Which browser are you using? In Firefox, for example, it should be called “Bookmark this link”.

How are the text files formatted? What would go in the post title? What category? This is not as simple as you think.

I can think of ‘edit *’ as a way of opening all the files in text editors and then copying and pasting in ‘batch mode’. By the way, unless these are your lyrics, does the World Wide Web truly need yet more lyrics mirrors, even with the same typos repeated? This is verging what is known as content spam or an attempt at googleeating.

I thought the changes between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 are so minor as to be negligible. There is just a security fix, which is unrelated to wp-db.php. Hopefully this will fix the error nonetheless. With better security, it might be a case of hitting two birds with one stone. Go for 2.0 just to make it worthwhile. Back up all data first.

bloom, I saw your post before, but what you try to do is far from trivial and you did not describe your data either. Could you elaborate on “import his 1,000 entry mailing list into WP and make them site members”? It was never clear to me…

In principle, if you want to shift mailing list archives onto WordPress, consider conversion tools like MHonArc, which pre-process the raw text-formatted archives that mailman, for example, makes readily available. If you want an importer for such a rare type of migration, you will need to write it yourself and hopefully share it with the world.

I get this error whenever I insert unnecessary newlines at the bottom of any of the template pages. Have you changed the code? Have you enabled a theme that cannot/should not be trusted. If so, try to revert to the previous state. Have you skinned the admin panel?

Have you got privileges to access your filestore? If so, you may have to rename the file to, let us say, filename.mp3, having reached it ‘the hard way’ using a file manager. You can otherwise change the code to permit uploads of this filetype. I don’t think it is Yahoo that prevents you from uploading an unknown type of files. It is remotely possible, however. What version of WordPress are you using by the way?

As a side note, cPanel’s file manager stubbornly prevents uploads on files which it suspects are Trojans. It can become very frustrating. I wonder if it will perceive your files similarly.

Keep refreshing the pages. They always come up eventually, even though this wasn’t necessarily the case yesterday. If you feel impatient, use tabbed browsing and wait until the page of interest becomes available.

I hope you understand that this is a *temporary* fluke (probably attributed to the server/host) and it should not reflect on the state of WordPress as a Web-based application.
