Well if the link is changed into:

script.php=par=1&par2=2

in your HTML code, that is a good thing. WordPress is making your HTML valid. It will not affect the functionality of the link whatsoever

Ok the Publish URL is the xmlrpc.php uri. (uhh…what?) The xmlrpc file is in the root of your wordpress folder (the main folder)

So, if my blog were https://blog.jalenack.com , then my Publish URL would be https://blog.jalenack.com/xmlrpc.php … that should get you started, I really like that widget as well..

Add this wherever:


#sidebar ul ul li a {
font-size: 1.2em;
}


in style.css

Well, mine was somewhat of an addition to TechGnomes. Same instructions, different code. I’ll just *copy & paste* his instructions with the necessary replacements:

1) Open your index.php file. Look for some code similar to this:
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
This is the start of the WP-Loop.

2) Just BEFORE that line, insert this code:
<?php
$postnum = 1;
$showadsense = 7;
?>

3) find this code:
<?php endforeach; else: ?>
This is the bottom of the loop.

4) Just BEFORE that line, put this:
<?php if ($postnum == $showadsense) { ?> … stick the adsense code here … <?php } $postnum++; ?>

Making the appropriate changes (ie, inserting the adsense code where noted. the $showadsense variable can be changed from ‘7’ to whatever post you want it to display after.

5) Save file.

6) Sit back and enjoy.

Nope, not that I know of…but I was considering developing my own based on this one. Why, is there anything you particularly dislike or something?

Oo that’s a great idea. Unfortunately, it would be impossible without some edits in the core…I may look into it.

sure thing…before the Loop:

$postnum = 1;
$showadsense = 7; // the post you want it to display with

In the loop:

<?php if ($postnum == $showadsense) { **Adsense Code here** } ?>

And right before the end of the loop,
$adsense++;

Yes, as I understand it works like this:

If your blog is non-english (you’ve specified it in the wp-config file), then it will check the words within _e() and see if they have translations available in the language file. _e() is for echoing, and __() is for returning. This all makes it really easy to localize wordpress so that other language users can just plug and play.

So anyways, if your blog is in English and it’s going to stay in English (and you aren’t going to release a theme or something), then it wouldn’t make a lot of sense to use it.

Ok nailed the two IE bugs…its working 100% now. I had to feed IE a solid background to match its poor png rendering, but the color is very nice still…now just the minimizing buttons could use better positioning. So to all you IE users, are you happy with it now?

Update:

New version 0.70! Now runs smileys and links, and some discreet fixes too. Have fun!

I’m working on it in IE, there are just two problems to fix and it’ll be fine.

Right now, it’s not available to download, and may not be for quite awhile as I perfect the theme and fix IE problems and all that…you can probably expect a theme release sometime in June

New version…0.63 a few minor changes…

Accepting feature requests… ??

Eh, it seems that Dashblog is perfect. For a quick tutorial:

Setup for WordPress:

Blog Type = Self-run via BloggerAPI
API URL = https://yourexampleblog.com/xmlrpc.php
User Name = *Your User Name*
Password = *Your Password*
Leave Form Open = *Whatever you desire*

That should get you blogging from your OS X dashboard to your WordPress blog! Woohoo

[edit]
Also, a quick tip: if you want all of your posts to go into a specific category (wordpress’s default takes you to ‘general’), then go to your xmlrpc.php file in your wordpress root, and right near the top (line 13), it allows you to establish a default category. Default is:

$post_default_category = 1;

You can change that by putting changing ‘1’ to the ID of your preferred category. If you don’t know what the ID is, go to Admin Panel > Manage > Categories, and look for the ID.

whoa, that works seamlessly already. It’s great! However, it doesn’t look great and I could make it more WordPress-y. I’ll try porting that to wordpress-only. Nice pointer, macmanx!

exactly! I’ll keep everyone updated from this thread, i guess ??
