Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Hyperlink Overflow in my PostsYou could assign a div to your hyperlinks and create a CSS class that has the overflow attribute set to hidden.
That said, I have to agree with what Ivovic says – just why do you feel the need to paste the whole URL?
Help create a semantic friendly web. For instance, you could simply say –
“…here is a copy of the paper from NIH.”
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Lightbox just spins, doesn’t load imageA little more information would be helpful, including (preferably) links to where you are having the problems.

In reply to: Coffee/barista blogEven if you use Flickr, you can use the smaller versions of your pictures.
For instance, check out the medium and thumbnail versions of this picture.

In reply to: Posts from the same authorAlso, the function
<?php the_author(); ?>
shows the current author.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posts from the same authorThe following function will display the list of authors –
<?php list_authors(); ?>
It comes with several options, which can be found on the Codex page for author list.

In reply to: WordPress administration interface loading slow (10-12 secs)Well, glad to hear that things are working for both of you. ??

In reply to: WordPress administration interface loading slow (10-12 secs)Did you try increasing the memory available to PHP? The fact that you are having multiple installs could potentially contribute to that.

In reply to: WordPress administration interface loading slow (10-12 secs)Seems to work fine for me. From what I could tell, the query to do that in my theme is this:
<?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds.
It could be that your WP install is flaky.

In reply to: Only 45 Tags allowed?Yes – the link that MichaelH has given above says how to do it rather clearly.
<?php wp_tag_cloud('number=N'); ?>
where N is the number of tags you want to display.

In reply to: WordPress administration interface loading slow (10-12 secs)It could be one of many things.
1. Your PHP install is stalled for memory by the various instances of WP. This could be fixed by editing the PHP configuration settings to allocate more memory.
2. Your DB queries could be slow, and that could be causing the problem. Although, given that your WP admin page is loading slowly, I’m uncertain if this could be the cause.
3. Something else that I have completely missed. ??

In reply to: NO API keys on PROFILESteps to getting an API key –
1. Get a WordPress.com account
2. Go to My Account (seen on the top left) -> Global Dashboard -> Profile.
3. You can see your API keys listed on the top of that page. It would say something like –Your WordPress.com API key is: XXXXXX. Don’t share your API key, it’s like a password.
As far as your second question is concerned, make sure that there are no sub-directories. WP does not like it if you have plugins/$plugin/$plugin – it just needs it to be plugins/$plugin. More often than not, I’ve found that to be the source of the problem.
And no, it is unlikely that there is a connection between those plugins and Askimet.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: <!–more–> and comment don’t works!If you go to Presentation -> Theme Editor and click on your current theme, you will see something on the right hand side (with a list of files) called either “Single Post” or “single.php” or something along those lines.
Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Personal BlogIt’s simple and clean, but you might want to make the mouseovers (on the left) a little lighter. That shade of pink against the gray makes it harder to read.
Also, a comment preview would be rather useful, as well.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Switching ThemesYou don’t necessarily lose content, however depending on your theme, all your content may not be displayed.
For instance, if you had a theme that did not display pages but only displayed blog entries, then your pages still remain in the database, but they will not be displayed.
So, what would be displayed would be dependent on your theme of choice.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: wp used as a splogging toolI do not know to what extent these guys would care, but you could try using robots.txt to block their content aggregator (assuming that’s where they are getting it from, of course).
Outside of that, I doubt there’s anything much we can do about sites like those.
