Here’s a PHP browser checker. Include the file, run the function and it’ll pull the browser name and version number. Then you’ll have to check that it matches or exceeds your requirements.

Personally I’m not one to exclude any visitors but I sure wish I could. Columns would be tasty!

Here’s the two code snippets merged together:

<?php
if(!$post->post_excerpt) {
the_content();
} else {
?>
<strong>
<a rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>
</strong>
<?php
}
?>

Nah, it was directed towards Viper007Bond’s type=”hidden”. I’ve been using CSS to solve problems for so long I’m forgetting the basics!

This should get you started

Installing Multiple Blogs on the Codex.

You can do alphaoide’s solution by altering the username input box to this:

<input type="text" name="username" value="insert_username_here" style="display: none;">

Well, it’ll be similar to that. The important parts are the value="insert_username_here" which makes that username the default value and `style=”display: none;” which hides the input box. Of course you could put that rule into you CSS file too.

Check under Options -> Writing and you’ll see there’s a ‘default post category’. That’s where you can change the ‘uncategorized’ category. Does that solve your problem or is there more?

Method 1: This uses just 1 loop and allows you to style your first, second and then all other posts separately.

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php // Initialize the counter
$counter = 0;
?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<?php if ($counter == 0) { ?>

// Display post #1 this way

<?php } elseif $counter == 1 { ?>

// Display second post this way

<?php } else { ?>

// All other posts are displayed like this

<?php } ?>

<?php // Add 1 to the counter
$counter++;
?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

// What you want displayed after the loop has run

<?php else : ?>

// What you want displayed if no posts are found

<?php endif; ?>
