I’m so happy to get things going - you won’t believe it but one little slash did the trick - I guess you might believe it if you do coding… I’m posting this here so someone else might benefit: so the problem was that 1. the post titles in the “recent posts” and the post titles themselves were sent to a HTTP404 which meant the exerpt wasn’t expanding, and the posts couldn't even be read... 2. the category titles in the sidebar were lining up the posts they connected to but not expanding them… I went to the WP forum and found a recent post about category problems after upgrading from 2.7 to 2.7.1 - one answer suggested to check the permalink, so I checked the permalink in my blog and…ta da… the custom /%category%/%postname%.php that I inserted yesterday following Craig’s excellent guide was missing the / between the 2 % in the middle, my mistake… my excuse being that the font is very small in that WP line. That missing little slash kept everything frozen in place… I’m amazed! I can go back to posting now Fran PS. I just posted this under your article: "Research First Please" and then was led to this post by the link in my yahoo mail, so I did a copy and paste because my experience fits with what your saying: ask or go look for help!

Craig I fixed it! I’m so happy to get things going – you won’t believe it but

I’m posting this here so someone else might benefit: so the problem was that
1. the post titles in the “recent posts” and the post titles themselves were sent to a HTTP404 which meant the exerpt wasn’t expanding, and the posts couldn’t even be
read…

2. the category titles in the sidebar were lining up the posts they connected to but
not expanding them…

I went to the WP forum and found a recent post about category problems after
upgrading from 2.7 to 2.7.1 – one answer suggested to check the permalink, so
I checked the permalink in my blog and…ta da…

the custom /%category%/%postname%.php that I inserted yesterday following
Craig’s excellent guide was missing the / between the 2 % in the middle, my
mistake… my excuse being that the font is very small in that WP line.

That missing little slash kept everything frozen in place… I’m amazed!

I can go back to posting now
