In reply to: 2.0.6 Search/Browse Posts BrokenWell…I don’t use the fancy permalinks, I have nothing in my .htaccess file, and I’m not using any search plugins. Any idea of which WP files I should be poking around in? If I did something, I obviously did it the same way to both blogs…
Thanks for responding.

In reply to: 2.0.6 Search/Browse Posts BrokenI have confirmed that BOTH my blogs have this exact, same problem, BOTH having been upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6. Anyone have an idea?

In reply to: Almost to silly to ask but I can’t figure it out!Often it’s a function of the editor you’re using. For instance take a look at Notepad++ (Google it and you’ll find it quickly). The code is also presented that way in Adobe GoLive as well. Hope this helps.

In reply to: Looking for IE 6 and IE 7 testers for Newspaper site v1 betaIn IE7 the far right “Links” column seems to list all its content out of alignment. It appears that the actualy links are listed mostly outside and to the left of the intended column. Hope this helps.

In reply to: Subscribe Me Plugin: Eliminate HeaderThanks! I was playing around with that, but just couldn’t make it work on my local copy. (I experiment with changes offline before uploading them.) I just did that anyway, uploaded, and the “real” blog handled it correctly. So I guess there are munchkins playing havoc with my local copy. ?? Thanks for the response.

In reply to: Taking a Giant Leap instead of a Small StepI’m still dreaming about this. Yes, the very first word processors were “simple” but we’d never go back to them. Someone at some point is going to make the leap to implement a “universal” publishing platform (not just text, but images, audio, etc.) and leave the other blogging platforms as distant a memory as WordStar, Display Write, XyWrite, Multimate, and VisiWord.
Perhaps for WP 5.0?

In reply to: The Final Frontier…Nice design! I looked at it in IE and once I cursored over the links in the sidebar, the minor formatting issue corrected itself. I don’t think you’re that far off of “perfection”. Hope this helps…

In reply to: My Sitemap Generator Plugin – New VersionAll I can say is “Wow!” and “Thanks!” This is fantastic and I’m really impressed with all the options provided “under the hood” to tweak it now or in the future. Great plugin!

In reply to: Righthand column going to bottomJust wanted to second Yosemite and mention you REALLY need to use (or acquire if you don’t already have) software to reduce the physical file size of the photos. Those photos are over 300K EACH. In the web design world we try to keep whole pages down to under 100K so they’ll load quickly enough for people with slow connections. (I’ve got a healthy DSL connection and it STILL took nearly 2 minutes to download the page.) These photos look like they were transferred straight from a camera at 300dpi or better, and they need to be reduced to 72 or 144dpi, which will look fine on computer displays. Or use an alternative means by which a small thumbnail is loaded first and the larger version only comes up when clicked on.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Any web-editors that can read WordPress?I’m currently using CS and used 6.0 with no problems. My memory going back to 5.0 is flaky, but I’m sure I wasn’t using WP back then.
I’m confused by the “does not read WP” statement. At least from 6.0 on, GL has the ability to read and write pages in PHP. Under my GL menu I find File | New Special | PHP Script to create pages from scratch, and double-clicking pages with a .php ending automatically opens them after first asking me to select a character set. Don’t know whether this helps or hinders. ??

In reply to: Any web-editors that can read WordPress?If you use GoLive (as I do), and you use its features to auto upload/sync file changes, then you need to NOT allow it to automatically updates links in the WP files according to GL’s default. When you add WP files to a GL site, whenever presented with the dialog box to update URL’s within files, just uncheck everything to allow them to remain as they are. Otherwise GL will replace all the internal links with what it THINKS they should be and it becomes a mess. But if you do this simple thing, it’s really nice to have GL’s editing and site management features. Hope this helps.
I just followed the instructions at the link provided in my post above and had no problems. The interesting thing about this approach is you can take your thumb drive to another’s computer (such as a client) and run WP just like a “live” site, viewing and interacting with it through a browser on their machine.
This is what I use (https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/usb/), which puts a “live” site on a USB thumb drive which you can use on whatever computer you plug it into. I do all my experimenting and changes with it before tranferring it to my main site. Hope this helps.
