Definitely have to get ahold of anotherdelta when I see him. I don't think this fucking WordPress thing is going to work out, dammit.

Anyone familiar with this damned thing?

I'm familiar with Delta ranting about how godawful it was to work with. <_<

Man, what the fuck is your people's issue with WordPress? Best Journal Platform I've ever worked with.

Maybe if it didn't rewrite my code or held some consistency...

So far, I've managed to deal with everything its thrown at me, but my issue at the moment is that on my front page, it keeps everything formatted the way I want it, but if you click on the link for the story off the front page(where you can see the comments as well), then it messes things up, without the breaks between paragraphs I have on the front page.

If you can tell me how to get by that, then maybe I'll stick with it.

Ironically, I'm having to type my posts in LJ, and copy the finished one over to WordPress so it'll come out as well as it does.

It's a template problem, really. I don't have a computer to use that can actually let me make the changes I'd need to do, though.

The problem lies in the way WordPress handles it's articles. You've got your "Short" on the front page, and the "long" for it's own page. "Long" has it's own template, which many don't know about. You just need to edit the "Long Story" template to match your layout. *shrugs*

I'll try and get online at Kinko's later, but I can't promise anything. Really sorry that I can't just do it for you. :\

For what it's worth, I might be back online within the month, if you want/could consider just holding on. I could try and get ahold of some other WordPress savvy people I know as well, I guess, maybe send them your way. *shrugs*

*Long = Full

I wouldn't know how to let you in, anyway.

Hmm, now that I know that it involves that, perhaps I can investigate it a little.

Ok, I checked it out, there's no different templates like on say, MMN or wherever for long and short blurbs. Best I've got is a break that can seperate parts of the story for a "read more" sort of thing.

See, the other thing here is that, while it's not Delta's fault, he might've done it differently than I do, so I can't be sure I'm giving you the right advice.

Still, try looking in the default skin directory. You'll see different templates there.

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll give that a shot.

I notice the problems don't oft seem to happen until about #13 or #14, then sporadically from there. If this doesn't work, I may just divide the content up further(which may not be a bad idea, anyway).

Hmm, not finding a "default skin directory."

This "Import files from LiveJournal" thing has my interest, though, provided I can figure that out.

I guess I should also ask what exactly you're having trouble with.

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

...d'oh. Please see the reply to your last post, I pretty much cover it there.

Things I've had trouble with in the past have included keeping links active; I'd code it and it'd rearrange the code, throwing in an 'x' in front of 'href,' thereby negating the link. It'd still highlight, but would still be unclickable.

Hopefully Knux can help you out a bit; you'll see why in my upcoming LJ entry..

So...is everything okay until I get my 'net hooked up (Friday)? If not, we could probably look into meeting up this week if you want. Wednesday or something. Email me: delta at megamanempire dott com. I should be checking my email and all again on Tuesday.
