um . . . the plugin allows you to add the video. No muss, no fuss. Why wouldn’t you want that?

Who put this in as resolved? It isn’t.

Worked for me, too, but my blog at the time was on 1.5. This new one is on 2.0.4.

Mod-security is also a factor creeping into most shared hosting situations, and I’ve gotta wonder if that’s a factor in this technorati claim your blog thing, though I can’t say for sure. I’m currently switching hosts because my host of over 9 years has just added mod security, broken lots of stuff in the process, redefined path from root (oh yeah, THAT was fun!), and created filters SO RIDICULOUS that I can’t even have anything in the wordpress interface that calls a file with the letters “rpc” in the filename. Look at the ping list and you’ll see how frustrating that is!

LOL! It looks like it’s an epidemic!

Mine isn’t claimed yet either. It shows as “pending” and I did manually ping it from the Tech manual ping page, and it shows as “updated” X hours ago. Embedded code is in the footer AND a link in a post, and still no joy.

Put this at the very top of the html file (adjust path to point at your wordpress installation)–

<?php
require_once("wordpress/wp-blog-header.php");
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
?>

Then put this in your side column, where you want the most recent post titles to be listed–

<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?>

You can change that 5 to however many post titles you want to show.

Now, in your .htaccess file in the directory where the html file resides you put–

AddType application/x-httpd-php htm html php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

Voila!

“In the comments it doesn’t have seperate spaces to enter the name, email address and URL, like on almost all other blogs and I don’t see any way to fix that.” If you’re logged in it’s not going to show these things. For someone who isn’t logged in it does.

“And how do you add stuff to the sidebar? Like photos, Sitemeter and stuff?” You get yourself a widgetized theme, and the widgets plugin. There are plenty of themes on the codex that are widgetized.

“Yeah, I know, there are hundreds but none of them are mine.” So you start with a widgetized theme and you customize it yourself using the many docs available.

Blogspot is an awful server, it’s slow as molasses, and pisses visitors off. I’ve got broadband and have to wait for blogspot sites to load *yawn* which means I seldom read blogspot blogs. As an ap, blogger is for amateurs. It doesn’t have nearly the extensibility nor the sheer usability of any of the better blogging software, of which WordPress is one. I also wonder why you’d want to develop a blog to boost someone else’s domain name (blogspot) when you can have your own domain name and monetize for your own self, and using software like wordpress that will give you good Search Engine Position pretty effortlessly. If you want to be labeled in people’s minds as an amateur blogger, then keep doing what you’re doing.

If you really want to have a serious blog, then stop whining and learn how to use wordpress.

The Stu Nicholls CSS Play galleries are easily installed into the css and theme files if you know what you’re doing. If not, then you’ve got the option of either learning xhtml/css/theme construction or paying someone else to do it for you.

“But the second one will also been seen by the googlebot”

That’s funny, I don’t have an html extension on any of my urls and those google spiders just LOVE my site. And almost every page on my site has been indexed by Google within a week of it being added.

Mike, you could have asked me. It would take me three minutes.

Link?

In absense of that all I can suggest is that IE needs more room for everything, and since your main index page is controlled by index.php you need to see what ids and classes are in there and compare them to a page that is working. If you find an id or class that’s not used in a working page that is used in index.php, then it’s likely that id or class is the culprit. Narrow either the element itself or the margins and paddings on it. That MIGHT work.

Try this:

p.centered {
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}

A span is an inline level element, which is why it doesn’t work. You need to use a block level element like p or h3 to get this to work, then simply style the class you apply to it.

HEY MODS! Can you sh!tcan this Prayerwarrior troll???

Did you try the URL?

<?php require('https://www.kiplingcitizen.com/wp-blog-header.php');?>

Have you tried installing a Google Sitemap?

BTW, I’ve found the best permalink structure for SEO is actually /%category%/%postname%

Oh, and excuse me for being blunt, but 5 incoming links is laughable. You need hundreds to start really ranking, and thousands to achieve decent SERPs. You might try suggestions here for search engine marketing;
