In reply to: Highlighting a TabTemplate_Tags/wp_list_pages#Markup_and_styling_of_page_items
Should be a starting point. YOu will need to change the references to the anchor tags to the classes listed in the docs.

SHould get you started.

In reply to: Linking to most recent in category..?In that case, I would use one of the “aside” type plugins/hacks to show that post.
http://katesgasis.com/2006/05/02/sideblog-plugin-v30/
<h2>Latest Entry</h2>
<ul class="nav">
<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=1');
foreach($posts as $post) :
?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>Is some code that might work in the sidebar as well, where category=1 the 1 is the cat ID for the story cat.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: Auto Theme Switch — PHP syntax ?I’ve never heard of FF rendering differently in mac and windoze. Right now, the site loads winfox.css even though I’m on a mac.
My personal opinion, look at the CSS and see what the issues are, and use valid XHTML and CSS, then hack for IE. FF should render valid code in either machine the same.

In reply to: i am dumb: can’t get comments to work?Easiest solution is to copy the comments.php file from the default theme into yours.
And don’t worry, that’s what the forums are for.

In reply to: Linking to most recent in category..?Just a word of warning. Coffee2code’s plugins are great, but use older syntax in them, and chances are, won’t be working with the upcoming 2.1.
If I understand your correctly, you want to exclude “story” from the home page, have a separate page just for those posts, with a different style.
That can be done without a plugin. YOu will need to create a custom category template for “story”. You can manually create that link in your sidebar.

In reply to: comments problemThere’s something wrong with your single.php template. It’s not getting to the point of loading comments.php. If you look at the page source for a single post, it’s stopping at a
<small>tag, just inside your postmetadata div. Look around there for some bad code.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Auto Theme Switch — PHP syntax ?Not sure of the syntax, but generally speaking, conditional statements in the CSS is the “proper” way of handling browser incompatibilities.

In reply to: Two images in headerI think you are going to have to scrap the existing header code and CSS, and create your own, thus my suggestion. Unfortunately, I don’t have to time to completely write it for you, you’ll need to do a little leg work yourself, but my framework *should* work….

In reply to: i am dumb: can’t get comments to work?I’m having a problem loading your site. It is very. s-l-o-o-o-w, and I have a very fast connection. Make sure you have a comments.php template in your themes folder for starters. Also, you may want to take a look at Using_Permalinks for your other issue.

In reply to: Can’t see wordpress site and weird mySQL database errorsconnection error doesn’t mean the database is wiped out. Best thing to do is access the DB via something like phpmyadmin and do a mysql dump to get the backup.

In reply to: I cannot upload files nowI don’t know the particulars of your hosting plan, but you should be able to just find a new host, point your domain to the new DNS, and cancel your account with the poorly managed datacenter1.
