Not Geeky!

It’s been a month now that I started this Blog. If there is one thing I particularly noticed it’s the fact that the tag “Start blogging with WordPress” is a popular one: it receives lots of hits. (And I might have disappointed people here) Most popular is however “You do not have permission to preview drafts“. A special reward goes to the Wordpress Statistics Post for attracting more lunies than anything else. Lot’s of comments, mostly spam. And I don’t know why.

The unanswered questions, taken from my previous post.

Q: So you have Tags and Categories. Am I going to make my Nokia N810 a Category or a Tag?

Quote from Mat, Co founder of WordPress: As best as I can explain it, categories are things you create ahead of time and only have a few of. Imagine them like sections of your site. The signs on aisles of grocery stores. Tags are one-off keywords attached to a post. You may add a tag to a post that you’ll never use ever again. Categories are meant to be permanent, tags are ephemeral.

I also found that tags are the words you would type in Google to find a particular article.

Q: What was the password of the mySQL database again?

I found what it was and I’m not going to tell you.

Q: How do I transfer the ownership of an article from one person to another?

At the, almost, the bottom of the edit post screen you can set the person who edits it.

Q: How about Britney Spears?

Apparently she made a comeback, but I’m not going to post about that!

Q: Will the PW videos be removed because of the copyrights?

This didn’t happen sofar, which is great. However the SNL Video did disappear.

[Update]However it remains to be seen how long this will last. Read this:YouTube is blocking all (premium) music videos to UK users after failing to reach a new licensing agreement with the Performing Right Society (PRS).

Vloek! Before publishing I just wanted to see what it looked like and there I pressed the Preview button. Error message: You do not have permission to preview drafts. (I am using WP 2.7.1 and MySQL 5)

The last change I had made to the system was changing the blog url path, because I wanted the website to say www.notgeeky.com and not notgeeky.com.

Blog Address

The preview mode still prefers the old address though. So by taking away the www. (on the url with the error message) you can still see your preview.

Update:
It looks like it might be something else. Just a couple of minutes I tried to reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer (I normally use FireFox), and everything worked just fine!

So perhaps it’s a browser related issue…

[Update]
Note: sometimes it gives a different error message:
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here. You can search again by using this form…
But the cure (that is temp fix) is still the same.
