    Beautiful!! Great job!!

    Looks really great! However, on the individual posts, I see a red-x in the top left corner. IE 6.0.

    I usually post comments on blogs when I have a short thought or idea to contribute to the post. If I’m going to take something in a different direction, or write something lengthy, then I usually use a trackback, to avoid “hijacking” someone’s comments section. Just a personal thing…

    I like the look!

    Looks good in IE 6. Great job integrating it with the existing look – seamless!

    Site looks good in IE 6. When you say you updated to 1.5, I assume you mean 1.5.3… it fixes some important security holes.

    Great work! ??

    A few thoughts…

    I don’t know if WordPress is a federally registered trademark, but it most certainly is a trademark. It’s a novel, coined phrase which designates a unique piece of software. The name appears numerous places on this site, which is about the software, and on blog admin pages as shipped. Just because a particular trademark is not federally registered in the US, doesn’t mean that it is still free for anyone to use. It just means that, in a lawsuit, the owners/users of that term have more to prove than if the mark was registered.

    A few more thoughts…

    1) Use of the phrase “WordPress” on the product, in conjunction with the type of language that WordPress uses, is confusing. “php-WordPress” implies that the makers of WordPress have different versions, such as “Windows-WordPress” or “HTML-WordPress.” This could be confusing to someone who came across the above site. It is especially confusing since it seems that php-WordPress is a similar and competing product to WordPress.

    2) The name of the website, word-press.net, is confusing. Persons looking for WordPress who did not know that it was all one word, could mis-spell the name, and come across the confusing website. Furthermore, that particular name of the site seems like an attempt to capitalize on the fame of the WordPress name/phrase. For example, why wasn’t the site named after the software itself, such as php-word-press.net? [which could still be confusing, but at least it makes more sense because it carries more of a connection to the product.]

    3) If the site is not intended to confuse consumers, why isn’t there a link to the www.remarpro.com site? For example, a disclaimer that reads, “This site is not affiliated with the open-source program WordPress. If you are looking for WordPress, please go to www.remarpro.com.” If the website owner was to provide such a disclaimer or redirect on the site, it would seem more likely that the owner was not trying to confuse consumers or divert consumers from the www.remarpro.com site.

    I’m not a lawyer, but it sure seems that there is sufficient moral justification to make a few changes to the offending website and the name of the product. Just my .02.

    Looks great! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!!

    Aha… thank you!! ??

    Do you think you were the admin to your blog? If so, your pass might be ‘admin’ – if you remember the email address you used originally, you could get a new password emailed to you.

    Do you have access to your database that WP uses? If so you could use a program like CPanel [I think] to look in the tables and find/change them manually.

    HTH!

    Skippy – looks like structuredblogging.com is down – is there another source for the plugin? Thanks!

    Echozone, what you’ve done is great! Can you please share the plugin you used or the code? Pretty please?? Thank you!!!

    Moshu, THANKS!!! ?? That looks really promising! I still need some code help to figure out how to arrange everything correctly, though.

    My guess:

    elseif(is_single(<?php global $post;
    $categories = get_the_category();
    foreach($categories as $category) {
    $cat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
    } ?> = **category#**)) echo('header**category#**');

    [where **category#** would be an actual integer.

    I’m not sure if that will work or not… I need a PHP reference book for this one! ??

    I should also note that the above code, is_category(x) displays the condition only on category archive pages. I am specifically interested in creating a condition that would occur on a single post (is_single) of a particular category.

    [Sorry for the multiple posts here; it’s sorta late and I’m trying to provide as much info on my problem as possible!!] Thanks again for any help!! ??

    OK, I’ve been working on this for literally hours. I honestly feel like I have tried every code snippet in the codex! So, either what I want to do is impossible, or the answer is so simple I’m going to slap myself on the forehead when one of the coding gurus clues me in.

    So, is it even possible to do what I’m thinking? I’m thinking it’s not… which is a bummer! Will mean back to HTML for me… ??
