In reply to: Can I Post with Really Old Dates?Great idea! My grandfather left a journal from the war, though he wasn’t on the front lines, so it lacks a lot of drama.
If PHP, your server or WP won’t let you do it, perhaps you could scale the dates and write a little script to convert them. For example, December 5th, 1944 = December 5th, 1975 (a date that WP lets you do) etc. Then you write a little php script that takes the WP date, and passes it through the “algorithm” that you used for conversion, and displays it the way you want.
With this, it may be hard to have Wednesday, Dec. 12th, 1945 because the dates/days of the week don’t line up across the years perfectly. I think (someone help me here), that the pattern of days of week to day of month is in sync every 34 years (?). If this is true, just find the one that corresponds to 1944 and ’45 and the algorithm will be a cinch: just subtract from the year the approriate number to make it 1944 or ’45. If figure that much out, I’d be willing to try to write the script for you: mike – at- antiwar – dot – com.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Multiple BlogsI have three blogs set up with one database. It is a LOT easier to have multiple blogs with one database and multiple tables. Just make sure when you install the 2nd, 3rd, et al, that you alter the table names. Simple as that.

In reply to: Redesign(s)Of course I want opinions!
“There’s no background set.”
I am not seeing this…It shows the background image for me (FF .9.3).
“As for the other three…. very nice, like the look and all….. (here comes the “but” part)… but, it is VERY right heavy and gives a lopsided feel to it. I thought it was interesting, since the tendency is to be left heavy, this took it to the other extreme.”
Indeed I did. Honestly, I got sick of designing boilerplate centered or left websites. This was my response to it. I think it is also a by-product of my photography style… I will try another layout that isn’t less right-heavy, perhaps moved a bit to the center.

In reply to: Great Stats ProgramWell, the first releases were a little buggy…so I don’t have stats before April of this year. I just looked at the directory and see that two months of stats is less than 1 MB.

In reply to: My first attempt at a WP photoblogantifuse-
How are you displaying the thumbnails in the proper proportions? I understand that one can use a joavascript for that…
Thanks!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Not receiving comment notificationsOh, so 1.01 has comment moderation? Apparently, mine isn’t working either.
Allusion, I assume that you are suggesting that if the two emails are different then moderation won’t work… If so, I checked mine and they are the same. I also (unknowingly) have the setting to “true.” Not a big deal though, I get little comment spam.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: php include helpHere is the tag…which assumes that you are storing said file in the same dir as the page you are calling the function:
<?php include("filename.txt"); ?>
or
<?php include("../filename.txt"); ?>Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: What may I delete?I will answer my own question:
Yes Mike, you can delete all b2 files. However, make sure that in index.php you change “b2comments.php” to “wp-comments.php.”Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Sexy commentsSee the style sheet and the classes “.comments-body”, “comment-number” etc. Basically, background images and some precise positioning.

The Link manager and its associated tags are very powerful.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Permanent links & searchWhen no one answers your question, look for it yourself…I heeded my own advice 🙂 :
The tag for category id is “the_category_ID()”, which is intuitive. I also discovered that most tags are defined in /b2-include/b2template.functions.php.Forum: Fixing WordPress
