If you’re feeling extroverted, email a few other bloggers, esp. at smaller blogs, and introduce yourself. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [how to add a picture in the sidebar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-a-picture-in-the-sidebar/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-a-picture-in-the-sidebar/#post-430526) * Newskoo, you’ll need to use an image editing program to save your image in a format other than .bmp – .jpg and .gif are both good formats. I think Internet Explorer displays bitmap images, but most other browsers don’t. * Then your code will look like `` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Help Me Develop a Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-me-develop-a-plugin/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-me-develop-a-plugin/#post-429309) * Why not just use a custom field? Then you can display it with [Scott Reilly’s get custom field](http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/) plugin. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [automatic rss feeds to my blog site…can i do this?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-rss-feeds-to-my-blog-sitecan-i-do-this/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatic-rss-feeds-to-my-blog-sitecan-i-do-this/#post-421694) * “Import from RSS” is designed to be a one-time process for people who are moving from a different software system to WordPress. To display someone else’s RSS feed and have it update by itself, you’ll need a plugin like [one of these](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Outside_Information)– I like inlineRSS, myself. * Motor Trend has [an official policy](http://www.motortrend.com/mtrss/) allowing anyone to republish their feeds, as long as they get proper credit and a link back, so you’re probably ok on permissions as long as you fix up your site to make it more clear that these are Motor Trend’s links, and not your own. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Weighted Words 1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/) * Thread Starter [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/page/2/#post-212871) * WW uses the WordPress search engine to show where the word is used; if you want hilighting, I think [Search Highlight](http://www.huddledmasses.org/wp-content/plugins/source.php?file=google-hilite.php) will do it for you. That’s also why you’re getting “unpredictable” for “table”– WW doesn’t count it, but WP search does. I don’t know if [Search reloaded](http://www.semiologic.com/software/search-reloaded/) would change that or not. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Weighted Words 1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/) * Thread Starter [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/page/2/#post-212868) * No, but I haven’t looked very hard, either. Have you? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Browser Sniff plugin HELP PLEASE!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browser-sniff-plugin-help-please/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browser-sniff-plugin-help-please/#post-420397) * Your root directory is the one with the wp-admin/ and wp-content/ folders in it, as well as things like wp-blog-header.php and wp-rss.php. * Unless you have shell access on your server, it’s probably best to extract the archive on your computer, and then upload all the extracted files/directories to your WP root directory. To do this, open the .tar.gz file with something like WinZip or Stuffit – usually you can just double-click and your system will recognize the extension and unpack the file. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Weighted Words 1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/) * Thread Starter [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/page/2/#post-212866) * Chachee: You can add entries in your stylesheet for ` p.weightedwordlist { } p.weightedwordlist a { } … to change the whole paragraph, or just the links, respectively. * Jwurster: The count is the number of actual occurrences of the word, not the number of posts. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Custom Field for Categories / Category Meta Tags](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-field-for-categories-category-meta-tags/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-field-for-categories-category-meta-tags/#post-386037) * I too would love such a plugin – but rather than writing it, I’m kludging my way through by creating little text files to contain all my metadata. I’ve got this code on my sidebar, to show the “metadata” chunks of text I keep in files named for each category: ` get_var("SELECT category_nicename FROM $wpdb->categories WHERE cat_id=".$cid); * $path = ABSPATH.'wp-content/text/'.$name.'-include.txt'; * if( file_exists($path) ) { readfile($path); } * } ?> * It’s not as elegant as doing it through the admin interface, but it’s easier than hard-coding a different template for each category. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Preventing WP from rewriting HTML in post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preventing-wp-from-rewriting-html-in-post/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/preventing-wp-from-rewriting-html-in-post/#post-382727) * Have you tried [Text Control](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/TextControl)? It has a nice “no formatting” option. * Also, make sure that under Options > Writing, the “correct invaidly nested XHTML” box is unchecked. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Change/Edit “No Comments” Text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changeedit-no-comments-text/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changeedit-no-comments-text/#post-412088) * You actually _can_ change what text is displayed by that comments_popup_link function you found; see [its Codex entry](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comments_popup_link) for instructions. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Database reverted to default after hard drive failure](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-reverted-to-default-after-hard-drive-failure/) * Thread Starter [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-reverted-to-default-after-hard-drive-failure/#post-374056) * Just in case anyone has a similar problem, and stumbles on this thread: * My database was totally hosed. Four+ years of blogging, seemingly down the drain. I never did write a clever wget script, but I pulled stuff from Google’s cache manually. I wrote a perl script to go through all the cached html pages and reformat everything as a Movable Type export file, which I imported into WordPress. My blog was saved! * More details are [here](http://greengabbro.net/2006/06/23/how-i-rescued-my-blog-from-googles-cache/). * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [RSS error, which file to fix?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-error-which-file-to-fix/) * [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rss-error-which-file-to-fix/#post-373395) * Looks like a blank line at the beginning of the file. Probably it’s wp-rss2.php, but you might also check wp-rss.php, wp-commentsrss2.php, wp-rdf.php, or wp-atom. php. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Weighted Words 1.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/) * Thread Starter [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weighted-words-11/#post-212803) * The plugin author is, alas, too busy for the forseeable to incorporate any of your fabulous hacks – I might get round to it in, um, winter, maybe. So don’t hold back hacks on my account 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [new plugin – weighted words](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-weighted-words/) * Thread Starter [yami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yami/) * (@yami) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-plugin-weighted-words/page/2/#post-209341) * For anyone still following this thread: version 1.1 is available, official support thread [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/35110).
