We did include a link to the codex as the location of tutorial and helpfiles.

okay, we’ll leave it as it is then.

Well, its not crosswinds.net that is listing it as a cms.

WordPress is one of several items listed under Content Management on the crosswinds’ volunteers’ website.

It does manage content, its just not a content management system.

So, should it be listed as a blog tool, and not a Content Manager tool ?

Thanks

Okay, now I’m more confused.

Its a blogging tool thats also a cms ?

Its mentioned under a section titled ‘Content Management’. Blogger and MovableType is also in that same section.

I find the layout to be easy to read… well, at first the center text sort of blended with the gray background. But my eyes are tired.

Looks good to me.

I like the color scheme and the roof header pic. Easy to read text.

But I notice it still says ‘loading from’ after a full minute. I am on a t-1 as I view it.

Looks good to me.

Loaded in less than a minute across a t-1.

So what is it then ?

I can tell the web site person and they can change it.

You’re welcome.

Oh, its the folks who volunteer their time at the web host https://www.crosswinds.net that recommended wordpress.

Argh, I need more sleep. I forgot to mention where it is we volunteer…

works fairly quickly for me, but I’m on a t-1 at the moment.

hmm. okay tmp isn’t allowed…

but its not logical that tmp inside a domain would be locked… its not the system tmp directory.

Of course, the directory could be named temp or temporary

Those shouldn’t be locked for non-system use.

are you trying to install it in the webhosts tmp directory, or a tmp directory inside your domain ?

As Jinsan said, if its into the webhost’s tmp directory, you wont have access.

hmm. my webhost recently redid some php commands, like chr, on the server side, to block attacks.

one domain owner had reported a problem of someone breaking into his blog, and the web host took down the php server side and fixed chr and a number of others.

sorry, I don’t have a list handy.

For substituting header images, I use irfanview to find out the size of the theme’s original pic.

Then I either load the new header pic in irfanview, cut/crop to the same size, or use ctrl-r and resize it to the same height and width.

save it in a sub-folder on my home computer hard drive, with the filename of the original file.

upload via ftp to over write the old header file.

keep a copy of the old header pic on my home computer in case I want to go back to it.

Use a browser to check my blog site.

nice, clean, easy to read.

updating:

making a list of what plugins are on codex in a nice spreadheet, offline.

I’ll work on getting the list compared to what is already done between the various sites listed above.

I see mention of the plugin contest… I’ll just see what I can get done of the plugins that already exist, and make them into one list. Then work on updating the list on codex.

Maybe someone else will have the time to type up the plugin contest entries after its over.

Later.

Oh, speaking of my eyes… I’m not ready to emulate anyone in ‘ghost in the shell’ anime…
