In reply to: Adding MP3s to a PostYou are limited by your server setup with regards to your maximum upload size. You’ll have to use FTP for anything bigger.
After that, just link to the mp3 file with something like:
<a href="http://example.com/audio/your-file.mp3">Listen now</a>WordPress will check the link, determine that it is an audio file, and anyone subscribing to your feed with something like iTunes will see it as an “enclosure” and just like that you’ll be podcasting.

In reply to: Ordering LInksWell, you could go into the database and manually swich IDs 1 and 3. Or, you can use WP functions to manually call in each category one-by-one. This is definitely an area of weakness in WP.

In reply to: Adsense in postsYou could use a plugin. you could either count paragraphs, and put it between certain ones, or you could place it manually with some sort of trigger.
This looks like it fits the bill:

In reply to: Upgraded to 1.5.2 … very easily… but !You can look in wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php to see how it is calling it. You could also consider WP 2.0.1 which uses wordpress@domain.com for From, I think, and uses Reply-To for the commenter’s e-mail.

In reply to: Help me find a dedicated server! :(thomasp,
I recently (January 31st) got a dedicated server from A+ Hosting:
http://www.aplushosting.com/english/products-dedicated.phtmlI got the P4 3.0 GHz machine with 2GB DDR RAM (it is currently $139 a month + $49 initial setup).
The server is hosting several WordPress sites with anywhere from 70,000 to 100,000 daily page views, combined, and well over 190,000 daily hits. MySQL averages 10 queries per second.
I’m using MySQL’s Qcache, a custom WP Plugin to optimize post queries so that Qcache can be more effective, APC (Advanced PHP Cache), a WP plugin to cache WP objects to APC instead of to disk, and WP-Cache2 for caching out HTML output. I’ve been very happy with its performance.
RAM usage is usually 70%-95%, but that’s because I basically told MySQL to be really greedy… i.e. it’s using more than it needs to, just because it’s there. MySQL could easily live on 256-512MB if I wanted it to.
This system would likely be overkill for you, but it’d give you room to grow, for quite some time (maybe forever). You could very easily get away with 1GB of RAM and a less processor, but you probably won’t save that much money.
ServerBeach is also a good choice. The only thing there is that they don’t (AFAIK) offer Debian, which I happen to be partial to… but then they do offer you a lot of choices when it comes to your control panel.

In reply to: Page Draft Plugin anyone?This feature is currently being implemented into the next version of WordPress.
One way to have a page “draft” is to set a top-level page called “Drafts” and then exclude that from all wp_list_pages() instances. Then, create a new page, with “Drafts” as its parent, and it will be hidden under Drafts. When you’re ready to publish, just move it to a different parent. Kind of hackish, but it gets the job done.

In reply to: Images as links in 2.0 to outsideHave you tried turning off the rich text editor? If that doesn’t help, you could install the Role Manager Plugin [1] and give yourself the unfiltered_html capability.

In reply to: Too much memory per process usage?Skippy’s WP-DB-Backup plugin would be my guess as to the cuprit. You say it only happens sometimes… so that would make sense with a wp-cron triggered action.
10MB would be very high, yes. Many PHP setups are limited to 8MB, which is usually fine.

In reply to: Redirecting re-slugged categoriesActually, forget the [L] part… thats for RewriteRule. Just make sure the redirect is before the WP rules.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Redirecting re-slugged categoriesyou should add the [L] switch to the end, and also make sure that this redirect is BEFORE your WordPress rewrite rules in .htaccess
