I fail to see how this is a bug. To me, advanced editing would require more resources, one of them being a saved post to work off. How does this effect WP’s performance? I think this is one of those problems that really doesn’t hurt much, yet would take many hours to fix (which would increase the chance of new bugs).

LOL “Keep kicking it until it’s consistent enough.” Sadly that’s the hardest part. Here’s how I planned on defining the id:
<pre>$purp_id = 'id-'.the_ID().'-p-'.$j;</pre>
That variable $j was just an incrementing number for each block. Pretty straight-forward.
My question: where does WP insert the paragraph tags. This is driving me nuts as the my-hacks file recieves new-lines, yet WP outputs paragraphs. my-hacks is the last step, no?

Looking at your site, you want no sidebar? Just entries all the way across? Okay… In your css, look for #content and change this line margin: 30px 13em 0 3em; to this margin: 30px 3em 0 3em;.
At least I think that’s what you want

Matt is totally right. If you have multiple posters, then there is nothing holding them back with this hack. But if it’s just you, or you don’t have to worry about potential author trouble, then this would work.
But you also lose security protecting your weblog from yourself. If you don’t write safe code (like taking input from a user without checking it for quirks/hacks) then that could bring your post, entire weblog, or maybe even server down. This is the reference to Pandora’s Box… ??
WordPress itself is quite secure. This doesn’t make it any less secure, but offers that possibility. Just make sure you know what you’re doing and question every line of code.

You might want to use the encoder when posting html/xml/data in general.

The height seems to be a bug in some browsers. I’m guessing that when it adds the horizontal scrollbar, it increases the vertical’s dimension. But it doesn’t recalculate the dimension, because of overflow: auto; so we now see two scroll bars where we shoul have only one.
Gotta love web browsers.

Yes… you probably are using mod_rewrite. What it is doing is taking all your requests for “/” and rewriting them to “/index.php?var1=this&var2=that”
I would have to see the rules to diagnose the problem. I’m not that good at figuring it out yet.

Ah… Relative and absolute linking always drives me insane. I must make that mistake 42 times a day it seems.

The moblog is very impressive. You wouldn’t by chance have any notes posted somewhere about it’s development/design? ??

Sadly, this isn’t a mod-rewrite problem but a php problem. To fix this you would have to locate the function adding those hyphens and correct that. I searched for a few minutes but couldn’t find anything.
Let me say that I do understand what you’re saying. When I fired up WP for the first time I wanted underscores too. But because I didn’t have to worry about maintaining permalinks and I remember reading somewhere that google apparently prefers hyphens to underscores, I let it go.
But could I suggest that this be added to WP’s permalink settings? This could be very important for migrating weblogs.

Well can I ask what logic justifies using ? To me using in this manner is no better than using <i> because we are not emphasizing. We are simply italicizing like your good little MLA handbooks said we should back in Composition 101 (or whatever).
If I said I had just finished reading Cat’s Cradle*, I just referenced that book. It doesn’t matter if I quote it or not, the book has been referenced. Now I wouldn’t emphasize the title, that doesn’t make sense in this case (say it out loud, it just sounds silly). So I look in the w3c spec and see that <cite> is used to reference.
I respect the w3c’s standards, and see using just as offensive to semantic markup as <i> in this case. And sorry for ranting so much for this. This reply isn’t in response to anyone’s comment in particular; just the first time I’ve had caffeine in me today. ??
* Awesome book, but was used merely because this discussion board does not support <cite>.

So we should agree to disagree? Probably a good idea. ??
But I was under the impression that referencing and mentioning were synonyms. ??

But we’re not emphasizing, we’re citing. And cite is not just an attribute, it’s also an inline markup tag.
From the w3c source: “Contains a citation or a reference to other sources.”
You are referencing the Lord of the Rings, are you not? In the w3c’s example they use <cite> twice, once with a quote and again with a reference. The only reason why we use is because we want italics, which is a visible cue left over from print.

Just to be sure I understand what you want: the left hand column to be adjacent to the right and for them to both be equal length (running all the way down the page)?
Honestly, this can be kinda difficult to pull off. I recommend ALA’s response: Faux Columns. It’s what I use on my site and is pretty easy to set up.

Aww shucks…
