Ok cool, well my bf is going to help me write a plugin so that the mailing list can be managed from within my own website. Once we got it working I will have to read up about how to submit it for others to use.

So im confused, do this mail entry thing automate it or do i need to be manually adding people to the mailing list or what?

Or should i start whining to my boyfriend to write me a plugin to do it?

Yeah the RSS feed thing is fine, but that's not serendipity sending an email like the subscribe to individual entries. I don't want people to have the 3rd party way of reading updates I want them to get an email that says something along the lines of "there has been an update at www.melanieofsydney ...

Hello,

I am aware people can subscribe to individual entries but is there some way they can subscribe to get updates when a new entry is made? Ideally I'd want this as a side bar item and like a box i could also include on another php page on my website.

I do newsletters but I do them manually and ...

it was in the config.inc file there was a spare line - i was sure i overwrote that before - so now it's fixed!

then style change came from me accidentally over writing the style.css in my template

But it all works again! YaY!

i never changed anything to do with feeds, so their shouldn't be any header for them. Rest of the pages are fine or at least appear to be.

I got sick of look and re downloaded serendipity and replaced and reuploaded all the files i had locally except my index file wheich i checked through and the one javascript file. It is still broken!

I have no idea where the break is at all now as anything i potentially touched as been put back ...

so im looking for a line break before a <?php or after a ?>
even though the error talks about like breaks with <?xml

?

another question should every php file end with a ?> because they don't

I am missing a recent comment and one of my replies, and my style was changed so i am wondering if someone ...

I get the following error or very similar for all the feeds from my blog

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.melanieofsydney.com/serendipity/feeds/index.rss
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
^

It had worked ...

Thanks, the javascript one was all i needed.

I want to alter the code that is automatically put in when you use the URL button for making a link within an entry. I want it to also put in target="_blank" as generally I want the links launched in new windows or tabs depending on how peoples browsers are set up.

I don't know which file i need to ...

I added all matter of stuff to my layout, the hacky way by editing the tpl file for my custom style. You should just be able to whack it at the top of all that and it appear at the top. As for colours you can just make a custom css file and stick it in the same directory.

If you use firefox there are some awesome addons for changing css and seeing what style is applied where on the page by clicking, you can change stuff real time and save out the new files so you can add that to your template directory. I use the add-ons called EditCSS and Web Developer.

The godaddy auto install thing from their new software installer seems to work better than the old one and actually sets up an accessible MySQL database in the hosting manager. I installed using this for my current s9y and it works great and I hav added tables for my own use into it as well.

yes i wanted everything to the left. I went through and had to to put text align left on pretty much every style. I can't understand why IE would default to right.

But i got it all fixed now

thankyou.
