Technorati pulls tags from your Atom feed. If it doesn’t show up as a category or a rel="tag" link in your feed, then it won’t show up in Technorati’s tag pages.

Tags don’t even need to be in the body of your post for them to be indexed by Technorati — they just have to show up in your Atom feed. You can check out my keywords plugin for a more flexible approach to tagging.

Except that the_title() echoes its output by default… To capture the value of the title in the variable $rr try:

<?php $rr = '<p class="centerP"><a href="foo.com" rel="bookmark" title="'. the_title('', '', false) . '">[Read More],</a>'; ?>

No problem, happy to help.

McMike’s suggestion is close but will actually end up creating:
,mike
,mike, jack
etc.

What you want to do is (with the original code) remove the two snippets that are adding the commas: . ', '

Then add the following line just below the foreach statement:
if (!empty($output)) $output .= ', ';

Instructions on the plugin page have been updated.

When you extract the .zip file with WinZip make sure that you select the “Use Folder Names” option.

Whoops, Codex is down but Podz has an upgrade tutorial on his site:
https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/upgrade/

It explains how to convert your site to use themes – pretty straightforward.

Ok, that’s a good start! Your install is looking for wp-comments.php which no longer exists in 1.5. Have you looked on https://codex.www.ads-software.com for instructions on how to migrate?

georgianlady, it looks like there is no option to change this behaviour (even with a plugin). My only suggestion would be to change line 383 of wp-includes/template-functions-post.php to use “date” instead of “gmdate”. Warning: this changes your WP code and will be lost when you upgrade to a later version.

Very strange – I just checked your site, blank on the URL you gave (not even a 404). Can see your wp-login screen, so that’s ok. Surfed to your wp-contents directory and noticed that you don’t have a themes subdir! You need this for WP to load your theme (or the default if yours isn’t setup).

If you’re not using themes, you should use your old index.php instead of the new one (I think)…

Make sure you run the upgrade.php script (in your wp-admin folder I think). It will make sure that the database has all proper fields set up. This one got me too…

The UTC time is from your server. If it’s time is wrong, then you’ll need to get your hosting provider correct it.

This happened to me too (upgrading from a 1.5-beta). You need to use the new index.php if you’re already using themes. WP1.5 needs to see:
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
before including wp-blog-header.php

I hate that you can’t edit the date too, so I wrote a simple plugin for it: https://www.vapourtrails.ca/wp-plugins
