Andy,

Though we cannot offer direct support per sey on WordPress, my company does offer web hosting, and we can install Wordpress for you on your account for free, so if hosting is part of the issue as you seemed to be stating in your post, sorry if I misunderstood your statement about self-hosting, let us know, and maybe we can help you out.

If interested, let me know off list at:

[email protected]

We could get you set up for as little as $5.00 per month.

Chris.

Hi Christopher -

I've used both Safari and Google Chrome with Wordpress, with much the same results.

I'm wondering if there might be an easier way to go. Self-hosting has been mentioned, but that sounds pretty tricky too.

I've had a look on the applevis website for any helpful podcasts on blogging, but could only find one pertaining to the iPhone app. I listened to it, but the presenter was having a bit of a struggle herself with one or two things -

Andy,

You've certainly done, by the sound of your post, an excellent job at researching things. I commend you for looking at the help pages. That's not something that a lot of people would do.

Let me ask you a question, sir. Are you using Mars Edit to post to your blog, or are you just using the wordpress web site with Safari?

If the latter, I'll see if I can help you, but I normally don't do it that way. This being said though, I can look at my blog and try to help you out, if needed.

Chris.

Subject: Wordpress help please


hi all -

I'm having a difficult experience with Wordpress.

I've created my blog account, and written my first post of introduction, and had somebody look at it for me. All that they see is a lot of what I am taking to be tags from the post, and not the post itself.

I haven't got to grips with adding tags to a post yet, so it seems like wordpress itself has just created them by pulling together groups of words from sentences. This is quite meaningless as a tag, but as yet, as I say, I've not got to grips with how tags can be added, changed or deleted.

The big thing for now is that my post doesn't actually seem to be available in it's complete form as I wrote it. I did click the publish button, and got a message to say it had been published, but all that appears to anybody trying to read it, is this set of 4 or 5 word extracts, that I'm assuming to be tags, and the word tag is onscreen, just before these jumbled extracts. These tags/extracts are clickible links, but clicking them just capitalises the text, and makes it larger.

I've read a lot fo the help pages provided by wordpress themselves, but am still stuck. Even to a sighted observer, this website didn't look very intuative.

All help apprreciated, and the more detailed explanation the better please -

Andy
