Hey, Alchymyth, I did it! WELL, I have replaced “content” with “excerpt” before, but this one seemed not to work right away. Anyway, it’s not a perfect solution (it’s a little difficult to tell that this is a list, not several short blogs), but it’ll do for a while. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks for all of your help.

HAHA. I’m glad there is a positive side. I’ve had quite a time getting this template to work. My client liked it so much, and I don’t know enough (yet) to make a template from scratch. So I kept banging my head against the wall.

??

One of my next tasks: to have the category and archive selection yield a list, not full posts. I thought one needed a search.php file to make this happen, but there isn’t such a file. Any suggestions or links to other sites? I’ve been all over the web the past two days, and will keep at it until I wrangle this.

I am going to get the hang of WordPress under the hood one day!

OMG! Alchymyth, it works like a champ! Thank you SO MUCH!

I’m a PHP neophyte, so it will be great for me to compare these two documents. The author of my template had no intention of widgetizing, so maybe that’s one reason the code was just plain wrong. I don’t know.

In the meantime, I’ve also visited your site for some very helpful information.

Please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you! You’ve totally MADE MY DAY.

Best,

Susan

If anyone has a suggestion, I’d sure appreciate it.

Thanks,

Susan

jnforyou, I don’t understand “how I had my blog url interpreted through browsers.” Can you elaborate?

My flasher header links don’t work, and I need specific info for how to fix them. Thanks to you (or anyone who can help me).

Here’s my problem: The flash header has an absolute link: (example)

https://www.quarterpathinn.com/williamsburg_va_calendar_of_events.html

But when I use kimili (or anything else) to embed the .swf file, i see that the link, once embedded, calls for:

https://www.quarterpathinn.com/blog/williamsburg_va_calendar_of_events.html

In other words, SOMETHING inserts the word “blog” into my URL, and so the link fails.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!

Susan
