Amazing how many people told me that I need to use ‘sort_column=name’…. Amazing also how many people didn’t read the rest of the entry saying those of us with this problem were already using that. Duh.

Kafkaesqui – Thanks for the file fix…. I still don’t understand why WordPress sorts by ID# by default, I would think *most* bloggers would want to sort by name, or number of entries or something other than ID#…. which is why I said I thought that was dumb.

I’m using <?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&children=0’); ?>

and all it’s producing is an unsorted list… Any thoughts? I hate the fact that we sort categories by ID# by default, how dumb is that?

Actually, been trying with those two test sites… and my site is not accepting pingbacks or trackbacks from those sites, nor is sending pingbacks or trackbacks to that site.

And if you go to https://www.pingomatic.com and do a manual ping… it will give you the confirmation messages from each service it pings… If WordPress is doing its job and sending a ping through pingomatic, I should get error messages when I go back to https://www.pingomatic.com and try again…. OR, I should be able to see **NEW** next to my blog’s entry in my own blogroll (blogrolling.com is one of the services pingomatic pings)….

Yes, but if I follow the posting with a manual ping, I should get error messages that I just pinged the service…. or, I should get a notification on my BlogRoll that my website’s been updated, and I get neither.

As far as <?php trackback_rdf() ?> is that for both inbound and outbound Trackback pings? I’ve been testing this from another blog that also uses Trackback (and has it working), so someone not using it is not the issue.
