I haven’t done a full install so I don’t know how to debug yet. But they have an active help forum. I’m not refusing to help, just saying they might be better at it.
Bitsontherun is part of the same company group.

In reply to: Embedding Videos without using youtube?Hi Clayton,
Yeah, I saw that. But I’m also interested in his LongTail advertising network, so a commercial license is part of the deal anyway. For me.

In reply to: Embedding Videos without using youtube?I haven’t bought it yet, but isn’t it like 20 Euros, $40 or so?
I like to use Flash to configure the players and I’m still on Flash 8 which uses ActionScript 2. The JW player requires AS3. Adobe is releasing Flash CS4 on the 15th for the same price as CS3, so I’m waiting for that before installing the JW player.

There’s even a shadowbox plugin that’s really cool.

In reply to: posts, pages, categories and archivesTypically posts are made on an ongoing basis. Some bloggers post posts several times a day. Each post covers a specific topic that is related to the overall concept of the blog. Depending on your settings, a number of posts will be displayed on your site, usually with the newest on top then more underneath in descending order by date/time published.
A page is usually something that is published once and left alone. For example, a ‘contact’ or ‘about’ page that contains information that doesn’t change often. Pages are usually listed in either the navigation bar or in a sidebar widget. They provide one-click access to the information contained within, whereas posts will rotate off the front page and won’t be accessible except via the archives, or via the previous/earlier buttons.
A category is a way to organize posts into groups that can be listed together. If you had a political blog you might place some posts in the Republican category, some in Democrat, and some in Independents. Then you would add a Categories widget that would display those three categories. Clicking on one would take you to an archive page that listed only those posts that were in a particular category.
Archives are automatically created by category, month, and a few others. Add a category widget to get a list that will link to pages for each category. Add an archive widget to get a list of months that link to a list of posts for each month. And so on.
Widgets are added in the Dashboard>Design>Widgets menu.

In reply to: making the case for wordpress over sharepointFor starters, Sharepoint is Microsoft. I’d expect any true blooded IT droid to run screaming on that alone. ??
Reading some of the Sharepoint marketing stuff, it looks like it’s mostly set up for internal corporate communications. Nothing inherently wrong with that, and I may be wrong, but that’s the takeaway for me.
I don’t have the statistics you’re looking for. I’d argue that a primary reason to use WP over SP is that WP is a true blogging tool that everyone else acknowledges as being a true blogging tool. It has all the connectivity to the rest of the blogosphere built in. It looks like a blog. And it’s not Microsoft.

In reply to: Change color of blog titleMan, I looked at it in Firebug and the h1 font is defined and redefined in too many places to figure it out. You need to study up on CSS and then create a single place in the stylesheet where the h1 font is defined.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful. If any of the other regulars/mods here can help, please do.

In reply to: Please Help!It says there is an error at line 66 in the functions.php template. That’s an advanced template to be working in. What did you do?
Really need links to let anyone help.

In reply to: Change color of blog titleWithout a link to your site it’s hard to help you.
If you run Firefox there is an add-on called Firebug that will help you find the code in the CSS style.css stylesheet that sets the attributes for fonts.

In reply to: Where’s this in my head coming from?I guess if you have a plugin that manages or interacts with ‘recent comments’ that would be a likely culprit.
I know Sphere adds its own CSS to the head to position the Sphere icon. If you have any social bookmarking buttons, they might be doing it, but that would seem odd.
