In reply to: how to create a miniblog on a page with in my main blogsorry, not trying to throw you off with the super blogger link, I meant that to be an made up name, didn’t think about it linking to something.
As for creating a category of mini blog, it’s easy.
Ethan and handy have given you everything.
I made one for this guy: http://www.bemoretraining.com/blog
and yeas that one is meant to be a real linkEDIT: realized I said it was easy but it was huge pain to me at the time, but that is the way of things. You’ll get it, these guys have taken good care of you.

In reply to: firefox and wordpress website (with benevolence theme) problemslink works okay for me. you can google validate xhtml and it’ll give you a link to the W3C site. That will tell you where your webpage has errors (or you can use firebug on firefox). By validate, I mean that it will look at your page as it is read by a browser and tell you if there are any technical mistakes, like open tags, it seems to be a common issue with firefox, it doesn’t seem to play well with invalid pages. It’s a common recommendation on these boards and one I use myself. It can be time consuming the first time or two because you have to find the incorrect lines on the validation page then go into the theme editor, pick the right file and edit appropriately.
Based on a quick glance over the validation page, it looks like you may have an open DIV in your main index. So you can look in your main index and see if you have more <DIV> than</DIV> and if so make the correction. If your not terribly familiar with how they work, I would back uo your theme first.
The more I think about it, viewing your page with firefox with firebug installed may not be a bad idea. It should show you what firefox is seeing.Sorry the directions aren’t totally precise and certainly not concise but it’s code so it’s a little more lucid than that. I hope that helps to some degree.

In reply to: how to create a miniblog on a page with in my main blogDo you want both your main blog and your mini blog showing up on your main page or do you want one to be clicked to through a tab, as in http://www.superblogger.com is the general news site and then you click on a link or tab that says admin blog to access your miniblog?
The instructions above cover the latter the former, is a bit more tricky. It’s probably totally seperate installations and tables.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: firefox and wordpress website (with benevolence theme) problemslooks like maybe you have a mismatched number of <div> to </div>
validate you html and see if that doesn’t make a difference.

In reply to: WordPress blog or static site… advice?Well, I’ve never heard of Joomla before and only played with it for about 15 minutes. I personally don’t see a huge advantage for myself but each user is different. If I were you, I’d play with the Joomla test setup, even DL and try it out on your service. If you need a test install of Word press, let me know. I have a defunct install I’m not using, I’ll give you admin rights and you can feel free to play.

In reply to: how to create a miniblog on a page with in my main blogIf I’m reading right, you want to display all categories but one on your main page and then show the exclusion on a different page, maybe like an admin blog or something?
am I close?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Email notification pluginI started using Feedblitz. It doesn’t send the email out in real time, if that is what you are going for, but it notifies people of updates every 24 hours. There are other viable options out there. I’d say if your plugin isn’t working, play with others.

In reply to: WordPress blog or static site… advice?It doesn’t seem like a this or that question. You want both. You want a blog type page in a framework that is static. Why decide when you can have both?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: php help in K2 theme requestedSo, I fixed it.
The code listed above now reads:
<li class="<?php if ((is_home())or (is_category('1'))){ ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Blog</a></li>I have some very similar code to make the second tab work for it’s own category.
So there is a cheap and easy hack for two blogs on one install. sorta

In reply to: How to do blog like this?It looks like a basic, whit, two column layout. What is itabout this layout that you want?
Most of it looks like your friend has just taken the time to fill in the sidebar thouroughly. It’s more of a maintenance issue.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Static pages blankinteresting that your links page works. Any reason why this one should be different from the other pages?

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI can see the latter but not the former (you’re quite a photographer). If this is a change from your situation earlier in the day, I would consider contacting your host again. Perhaps they have been messing with their DB server and need to stop.
If that fails, I might reinstall WP for the first site and point it at the same database you have been working with. See if that reestablishes the connection. Do make sure you back up your plugins and themes first though.As far as making sure it doesn’t happen again. Not possible but you could consider a different host.
