Thanks, Beel. ??
I’ve got it going with the whole date and time, but I’m a little fuzzy on (strtotime).
I know in php I want the date to be (D g:ia) but I’m unclear where I’m supposed to put that to make it work. Is (strtotime) something completely different?

It depends on whether you’re using cPanel or Plesk.
I’ve always used Plesk, and have just moved to a new host using cPanel – so I managed to get my database imported and everything in there using phpmyadmin, only to have this same problem. The database was there, and the user was there; trouble was, they weren’t associated with eachother!
Turns out in cPanel you have to explicitly add a user to the database… in Plesk you had to be inside the database before you could even add a user, so it sort of did this by itself.

It’s not the illusion of exclusivity that makes me not want to go within a hundred miles of a gmail account – it’s that they are pre-reading my email and targeting advertisements based on what they see. It’s a dangerous precedent.

Add the fact that they keep your emails even after you delete them and it’s something that I want nothing to do with – either using an account myself or even emailing someone who has one. No thanks.

Upload in gzip. Check. ??
I tell you… there isn’t a container big enough to fit all the crap I don’t know. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much! I had a similar archive listing thing going on before I switched to WP that showed only titles and dates.

Anybody know where this plugin is?

I just did this last night. Used the phpmyadmin faq, down at 6.4 and 6.5.
I followed the instructions, downloaded the gzip’d file to my hard drive (which turned out to be a dumb thing since after that I just had to unzip it and upload the unzipped file). When I unzipped it, it asked me what sort of file I wanted it to be and I put .sql on the end.
Then I deleted every single table in the database. You probably want to skip that step but I wanted to see if the restore would work. ??
Then uploaded it using those instructions and it did it’s thing and recreated the database just like it was.
Pretty nifty, really. I’m moving to a new host this week so I wanted to make sure it goes smoothly.
Good luck!

I don’t know what it’s supposed to look like, but it looks ok in Opera – I mean, I can read it and nothing is laying on top of anything else as far as I can see. I’d be happy to put a pic up of it, but I haven’t quite figured out the whole uploading images thing yet since I just migrated from MT. ??

I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

Techgnome – that’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for! I’ve got one main blog and 7 sub-blogs off it – the sub-blogs are like categories. One for recipes, one for riddles, one for hacks and code bits, one for NaNoWriMo, etc. I have each of these set up as separate blogs in MT because that was the only way I knew to make the sites look completely different from my main site. (They used to look different – they don’t look different now because I quit reinstalling MT 3.0 right in the middle this past weekend and switched to WP. Smartest thing I ever did.)
I read on here somewhere I can exclude certain cats from appearing on the main page, and so combined with the separate style sheets for each cat, that makes the multiple blog option I was looking for. And it makes it way easier than MT because even though you could access all your blogs from one main page, it’s still a completely separate interface in order to post to each one. If I wanted to post to my main site I’d have to go in there and do it, and then if I wanted to post a recipe I’d have to go up out of the main blog and down into the recipe blog. Tedious.
I’ve got a couple questions:
1. With your code above and the if-else statement, I’m assuming I can extend that and make as many different stylesheets for as many different categories as I want? I can go if—else if—else if—else, right?
2. Is there a way, with the levels of access for my users, to set it up so like User#3 can only post to Category#1?
3. Is there a way to set up the category page so that it would only show like the last 5 entries to that category? And then have the full listing of everything in that category somewhere else? Either that or I guess paginate would work for that also.
Man, this is awesome. ??

Holy COW… my first attempt at doing anything in phpmyadmin and it worked perfectly!
I am flat-out unable to articulate how thrilled I am with WP. Whee!

Wonderful!
Had to chop it up a bit further because anything over 1mg for the import file made it crap out again. This is actually a good thing though – as most of the 1500 entries are stupid, I think I’ll just take out a “best of” segment and then trash the rest.
Thanks much for the assistance, I appreciate it.

That’s almost exactly what I’m getting:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 131072 bytes) in /path-to/wordpress/wp-admin/import-mt.php on line 66
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 21 bytes) in Unknown on line 0
The import file is huge – 2.90mb – because the site is huge and stuffed with idiotic pictures. ?? Here is the site I’m trying to import. I already imported one of my sub-blogs into my WP installation and it went fine, but it only had 5 entries and like 30 comments.
Any ideas on what to do with this? I’d be happy to divide the thing up into smaller chunks if that would help any. ??
