In reply to: xmlrpc.php being exploitedIt sounds as though you’re suffering from referer spam linking, and not an actual exploit of WordPress. This is, unfortunately, common.
Several plugins exist to deal with this. Look for Referer Karma, and other such plugins.

In reply to: Plugin wanted: Author Avatar (For site with multiple post authors)My Gravatars plugin supports per-user gravatar images on the local blog. You could use it to display the author image in your template file.

In reply to: What WordPress can do for me?WordPress will do most of what you want, though you’re (largely) on your own when it comes to styling your blog’s theme / layout.
RSS feeds are automatically created when new posts are made, so that, at least, is one thing you won’t need to worry about.
Reading lists, music lists, and other sequential data can be accomplished in several ways. You could use the Links_Manager to hold each item as a link; or you could use regular posts for these items and display them as Asides.
Static content is usually best stored in Pages.
The bulk of the challenge that most people experience with WordPress is getting it to look right. The functionality exists for basically everything you want.

In reply to: Website hacked :(Your host is not responsible for any insecure applications you choose to run.
Alas, though we try our hardest, WordPress sometimes falls into the category of “insecure applications”. Verions prior to 1.5.2 suffered from a variety of vulnerabilities.
Version 1.5.2 is secure for now. If new vulnerabilities arise, you can be sure action will be taken.

In reply to: Subscribe plugin messed up!The plugin currently uses what WordPress considers to be an excerpt, which is what you manually write in the top field of the Advanced post screen.
subscribe2 does not automatically generate exceprts for you.
The next version of subscribe2 will also check whether you have a <–more–> tag inside your post. If you do, it will send the bit before that tag, rather than the whole post (assuming you’ve selected “excerpt”. If you select the whole post, it will correctly deliver the whole post).

In reply to: Posts waiting to be publishedI know of no official “moderation queue” mechanism (either built in, or from a plugin).
There’s currently no way for an author to differentiate between a draft they save that is a work-in-progress and a drfat that they save that is complete.
You’ll need to ask your authors to email you when they’r done; or put some token in the post title (“[COMPLETE]” for example), which will signify to you that the post is ready to be published. You’ll need to remember to remove that token from the post title before publishing.

In reply to: Wiki for WP PagesI believe the MicroWiki plugin at RedAlt may be what you’re looking for.

In reply to: Hello, I’ll be your Imbecile this EveningActually, I’m not aware of too many people looking to include a feed inside a post. Most people display feed contents in a sidebar somewhere.
I’ve not used PHPExec, so I don’t know how it works. I do know that with RunPHP, you need to check
eval() codewhen publishing the post, or else RunPHP will simply display your PHP as regular post contents without actually executing it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
