Kitten, I’m no expert at this but I think you might have to wait for the DNS to propagate before it’ll work. Sometimes subdomains can be tricky without the DNS set right.

Way to go Lisa….smart catch.

I ask Mr. X on his blog and he posted the snippet of code he uses…..evidently I wasn’t using the correct functions. This code works and from within “The Loop”:
<?php previous_post('%', '&laquo previous', 'no', 'no', 1, '') ?>
" title="home">home
<?php next_post('%', 'next &raquo', 'no', 'no', 1, '') ?>

The code, whether inside or outside “The Loop”, returns nothing. It’s like an include file or function is not being…included.

It’s the path of least resistance. It’s important to know when switching the stylesheet that in actuality both the main blog html source file and the single entry html source file will include the content for both pages…what’s displayed is determined by the CSS display mode. So, the total sidebar ASCII that’s being transferred should weigh into your solution. For me, I’m not displaying anything additional in my sidebar on the comment page. So I don’t think the total file size will slow down my site…..though, I may change that down the line (I’m still working on my site).

This is something I’ve been able to do by switching the style sheet.
I found on this page near the bottom how to switch the style sheet.
I copied my style sheet and named it comments.css. All I had to do is then was remove all the CSS formating for that which I didn’t want printed to screen and replaced it with “display: none;”

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php echo $siteurl; ?><?php if ($p!="") { echo '/comments.css'; } else { echo '/maniacal.css'; } ?> );
</style>


Make sure you don’t have any spaces that will mess up the url when you use this code.

If you’re uploading a file via php…like with phpmyadmin…most ISP’s limit php uploads to 2MBs. It’s best to break a large file up into chunks. Or upload it via ftp and get your host admin to import it into the database.

It might be of interest to know which systems are sending the failed trackback. For instance, does the problem only occur from systems using MovableType?
It sounds to me there might be a bug in the system. A bug which ought to be corrected since so many bloggers communicate via trackback.
I hope you get some help.

I’m far from an expert at this but I went to your site and checked out the trackback uri. While trying to copy it, I end up capturing more text than I need. I’m wondering if the folks who send you trackbacks might not be copying and pasting the URI correctly. Just a thought….

I’m sort of glad to read this. I ran my CSS through a validator and it bounced back with an error in one of the RSS files. I was afraid it was something I had done. Anyway, that’ll just have to sit on the back burner for now. ??

Oh, and BTW, I got my idea from reading Venomous Kate’s source code. ??

I don’t know if it’s sacrilege to change the comment template but I got rid of the list tags and put the comments in their own <div>’s. Eventually, I want to add a third div to float in comment area with the post count. To do that I will need to learn a little bit of PHP (initialize the count=1 in the “if” statm then in the “for each” count++….I think?).

It’s amazing to think a small PHP blogging application would cause server load problems. Many hosts have no problem running complete PHP bulletin boards, like PHPBB, let alone a small blogging app like WordPress. It’s usually a CGI app which cause server overloads. I would consider changing hosts. My host, https://www.rochenhost.com , is pretty good. I’m sure others can make recommendations too.

This code, l – F j, Y, outputs this: Monday – April 12, 2004.
Again, thanks.

Ha, I didn’t even think to look in the administration panel. Thanks.
