In reply to: is this good enough for a release?I tried it on 10.3.9 and FF 2.0.0.14, if I get chance I’ll try it with 10.4 tomorrow and see if there’s any difference, not sure why you need it to redirect to /blog? just set it up in the dashboard to go to main URL.
As for the design that’s very subjective but for me it’s easy on the eyes, nice colours and (almost : ) functional, it does what it does, and I do agree with:
It’s a nice enough looking mod of K2, but it doesn’t strike me as such a radical redesign as to warrant a separate release.
As JS is restricted on my FF when I click the pics they just open on their own in the browser, sometimes usability comes first over design, as has been said before, “doesn’t matter how pretty it is if it doesn’t do what it’s supposed too!” I think the slow loading could be distracting people from the design.
I think the tags look out of place, it’s nice and tidy until you get to the bottom of the sidebar and I’d set up permalinks as it looks better.

In reply to: Comments on Pages e.g. aboutThen something is either wrong with your WP install or the theme as comments are turned on through the WP admin regardless of the theme, only then does it interact with the theme, but from the demo of your theme it looks like it has comments built in, check your files in the WP install.

In reply to: is this good enough for a release?I’d have to agree with StrangeAttractor and slow to load here but it wouldn’t have loaded at all as my FF stops redirects until told otherwise and it doesn’t load JS until told either, there’s a lot of JS in the header! (Not good for SEO I believe) seems a bit heavy!

Maybe you can get an idea from this how to implement.

In reply to: Hosting one place, displaying on domain??Whereabouts is the actual WP install located? (at what level, root or still root/blog)
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Hosting one place, displaying on domain??Yes and make sure your old sub domain isn’t interfering also recheck your ‘index.php’ file so that it’s pointing to the right url as pointed out in the codex for ‘Giving WordPress Its Own Directory’.

In reply to: Changing date….In ‘General’ settings is where you change your time zone, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and there’s a button “Save Changes”

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Hosting one place, displaying on domain??Did you change your
WordPress address (URL)
and
Blog address (URL)
in the WP dashboard before moving ?if not you may have to change it in the mySQL DB or it could be your DNS still waiting to update.
I’ve just moved 2 domains and on both occasions (even after changing settings in dashboard) still had to go into the mySQL DB (wp_options) and change the URL.
Actually the answer is in that codex page under:
‘Variable Sidebar Content’
just change to suit.
As an example for glennk:
<?php // let's generate info appropriate to the page being displayed if (is_home()) (Normal sidebar content here that is shown when on the 'home' page) elseif (is_category('83')) { // we're looking at a single category view, so show the relevant information echo "<ul>"; Your optional content here echo "</ul>"; } ?>
or as a pointer, I use this on my own sidebar:
<?php if(is_home()) { ?> <h2>About</h2> Content here <? } ?> <?php if(is_single()) { ?> <h2>More information</h2> <?php the_meta(); ?> <? } ?>
and put:
<?php endif; ?>
at the end of the sidebar before the last</div>
This shows the ‘About’ info only on the ‘home’ page and if it’s a single page/post shows the ‘meta’ I’ve entered into the custom fields for that page/post under ‘More Information’ in the sidebar.
The example code above I’ve shown may not be spot on but hopefully gives you more of an idea and is possible easier to maintain than the first suggestion.

In reply to: Give me a break!!As you say just don’t use the search widget and put:
<li> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?> </li>
where you want the search or
<div>
or ….That is the easiest way.
