I agree that IE is like getting a free Ford Focus that can’t get into fourth gear — you still drive it because it’s there — FF has been gaining popularity quickly, especially so when you understand that people have to find and download it, grabbing ~10% of the browser market in a few months is huge.

And IE ever truly supporting standards will be something I believe when I see it. However, there is a direct challenge laid down to Microsoft: a page called “Acid2” containing CSS features currently broken by IE. (The original Acid project was back in 1997, and worked in forcing MS to support HTML features it hadn’t before.)

Theoretically, you could move the whole sidebar into The Loop (since it’s the single-post template you should only get one sidebar…;-)). You’d need a separate sidebar for single.php than you’re using for the index/archives, of course.

There might be other complications that arise when you do that, but it wouldn’t break your computer to try it.

…Or could you create a second Loop for the sidebar?

I use VPC also (we Mac people have the unfortunate problem of all our Web browsers are standards-compliant). It does have a bit of a problem properly resolving localhost.

For people like me who’ve configured Apache to use virtual hosts (to work with multiple domains), it doesn’t seem to work at all.

If CG-Feedread isn’t fullt updated yet, you might try aggrss:

I’m using it on my 1.5 site and it’s working great.

Be sure to log that as a bug. We Mac folk have to take responsibility for WP working properly with our stuff.

(I use Firefox most of the time, so I never had that issue.)

Well, I didn’t import the static pages – instead I created a header and footer to wrap them in that matches the WP-driven portion (or should – the CSS behaves differently for some reason). It’s actually better in the long run than databasing them, I think.

But I would imagine there’s a script somewhere for that.

Yes, a non-permalink bookmark should work.

And in WP, from what I’ve seen “non-permalinks” aren’t all that convoluted. In fact, they may be shorter than the permalinks!

Permalinks used to be necessary to get your pages into Google (Google didn’t like dynamic URLs). That’s no longer the case, although it still may be an issue with other search engines.

“Permalinks” is kind of a misnomer – unless you mess with your database, the “non-permalink” URLs should remain just as “permanent.”

They look nicer, and they allow users to find categories, archives, etc., easier, using logical paths, although you may not want that.

No real disadvantages I can think of that aren’t also problems with “non-permalinks.” Accidentally nuking your .htaccess, I guess, but you can always rebuild that.

Thanks for the WP-Poll-related stuff, but back on topic: are there any other poll scripts people are using?

That’s what I get for being a pioneer, I guess. Thanks anyway.

Bump…

Thanks!

Is there a permalink format for that? (You know, like /category/title/2004 or something…)

That seems to solve the post count problem. I’d still rather code directly, but it’ll do for a band-aid fix.

Thanks.

Now If I can find the right URL to call a category-specific yearly archive page, I’ll be ready to concentrate on actual content. ??

1. Solved.

2. Tried a negative number in the plugin, got an error. (Positive numbers work just fine.) Of course, we don’t know if the plugin will even solve this problem.
