In reply to: Need Encouragement…I like the drop down menu’s transparency. How about changing the background color behind the menu boxes so it is not also yellow. Bring in a third color? Maybe a grayish-burgundy? The yellow is fine, just keep the green down like you have. The more green you add to the 255-red will make it more neon-looking and eye irritating. If you want to go even softer add more blue (keep red/green where it is and raise your blue up into the 170’s). Then you’ll get more like a beige – like “#FFF3AD. “

In reply to: Inspired By WordPressHey matt, the weather is cool. I had a weather channel magnet on my old phpBB site. Is that a weather channel feed? or did you have to do something more fancy?

In reply to: redesignedoh… I was thinking to put the “padding” or air in the image. The word may only be 10 px wide but the image could be 20 with 5 extra px of dead space on each side.

In reply to: Multi User Version Installation ErrorDang big post! I’m not a WordPress expert but it looks like you’re just not making a connection to your database correctly. I wrote a little database exerciser script (sitting over at http://www.php4.com). Here it is:
[SNIP – Code removed as link to code is supplied]
You’ll need the correct localhostname, username, password and your DBinstancename. Change those four values in the script at the top. If your database is all good and your access is correct, this script should cruise thru and remedially conduct all of your basic database functions – creating a table, adding some records, query the records, delete a record and drop the table. If all is well this should run straight thru. My first guess is you have a database access or priviledges problem. Just copy the code & paste into a blank doc. Save as a .PHP file and upload to your site. Then just call it up in your browser.

In reply to: redesignedsite is currently left-justified (IE6.0 SP2 on XP). I like the layout and b/w. The header takes up a lot of real estate. The top nav menu (blog, archives, gallery, etc) I think would be cool as images butted together so the mouse cursor doesn’t hop back and forth between pointer and cursor as you course the menu choices. Maybe even mouseover so the words change colors as you go to click on them. just my 2¢.

In reply to: CAN’T GET INTO MY OWN BLOGthat’s pretty cool NM. I’ve never messed with the encoded data. What is MD5 ? some kind of encrypting thing or hashing thing? I presume when you save the new edit, that record reverts back to some new long ugly code for the password? thanks,

In reply to: starting over: new install displays only 1 postpodz – I think you got it. I was using the admin account. I created a non-admin (level 9) user for me and wrote my posts with that. It is assigning the correct categories now and everything is displaying. Thanks for your suggestions.

In reply to: starting over: new install displays only 1 postOK podz – I think I have it figured out. . .
all new posts MUST be initially created in the GENERAL category. Once saved you can re-edit and change the category declaration to the category you want. Then all displays correctly. Christ that was painful. Now I have to rebuild the whole style again. Thanks for your suggestions.

In reply to: Mars Spirit: New posts/categories don’t displaypodz: (phpmyadmin) yes – please bear with me, my learning curve is like 89° straight up lol – I’m in the DB and I can see my three categories in the wp_categories table, parisgv’s comment in the wp_comments table (which I “approved” and is now displaying), and 2 posts in the wp_posts table. The blog is a brand-new install and all I changed was the Martian Spirit style (took the styles.css and saved it as wp-layout.css basically)

In reply to: Mars Spirit: New posts/categories don’t displayTechGnome: nightly? not sure what that is. I did replace wp-layout.css with the styles.css that came with the style. I am also using the stock index.php except I blanked out the “my weblog” title. This:
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>to this:

In reply to: Mars Spirit: New posts/categories don’t displayparisgv: I’ll start a new thread, getting muddy here.
podz: No, the mod page says, “Currently there are no comments to be approved.” Do I have to draft my writes first before “Publishing”?
