I don’t know what changed, but I applied the latest WP update last night (I know, I’m a week late. I’m cat sitting for some vacationing friends and this past week has crazy) and when I checked my latest posts in Thunderbird I have them theme free. Sweet.

I guess I may need to either report s bug or vote for one. Being on the east coast of the US I realized tonight that I needed to address my time zone on my blog after writing a post to be published at 9:10 PM EDT and finding it due for publication in almost an hour rather than having been just published.

I tried setting my offset to -4, but I’m not seeing any change in the time on my blog. Has anyone found a way of getting this to work?

I made that change and got no change in Thunderbird. I had that setting before and I think I changed it to try to get the feed showing differently. At his point I think I’ll simply consider it a feature of the RSS2 feed and not worry about it any more. Thanks for trying everyone.

What’s next?

Actually my blog is already set to Summary and I’m getting the full page (template and all). Latest check was with Thunderbird/2.0pre, build ID 2007030903.

Hmmm. When I upgraded to 2.1 I blew away my wp-admin folder plus I moved to my new server I made a point of putting everything up. And I hope it’s not just an IIS issue. I made a point of getting Linux hosting. I’ll double check that I have everything uploaded again though.

I haven’t forgotten to make screenies, I’ve just been busy the last few days between trying to blog things, getting my online stores updated and just pain old household junk. I’ll try to get screenshots posted in a couple of days, although I may wait until my new servers goes online which could delay the posting to the end of next week.

When you click on one of the posts to read it, you get it with the full display, headers, sidebars and all. What I’m wanting to be able to do is let people see the posts i plain text. I’ll see about making some screenshots later this afternoon to show you what I’m thinking of.

The site is the one on my profile, https://www.ydwbog.com. The personalizations I made to the theme are actually just some color changes and the addition of a date block rather than the spelled out date. I just puled up an article in Thunderbird 2.0pre and I got the whole theme, not just the text. I know it’s not a Tbird issue because the feed for Aaron Brazell’s blog comes through as plain text.

I’m definitely interested in what you guys think of the, I’m currently using wasabi’s, but I’m noticing it’s giving posts that have nothing to do with the current post other than the fact that I wrote it. But then I write 98% of the posts on my blog so this is getting pretty useless.

One thing I’m noticing about Semiologic’s plugins is that there’s little to no documentation, which makes me hesitant to use them. Sorry, Semiologic, but with as many plugins as you write I’d really expect the documentation to be better.

UPDATE: At first glance Semilogic’s plugin gives a little better results, although I am seeing a few posts that I can’t tell at first glance how they’re related.

Thanks, Les. That was the culprit. I didn’t even think to check that.

I had been using an ad plugin to rotate ads but went with hard coding to try and get them to show up. And it turns out that the ads show up in IE but not Firefox. This is so not good, especially since I pimp Firefox so heavily. What the hell could be hiding the ads in a particular browser?

Sorry, it’s the main page of my blog. The code in question should be at the very top of the center section, before the WP loop.

The developer, Owen Winkler, has run into this before, and addresses it in his support forum. I hope that helps.

Do you have JavaScript disabled? That may be your culprit. I’ve never had a problem with any of the sidebar boxes in any version of Firefox, but then I do allow JavaScript. You may want to allow it temporarily while you blog.

Are you running WP2? It’s at the bottom of the Post Status box, which you may need to expand so you can see it.
