@Jesuit: Hard? Whoot! WP is installed in the same directory, most people should not any issues with permissions etc. MT, on the other hand, is intalled in different directories (your CGI-BIN and HTML root), requires you to upload files in particular mode (binary upload breaks perl) and there are plenty of places where a novice can screw up when configuring his first blog … And unless you are using TypePad you would need your own server too.

@2fargon: MT does not require Perl knowledge.
@willm: WP uses would benefit from some basic PHP and MySQL skills, or much better documentation.

Short, sweet and mostly right. Seems like their primary problem with WP was lack of documentation and that sounds about right. 1.0.2 is lacking a few features that I was very used to with MT, but 1.2 will cover most, if not all, problem areas. I can’t wait for 1.2 ?? Those couple of weeks have really strecthed out.
Lastly, I want ecto and WP to work! Right now I can’t get them to work right and people who got it working keep complaining about various problems.

If you still have my stylesheet around ??
Take a look at the .center class and you’ll see auto margins for left/right, then apply it to your images.
<img src="blah" class="center" />

I’ve used both Coppermine and PHP Gallery. PHP Gallery is much much better overall, despite not looking very pretty out of the box. V 2.0 should bring a lot of enchancements and MySQL backend … I’m waiting.

Excellent idea.

There is WP backup script that makes a SQL dump with all your entries in there or you can do it by hand. Also check forums/features of the new blogging tool you are looking at … may be they have a WP import, although unlikely.

Make sure that your my-hacks.php does not have any extra spaces or characters. Post first few lines of your my-hacks.php.

That’s very odd, because Mozilla usually renders everything properly and IE is the one to mess things up (at least in my case and IE 5.2 for Mac, I just gave up on that browser). Link?

Try this:
<?php
require_once('wp-mood/wp-mood.inc');
require_once('wp-grins.php');
?>
Did you enable your my-hacks file? In Options > General Blog Settings > hack_file shoud be set to true.

Yes, you can put comments in your style sheet. Just place them betwen /* YOUR COMMENT */

Design is a relative thing. However it is much easier to read black on white/light grey (like here in the forums), because our eyes are so used to this text/background combo. If you are set on changing the backgound you could use a very light shade of green like CCFF99, 99FF66 or 99FF99 … that way it will still be easy to read. If your content is hard to read people will get frustrated and leave, and we don’t wont that do we? ??

I just looked at your style sheet and you don’t seem to have a .storycontent class … so make one:
.storycontent {
background: #363;
}
I would also suggest that you organize your style sheet. It is a bit all over the place right now ?? You’ll find it much easier to edit.

Just add background-color: #363; to .storycontent
I would recommend against it though. Are you sure you want your entry background to be green?

replace that 20 with '' to show all months or set it to 12 to show last twelve etc. You get the idea.
