add an “echo” before “get_post_meta”:

<div class="categoryimage"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
rel="category tag" title="Image of '<?php the_title(); ?>'">
<img src="<?php ECHO get_post_meta($post->ID, "postimage", true); ?>"
alt="Post Image" class="catimage" /></a></div>

Check out Garrett’s page link manager plugin — it hooks into the wp_list_pages function.

You should clarify what implementation of the plugin caused your problems.

It works fine with most lightbox-like pop-up scripts. The only one I have seen not work out of the box is thickbox, and there’s a short workaround for that. If you’re having problems with thickbox, try highslide or another script listed on the plugin’s options page.

For being a free, open source gallery, I think it’s great!

Tacoen’s custom field query plugin might work for points 2 and 3 in your original post.

If you’re going to be putting the same exact text in the same exact place for posts in the same exact category each day, my suggestion is to just code it into your theme template.

But, if you are going to have variability on where, when, and what the block of text is, then I’d try one of these plugins:

Urban Giraffe’s sniplets »

Levi’s tags »

I haven’t used either plugin, but U.G.’s are always great.

I’m all for hacking core code, but maybe this plugin will be a smarter solution:

Geeky Weekly’s custom category order plugin

How about a link to your page, isayhello?
