There is supposed to be a plugin available that will allow you to create a Page and set that as the homepage for your blog.

You’d still use index.php as the home page, but the plugin redirects the “home” Page to be displayed instead.

It is an interesting concept, using flash to display a blog, but I have to agree with most other folks here. I was kind of dissappointed in the speed of page loading. If you could find a way to maybe use flash as a portal, without using it to construct and display a whole page, you’d be able to use a smaller .swf object that would load faster and get people to content faster.

Here’s some feedback for the downloadable wallpapers. She’s a hot chick; her male fans are not going to be satisfied with the tiny little pics on each wallpaper. Put up some screen filling shots of her and you’ll get more of her male fans coming to the site. ??

I recently did something like this by using the MySQLAdmin function via my webhost’s Control Panel and just edited the ID#s manually.

I was editing link ID#s, but it should not be any different to change the post ID#s.

Well, Micheal, I am a small time, independent filmmaker in Upstate, NY that wants to “pee in the grass with the big dogs.” One of the things I need is the maximum amount of exposure to draw attention to my projects, along with, hopefully, prospective Executive Producers ($$ people *LOL*). So my target viewership is everyone! And that’s not just to get maximum exposure, but because I want to do projects in multiple genres; therefore, I will have mutiple, constantly changing audiences. Right now, I have a rather ribald comedy (G-Rated) on one of my production blogs and I’d like to have a couple of science fiction projects (Aftermath & a music video) done by the end of the year. I also have a blog for a friend of mine out west that has written a horror novella (Bonegrinder) and we’re publishing it online.

In the end, I don’t think my audience would care about how my website (or anyone else’s) is built, they just want it to work right. And so do I.

The easiest thing to do is to install the MightSeek PodPress podcasting plug in. it will do everything for you, except submit the podcast to iTunes. You’ll have to do that manually and then enter the FEEDID from Apple into PodPress when you get the acceptance e-mail from Apple. Elsewise, it is very easy to use and the plugin author is very accessible and very helpful for users.

Actually, all the other blogs will cease to function if I remove the Multiply plugin. It is what allows me to have multiple blogs in the first place.

Actually, it is there …

<div class="feedback"><br />
<?php edit_post_link('Edit Post', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('Leave a comment »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?><br />
</div>

I discovered that when I went back in to do your fix, ladydeluna.

I went ahead and put it in anyway, but that still does not solve the problem of WordPress displaying the blog as if I am not logged in (when I am), but yet taking me directly to the Admin page when I click “Login.”

(20 minutes later)

The problem seems to have stopped on my main blog, but contines with the other blogs created by the Multiply plug in.

Can I make a feature request here? Can I request that WP 3.0 natively support multiple blogs off of a single installation and that each blog be able to have its own theme?

podz – I, also would like this thread to stay constructive. My comments/question was never meant to bash one method over another.

Shoot! My bad spelling strikes again …

Here are those pages again:

Sorry – I was typing that in very late last night. *LOL*

Well, I was unaware of the Reboot “event” but last night I revamped one of my production diaries and I am 99% happy with the results.

Don’t forget that IE does not support the hover pseudo-class and so rolover images via CSS will not function. There are Javascript routines that are used by the Suckerfish dropdown menu that will give you a very good work around for this.

In no event will any of this work in anything before IE6, though.

I am sorry that I don’t have the links to hand, but you can search this forum or the ‘net at large for “Suckerfish” and examine the JS coding in combination with CSS commands to see how you might hack their code for your purposes.

To directly answer your question, Zacurtjadi, no WordPress does not seem to support Javascript behaviors for rollover buttons or dropdown menus. I’ve tried to get them to work on the WordPress portion of my site and have had no success whatsoever; something about splitting the code up between the header and body files seems to break the JS.

If you have success with hacking Suckerfish, please let me know as I am very interested in creating an alternative form of navigation for my site.

Thanks!

Thanks, moshu. Closing the endif; seems to have gotten rid of that error.

lady,

Actually, none of the themes I have downloaded use have that TEMPLATEPATH command, most likely because any templates at all are taken directly from the theme folder. So there is no need to define an alternate path to a template, unless a blogger is storing all their page templates together in a separate folder.

And, yes, I do have content divs:

<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>

I just left it at 3 lines instead of compressing it into one line, like yours. ??

The one real difference with your page is the separate id="page" Page div you are using and, once again, that item seems to be missing from the code of the Page templates in the themes I downloaded for use.

How about turning the sidebar “sideways”? Putting as a horizontal bar underneath the header image and above your posts, complete with multi-level dropdown menus for subcategories or displaying links to external pages with a multi-level format?

moshu,

Yes, my default Page Template has no description at the top. Here’s the code for the page template I am using. it is basically just the same thing as index.php with the lines of code for copyright and comments removed and the descriptive comments placed at the top:

<?php
/*
Template Name: ESkyPage3
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post">

<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
</div>

<!--
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
-->

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Yes, as long as they are given the correct security access to do so.
