In reply to: blocking single spamming urlThe link you provided only showed a strange fan-shaped symbol and the message “Pingback: How to display your latest twitter tweet work-around for wp.com < teckline”. If that’s what I was supposed to see, then no, that’s not what I’m getting. Most of the spam is generic message that can apply to any blog, or advertisements for all sorts of stuff, like zune, or ways to increase blog traffic, etc.

In reply to: blocking single spamming urlThanks. I’ll try that.
Regarding the spamlog ping backs. I’m not sure how that works. All I know is that I’m now getting about a hundred spams a day to my blog. The only web site that hits the blog several times in a row is the googlebot site. The spams mostly appear addressed to previous blogs from the past, but they are the same pages as those accessed by googlebot.com.
Any enlightenment on how this works will be greatly appreciated!
And thanks for the assistance!

In reply to: Blog loading slowlyI just tried to go on to the dashboard at and got a message that said “Error establishing a database connection”, so I can’t even get to the point where I can check my plug-ins. I never got that error before, but now I’m getting repeatedly. And I don’t have any new plugins.
I am getting reports that others are having a tough time getting onto my blog.
Is there a tech support number I can call?
Dunno what else to do…

In reply to: Works in Firefox but not Internet ExplorerWell, I deleted all the code at the beginning of the post, and that solved the problem. I used the Paste From Word Function (thanks for pointing it out to me) to resubmit the post first, but it just brought the code along with it.
Is it supposed to do that?
Also, is there a technical explanation for why this was a problem for IE (which i hate, anyway) but not for Firefox?
Thanks in advance.

In reply to: code and gibbish in previous blog artcles after upgrading to 2.6.Well, it worked fine until upgrading to WordPress 2.6, but I’ll try it. Three questions:
1. Will it work in WordPad?
2. Can I insert links in either Notepad or Wordpad?
3. Will it work in WORD if you use RTF or simply text file?
Thanks for the advise and any answer.
