You can edit the description in your feed file to include a link.

Ah, so you guys know. I guess the solution for now is to publish the post, and then send trackbacks?

The files have a .php extension. PHP is the programming language the code is written in. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided to use the same file extension for the Picture It! files. The WordPress .php files are actually just text files, and can be opened with any text editor.

Can you give us a link to the site?

Works fine for me. I’m using 1.5.1, with xmlrpc.php revision 2606. Permissions on the file are set to 644.

Blogging tools and content management systems are not two different things. CMS is a generic term for software that manages documents, and in particular, for web sites. Blogging tools are a subset of the CMS category. (Didn’t anybody here take set theory?)

It’s free because (1) you don’t have to pay for it, and (2) it’s licensed under the GPL.

I fixed the fclose() problems by moving to revision 2606 of functions.php and xmlrpc.php. However, I’m still generating no record at ping-o-matic, and instead of getting the fclose error when receiving pingbacks, I get this one. The ping still shows up on my post, though.

In Links > Manage Links > Edit Link, there is an option to set the target attribute for each link in the Advanded section at the bottom. Set target to “_blank” and the link will open in a new window. It’s not valid xhtml, but it works.

In the sidebar code for your page, there is a php function which basically asks WordPress for a list of pages. In the default template, it is on line 41 of sidebar.php, and looks like this:

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

To get it to list pages in the in the order defined by the Page Order option in Write->Write Page, replace that line with the following:

<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' );

There’s more information on the wp_list_pages function in the Codex.

Pretty cool, although you have some validation problems. For another variation on blix, you can check out my blog, as well.

It isn’t just the RSS issue. Trackbacks and pingbacks have problems in 1.5.1, as well. It would be nice to at least get a statement from the developers about when we might expect a release that fixes these bugs. As it is, I have to decide on my own whether to sit tight and wait for a 1.5.2 at some indefinite future time, or to wade into the nightlies and try and patch it myself.

Anybody?

Copy the text from your index.php file and paste it into pastebin. That will add line numbers for you.

(1) Access your blog’s admin interface.

(2) Go to the plugins tab, and deactivate any plugins that you have activated.

(3) Click on “view site” at the top.

Does that help you access your blog?

The alignments and positioning of divs will never supercede a wellformed table-layout.

With all due respect, infranic, this is simply false. Tables were designed for data, not for page layout, and severely limit your design options. You will always be able to create more flexible and more precise designs with css than with tables. Welcome to 2005.

You should read this article from mezzoblue on columns and grids in css, and check out some of the more sophisticated css-based sites, like subtraction.com. Try doing something like that with tables.
