Nifty. 😉

I love the colors and the way the posts look, but what happens if the post title is rather lengthy? Will it truncate or go out of the “box”?

BTW, I really do like your designs. I’ve been studying them for several days. 😀

Actually, there is.

Again, here’s my code from my index.php (main page):

<?php if (is_category()) { $posts = query_posts($query_string . '&orderby=title&order=asc&posts_per_page=-1'); } ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


The ‘posts_per_page=-1’ tells it to post them all.

Here is the code further down that tells it whether to use just the title & date or output content too:

<?php if (is_home() || is_date() || is_author()) { ?>
<div class="meta"><?php _e("filed under"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> <?php _e("on");?> <?php the_time('l j F Y'); ?> <?php _e("at");?> <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>
<?php } else { ?>
<div class="meta"><?php _e("on");?> <?php the_time('l j F Y'); ?> <?php _e("at");?> <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></div>
<?php } ?>

<?php if (!is_category() || !is_archive()) { ?>
<div class="storycontent">
<?php if (is_home() || is_date() || is_author() || is_archive() || is_category()) {
if ( in_category('5') ) { the_excerpt_reloaded(30, <i><em><img><a><b>
<ul>
<li>
<ol><br>, content, TRUE, (more...), TRUE, 2, TRUE);
} else {
the_excerpt_reloaded(50, <i><em><img><a><b>
<ul>
<li>
<ol><br>, content, TRUE, (more...), TRUE, 2, TRUE);
}
} else { the_content(); }?>
</div>

(Note: I am using the_excerpt_reloaded () plug-in rather than the default the_excerpt() function.)

Here‘s how my category pages look as opposed to my index page.

Yes, thank you very much! Outstanding job!

oooo, I’m very interested in the answer to that question as I’ve been considering that for the last day or so myself.

I just wanted to add my 2cents. 😉

I was using Greymatter for a long time and that software does have huge gaping security holes. I had to delete and restart several blogs because once I got over 150 posts, when I updated the site in anyway, I’d get my account shut down because it was using to much CPU time, etc.

As an alternative, my host actually recommended WP to me. I think they even have one of those easy set up functions though I didn’t use it.

I certainly think that WP is far more stable, feature-rich, and secure than Greymatter so I wonder if your host has WP confused with some other types of journal-ware.
