In reply to: How to Integrate Flash Widget Directly into Text of Post?The easiest way I can think of to do this would be to add a floating div with the widget inside it like so:
<div style="float: left;">EMBEDCODEHERE</div>
Obviously you could float it right too. Most WordPress themes also support class=”alignleft” or class=”alignright” if you’d rather try that instead of fiddling with style=””

In reply to: Captcha on blog CreationI’m assuming because you said spam BLOGS that you’re using WordPress MU. In that case, yay you, there’s a plugin! It’s called WPMU-Signup-CAPTCHA:
Yep! There are a few but the one we usually recommend on the show is called Pagebar2. It’s in the official repository so just do a quick search.
And btw- no bumping… thanks ??

In reply to: Twitter Tools not adding tags to tweetsAs far as I know, that feature isn’t part of Twitter Tools, though, of course, I’m not Alex. But someone really should get on that, shouldn’t they. Cool feature idea.

In reply to: HELP!! I have trouble downloading WordPress.Oop- you’re right. Anyway- it’s always available in compressed form. I should have phrased that better- the main download button always goes straight to a .zip. Make sure that’s the version you’re downloading. Thanks for the correction, whooami!

In reply to: How do you make pages 1 2 3…460If that was all that was posted, I’d totally understand. However, questions are being answered- it’s not like we’re spamming saying COMEHEREBUY. Also, I don’t see how that’s any different from someone else offering to help people out via email if they had any other questions… which they do quite often… and finally, this thread is getting to the point where it’s just taking up space and is becoming quite a waste of both of our time, and the time of folks reading this. I give it a spiritual “lock”- at least personally anyway. I’ll leave the rest to the mods ??

In reply to: Permalinks – does index.php/ hurt SEO?The thing with SEO urls is that search engines like the post titles to be in there (for instance top-8-ways-to-bake-yummy-cookies). I haven’t heard anything bad about having index.php in there- it’s just another piece of the URL like https:// and “.com” that doesn’t really affect anything at all. It might make a LITTLE bit of a difference, but it’s nothing to fret over.
This probably isn’t the forum for this post btw- this is support specifically for WordPress- I would have stuck it in miscellaneous.

In reply to: How do you make pages 1 2 3…460Um… yeah… no. Not really. But I guess I could be if I started yelling at you to buy my new product coupon hi hello you want free stuff click here here click here.
But if you’re referring to the sig- that’s gone. Sorry about that ??

In reply to: Redirect from another domainWhat you’ll need to do is set up what’s called “Domain Aliasing” on your hosting account- which, of course, depends on whether or not your host offers it. Check with them, and then you can alias domainb.com to go to whatever directory you need it to go to on your server.

In reply to: BG Image offcentered only in IE7Unfortunately there’s no real way to figure it out without getting down and dirty with the theme code- Microsoft’s annoying in that they feel that “standards aren’t for us so we can basically make our browser display things however we want it to and pretty much screw developers and make them hate us.”
However, if you can figure out something to do with CSS to fix the problem in that browser, it’s not too hard to work out. The easiest thing I can think of is to do something like this in your header.php file:
<?php if(is_single()) { ?>
<!–[if IE 7]>
Magic CSS that fixes the problem, applied only if this is a single post page and if it’s IE 7
<![endif]–>
<?php } ?>That’s the set of “comparison operators” (yay jargon) you need to apply any styles necessary to fix it.

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.8.1 and Can Not LoginUsually you won’t get a blank white page on login (obviously), so I’m thinking the problem is probably a missing or corrupt wp-login.php file- log into your server by FTP and see if that file’s there. If not, or even if it is, try downloading 2.8.1 from the www.remarpro.com homepage and reuploading that file to see if that fixes the problem.

In reply to: Linking the first and last post with next/previous linkI don’t know if there’s an easy fix with the built in WordPress pagination because that’s designed and hardwired to simply make pages in either forwards or backwards order- not loop around.
However, there’s a plugin called Pagebar2 that we’ve talked about on the podcast before (it’s in the repository so just do a quick search) that includes, in addition to “prettier” and more functional pagination navigation (that’s a fun phrase), and includes First and Last post links no matter where you are. Give that a try, and let us know how it works out for ya!
