The plugin called “WP-spam free”. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-spamfree/ I started using it a few weeks ago and it stops the comment spam. The installation steps are pretty simple
- download
- unzip
- ftp to your wp-content/plugins/ folder
- activate the plugin “wp-spam free”
- go the configuration page (plugins -> wp-spam free) to ensure it is set up properly and change some of the settings if you wish

and you are done! Spam no more!

This means that your blog post now contains all of the Word code (if you want to see it, click the “code” tab when you edit or create the post), so your post may now appear in Times New Roman font or another font.  It may also be a different colour or size that is not consistent with your blog’s font settings. The Word code  conflicts with WordPress code in many other ways as well.

So how do you avoid this?  Do one of the following:

  • Type your post right into your WordPress blog account.
  •  If you prefer to write your blog in Word first then copy from Word to Notepad, then copy from Notepad to WordPress. Notepad is a basic editor and it does not contain any coding that would conflict with WordPress (or any other blogging software).
  • If you prefer to write your blog outside of WordPress and you don’t care what you use, then write your post in Notepad and copy from Notepad to WordPress.

WordPress contains a spell cheker (look for the “ABC” icon in the toolbar) and it contains tools to change the font settings if you wish (click on the right most icon – it looks like a keyboard).

1) Create a page with the title “Home”, press save/publish
2) Create a page with the title “Blog”,press save/publish
3) Go to options/settings
4) Click “reading” in the submenu bar
5) Under “Front Page displays”:

a) Click “a static page”
b) Make your front page “Home”
c) Make your blog page “Blog”

6) Save

You’re done! You know have a page named “Blog” which displays your recent blog posts and a page named “Home” which you write whatever you’d like on. When your website is visited the “Home” page will be displayed and the blog page will be displayed when they click on “blog” in your menu bar
