 * I was exploring around in the WordPress settings and saw an option that read 
   something like, “automatically convert profanity” or somesuch. I thought this
   only applied to abusive comments on my blog, but today I saw that a word in one
   of my own posts had a row of **** through it (it was quite an innocent word, 
   BTW). Now I can’t remember where that option was so I can’t turn it off! Help
   appreciated.
