Nowadays, blog do not only have text but also photo and video. YES, i can upload them to WordPress but why i don't do that.</p> <p>It's not user-friendly. i need to upload photo one by one. Media library is not useful. Add one photo to post is OK, however, if i want to upload and show a lot of photos at once, it is so hard to do that.</p> <p>Hope to see WordPress improve photo and video handling, so i don't need to go to other site for that.

I just wondered if it would not be possible to center the pictures by default when they are less than 900 pixels large. In Monotone I used 800 pixels pictures to let a coloured frame around them.

It is just a detail, but if it can be resolved, it would be fine.</p> <p>In Duotone I use 900 pixels pictures and it's working fine. </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/less-features-than-blogger#post-413568 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:17:42 +0000 greatcommunicators 413568@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>Wanted to import my blogger site, but it contains videos, music and flash.

I started a new blog about motivation, writing, living in Italy, teaching English and family values. My blog is dedicated towards making our lives better. I recently wrote an article on how to get published a writer and I invite you to read it. I am extremely happy with the amount of hits I have received AND I am constantly looking for new ways to increase my traffic. My traffic has gone up to 350 hits in JUST three weeks. Do you think this is good? I think it is fantastic. I wish I knew a secret for getting 1000s of hits but I would be lying if I said I did. </p> <p>Since I am new, I was just wondering if you could give me your tips to increase traffic. I got my 350 hits by steadily working towards a goal. You'll see the methods I used on my blog. By the way it reads from today on backwards. I'm not sure if I can reverse this order since it would make more sense!</p> <p>Thank you so much and have a nice day. </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/reference-tagger#post-414331 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:12:46 +0000 hillsbiblechurch 414331@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>My site, like many other WordPress sites is a Christian church-based site.

Ok.<br /> But what really SUCKS ist the verey bad redaction on the invitation to be a colaborator to another's people's blog. It result that you DON'T own the blog created using that link. You put the username and asign a password that you can never use becouse no user is created, just someones else extra room. THAT SUCKS (sorry for repeating the word, but it does). You can improve a LOT that text on the invitation mail, and give the guy who recives it another option too: Making a brand new account.</p> <p>I just did another experiment. I made a new user, and added an extra blog. Then I transfered the original blog to another account. Well, the extra blog is LOST IN NOWHERE'S LAND. You can't acces that blog becouse that blog dosen't exist as an user. So why the hell the sistem ask for a password?</p> <p>If you are upgrading the software, you can think in the option to convert a blog's name to an users, name. </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tag-cloud-widget-customization-option#post-411805 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 08:33:27 +0000 phoxis 411805@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>There is currently no option to control what tags the Tag Cloud widget will show.

I mean that when searching by tags in (at least) non-Latin WP you get the results from the categories.</p> <p>The biggest example. I have some 1300 posts in my blog and the majority of those are tagged (among other things) with the name of my city - Samara or rather in Russian - Самара. But if you open WP search by tags and print Самара there you won't get about 1200 posts with this tag (remember, you searched by tags and Самара is a tag). You'll only get a couple of posts that obviously had Самара as a category.</p> <p>What's the reason? Why does WP confuse tags and categories in a lot of non-Russian instances. On the other hand, the search reasults on say Шереметьево (one of Moscow's airports and again a tag in my blog) turns out results by tags. Where's the logic? But if I search by my tag Delta Air Lines I somehow get only results from the Russian WP and (if I am not mistaken) only categories again.</p> <p>It is high time WP team concentrate on bringing logic to search. People should get search results in tags (not categories) when they click on tags in blogs. And people should be able to specify (by maybe choosing from two options in search results) if they need to further bring same-tag results from all over the WP, or stay fine with only the same language domain. </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/top-posts-widget-should-be-changed#post-410185 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:31:14 +0000 whiskeytownpaddler 410185@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>From what I can tell, the Top Posts widget only factors in the past two days, which to me seems pointless.

By sending "bad username", you are letting a hacker know too much. Best security practice is a generic message. That way a hacker would, for instance, never know if the default admin account was still named 'admin'. With the current config, the hackers will know when they have the right username, and then will be able to focus on the password.</p> <p>Great work on WordPress though, no doubt a tremendous effort! </p>
