Thanks, food for thought.

Any stat tracking package can do that for you. Or if you don’t want to manage one yourself, you can just use free services like Sitemeter.

I’m not so sure you got hacked… I should be able to download your css file and look at it, but I can’t. Maybe it’s missing?

Grrreat, thanks. Advanced Category Excluder is wonderful!

Feedburner has an “email this post” type button. I don’t where to get an IM one, sorry.

Try something else. I use this one on my site:
Secure Form Mailer

Could be a lot of things. I would try a different plugin and see what happens. If two or three mailer plugins all don’t work, then you’ll have a better idea of what’s wrong.

Well if you’re looking to simplify the posting process, there are a number of options. It depends on what you need this for: to make your posting easier, allow other people to post, etc.

For easy posting without having to visit your blog, you could try the Deepest Sender Firefox extension (if you have Firefox).

Or you could setup post-via-email in Options->Writing

Or you could install the TDO Mini-Forms plugin from thedeadone.net. That plugin allows you to put a configurable form on a “page” (as in, wordpress-style “Page”) that allows anyone to write posts directly to your blog. You can set those posts to automatically publish, or go to draft status instead. If you just want it for yourself, then password protect the “page”.

That’s correct, but you mentioned that you’re using a wsywig… so I thought maybe you were saving the new index.php to your computer and not to the server.

Okay, let’s put it differently: if you edit the index.php from within wordpress’s built-in theme editor, and save, does it still refuse to show your changes?

Perhaps you’re not saving the new index.php into the right place?

Try wrapping your code with ‹code› and ‹/code›

Let me clarify… that’s usually done in the templates. However, a plugin could do that too.

Take a look through some popular wordpress template sites and eventually you’ll come across several templates that have that date graphic thing.

That’s a template thing, not a plugin.

add this to your css stylesheet:

p {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

If you want the space to be bigger, just change the 10 to whatever.
