fantastic. I think that’ll do it. I’ll give it a shot tomorrow.

thanks for all your help moshu.

This might do the trick: is there a way to call specific posts or Pages?

The Pages feature of WP.

Basically I want this to happen: I want a front page that is absent of title, author, etc – all save the body. However, I would like people to be able to change this from within WordPress. I assume this would be best done with the Pages faeture of WordPress.

So, when they type in the web address it would go straight to this front page.

Furthermore, I would like to have similar “about” and “contact” Pages, also editable but without the title, author, etc.

Finally, of course, your run of the mill blog with all the standard formatting and so on.

does that make sense?

thanks again for the help moshu. much obliged.

Hmm. Maybe I can just create a custom php file for each page that does not use a title.

Er. No wait, that won’t work, because wordpress creates random page #s. Maybe I can just link to those? Hmm. That doesn’t work.

Thanks for the reply moshu.

Are you saying to just change the htaccess to go to home.php instead of index.php?

I would like to be able to leave the title and date and author off of some entries, but have them on pages. In other words, to be able to edit the “about” page via wordpress, but the about page NOT show the title or extra info – only the body.

Great. That did the trick. Many thanks Skippy.

Anyone come up with anything? I haven’t…here’s hoping?

Well, actually I guess it doesn’t does it. The post has a line break between the said: and the following html.
So, how do I make the post not line break the first line so that it lines up with the previous text, but line break every time the user line breaks? Why does wordpress insist on p-ing everything? =)

I would like to have the comments have line breaks. As you can see here:

with autop turned off, there are no line breaks whatsoever. If they are turned on, I get:

Strange, that it would work in the post and not in the comments.

Yeah, the post works fine but the comments don’t at all. I’ve added a test post so you can see what’s happening.

Hmm. Using firefox here, but maybe I’m just CSS-ignorant. I’m just adding p {display:inline} to the css stylesheet right?

Doesn’t change anything, unfortunately. I still get this when enabling autop but have the display:inline:

Dh, you are so not l337.

Someone opened their mouth to speak, but CPH said “
But I love you for it.

Would this be easier if I were using a CSS layout instead of tables Beel? (again, much obliged)

Beel, Kafka. thanks for the help.
Beel: I have just one table that contains all the text, so as I understand it display:inline wouldn’t work?
Kafka.: I think you did, but thanks anyway.
What happens when I have autop enabled is this:

Ah ha. The spoiler plugin broke my comments, for one some strange reason. Disabled it and it works. I’ll comb the code to figure out why it doesn’t work.

Your plugin rocks, but it also broke my comment line breaks. =(
