Ok, one of the plugin's authors (Jeremiah) edited the PHP file that grabs the weather. Here's the support forum entry: h**p://wordpress.org/support/10/14051 It includes a link to the latest WeatherIcon php file too. Looks like the php file somehow wouldn't grab the image or generate the image's name. So he edited/tweaked/reworked the php code. later, !!blue

ah, yes, I found this link in the WP wiki: h**p://wiki.wordpress.org/MT-Redirect I'll have to try that tonight. For now the redirect you gave worked wonderfully. So, if I do try what the wiki suggests, will that take place of the lines you just suggested? thanks, !!blue

Nothing like getting half instructions, it took me a looooooooooong time to find this pieces that you have to add to your awstats conf. file. Rob, the lines u mention are, I believe, commented out with the #'s, the lines below are the ones that are needed: >MiscTrackerUrl="http://www.mysite.com/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js" ShowScreenSizeStats=1 ShowMiscStats=1 I hope you no one thinks I'm bad-mouthing anyone. I'm just saying that it took me a long time to find those lines above to add to the config file to make the tracker work. I added it the the awstats.mysite.com.conf file found here: /home/tmp/awstats/ Now, I'm not sure if I have to add it to the conf files for each of my subdomains or whether I even added it to the right file. But, um, yeah... there u go. I've been getting stats since I added those lines. later, !!blue

I need to permanently redirect all pages under the public_html/blog/archives/ folder to blog/archives.php. A good friend of mine said I should use mod_rewrite in conjuction with the 301 redirect. The pages that were under the archives folder (created by movable type) were created like so: 18-Oct-2003-8:10PM.shtml. So, it had the date separated with dashes and then the time with the shtml extension. I want to permanently redirect all those pages to the new archives page (a great plugin for wordpress created this page): h**p://blog.zoblue.com/archives.php I was using this: >Redirect 301 /blog/archives/ http://blog.zoblue.com/ but that doesn't work on all the pages *in* that folder. It might be wrong all together. How can I do the permanent redirect w/mod_rewrite for any pages that previously existed under the archive folder? And please go easy on my brain, ok? thanks, !!blue

Me too! I have just given up. 'twasn't meant to be

I found this article interesting: www.sitepoint.com/article/1041 I think it's on the bleeding edge of the whole "opening a new window" topic. I don't mind opening new windows, but like to be forewarned via an icon, text, or something else. I use a CSS class that adds an icon before a link that opens in a new window on my blog. The above article uses an attribute for the link tag that I was unfamiliar with: rel along with some Javascript, but what if the user has JS turned off? Won't work. This debate could go on forever. New windows are great for showing artwork at larger sizes, maps, helpful text, instructions, etc. New windows are bad because they are, in effect, pop-ups and take control away from the user. I'll just patiently wait for the day when you can create a class of links that open in a new tab instead of a new window. THAT would rock. regards, !!blue

Ok, I have given up. I have tried everything, even hitting the computer! (don't worry, it survived) So, I'm just not going to use the weather plugin. I tried everything that the members over at the WP forum suggested and nothing worked. meh later, !!blue

ARRGHGHGHGH!! Dick, I've tried that and tried the same city code. I even unrared (is that right?) the original GetWeather-with-icons.rar php file to replace the plugin and reuploaded it to my site. Then deactivated and reactivated the plugin. Still the same thing. Mad!!! The weird thing is that my blog is still showing alt tags even though the php file I uploaded doesn't have the alt tag. It seems like it takes a while for the plugin to be reset. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to keep troubleshooting then.

BTW: I've moved wordpress to the subdomain: h**p://blog.zoblue.com/. But, yeah, that's what I mean Bruce, the php code must not be generating the icon's name according to the weather conditions. The PHP code is supposed to generate the image name according to the weather conditions and fill in the image src. The code does do the img tag, but not the file name of the image. I've posted my problem in the WP's support forums. Hopefully I can get some help from the plugin's authors? thanks, !!blue

I have installed WordPress and have tried two different weather plugins and neither of them show the icons. Check my test page of both of them here (the alt tag shows up with a green border): h**p://blog.zoblue.com/a-weather.php I'm using Get Weather: h**p://wiki.wordpress.org/GetWeather and Weather Icon: h**p://www.sonicpling.net/archives/2004/02/20/weather-hack/ Neither of them show my images so I'm not sure what's going on? The weather folders are set to 755 permissions and if you try to access an icon directly they do work: Weather icon: h**p://blog.zoblue.com/wp-images/wicons/0cloud.png Get Weather: h**p://blog.zoblue.com/wp-images/weather-icons/0.png If you view the source of the a-weather.php page, you'll see that the image tag doesn't contain the icon's file name. The img src tag is not being populated with the file name needed to show the icon. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? thanks, !!blue

Please delete this topic... i fixed my problem... right after I posted it too. Isn't that how it always goes? thanks, !!blue

