In reply to: Background Pattern, How To?Sure, easy with Kubrick:
1. Make your image. Name it kubrickbgcolor.jpg
2. Put it in /wp-content/themes/default/images
Hit refresh to make sure it looks good, and you’re done.

In reply to: location of categoriesYeah, they aren’t stored in a PHP file anywhere – they’re in the DB, where MichaelH said.
If you want to include an image instead of the category name, I’d recommend using naming the images with names that reflect the category ID number. See here in the codex.

In reply to: strange errorCan you explain what we’re looking at? Obviously there’s some type of plugin or something working here.
How is the /scores page being generated? It appears to be a page within the wp installation in /dchoops/, but something doesn’t look right.
Can you tell us more?

In reply to: Workaround for Blogger to Wp import problem?My experience is that republishing after making the setting change required for the import usually makes blogger hang. I can usually get it after a couple tries.
You’re publishing to an external FTP site, not Blogger, right?
You can also try Skeltoac’s modified with-comments script.

In reply to: Load speed of WP lately.Ken-
Firefox spends 4-5 seconds on the “waiting for https://www.kensavage.com” status bar message, which makes me think your host’s server needs an Apache restart or perhaps is just overloaded.Methinks the page would start to load faster if it was a problem internal to your blog; since you get nothing for so long, I bet it’s the server.
Can you check any other sites hosted on this server to see if they have the same problem?

In reply to: Podcast on a Page (not a post)Here’s what comes to mind:
1. Use a category for your podcast
2. Install a plugin such as RunPHP
3. On the Podcast page, display a list of recent posts (limit to 1) from the podcast category
This will give a link to the most recent podcast post.
As far as linking directly to the most recent .mp3 file, I don’t think that’s possible using native features in WP.
You’d have to access the custom keys that trigger file enclosures in the RSS, which means you’re looking at some heavy custom MySQL queries.

In reply to: Typepad to WordPress Permalink IssueMy understanding of TypePad is that you’ll need the most expensive type of account to edit any of the permalink stuff. You can change account type at any time, though.
If you are able to, you’ll need to have an identical permalink structure on both sites. This is easy in WordPress – just set it up so the whole path (other than the domain) is the same under Options – Permalinks.
Then, assuming there’s a MT/TypePad tag that lets you create a relative permalink, you can insert something like this into your post template:
<a href="https://www.tadspot.com/<MTTagThatLets YouCreateARelativePermalink />">Post title</a>
What would be ideal, though, is if the post numbers lined up, because then you could link to tadspot.com/?p=111 (where 111 is the post ID), so the URI format you used wouldn’t matter (since WordPress will always accept ?p=# querystring input).

In reply to: RSS Feeds not working on new Fantasico InstallThe links to the feeds say:
feed:https://…
You can only have one protocol, so just take out thefeed:
. Most browsers will recognize the feed from the WordPress headers, and the feed:// protocol tends to confuse users who don’t have a compatible reader installed on their system (nor does it work for online aggregators).Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: only first post is formattedOK, your issue is that a table is used in there. You need to use a DIV to wrap the post header. Can you post the content of the Loop? It looks like some of the table stuff isn’t being looped.
I would strongly advise against using tables for layout in the first place, but it should be OK if you can get them out of the loop.
