    Okay, thanks for the replies both of you.

    I can write the plugin myself, but I’d be grateful if you could point me in the right direction, in terms of what I’d have to do : ).

    (Also, instead of going one way of t’other, it could have been made a option — but there are things I’m more concerned about, so I’ll quit complaining ; )

    Cypher: Please see the Wiki page for instructions. If they are not clear enough please let me know.

    The code in the plugin is a function. Therefore, it will do its magic wherever that function is called.

    whooami, I was aware that this could be easily hacked in (although I wasn’t aware of that post), but I thought it’s just as easy to make a plugin for it, and perhaps those who aren’t so technically inclined will find it easier to do.

    It’s also *way* cleaner.

    I think the site looks very nice, but I’d disagree with moshu and say that I really don’t like the navigation. It’s quite obscure, I didn’t notice it easily, and it’s not very usable. If it were me, I’d get rid of it.

    Hmmm… it’s very strange. I’ve tried all of your feeds, and they all give an error (except the comment ones).
    I know this sounds stupid, but please check that the files definitely exist. If they do, you should probably email your host (as the error page says), as this is probably a problem with them rather than WordPress.

    You should get a better host, but failing that, in the admin interface, under Options>Permalinks, just make sure there is nothing in any of the boxes, and the links should go to the actual PHP files now.

    There is no property called “align” in CSS, as Podz said, the “text-align” property should work for you. That *should* work.
    The method using creates the gap above the image because it is a paragraph. Paragraphs have a margin above them (by default) for spacing.

    If you have a cookie on your computer storing the password then you will be able to see that protected post in the feed. Otherwise it just says “There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.”
    So you’ve probably already entered the password before, and it’s stored on your computer as a cookie.

    You’d put it in wp-layout.css, and it doesn’t matter where it’s placed.

    Uh oh, I smell IE here. CSS “filters” with the meaning of a CSS filter property (as opposed to a way of using CSS commenting patterns so that only certain browsers “see” the CSS) are an IE only thing. Meaning they are NOT standards compliant and NOT interoperable. So it’s really NOT a good idea to use them.
    Further than that I cannot help you. I never have and never will use them unless they ever become part of any CSS specification by the W3C.

    I’m not saying that it’s not a good idea, I’m simply saying that for most of the time it isn’t needed.

    You can’t easily change your password from the database, because it is an MD5 hash rather than a plain text password. So you need to find out what the hash of your desired password is and put that in the password field instead. You can use this:
    https://bfl.rctek.com/tools/?tool=hasher

    You would only not overwrite the files that are meant to be personalised, like index.php, wp-comments.php, etc.

    I had that error when I was installing WP locally after installing a new server (LAMPP). I struggled with it for ages… but it seems to be a problem with PHP5. Delete the database, and recreate it. Switch to PHP4 (if you can), and try it again. Worked for me. If you are using LAMPP then this will switch to PHP4:
    # /opt/lampp/lampp php4

    Thanks for the kind words people.
    Regarding Opera, someone else actually emailed me about this today too. The site doesn’t work in Opera at the moment. The buttons along the top don’t all display, and it seems that on pages longer than a certain amount, the page execution mysteriously aborts, hence if you scroll down you will see cut-off content. The sidebar is actually located underneath the content, and is then absolutely positioned, so I suspect that is why it is disappearing.
    I will try to sort out these issues as soon as I have the site roughly “finished”.
