I managed to get the gravatar part of the LJGravatar plugin running. What you need to do is just install the script, and then put in some code in the comments.php to have the image show up in comments. Okay, pretty simple. So now I have a gravatar. The problem, though, is now getting the LJ part to work. This plugin doesn’t seem to be used that much, so there don’t seem to be many people to ask for advice. I’ve tried asking on the LJ comm, though, so we’ll see if I can get more help with this. I asked some other people who use wordpress, but they looked at the code and didn’t think there seemed to be any problem with it. I also chmoded the folder to 755. So it should be able to create a new folder.

Actually, wordpress is pretty darn easy to install. And the plugins aren’t so bad either. The only one that has really been giving me trouble is identikit.
So far, I have installed:
Akismet: comes with WP; antispam
Brian’s Threaded Comments: allows you to have threads. However, you must set the thread depth level manually. It’s easy to install, but you need to replace the comments.php in every theme.
LJ cross-poster: self explanatory
Open ID: Allows you to use open ID.
Post levels: Allows you to set various levels of posts
Role manager: Allows you to create roles
WP-Polls: Allows you to create polls.
To install:
Some avatar plugin: There are several, and I am studying them
Comment email responder: Allows commenters to get comments emailed to them
Something to simplify updates
Some backup utility
Subscribe to comments
Any more suggestions?
