In reply to: Category & Link Category ID’sIn the days when I really was a programmer (when I was 15), I programmed in basic, and I remember the same rule. Sometimes, I would number every hundred.

In reply to: “Enable Sending Referrers”Are you on a Mac or PC? If you’re running Netbarrier, go to Privacy ->Surf ->Information Hiding, and uncheck the “Last Web site visited” box.

In reply to: Excluding a categorieIt may very well be true, but I’m pretty sure the plug in does save you alot of code if you want to do multiple things…

In reply to: Recent PostsForget that last question, I figured it out…just add the .htmlspecialchars before the actual $post_title in addition to the permalink…
I’m still getting cg-amazon related html errors…but less of them…and your fix for recent posts works (obviously).
So, you can’t pass the variables in the
<?php get_recent_posts(); ?>
code? You have to modify the hack?
Please, can you take a look at my page and tell me what the heck is going wrong? Maybe its a css thing, but I don’t think so. I don’t have any more
anywhere…Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Recent PostsOK, I’ve got another question…How do I deal with ampersands in the actual permalink title…
Let’s say the name of my post was A & B. When the page converts to HTML and show up on my main blog page, it looks fine but in the XHTML the & becomes an undefined string, and now I get XHTML errors. How do you correct the hack so that ampersands can be converted to & for XHTML purposes.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Recent PostsI think my new XHTML validation problems are mostly from the CG-Amazon plugin. Before the page was fine. *Sigh*. That’s yet another thing to fix…but I don’t know how I’m going to fix it. It’s a big plugin.

In reply to: 3 column layout test blogDots by Alex King is a good place to start. Yes, you need some divs. The only prob. with three column so far that I see is that the left column can have dynamic placement of new
<li>features (i.e., as one group expands, the rest get pushed further down), but the right side has to have absolute assignment from the
top: 0px;
or whatever because otherwise there is a space on the left side. So, when you want to add stuff to the right side, you have to manually readjust everything in your css.
Unless, of course, someone knows how to make dynamic placement happen on the right side as well.
I was going to try dreamweaver and see what I could come up with. Might as well, since I’m having to learn .php and css, so what’s the diff about learning one new program?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Recent PostsI just wanted bullets or <i>something</i> to separate the recent posts. Otherwise, they all run together…But I found what I needed to do.
Change the code that Nick has you put in your index.php file from this:
<?php get_recent_posts(10, ”, ‘
‘, true, 5); ?>
to:
<?php get_recent_posts(10, ‘• ‘, ‘
‘, true, 5); ?>
or, put whatever text there you want.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: GD for PHP – reduxI decided to just install it in the root folder. It seems to work so I’m not going to question it.
