Dang it, and I almost posted my question there, too… :/

The Blogtricks link was the hint I was missing. I got rid of the bullet; I haven’t quite gotten the formatting right…
… but I’ll probably abandon Blogtricks. I like the CG-Referer better. ??

I changed the #Blogtricks to #blogtricks
I added this to my CSS:
#blogtricks ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
I bracketed the code in my index.php with ul tags.
Out of ideas. Might be hardcoded by the javascript?

I tried putting a ul (and then an li) in the index but still couldn’t get the bullet to go away.
Why would the capital B make a difference? I’ll try that when I get home.
The blogtricks site has unintelligible instructions for changing the output. :/
Is there a better tool for showing “last referrers”?

Er… I thought I explained in my post that didn’t work. :/
I think it has something to do with the javascript outputting a table format somehow.

I had forgotten what I did, it’s been too many months. I should have documented it, but I didn’t think I’d be sharing it since I’m not the author. ??

I asked months ago. App has never been written, apparently.

I took a comment from Beel several months ago and now I use this for my style switcher plugin. Basically it involved changing “home” to “siteurl” in several places. I’m posting the whole thing in case somebody sees an error, but it’s been working fine for me on WordPress 1.2 for several months now.

She’s such a flirt. ??

Ok. *I* have a problem with pinging and trackbacks, and I’m using WordPress 1.2. ??

It’s a bug in 1.2. If you’re in full-screen mode, you can’t see the categories for some reason.
Hit the middle button on the top right hand corner of your browser and make your screen, say 3/4 size. You should be able to see the categories then.

If you’re using 1.2, it has a problem with pinging and trackbacks.

Thanks for all the help, Podz. The 1.2 install seems stable, at least for 1.5 hours which is a record for me. I imagine it’s some obscure conflict between 1.3, my sql dump, my php version, my godaddy host… who knows. It’s not exhibiting the same problem on your install.
I’m just relieved I have a working blog again, so I’m just going to stay with 1.2.

Thank, podz. Zip file is on the way.
I’m going to try to convert back to 1.2 and see what happens. I didn’t know I could do that before.

I did an SQL dump, deleted the database. Created a new database with a different name and password. It’s even on a difference sql server at godaddy. Uploaded my SQL dump; *bam* wp-smilies redirects again. Took 10 seconds for the site to scramble itself.
Before I go switching hosts as my next attempt, would it be of any benefit to send my SQL dump to you and let you install it? If it instantly munges up on your host, then it’s not my host. The zip file is only 335k.
