Assuming you are using the current WP…

In your admin under BLOGROLL –> MANAGE BLOGROLL click EDIT next to one of your links. Now you are in the edit window. Look for +CATEGORIES (just like when you assign a post to a category). Your only option is Blogroll unless you add a new link category. Once you’ve added a new category you can edit each of your links and change them to that category.

As long as there are no links under the category Blogroll, that word shouldn’t show.

…but at the same time Safari has problems. It was just recently that WordPress fixed the post editor for Safari…. I’m on a Mac and have switched to Firefox. It IS a different experience.

Ronchicago, some advise: if your site has been running for a while be sure to check your stats to see what percentage of your visitors are viewing with Safari — it would be good to know. For me it is under 10%, but I am in an arts industry. I would guess most sites would be lower?

It is fair for you to expect your designer to work around Safari’s quirks, but it would also be fair for him to charge extra for the time and experimenting needed to create those workarounds.

Very daring going without a menu. Elegant.

I like the archive. Always wanted to see the_title() used in a long list like that but couldn’t find the excuse.

Lovely.

Ahh-HAA! Timo, that Wiki article was a real epiphany! I didn’t realize so few requests were happening in HTML, or that they were so basic! Suddenly RSS and exerpts make sense too! Wow, I finally get it! Why streaming is a different protocol…. Even the CHmod settings! Yeah, this helps so much!

I am the square that suddenly grasped the concept of the cube.

I’m sorry. I need more information. Just looking at the webpage doesn’t tell me enough.

What is the tagging system? What did you change (or add) that now makes it italicized? Where did you do it?

Well, if you can find the code that makes it say the word “Tag:”, it will be easy enough to simply add the space after the colon. For instance, UTW has an OPTIONS interface that allows you to add a preface and suffix to the primary tag listing including some formatting rules. Mine says something like:

prefix:
<small><em>filed under: </em>

suffix:
</small>

You can also try using the echo command:
<?php _e('Tags: '); ?>

Since you haven’t directed us to your site or told us which tagging system it is, I can’t tell you anything more.

Does it work if you put the tag cloud in your index.php somewhere inside the loop?

here is a start:

Alan, I can’t say “no” to any of your questions. WordPress seems moldable to many uses if you are willing to delve into its architecture and do a little hacking. There are so many plugins written it would be almost impossible to say “WordPress can’t…”

What you are describing seems to me it can fit into WordPress, but I don’t know Joomla. I suggest you google “wordpress as CMS” or similar and see what others have said on tht topic. I’m about to do the same…

And you cannot scroll UP? The edit page begins at post preview?

ooooh, yes. That would be really great!

Would be nice if there was a corresponding image/icon for the Post also (*hope,hope*)

It should probably be mentioned that these plugins were not meant to run at the same time.

I am not an expert, but these plugins are probably adding a custom field called “keywords” to your posts. This info becomes part of your post’s data even if you disable the plugin and start up another. This allows them to be compatible to other keyword plugins, and probably allows search engines to view the extra data as part of the “meta keyword” tag.

UTW has an OPTIONS area in your admin which allows it to insert the tags into your posts without you needing to hack your theme. For instance: you are allowed to add an in-site comma-separated taglist at the top of your post, and another list of your tags which link to Technorati at the bottom of your post.

Yeah, sometimes the WordPress docs “famous easy 5-step how-tos” are too brief for instruction maniacs like me.

I have a serious case of “but what if” worries. I just meant to reassure you that the world won’t explode if you back-up extra tables (your wordpress won’t explode either, probably). It is only a concern if for some reason you had several different database uses. Whooami’s advice is the best: Backup everything and do it often!

Anything that has a wp- in front of it is part of your site. Chances are if you are not running other database programs EVERYTHING here is part of your wordpress site. Many plugins like galleries are going to add tables to your database, not just stats plugins.

The emphasis on this wording (as I understand it): the fear is you will include tables which are not part of your WordPress site, then you would not be able to restore your WP database without overwriting all the other tables. If you have a mailing list, for example, this might be something you would want to backup seperately.
