well, I think you could do this a few ways, assuming I’m understanding what you’re trying to do.

you could create a page template with the loop, but then query it to only retrieve a specific category. I believe this is possible. Then you’d name your page whatever you want so that it’d show up on your pages listing.

Another way is to just create a special area on your sidebar say “topics of interest” and then use a limited category call by taking advantage of the parameters and only displaying the categories you want.

I’d think that the second way would be easier to accomplish, but would require periodic manual updating to change which categories you want to show/hide.

That’s of course I’m assuming I understand you correctly.

yea it’s a plugin although I can’t remember where to find it.

hmm, what do you mean by update a page? Post content on it that’s the same as your posts in the specific category? or completely different content? So if you were to make a post in category “interest” what would show up on the page?

Cause what you’re saying sounds like just a listing of the category posts?

try this maybe?

.post a {
font-size: ##px;
}

also, not everyone wants to provide their own info so they can try to stay as anonymous as possible.

um, you’ll most likely either need to make your side menu’s bigger, or add overflow:hidden to the css for the right side menu.

um, i see it fine? although your comment link is hidden kinda due to the text being a similar color as the background

if you have your .htaccess chmodded to atleast 666, and it appears that the permalinks are writing to the file, then you’ll most likely need to set up your permalinks to look like this:

index.php/%month%/%and so on%/%and so on%/

see if that’ll fix it. not the prettiest but it might work.

did you actually run upgrade.php?

um, i see a new wordpress post?

make sure you have:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

in your loop.

I’m not sure that you can actually only display the first 5 using the pages function. You’d have to find a plugin to do this I’m thinking.

looks fine in both, although your search bar runs into your white area by a few pixels in IE but doesn’t in FF.

it’s cause you’re most likely using the_exceprt instead of the_content for the loop in your archives.php page.

hmm, it seems like you’re code is correct in your sidebar.php file, you might want to see if you can clean up any of these validation errors though:

https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https://www.blueblurry.com/

Ideally, you’d get rid of all the warnings, and have no errors. It may be tedious and time consuming, but it could fix your problem.
