That actually looks rather neat. Does it use the code that you posted in the other thread?

Every time you write a page or a post, that option is available to you.

This screenshot will probably explain it better.

If you are truly interested in keeping your blog private, you could password protect those posts that you want to be kept private.

You could have a static page being displayed in the front of the website, and you could give your lecturer a link to your blog, with password protected posts.

Alternatively, you could make the entries private and/or restricted to just some users and request your lecturer to sign in.

Did you ever get around to figuring out what the problem was?

WordPress 2.3 inherently supports a tag cloud.

All you need to do is include the following in the place where you want the tag cloud to appear –

<?php wp_tag_cloud(); ?>

The WP codex page on tag clouds has more information.

Can you try removing the video file and see if it looks alright? Like the other poster said, it could be a width/positioning issue, or it could be because WP sometimes converts embedded object tags into weird things that just mess up the lay out.

Do you have the ability to upload files to your web-host?

Looks very neat, very clean design.

You might want to change the way WP calls pages, though. Using the foo.com/$PAGE format usually tends to be friendlier to search engines than using the foo.com/page_id=N — the same thing goes for categories, tags etc.

Either way, it’s sleek and well done.

Well, I just found this discussion which was extremely useful.

Using the <b>single_tag_title();</b> seemed to do it and it works just fine.

Oh wow, thanks. And I just realized that WP 2.3 had some built-in support for tags that is rather good (not to mention it provides a tag cloud, too).

I guess between Christine’s code and the WP 2.3 tags, UTW is rather redundant.

It looks quite good – but like the other poster said, it is rather bright on my monitor (Dell notebook).

Also, it does not seem to be XHTML compliant, although the text at the bottom says it is?

The header.php file contains code that shows the header, and what follows after it.

For instance, here is a sample header.php:

— stuff at the beginning —

<div id=”header”>

— code and stuff here —

</div>

<div id=”content”>

…

Sounds to me like you are trying to add something between the header and content divs – so, you could either append it to the end of your header div or add another div in between the two.

Go to the images/ directory under the theme that you are using, and you should find the image in question.

For instance, if you are using the default theme, you should find the images directory under the WP directory at wp-content/themes/default/images.

When you find the file you are looking for, rename the file on the server to something else (kubrickbg-backup.jpg) and rename your file to kubrickbg.jpg, and upload your file to that directory.

Also, try ensuring that the images have similar proportions. If an existing background image is 100px and if you use a 1000px image, it would look weird for obvious reasons.

Goodluck.

UTW is extremely easy to use – while it can do a lot, I doubt you will need all of its functionality. More importantly, there is a support forum for UTW, and there is a lot of material out there.

Installing UTW is fairly straightforward – get the plugin, copy it to the plugin directory, activate the plugin, edit a couple of provided files to match your theme and upload the necessary ones to your theme directory. From that point on, you can go to the configuration section of the plugin and customize it to your needs.

I’ve been having the same problem – I recently switched to WordPress, and I seem to have trouble getting the <!–more–> tag working for the pages, but it seems to work just fine for posts.

Searches don’t seem to turn up much, either. Any inputs/ideas appreciated!
