I got a few replies that steered me towards doing some type of redirect with .htacess. After some research and experimentation, I realized that it's not so muc...

I have been running a WP site for a little over 6 months now and I'm beginning to run into WP limitations on post styles (yes, I know about WP3's post types).

Hello All, I would like to know the best method for layering posts in wordpress 3.0 when you need to swap back and forth between structure and data.

Some Wordpress plugins (one is MapPress which uses Google Maps) use ampersands in their links but do not convert them into the correct HTML character entity: & This invalidates the markup and is very frustrating!

I am building out my first WordPress site for a client. I really want to use LESS for CSS and found a WP plugin named WP-LESS. Now, I am total WordPress newb, but it appears that this plugin requires me to use a function called wp_enqueue_style() to tell WordPress to process the .less file. I can't figure out where I use this function....
