In reply to: The ScriptyGoddess Read More Show/HideActually Scripty’s code is a hack of the core files not a plugin per se.
Try this true plugin that does the same function without mucking with your WP files.

In reply to: How to use Ping vs TrackbackPings will only work if the sending and receiving sites have the function enabled. You say:
“Every now and then I see posts appearing at other sites, but I am not pinged. “
What does that mean exactly? If that means the other site has a link to your blog post you have to be sure the other site has the function enabled. Obviously if you have communicated with them and verified it is enabled you do in fact have a problem.
Personally I think the ping function is a pain in the rear. I have them enabled for incoming pings but not out going.
If you have posts with a few links to sites that don’t have the function (news sites, etc, etc) or it is disabled it just slows down posting time.
Trackbacks on the other hand are at my discretion and must be manually entered by me.

In reply to: sidebar moved on me…. why?Simple solutions to simple problems…I love them.
The pics, specificly the “wedding” pics are way too large!
Your css code:
#content {
float:right;
font-size: 1.2em;
width:400px;
}As you can see above sets the width of your posts at 400 pixels. Every pic you enter should be something less than 400. Some of those pics must be 800 pixels wide!

In reply to: “More” Tag Screws Up BlogThe Scripty Goddess code is a hack vice plugin.
Try this an actual plugin for the more function.
http://www.chroder.com/archives/2005/05/31/wordpress-collapsible-more-link/Just load it and activate it.
Then you can modify your Quicktags js (if needed) to reflect the changed code.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Text in Entry shows a mouse over picture and links to a siteYour correct, with the avatar popup plugin there is a lot of code to insert. I solved that minor problem by adding it to my list of quicktags. Now all I have to do is click one button to use it.

In reply to: Trackback SpamAnd once again I’ll second macmanx:
Pezastic, you’re joking right? You get hit by 1 spam comment and 4 spam trackbacks 6 days after install Bad Behavior
On one blog alone BB tosses out, on average, 1800 spam attempts every seven days.
If that is not effective enough for you Pezastic I would also suggest you say a fond fairwell to blogging and the internet.

In reply to: Trackback SpamI’ll second macmanx reference to the Bad Behavior spam plugin.
I have it installed in three blogs for well over a month and have had something less than 10 items of spam in any form during that time.