Oh, wow. I have no idea, I've never used Cutesite Builder. Maybe you can have the stylesheet as a CSS file that is linked into the head tag? Other then that, I have no idea. Hopefully someone with experience can help? sorry, !!blue

I once entered a ticket on something along the same lines and got this response: From what I understand, the certificate is shared on all sites on the same server. So the certificate does not belong to *your* website in particular but to all sites on that server. Thunderbird is just making sure that your ok with that, in my case it was Firefox and I was able to add the certificate with no problems. If I'm wrong, which I probably am, someone correct me btw: Google came up with this page when I searched for shared SSL www.ourshop.com/resources/shared-ssl.html loaded with more technical info that I can take in on a Monday morning. Can someone translate it to layman's terms? hope that helps, !!blue

You could try adding a CSS style to the select object by adding the code below between the head tags: ><style type="text/css"> select {font: normal 0.8em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333; background: #E3EEDD;} </style> I added a background color just to show you that it can be done. The font sizes should now resemble each other in different browsers. Many of the objects in a form can have styles added to it. hope that helps, !!blue

Here's a link with *some* info on Post Slug: wordpress.org/support/7/8785 Doesn't make much sense to me tho. A9's pretty coo! Is it associated with Amazon.com cuz they have the same little smiley/arrow logo. Ah, they are, just saw the bottom footer. Here's more info on permalinks www.plasticbag.org/archives/2003/06/on_permalinks_and_paradigms.shtml. I don't know how you've set up your blog to access your individual entries, but I've set up mine to use the entry's time and date combo to name each entires. The link above uses the entry's title, which I don't like cuz sometimes I use the same title for entries on different days. later, !!blue

Permalink is short for "permanent links." For example, when you link to an article in an online newspaper the URL may change because the article is archived or moved. So a "Permalink" means that the URL will stay permanently linked and will always work. (link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink) Trackback is exactly as described by Lisa (link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback). Pingback is a way for you to know who's linking to your entries by "pinging" them. (link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingback) hope that helps, !!blue

My favorite meal is Posole--a red, spicy stew with pork, lots o' hominy and bunch of spices. Once served in a bowl you add oregano, radish slices, feshly chopped cabbage and squeeze lime into it..... *slobers like Homer Simpson* It's not made that often at home because it's a pain to wash the hominy and cook it. Man! Now I'm hungry (btw: my second favorite is the garlic mashed potatoes side dish from Chili's Restaurant, someone PLEASE tell me how to make that!! on another note, I call them "sangwiches"... yup, I'm weird. ) later, !!blue

My blog entry for today, thought I'd share the links: enjoy, !!blue

Oh, *blushes* sorry I assumed.

why not? makes me sad here I thought all schools did that. guess I was wrong

The only thing I can add to this great and eye-opening discussion is that we should teach the next generation how to care for computers at school just like teens have to take driver's ed in high school. Mandatory! There are many schools that teach kids how to use computers, but do they teach them how to care for computers. My driver's ed class taught us how to change a tire, those little circuit thingies underneath the steering area, checking oil, basics and other such things. (Of course, I didn't get my license til I was, what, 26? So what does that say about me? But I do know how to change a tire! ) later, !!blue

Actually, even though I have duplicate folders, only one set receives email. The duplicate folders don't. They use to before the second set showed up, but now they don't. (Does that make sense? ) To summarize, only one set of the twin folders receive emails. I don't get two copies of emails, only one. Hope that helps , !!blue

Thanks! That, at least, offers an explanation as to why Horde shows duplicate folders. But I'm not going to delete folders and I don't even know if I can delete them. thanks, !!blue

Awww... no replies? must be a tough one!

Hi, Finally found the downtime to post my question, phew! In my email (using Horde) I have duplicate inbox folders. Here's the break down of all my folders: >| INBOX | [-] ****.zoblue.com (subdomain) | [-] blue | | inbox | [-] bluebids | | inbox | [-] ****.zoblue.com (subdomain) | drafts | [-] ****.zoblue.com (subdomain) | INBOX.Drafts | inbox.pop | INBOX.Sent | INBOX.Trash | [-] info | | inbox | [-] mystic | | inbox | saved-messages | [-] ****.zoblue.com (subdomain) | sent-mail | spam | trash | [-] zoblue.com | [-] blue | | inbox | | spam | [-] bluebids | | inbox | | spam | [-] info | | inbox | | spam | [-] mystic | | inbox | [-] zulema_ortiz | | inbox |[-] zulema_ortiz | | inbox each [-] is an open folder and each ****.zoblue.com is a subdomain's folder. So... ok, the folders under zoblue.com are the ones that get the emails (5 email accts) . The same folders in the root don't get any email. Also, why would a sub-domain have a folder, but no inbox? And how do I get rid of the duplicate folders that don't get any email? please shed some light, !!blue
