In reply to: Using an RSS feed with WordPressAs I thought I explained clearly, I had that set to 10 posts. ‘Syndication feeds, Show the most recent 10 posts, For each article, show Full text’.
Now, when I have set ‘Blog pages, Show at most’ to 1 post, I only have 1 post in my feed as well. Do I temporarily change ‘Blog pages, Show at most’ to 10 posts, there are more posts in my feed as well, diappearing as soon as I put it back to 1 post (on the blog, that is, number of entries in the feed, always on 10).
Sounds a tad buggy, no?

In reply to: Using an RSS feed with WordPressIf I change the number of posts to be shown on the frontpage of that notebook, I get more items in my feed. This is NOT something I would want to do though. Anyone any idea as to how I can make the feed behave as expected?

In reply to: Using an RSS feed with WordPressI’m using 1.5-gamma 2005-02-12 for my notebooks, which I just today ‘upgraded’ from MT to Word Press (have been using Word Press for my regular blog for quite a while).
Now while https://blog.morgaine-lefaye.net/feed/ does display 10 posts in the feed, as indicated in the admin panel, I have a problem with my notebooks, as the feed is only displaying 1 single post, e.g. https://notebooks.morgaine-lefaye.net/poetry/feed/.
As for the posts themselves, on my blog I show 5 posts on the frontpage, on the notebooks only 1. Feeds are however both set to 10.
One more thing, for my blog I’m using 1.5-beta-1 2005-01-28.
Anyone any idea as to why the feed for my notebooks is showing only 1 single entry?

In reply to: Date format on front pageYes, you can determine the format in your Word Press admin panel, under Options -> General

In reply to: WTF?I’ve seen a similar message (without the info on wp) when trying to view other people’s blogs sometimes, usually temporarily due to e.g. maintenance (database server) executed by their host.
I wouldn’t start panicking rightaway.

In reply to: What’s the diff between Trackback and Permalink?What you also can do is syndicate only the content of your posts, without the comments. You can even choose between the full post and a summary only.

In reply to: Well it ain’t much…Don’t say it ain’t much, it’s a fine looking blog ?? I have one question: in the image, I can see ‘Eric Ragle’, and I wonder if that’s on purpose or because the letters aren’t the exact same colour as the image.

In reply to: WordPress community on Multiply.comI’ve been thinking about the badge. There defenitely will be a badge. In fact, there are badges now, I’ve posted them on the Multiply community for the taking … (for members only though).

In reply to: WordPress community on Multiply.comThe community is open to everyone. I wouldn’t like to see threads like we’ve seen over here at the forum lately. I can see both sides, I’ve added what I had to say over here, and have to say I was rather sad to see how things concerning the default template to be shipped with the next release of WordPress, deteriorated, and this from both ‘sides’.
In a community, there are, of course, many different opinions and voices, and they all should be heard, but preferably in a friendly way, with constructive criticism if needed. Anyway, that’s my opinion, and I don’t want to discuss this any further. Topic has been closed, we all need to put our arguments aside, and move on.Forum: Everything else WordPress

In reply to: Why using Kubrick on 1.3 is a mistakeWell, perhaps I have no right to speak, as I haven’t been particularly active on this forum, due to an unfortunate lack of time. I have to say this thread is not a pretty sight.
For any upcoming version of Word Press, I would suggest sticking to the k.i.s.s. principle: keep it simple and stupid. No matter what, users are going to break the template, and they’re more likely to break it, if it’s complicated.
I would also suggest educating users, I mean, if they know nothing at all about CSS, and don’t want to know, imho they should opt for e.g. blogger, or stick with the default template. While it’s a really nice thing to help people out, I think there’s no wrong in expecting a little effort from those that ask for help. When I started out, I knew nothing about html, xhtml, css etc. Using oodles of online tutorials, and a lot of trial and error, I managed to get enough knowledge to now have my Word Press blog skinnable (not by using the style switcher plugin but by including headers and footers and checking for that old yummie cookie) and looking decent. I have asked for help, but not after trying numerous times myself first. Once people are spoilt, they will show no effort to try and figure things out for themselves.
In ExpressionEngine, there are about 7 default templates to choose from, perhaps that would be a good idea for Word Press as well. During install, people get to pick a number for the template they wish to use. They get to see samples on the site, and if I remember well, there are also samples in the user guide that ships with the product.
I think it’s not strange that users expect a default template to be technically flawless, and that should be aimed for. As for esthetics, people’s tastes differ and always will. I like the idea gloddy came up with, although I don’t know whether such a thing would be feasible.
Anyway, just my two cents … now, with the full potential of my lack of PHP knowledge, it’s back to trying to recreate the the full calendar I had with MT, this time in Word Press …

In reply to: Rubric theme (CSS) within a frame and IE disasterWhen I look at https://www.luken.org/ in Firefox, I get a horizontal scrollbar. IE indeed is messed up, and it keeps on loading. It never fully loads. When I leave it alone for a while, the layout gets back to normal, untill I scroll again.
As for the solution? I strongly suggest a no frames design. Yeah, I know, that’s not much of a solution … In the past I’ve used frames, but now it’s a big no-go as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully someone else will help you out.
