For those who don’t like to answer the same newbie posts over and over, the one’s a newbie should somehow know to find on their own in the anal of Google, why not stop answering them and relieve yourself of this enormous burden?
Berating a newbie, offering some vague direction, being condescending, all this proves is your lack of understanding that you aren’t the superior being you perceive yourself to be. Be good, be helpful or don’t be at all. Nobody is twisting your arm. Nobody needs your brand of help. It’s useless.
And to newbies, stop apologizing for asking a question. If it weren’t for newbies, WordPress would be just another piece of unknown code that techies used and adored themselves with. And the blog authors who have glommed onto it to make a name for themselves would have no readers.
It’s not your fault if you’re not a coder or Internet savvy enough to know where to go for help, much less how to properly ask. If you can’t get answers here…helpful, polite ones…then by all means try another blogging solution. For most users, the others will serve quite well and are frankly less temperamental.
