Hey, I’m still seeing it non-styled in Firefox. I think you need to correct your CSS line (like Sushubh said):
@import url( https://carthik.net/wp-style//style.css );
should be:
@import url( https://carthik.net/wp-style/style.css );

Cool site, don’t be so hard on yourself – it’s a very nice design. However, as someone else pointed out, the date doesn’t have any style under Firefox. Didn’t have a chance to check out why, but maybe I’ll look later.
Oh yeah, and kudos for having such a long running blog!

@sushubh – <br> breaks validation because it is not valid. Empty elements should have a closing slash included like so:
.

Well, personally I wasn’t talking about rating the blogs, simply pointing out some interesting sites that use WordPress. Blogger simply has some links that they list, while MT also has an archive that includes a little commentary on the site. I’m not convinced that it should be a weekly thing, or whatever, but it would be a nice way to show off WP to prospective downloaders, inspire current users, and just plain add to the community.
This has been done to a very small extent in the DevBlog before when they mentioned kitta.net when it was up for an award and that other site that was renting houses during the Super Bowl. This would merely be a more regular occurance of that. It might really help people see the power of WP when they see what it looks like on something like binarybonsai.com. But, it’s really up to you guys. I’m more than willing to do it, but only if the developers really want it/think it’s a good idea.

Maybe a non-dev could do this for them. I’ll say that I am more than willing to help out here, and I could easily spend some time each week taking a look through various blogs and writing a quick little synopsis of why it was picked, etc. If you guys (by you guys I mean Matt, Mike, Dougal, Alex, etc.) would like to put something like this on the site, I volunteer my services. Let me know what you think.
P.S.(Chances are, at least the first few would simply be the regulars, devs, etc. but it would get the ball rolling.)

After all of the server changes I’ve made over the past couple of months, I forgot to put the webring code back on my main pages (whoops!). Obviously I ended up being removed. Should I re-register or do you re-activate old accounts? I only ask because I liked being #13 ??

If anything I would say that 755 is just unneccessary for anything except for the directories. None of the WordPress files need to be executable, so none of them should have odd numbers (Note: directories do need to be executable for users to go into them, so they do need to be 755). Most other files should be 644, as far as I can tell. That simply means that you can read/write to them but everybody else can only read. Oh yeah, feel free to correct me if I’m missing anything.

Very cool thread here, definitely nice to see the community becoming more… communal? Anywho, I originally named my blog indieb0i’s rantings because that’s my nick and that’s basically what I was doing. But rantings is used all over the web, so I got bored with it. I finally just settled on using my domain name neverhood.net. I got that name a while back based on the game of the same name. I chose .net partly because I believe in the whole .com should be for businesses and the game developers who made the original Neverhood owned it ?? . I liked the sound of the word, and originally just used it as a workgroup for my friends back in college. It then moved to a website where I had lots of plans to create a community of sorts (hence, a ‘hood), but it’s kinda just me at this point babbling from time to time. I’m now slowly working on putting up things for friends (the gallery is largely for bands that I hang out with), so the whole idea of a community isn’t dead yet.
As a side note, Nuclear Moose sounds cool, so I’d just stick with that. I love the name Binary Bonsai, and thanks for the full explanation. And don’t feel bad Cena, I feel like a tool for not having gotten the whole “photomatt” thing either ?? . It’s nice to read these stories and I look forward to checking out everybody’s sites.

Just answered my own question. Installed .72 gold, turned register_globals Off, restarted Apahce, and… it works!

Just thought I’d bump this topic. I’ve started splitting my entries more frequently and thought maybe you could slip it in before .72 goes gold.
Whoops, just went gold… oh well, maybe for the next one…

Hey, cool. I forgot all about this until recently. I just changed register_globals to On, restarted Apache and it’s working now! Thanks Mike! As far as the change you committed, does that mean that the next release will no longer require register_globals to be On for this to work? Not a big deal, just want to know if I can turn it back Off once .72 is released. Once again, thanks and keep up the good work!

Well, it’s not really a big deal right now (more of a bewilderment and inconvenience). I put my site back the way it is on the latest MySQL and everything else is running just fine. If you haven’t had a report of this from anyone else, it might just be something screwy with my box and I’ll investigate it more later (perhaps when 0.72 comes out officially). If you do find anyone else with this problem and want to troubleshoot it, I’d be more than willing to set up an account on my server for you to take a look at an install on it. For now, keep up the good work.

dougal – It’s not my implementation, it’s actually a problem on the Link Categories page. When I adjust the settings there, they do not save to the database.
Mike – I can create links and adjust them like normal. I can also create new link categories with any settings I want, however once they are created I cannot change the settings without manually editting the database. And everything else works just perfectly (I really love what you guys have done, this problem just baffles me)
Just to update you on what I’ve tried (I’ve also re-installed WordPress from scratch for each of these):

• Downgraded to mysql 3.23.56 RPMs from Red Hat.
• Explicitly granted all privileges to my user for that specific table.
• Used the root user for the database connection for WP.

I think that’s everything – I’ve used the beta version linked to on the DevBlog, do you think what’s in CVS might be better?

I’m not sure what you mean by the value. After a fresh install it shows the default "1 General N Y Y Y Y name N ..." listing. If I change something like sort method to ID, the same line appears after saving. I’ve tried going into the database, and I can manually change the values and they appear correctly on the web, but not from that page itself. I could e-mail you the admin password for my test site (because it doesn’t matter, and I’ll be deleting it anyway) so that you could take a look at it if that would help.
For additional info, it’s a RedHat 9 machine running PHP 4.2.2, Apache 2.0.40, and MySQL 4.0.15 (from MySQL AB, not Red Hat). Not sure if maybe that could be the problem (I could easily go back to 3.x from the regular distribution).
