In reply to: Wrapping WordPress in a Central HTML Page?If you add the following to your .htaccess file, you can run php on html pages:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
It basically instructs your server to look for and parse or run any php code on files with a .htm or .html extension.

In reply to: Not enough status to postIf you’ve already accessed the database to see your status, try editing it to 10 right in there.
I’ve forgotten WP passwords before and went into the DB and changed them, so changing your status should work just as well.

In reply to: inexplicable commenrt spamyaksox, what the people above mean, is the spammers are accessing the wp-comments-post.php form directly. It’s a classic tactic of spambots. They don’t go to your blog, they just use a crawler or whatever to find wordpress (or blogger, or MT, etc) blogs and trigger the comment forms.
Even though you have comments turned off and stripped the comments link, all the spammers need is the post-id, they trigger the wp-comments-post.php script with that id and it shows up in your moderation list.
One way to fool them for a while is to change the filename of wp-comments-post.php to something else, but they’ll eventually find the script anyway.

In reply to: Technorati Article ContentTechnorati uses a crawler to crawl and index the content of your blog from top to bottom, so anything it finds within the loop it will index in the order it appears in the source code.
That data is then stripped of html tags, hyperlinks recognized and wrapped, visible text displayed in their results, etc. to come up with the listing you see on their site.
Your best choice to control what they display may be to make a minor change to the location of your comments and date, and move them to the bottom of your posts rather than right after the title. It will have a very minor impact on your design and template.

In reply to: issues with RSS and autodiscoveryIt could be because you have the following parsing error in your feed:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

In reply to: little 3 column design helpI just took a look and I guess you’ve fixed the problem. The lines you speak of are showing up fine for me in my Firefox browser and Opera as well.

In reply to: Technorati Article ContentI see the problem.
It’s the way your posts are formatted. For example, you have the title of the post, followed by the comments and date underneath, then your post content.
If you had the comments link and date after your post content Technorati would display the title and content first.

In reply to: Recent post Plugin With Thumbnails??Oh wait, you mean an example of a site using the regular recent posts plugin? If that’s what you were referring to, one of my sites, http://www.bloglogic.net has it in the right side.

In reply to: Recent post Plugin With Thumbnails??No I don’t, but I have seen lots of sites that have similar things, for instance, what this site http://www.gizmag.com/ has going on in the left sidebar, or http://www.sploid.com (those are just examples).
I’d like to do something similar and have it automated with plugins. A recent posts list that includes a thumbnail next to each item.
