In order to reply/post again, you need to join the list. Sorry, but this is the only way to reliably keep spam out of all of our mail boxes. You can subscribe here: 2) You should download a more recent version of PolarBlog. That would be V1.4.0 3) Is your web server setup to handle PHP? Does it run other PHP scripts reliably? The point at which your output dies is where the script goes into PHP mode. Did you check your server logs for any message? 4) Create an info test script: : > I'm trying to install Polarblog 1.02 on a Linux system.

Message-ID: <41EB4400.2000205@josephzitt.com> I went to add the main PolarBlog site to my Mozilla Live Bookmarks, and saw that, even though there's an RSS feed, it doesn't trigger Mozilla to recognize it as an automatically subscribable feed (as described at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/live-bookmarks.html ). Is this something that could be added?

I had been using Personal Weblog on a previous server, selecting it specifically because it was easily embedded within a site design. The old blog is down, but looking at http://www.josephzitt.com/blog/ you can see the design in which it was embedded, consistent with all the other pages of the site. Looking at PolarBlog and trying to configure it, I don't see a way to place it within the consistent design of a site. Have I missed something in the documentation, or has PolarBlog not carried over this feature? From kevinp at polarlava.com Mon Jan 17 09:16:29 2005 From: kevinp at polarlava.com (Kevin L.

Basically that mean not using the supplied index.php file, although you will need some parts of that (i.e. session). And also working your way through the last parts of the polarblog.php file in the root directory. If you want the main blog window only in your middle pane, you will likely want to eliminate the setAccessoryDisplay() & getAccessoryDisplay(). That is what builds the right pane that you see with the calendar and various navigation links. If you want to use any of those components somewhere within your design, you will need to follow them "upstream" to extract the bits you want. -klp Quoting Joseph Zitt : > I'm setting up PolarBlog on a new server.

I've manually added this to my blog and also to the index page in the V1.5.0 that should be release is about a week or so. If you or anyone else wants this support for their site in the meantime, you just need to add the following to the "head" section of the index.php: -klp Quoting Joseph Zitt : > I went to add the main PolarBlog site to my Mozilla Live Bookmarks, and > saw that, even though there's an RSS feed, it doesn't trigger Mozilla to > recognize it as an automatically subscribable feed (as described at > http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/live-bookmarks.html ).
