Re: How do I change the order of article display? (Jul 23 2004 12:59 GMT) - I don't know if display of articles works the same way as weblog news entries but here is what I do for changing the order of display of my posts: In fact the posts are not displayed in descending order of date, bu they are displayed in descending order of ID. Open radio go to: weblogData>posts and you'll see all your posts. They each have a number which is the identifier of the post. |

Всемирный банк оценит последствия Киотского протокола для России (Jul 23 2004 12:59 GMT) - Всемирный банк намерен в сентябре этого года дать оценку экономических последствий для России от ратификации Киотского протокола. Об этом в беседе с журналистами сообщила директор Всемирного банка по России Кристалина Георгиева, передает Прайм-ТАСС. По ее словам, сейчас этой оценкой занимается специальная исследовательская группа. При этом представитель Всемирного банка отметила, что пока не существует общепризнанной в мире методики расчета ущерба от ухудшения экологической обстановки. Однако, по оценке Всемирного банка, потери мировой экономики от ухудшения экологии по сравнению с ситуацией, существовавшей 50 лет назад, составляют 90 млрд. |
