I just looked at your site. The link in your Navigation section looks fine, no matter what page I’m looking at. Nothing disappears. Perhaps screenshots with annotations?

That aside- As far as I can tell from your description of the problem, this is not an Exhibit issue. If you read the notes above more carefully, you’ll see that Exhibit does not include Previous/Next links — it is a feature request.

I’m not sure what issues you have with WordPress, since it seems like what you’re doing is working, but I can’t help but feel that you’re unfairly targeting Exhibit with them in this case. May I suggest that you follow up on your other thread if you still have issues.

Do you want to show no thumbnails on your posts at all? Add the nothumbs comment to your post content:

<!--nothumbs-->

That’s probably not a good idea. Generally speking, you shouldn’t use EzStatic to insert WordPress core files into your layout.

You could create a new form that has the same fields as wp-login.php that posts to wp-login.php, and then include that via EzStatic, but not the actual login file.

In 1.2.x there is a file in the blog root, wp-comments-popup.php.
In 1.5 there is a file in the theme directory (usually), comments-popup.php. If it’s not there, check one of the default themes (“Default” or “Classic”).

These files are the popup comment page.

If you have already figured out how to size the popup window, you might do better using CSS to add a logo to the top of the comment popup. The selector “.commentspopup #header” will style the header at the top of the page that normally contains the blog name. Set the width, height, and background properties to suit the logo, and add a text-indent: -2000px to get rid of the text.

I could do most of what you want on 1.5, but I’m not sure if it will work on 1.2.2. I’ll post my method anyway, just in case no other solution presents itself.

I would add my Limit Categories plugin, which limits the categories that lower level users can post to.

With that plugin installed, connect it to the category that you’ll use for your linklog.

Edit your page to remove the linklog category from the main loop. Add a new loop in your sidebar (or wherever) for displaying only posts from the linklog category.

You can get the feed for an individual category like so:
http://example.com/categories/cat_name/feed

The two things you don’t get from this are:

• Simplified posting form
• Dedicated monthly linklog archives

However, there are a couple cheesy workarounds for those.

First, you can have your linklog authors only use the “Press It!” bookmarklet, which isn’t as verbose as the regular form.

Second, you can use that archives.php file that’s been floating around that lets you filter your archives by categories. I provide a modified version for use with EzStatic on my hacks page (linked above).

It’s not exactly what you want, but it’s getting there.

I use Bloglet for this. Bloglet is nice because it lets your readers condense all of their blog reading into a single email instead of individual emails for each post on each blog.

Every day, you get an email with the previous day’s posts, which Bloglet pulls down from your RDF feed. (Be sure to give them the RDF feed and not the RSS2.0 feed!) It’s not great if you want to send out everything immediately, but I’m satisfied with daily digests going to my email readers, and it’s an easier external solution than maintaining a plugin and having my own server send out all that mail.

< !--exhibit-thumbs:*-*--> where the *s are thumbnail numbers.

If this does turn thumbnails back on at the bottom, it probably shouldn't huh? Try putting < !–nothumbs–>` in the post also.

Wow, that Exhibit guy writes crappy code. He should be drawn and quartered. Gah!
