In reply to: Link FormattingUnless a plug-in exists which does that already, I suggest you do the following;
By default, links are displayed in a list form, i.e.
[ul] followed by a variety of list elements
[li]. What you want to do is to discard that markup and have nothing but the [a] tags, for whatever reason you fancy. Have a look at the functions which generate menu elements and ‘rob’ them from the code which makes them structured lists. Back up original functions before hacking them.Forum: Installing WordPress

Fresh, from earlier today… don’t be misled by the title. Chetan uses a nice archives plugin.

In reply to: import users/membersIt sounds like what you need is a freelancer to hire — somebody who does not mind doing some data entry for a low cost. The job sounds very mechanical and I can’t think of any easy way of handling this other than a dual-head display with multiple text editor windows on one side (or a spreadsheet) and WordPress on the other.
Option 2: You could code something (or re-use) to have a password generator and dump a clean tab-delimited list of users to add. You could then write a PHP importer to parse the file or simply edit the MySQL data files directly, then restore (upload) it.

In reply to: Looking for a pluginWordPress automatically communicates with Ping-o-matic. This is its default behaviour. It does so whenever you publish something, so you needn’t tinker with anything or change any settings. Let it do its thing. *smile*

In reply to: Monthly archives dropdown for a category?What you describe at the start is similar to:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=5661
(among other discussion including a recent thread)
If what you want to do is a composition of months and categories (i.e. show me all posts from category X in month Y), you might need to do some coding. There is no magic URL that will do it as far as I know. If you have just one such category, all you need to do is add a simply condition that narrows down the matches to ones that belong to a particular category number.
Start with the function that displays all posts for a given month, add the category-type condition and make that a new function. Then, take the examples above and have them link to your new function.

In reply to: Several different sidebarYou can extend WordPress (the sidebar included) in a variety of ways using plug-ins. Have a look at:

There are also themes that would have a similar effect without much intervention from you:

In reply to: Styling sidebar helpTry something like the following instead:
.sidebar a:after{
content: ” ” url(/link.png);
}.sidebar a:visited:after {
content: ” ” url(/link-visited.png);
}Be aware that IE doesn’t know what ‘before’ and ‘after’ mean.

In reply to: What you thinkSeen something similar before. I’m assuming there is some brand new public theme involved? No? Either way, I love it.
