If necessary, try the manual upgrade process as described in Upgrading WordPress Extended.

@sambean, click on the Download tab at the top of this page, then click on Release Archive on the left menu.

Look at the ‘order’and the ‘posts_per_page’ arguments in
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query for something like:

query_posts('post_type=page&order=name&posts_per_page=900&post_status=publish');

You need to learn the Template Hierarchy, then use something like Filezilla to access the files on your host, and edit/create the appropriate Templates

Also see Stepping_Into_Template_Tags and Stepping_Into_Templates. Also a google search for the terms “wordpress introductory creating theme” should get you going.

If you have to code your own Page Template then you will want to learn how to use query_posts.

Look at some plugins:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/

or even

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/

This in your wp-config.php file will save one revision

define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 1);
