In reply to: How to Access “Adminstration Panel” Using Blue HostI’m not sure this is what you want, but…
I think you may be confusing your hosting panel with your WP Admin dashboard.
Go to your default blog. Is there a log in button there? If so click it. Then sign into wordpress.

In reply to: Google AdsenseDepends where you want to display it on your blog.
I only have it in the sidebar, so I just copied the code and pasted it into a text widget. Then I placed the text widget where I wanted it just like I did with the “Recent Comments” widget, the “Archives” widget etc.
You can place it anywhere really, so do a search here and you’ll find more advanced answers for other types of placement.

In reply to: help please: Cannot remove huge amount of (spam) commentsOh, and don’t worry about the tech stuff in this case. Just allow yourself to trust the process.
Go here: WordPress.com, click the big green “Sign Up Now” and fill in all the info. Get your key and forget about the .com site. That’s what I did.

In reply to: help please: Cannot remove huge amount of (spam) commentsNo, I don’t think so.
I’m not sure of all the technicalities, but you use the .Com key to activate the .Org Askimet.
They’re two different blogs (you’ll probably never use the .Com blog), but you can only get the API key from the .Com blog. It’s just the way it’s set up.

In reply to: help please: Cannot remove huge amount of (spam) commentsWell, if I understand you correctly, you’re confusing your different accounts.
1. You have a name and a password for participating in this forum.
2. You have your log in name and password to access your self-hosted (using your own domain name) WordPress blog that you downloaded from wordpress.ORG
3. You have your log in name and password for you WordPress.COM account. That’s where you’ll find the API key.
Yeah, it’s a lot of names and passwords, I keep a list.
I’m new too, but if you can’t find your API on your .COM account, maybe you should just start a new .Com blog. Just to get the key. I’m not sure if this is proper etiquette or not. But, you’d get a key right away.

In reply to: Please Help!!! Page loading weird in Internet Explorer, arrgh!!I’ve had this problem in the past. Try validating your css. It will tell you where the problem is. For me, it was that something in my sidebar was actually too wide.
Search “validation” and you’ll find a link to a validation tool. W3Schools has validation tools.

In reply to: help please: Cannot remove huge amount of (spam) commentsOh, now I see you already have a .COM WP.
Check under your profile. Or, maybe just set up another account.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: help please: Cannot remove huge amount of (spam) commentsRenee,
First, I’m a regular user just like you who had to learn pretty much everything from scratch.
Second, be nice to the people here. They don’t get paid, they’re just volunteering. You’re going to have a lot of questions in the coming months, so don’t piss them off or no one will pay attention to your posts. Just a bit of advice.
Third, to get your askimet key you have to sign up for a wordpress.COM account. It’s different from the wordpress.ORG you use on a self-hosted blog.
You don’t have to pay or anything, you don’t even have to use it, but by signing up you automatically get an Askimet Key. It will probably be in the email you get sent when you sign up and I believe it will also be listed in you WordPress.COM profile. Copy it, go to your wordpress.ORG dashboard, and then put you key number in the appropriate form. Click “activate” for the Askimet plugin.

In reply to: It’s not Yahoo – wp-email/contact problemSo, maybe it is Yahoo.
I changed the email.php file in the wp-email plugin.
If anyone reads this in the future, here is the fix from the plugin author’s forum

In reply to: It’s not Yahoo – wp-email/contact problemoh, here’s MY SITE
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Yahoo Says This Is a Scripting ErrorOK…Maybe I’m an idiot.
I wasn’t going to have anyone register for my site. I didn’t even have a registration button. They still don’t have to register to leave a comment, just include an email address.
But, I think the reason wp-email and wp-comment form weren’t working was because since users (really me doing tests) weren’t in the database, they weren’t found in the domain. Thus the error log message.
Now I have a register button.
So, is it possible to add a line of text in the wp-email form (when some clicks “Email This Post” that would say something like “You Must Be Registered To Email” ?

In reply to: Yahoo Says This Is a Scripting ErrorI just went into wp-email plugin files and I think it has to do with htaccess rewrite. Just a guess. As you know, Yahoo doesn’t allow it and that makes doing certain things difficult.
