In reply to: Blogrolling errorJust head on over to blo.gs and create a new list. It’s a bit time-consuming, but the plug-in is worth it.

In reply to: How to design templatesI learned CSS looking at other people’s sources, figuring out how things worked.
It’s not hard, you can pin it down in just over a week, if that.
Orient yourself with WordPress’s templating engine, then, as Brak said, scrapindex.php
and create a new file with the desired functions.
It takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s actually quite simple after awhile.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Help!!! Can’t modify Header Information ErrorI just went by, and did said search. Everything looks fine to me; I’m not seeing any errors.
When I was setting up my blog, I got a few errors like that. Some sorted themselves out, others I had to fiddle with.
You’re sure you’ve only calledwp-blog-header.php
once in your index file?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: help: “more” tag and different directoryA link would be nice.
Have you set your permalinks up usingmod_rewrite
? And is the default path to your WordPress installation correct (i.e. site.com/wp)?
Also, I don’t understand the custom template. Are you using frames?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress looks bad in Opera browserWow, I just tested it in Opera. Man, it is messy.
Mind you, I consider Opera to be the hybrid of IE and Mozilla. Some, well, quite a few elements are supported improperly.
It could be because of Opera’s layout engine, because the page is valid and sticks to XHTML 1.0 Transitional standards.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Blogrolling errorThere’s a simple way to import your blogroll with Rebelpixel’s plug-in.
You just need to create a blo.gs profile.
It’s powerful and allows for quite a bit of customisation.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Permalinks a little edgy…Did you copy and paste the mod_rewrite under your permalinks options to a .htaccess file?
Simply copy and paste that into a blank text file, save it as .htaccess.txt, and upload it to the server.
When it’s there, change it to .htaccess only. “.htaccess” is the files extension.
A good tutorial can be found on this page.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: links in postsTargets are not XHTML Strict valid, they work if you’re only using transitional.
The correct syntax is actuallytarget="new"
. Usingtarget="new"
instead oftarget=_blank"
will open a new window, but any other links pointing to “new” will open in that window as well.
It’s a much better way for people using Internet Explorer. Of course, I leave out targets and leave it up to the user, I feel it gives them more control over where they’re browsing.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Timestamps are a month ahead.Okay, this is bizarre. It’s working again, but for some reason, the “future” posts (the ones that were a month ahead) aren’t displaying. Does WordPress get the date from the server you’re hosted on? If so, that might be the problem.
Anyway, the timestamps are normal now. Not sure for how long, though.
And, the symbol I’m wondering about is “??”. It’s present on permalinks and categories in the title bar of your browser.
