Problem with wordpress

[anasporn]

whitey, I have seriously thought about going back to flat files for what I do (I blog only when I have something to say LOL) but if you can translate that Habari stuff into "idiot-ese" for me, particularly the themes and plugins bits, it sounds like it may be something like what I am looking for. (Ask Walrus, I am the Original Script Idiot and no script is idiotproof until it is Ana-proof)

Ana..I am likely going to do a full install sometime in the next day or two. I have only tested it. I will let you know if it is simple to use.

Ahh...and the values of static pages are being lost, but they are most valuable.

I will keep this thread in mind and get back to you when I play with it a bit more. If easy to use, I will let you know.

hmmm...I have been intending to try Textpattern for a mainstream client. Seems simple as well.

Looking through the plug-ins for it I didn't see any anti-spam. Did have an Askimet plug-in but it said it no longer worked on the current version.

I'm impressed...NOT

Well, I have become rather anti-social when it comes to blog comments. And Askimet trashed my mainstream blog, even after repeated requests to whitelist it as per their support page. So they can kiss my redneck ass, their spam filter is junk IMO.

Probably this weekend. Got sidetracked into a complicated purchase, transfer of domains, sever moves, and complicated 301 stuff associated with that. Hope to use it on a mainstream commerical blog this weekend (at least that is my current goal). No problem with the follow up.
