In reply to: A page link to category in K2 ThemeMy bad.
I didn’t explain myself well at all.So as you said he wants two different blogs which are really categories.
So for the main page I popped this into the main index.
<?php
if (is_home()) {
query_posts(“cat=1”);
}
?>
and it limits the main page to one category. sweetI was thinking I would try to link directly to the category archive (http://www.bemoretraining.com/blog/?cat=2) for getting to the second category (which is pretty much what you recommended above). Unfortunately I couldn’t find where this theme was getting the page links from, so I couldn’t hard code it. I since found that. So I have linked it in.
So my two primary goals of limiting the front page and making a link to the second category(as blog).
I did an ounce of clean up, like dumping the bit that says “Archive of Training category”. One item remains. The script that runs the tabs at the top, to make the white when active, blue when not and black when hovered is broken. I think I know why, I just have to fix it. In the mean time I will mark this as resolved. If I can’t crack that nut in a couple days I’ll pop that question in here.
The second half of the above post was simply another thought on how I could solve the problem in a different way if I was way off target. It was ugly and incomprehensible.
I appreciate the help Moshu. I’ll be back for more, as always 🙂

In reply to: Chickletize WordPressSent him an email. Waiting to hear back.
I can’t really see an issue, I’m just using it to link back to WordPress.org. Where the WP link is on the sidebar of most themes. It is his pic thoughForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Reinstalling WordPress with Existing MySQLThe install you just did is pointing to a bland table, go into config and point it at the old one. Just change the name and login info.

In reply to: Changed wp URL, now can’t get to wp-adminI killed my blog accidentally today in a very similar way.
I ended up deleting the old install. Opened a new database. I installed clean and pointing to the new database. Then I redirected the program to my old database.
It was probably reckless but it worked.
It may work for you.DISCLAIMER: you follow this at your own peril.

In reply to: Linking wordpress blog and domain name, how-to.LOL, leave it to Spencer to pimp install4free (which is a great service, spencer installed one of my blogs).
Maybe I didn’t explain what I was trying to say very well but the crux of it actually agreed with the two pros who responded after me. Redirects suck, I’m using one and hate it but am trying to make it work.
The redirect in the admin panel doesn’t work for me.So get a proper host (I can’t say I recommend fatcow).

In reply to: Linking wordpress blog and domain name, how-to.If you forward your new domain to your old domain, that should do it I think. Then if someone types your old domain, it’ll take them to theunsettled.org. I have simialr difficulties with two domains on one of their accounts. It’s really not working that well. It seem you are better off withone domain per file path or, even better, your own server.
I have tried using the feature in the administrative dashboard that allows you to indicate another address you want your blog to show up at. It breaks my comments each and every time so I can’t recommend that route but you could try it and see how it works.Forum: Installing WordPress

In reply to: Dummy Entries for developmenthmm, didn’t think I would offend anyone so much. Tell you what, he can use my feed. It’s just for a test system. As long as he’s not publishing it as his own, it doesn’t bother me.

good luck with your test system.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Dummy Entries for developmentI know that you can import someone elses RSS feed pretty well, I did that once. You tend to lose the comments but it saves a lot of work.

In reply to: Please Review my First Time Bloghmm, took a look. I like the colors and all, you could widen your one column if you like, it takes up about at third of my screen, there’s a whole lot of dead space around it. It lookslike you have all the latest and greatest toys going already. Personally, I would make more differentiation between your bottom bar, where the feeds and everything are, it kinda bleeds from articles right into that stuff and I didn’t notice. Make sure you have you settings the way you want them so your bottom bar doesn’t run away as you add posts.
Your left most top colum of links is overlapping part of your middle column.Your feed burner icon at the bottom is overlapping some text, I assume that is a CSS postition (absolute) type issue.
For personal taste things, I would just use one or two feed buttons. Blog roll is nice, flickr – eh. your feeds within your blog are easy to just space out past, some color change would be nice there and maybe shorten the text, it’s a lot of grey to wiz past.that’s it for my nontechnical newbie ish eye.
