No, that wouldn't do what I want. I have some entries on quite irrelevant topics, such as zeppelins, German food, or poetry, and when one of these was viewed alone on the page, the Adsense ads would follow it. They might come into the category 'trivia', but there is no zeppelin category. I am assumi...

I want to redirect my old blog URL (www.margaret-marks.com/Transblawg) to http://transblawg.eu and I can't get it to work. I already posted a query at the provider's website. But maybe it has to do with the way s9y is loaded. I can't seem to connect to a subdirectory. I have 3 domains - one is the o...

How complicated would it be to make the archives pages and pages showing single entries different from the opening page? I am used to a weblog where all the blogroll etc. was only on the front, and not on the back. I see that the headers are different (I want to change the subheader to lowercase, wh...

The latest situation is that I created an SQL dump, found Crimson Editor, which shows the file in a much nicer format than the Windows editor, as everyone presumably knows, and changed the image files directory. When I wanted to reimport the file, I got an error message. Investigation at domainfacto...

I have a large number of image files plus thumbnails (and a few text pdfs) imported from MT, all in one directory which I hoped would temporarily work but doesn't. I want to move these image files into another directory and correct the links in a SQL dump. Here is an example: original: <a href="...

I'd be very happy to pay for such work. I had thought of this. I would also be happy to learn more about SQL, but unfortunately I am supposed to be doing some urgent work too, and in these circumstances it's not really in my interest, even my financial interest, to spend ten hours doing something my...

Thanks!

Yes, I realize that's the problem. If it were in Word, I could do a macro that found bq. and then marked the following paragraph, then inserted something at the end, but paragraphs may not be so obvious in html. I note what you say about more sophisticated editors. You are probably right that it's e...

That was very easy with the comments. I just went in there and did it without reading anything first. I think that will not be the case with the rest! Another question occurs to me (of course). In Movable Type, I had something like a plugin to mark blockquotes. It involved me writing 'bq. ' (i.e. wi...

Great, that's what I thought myself. I have to look at the php my admin stuff, I remember now. Fortunately domainfactory is good with this sort of thing.

Thanks, Garvin. Do you mean I don't need a dump to open comments? (trying to interpret whether your 1. and 2. are my 1. and 2.) and the dump is to change the image directory. Someone (Wordpress user) had suggested to me that I do UPDATE ... SET comments.status = 'open' WHERE comments.status = 'close...

I have imported a lot of entries from an old MT blog and want to do various things. Can I automate these by querying the SQL database? 1. open all entries for comments 2. change the directory where my image files are (I am also wondering what happens if I had thumbnails in MT) 3. Adding categories. ...

Now you're talking!
I've changed the 5 to 15 and the 15 to 10.

Must write down what I've changed now.

Thanks very much

Thanks, Yellowled. That's very helpful. Don has helped me sort out the date problem now, so I am happy. As for the spaces in between entries, I am not going to bother about that because I have a lot more important things to do. I seem to be lucky having taken up s9y after this template appeared. To ...

I found entries.tpl, but I can't find .serendipity_entry or .serendipity_entry_date - or are these not files?
