I’ll probably do that. First, I want to confirm with the original file that something I’ve modified is breaking stuff. If that is confirmed, then I’ll send you the offending file.

If it’s something else…I may need an “I love me” jacket. :p

Heheh…that’s because, when I break it, I either know exactly what I did wrong and can fix it immediately, or I upload my latest known good backup of whichever file I was working on. FileZilla…my port for any storm!

If you know which part of the PHP code is causing you a kerfluffle, paste it in an email to me. PHP and me, we’re good buddies. I invited him to my wedding, we go out for margaritas once a month…I’ll see what I can do.

Ew. Not being able to see what you’re doing while you write definitely qualifies as Epic Fail. Odd, though … You say you’re having trouble keeping the site up and running, but I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary in my visits over the last few days. In fact, the site looks better than ever. Keep up the good work.

You’re too kind, my friend. Most of what you see, is what was here before; the real changes (so far) are fairly subtle.

WRT to my reply to Marylin, I still have a php issue of some kind: I can’t edit comments (my own), nor can I preview my posts and pages. Grrrr…

*grins* You don't need help, you're doing an awesome job on your own! Wow! I'm very impressed with what you've accomplished. .-= Tami´s latest blog post is Advertising Wisely =-.

Saturday and Sunday were fun. Monday was mostly fun. Tuesday is a blur. Yesterday and most of today sucked. BUT NOW…I am cookin’ with gas!

Finally (mostly) figured out my php problems and got my spiffy new RSS/Twitter links to show subscribers.

Well, I have my custom_functions.php file fixed…for now. The four things it is supposed to do are working: The nav menu is below the header image; the search box is functioning (and located) properly, there is a post image for each post (the animated Kestrel GIF, which I’d previously been inserting into each post “by hand”), and the widgetized footer appears to be working properly…but I really don’t have any actual widgets in it.

I still don’t understand exactly when, why, or where to open and close a php tag, but I think I can fake it more effectively.

That said…I still can’t preview messages!
