Heya aweblogs, thanks for takin’ the time to peek at my blog! Glad you like it!

Keep up the great work! Pretty cool idea you’ve got going…I like the interview style and the showcasing of others work. It’s a nice one-stop to see all sorts of blogs and styles, and the interview piece is a nice compliment of information to the screenshots and links. I’ll be sure to spread the word!

Peace,

Here’s my bane…my timesuck…my page o’ ranting…my blog…my old friend:

https://www.mccarthyclan.net/wordpress/

As someone else said, it’s mine and it’s exactly what I want it to be…a place for me to say what’s on my mind. ?? It may make you cringe, but it’s all me.

macmanx: Nobody’s “spreading fear”, and clearly that wasn’t my intention. Obviously I’m concerned about the security of any software I’m using, as should anyone else be. I’m not reponsible for this person releasing his code into many public forums. I received this information on an easily accessible and very popular security mailing list. Any nefarious “hacker” already has this information, and I obviously have an interest in ensuring that developers here do to. Since it includes CODE WHICH CAN FIX THE PROBLEM, it makes sense to deliver it to those who can do something about it. There’s no link on “www.remarpro.com” to the link you suggest, so perhaps instead of chastising me for “spreading fear”, you should make available a proper and clearly defined mechanism for submitting security vulnerabilities.

Sorry you’re upset about it and implicating ME as one who “spreads fear”. When there’s an exploit already available in the wild, the fear is justified. I asked a question, provided the data, and don’t need to be “scolded” for it, but thanks just the same.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I nearly committed it to memory I’ve read it so many times, but it doesn’t clear up for me. I must just be fated to “not getting it”, because no matter how I slice it, I come up with me having to edit and/or actually create sidebar content for any theme I’d want make available. The following statement from the above link is the most confusing to me:

“Second, it allows users with appropriate permissions to quickly change the layout of the entire site by uploading a new theme and flipping a switch in the admin panel. “

See, I can’t do that…effectively anyhow, and without losing my sidebar content. I’ve modified my “mine” theme to do what I want it to do. I’ve also got 8 or so other themes available, and can select them at any time in the admin panel. However, the only thing that comes over is the DB info (posts). Everything else (sidebar content which used to be in the single “index.php” for the whole site) is still in the localized \mine folder for obvious reasons.

So, again, I’m left wondering how the above statement makes any sense unless you have absolutely nothing but posts on your blog. I’m probably missing something, but my question/issue boils down to this:

With the WP 1.2 “single index.php” model, my sidebar content was available to all the templates, and the above statement about “flipping a theme on” held true, and all the content would show up per those settings. With WP 1.5, it seems that all that content is now specific to a theme, making that “just flip on a theme and volia” statement above just not work for me.

I’m truly not an idiot, I am just having a real hard time understanding the concept. If I could just wrap my head around the concept of “flipping on a theme and having it work” in 1.5, I’d be content. Because I can’t just go “turn on another theme” without losing all my sidebar content, I’m thinking I’m doing something wrong, going in the wrong direction, or painting myself into a corner.

Any enlightenment would be appreciated eternally!

Thanks all,
Kevin

Root, my man!! Thanks a LOT for making Trident happen!!! I love the three column layout, and after much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair trying to do it from scratch or modify some other theme, Trident turned out to be exactly what I needed to start with and learn from!

Big thanks Root, and big thanks to all you folks who really make WP what it is!! You all rock, and deserve HUGE thanks from all!!

Peace,
Kevin

Thank you both for your time, efforts, and quick response! Moshu, if you were here right now I’d buy you a steak dinner! Thanks SO MUCH, you hit it on the head!!

My head is healing already! ??

Thanks again!
Peace,
