Is it possible to sort categories by the number of posts within them, so that the categories with the most posts is up at the top?

You’re right, ryan–I am using 1.5.

But just for the record, alt-os, the patch outputs the pubdate as one hour earlier than the actual post date (I’m on EST time). Is there a way to fix that?

alt-os, you rock–I really hope this works. I’ve been struggling with this problem lately.

Thanks so much for this.

I’m having a problem with the timestamp on my rss feed, too. Even though, in the Dashboard, I’ve set the time to be -4 off of UTC time, and even though the time shows up correctly on the blog, the RSS feed shows posts as having been posted 5 hours before I wrote them.

This is frustrating because when the feed is picked up, the post is stamped with an incorrect time. How can I fix this?

Hmmm…I tried this fix, but my posts still show up with a timestamp five hours before I posted them…anyone have ideas about how to fix that?

Same thing happens to me when my posts get aggregated by Philly Future. It bothers me because the front page of that site features a rolling aggregator, and my posts never show up there…

just caught up with this thread, AdrianB. Thanks for following up. In the end, I did end up delving into the database to fix the problem.

A 1000-pixel wide table will create a horizontal scrollbar at 800×600 resolution, even if it is empty.

wow–my mind is really gone by the end of the day. thanks for the reminder.

that’s a good point, basketball–if I set the widths to 100%, the site could look very strange on a res higher than 1024×768…

I wonder if I could enclose the design in a 1000 pixel width table, and then use relative widths within that…

count me in–I’d love to see this as a plugin

thanks, macmanx–I didn’t know about Shadow’s site. Great stuff.

if anyone else can think of a theme that fits what I’m looking for, please let me know. thanks.

great post…this should be sticky

I have no idea how to help, but I think I’m having the same problem–a site that aggregates my feed shows my posts as being published at different times than the time they were published.

Are you sure that you put it in sidebar.php and not in archive.php?

just to update this post: I ended up not playing with the CSS further. Instead, I just edited the image itself, and moved it a pixel over. Who knows–the original error may have occured when I made the image in the beginning.

At any rate, the CSS I’m now using is the default:
#header {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #73a0c5;
}

#headerimg {
margin: 0;
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
}

h1 {
padding-top: 5px;
margin: 0;
}

.invisible {
display: none;
}

and the header.php looks like this:

<div id=”header” onclick=”location.href='<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>’;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>
<div id=”headerimg”><h1 class=”invisible”>The Tattered Coat</h1>
<div class=”invisible”>a paltry thing</div>
</div>
</div>

The reason I wanted to include the title of the site in an h1 is that I believe that some search engines place importance on the text in h1 tags…
