Jed,
Thank you very much for your very, very, VERY thorough analysis of the trials and tribulations of working with WORD PRESS. Your analysis scared the b'jesus out to me! ;-) Well, at least you tell a cautionary tale, and that was important for me to hear. I'll take a look at how you managed to perform the remote publishing procedure. I sure would like to keep a similar kind of an arrangement if I can. The idea of doing all my editing on-line strikes me as an incredibly stupid idea. But I guess if you don't have much content maybe doing it all on-line doesn't matter that much. Unfortunately, putting together a local server for development work and then getting one's "localhoast" web site to link up to the WWW sounds like it will involve a lot of finicky work and work-arounds. BTW, your MySQL comment - about the 7 second delay, I feel your pain. We have had similar issues that we had to resolve at work where documents scanned in were not exporting into our Content Management database in a timely fashion. We were getting MONTHS behind schedule! Turns out they were exporting slowly because the original programmers hired to do the job did not think to insert the indexes properly. As a result each document when exported into the DB2 tables performed a complete sequential search through millions, literally MILLIONS of rows of data for each INSERT. Once we figured out the snafu and got them properly indexed it was just a matter of seconds. It sounds to me as like you still might not be using the MySQL ISAM function correctly. It definitely shouldn't take 7 seconds. The fact that it takes the exact same time either way is a dead giveaway that the indexing portion is not working - IMHO. Thanks for your insights, Jed, Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
