But if they knew the back end wouldn't they also know how to maintain the front end?

Not necessarily. The majority of downright ugly websites look beautiful to their creators. Much like the ugly baby is to its mother.

I don't want to be mean and post the blog I am referring to, but it wasn't even the design. They just used the default template, didn't add anything to it except posts that aren't even formatted.
- Shevonne
Not necessarily... someone might be an expert on SEO; or know WP inside out; be intimately familiar with the syntax and function of CSS; and be a PHP ninja, but not have a creative bone in their body. The flip side of that would be someone who can create the most gorgeous looking sites, but not know what's going on behind the scenes. As Rasheen, says, it depends on the nature of their advice... Do you have a URL you can share with us?

O.K. so now you've got me worried, as I'm 'TRYING' to get my "UGLY" web site turned into word press this weekend and have NO clue what to do till I get into it and through up my hands. If you know of any URL sites for the "Beginner" for WordPress I'd be most grateful!

Mit Hilfe von Google übersetzt das Plugin Transposh die Inhalte von auf Wordpress basierenden Sites live und direkt in derzeit schon über 40 Sprachen … darunter auch Deutsch. Der Clou: Lässt man einen Text in eine einem gut geläufige Sprache übersetzen, und kommt einem die Übersetzung dann etwas “hakelig” vor, dann kann man den Text sofort im Frontend-Editing-Modus anpassen.

I use it. I like it. Just wish there was an easier way to change the calendar icons and allow for thumbnails. Of course, that would immediately reduce the loading speed…

Susan: I just requested an invite from the actual site and i received one the next day - did you try filling the form? or are they not allowing you without one?
- Aline Ohannessian
Aline - I too completed the form, but no invite (yet!)
- Susan Beebe
Susan: I'm sure you'll get one soon :o) - Blessings
- Aline Ohannessian
Got invite!!! Seems to work only with "Blogger" platform, not WP, TypePad yet ...hmm
- Susan Beebe
I got it and found that out too, I guess we'll have to wait until it comes out for the other platforms.
- James Stratford
James - Ah you got that result too.. darn!

Any wordpress experts out there??...i'm hoping someone would assist me with our new blog theme. I'm using Meta-morphosis theme, which uses the jQuery Looped-Slider in the footer for the Widgitized area - for some odd reason the widgets are not showing, but i can see them in the page source...
i've been going crazy trying to figure this out - if anyone is willing to help here's the site: http://sanctuairesoulssanctuary.com/souls-t... - check the bottom footer part (widgets not showing) then check the page source...and you'll see the widgets there - very strange :o( -- Muchly appreciate ANY assistance!

I'm looking for a WordPress 2.8-compatible plug-in that integrates FriendFeed comments with native comments. I host my own blog and can hack comments.php. I've tried the two existing WordPress plug-ins with no luck. Anyone got this working?
I've integrated BackType connect on my blog, took some tweaking of their code, etc. as my Wordpress is very customized. Plus I didn't like the standard wording of their social comment headers. Example: http://businessmindhacks.com/post...

I use it with Windows Live Writer and it definitely works wonders and makes writing, tagging and linking a LOT easier. That said, I think it adversely afffects WLW's stability, but not enough for me to stop using it
- LANjackal
@LANjackal appreciate your input! i'm thinking of using a server-side plug-in for wordpress - Blessings :)
- Aline Ohannessian
The last time I used it, I wasn't too thrilled with the markup it produced. I'm wondering if they've cleaned it up a bit.

Who can help with WordPress Hive? My hive's main blog has an RSS feed but the child does not. Need a solution before adding more blogs to the hive... or dismantling the hive altogether. Ugh.
I'm a little late, but the only reason I can think of to stay at 2.7x is that neither of the FriendFeed-comment integration plugins seem to work with 2.8.
- Stephen Mack
Too late, but I wasn't using that plugin right now anyway. I'm currently using BackType. Thanks for chiming in Stephen.
- Justin Korn
I may switch to BackType -- do you recommend it?
- Stephen Mack
Stephen - I've only been using it for a month or so, but the support is AWESOME and it is simple to setup. I was using DISQUS before and wasn't too happy with the SPAM filtering and I couldn't seem to get the FriendFeed integration working right.

I tried to upgrade, but it blocks on the "downloading" step. Any idea?
- Stanislas Jourdan
Stanislas - I'll need more information to help you out. Are you using the WordPress Autoupdate plugin to upgrade? If so, are you getting any messages? My first guess is, you need to give write acesss to your wordpress directory temporarily for the update to work.
- Justin Korn
I just tried this plugin but it does not work either. I don't get any message : it just does not answer back after more than one hour. I'm using the french version 2.7 with the inove theme 1.4.
- Stanislas Jourdan
No matter what I try, I still get the same error: “Unable to locate WordPress Plugin directory”. This solution didn't work for me either: http://blog.noizeramp.com/2008... -- FTP is working fine and the FTP user points to the blog root. Any other ideas?
Also tried this on wp-config.php: putenv('TMPDIR=' . ini_get('upload_tmp_dir')); and no dice!

Also tried adding this on wp-config.php: define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/{my_blog_dir}/blog/wp-content' ); define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/{my_blog_dir}/blog/wp-content/plugins' );

Also tried adding this on wp-config.php: define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/{my_blog_dir}/blog/wp-content/'); define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ', '/{my_blog_dir}/blog/wp-content/plugins/');
