Something is amiss with CommentPress; the blog I set up for my presentation won’t display the posts. I’ve installed CommentPress before on other sites, so I’m assuming the latest version of CommentPress isn’t playing with the latest version of WordPress.
Ohhhhkayyyy. I’ll make sure I have the boring, predictable, but safe PowerPoint, but I’ll also do a blog post with all the links and plan on going live, with voice-over and live links.
Between the time change and the two-hour time zone difference (not to mention less than 72 hours on the ground between trips), I’m very confused… it’s a good night to cocoon with a salad, junk TV, and my talk. But the view from my room is wonderful — I’m on a high floor at the Hyatt in Denver, and it’s all very urban, glittery, and glamorous.

I admire those who have no problems with technology. I can’t get my RSS feeds or tags to work in my blog, so I surrender to that side of things.
Btw, I replace the “pen” with “draft” in my Jack Kerouc lede.
Lol
It gets better. WP 2.3.1 has a funky editing box that is smooshing my posts together. So now I have three half-drafted presentations scattered across three funky technologies… and it’s too late to back out!
Did you ever solve this? [A glance at the blog itself indicates you maybe didn’t.]
I had something similar going on and finally tracked it down to a plugin. I had a version of PHP Markdown that, when I upgraded WordPress to 2.3.1, ceased to display posts. I had headlines but no posts.
I upgraded the plugin (after first simply deactivating it to test my theory) and, voila, problem solved.
Look in your plugins and see if there are any in there, like Markdown, that intercept the output before it displays.
Good luck.
Tom, this is specific to the CommentPress theme — were you using that? I have it on a pristine installation of WordPress used just for this project — the site is fine with any other theme, won’t display posts with CommentPress. Apparently this problem is universal in the CommentPress-WP-2.3.1 configuration, though I agree it could be related to a default plugin. Institute for the Future of the Book supposedly has this on the docket to fix…
More bothersome is the buggy WP 2.3.1 editor! Have you seen that — largely with long posts?
