In reply to: Archive… no link to, and dont understand how to set it upThe archives are made automatically with each post you publish.
You will have to write a Page using your themes archive template assuming the Connections theme has one pre-made. If not here is a good start.
You can also look for the plugins that are available for making your archives in various styles.

In reply to: Is this plagiarism?Here is a better explaination of Fair Use than Wikipedia could ever possibly dream up:
Fair use or fair practice is utilization of a portion of a copyrighted work “as is” for purposes of parody, news reporting, research and education about such copyrighted work without the permission of the author. Use of copyrighted works, or portions thereof, for any other purpose is not deemed fair use, so be careful! That includes copying text or scanning pictures from postcards, magazines, books or any other work. Scanning a photo of the Amazon Forest printed in National Geographic and using it without permission on your personal web site about your family trip to South America will most likely not be considered as fair use. However, if you republished the photo on your site to comment on the photo as it was published in National Geographic, this would most likely be considered fair use. You still have to credit your source by naming the author of the work on the same page. In any event, it is always safer to take the time and effort to contact the owner and request permission to use the owner’s work, and more likely than not the owner will be very appreciative and give you a favorable response.

In reply to: Closing WordPress accountLooks like you need to contact Bluehost and after you get access request assistance here.
Without being able to see your source code and CSS it’s impossible to work on whatever WP problems there are.

In reply to: Is mine the most boring blog on the net?Maybe this is obvious, but… have you submitted your site to ALL the search engines?
You would be surprised how many don’t. It may not help gain readership, only good content will do that, but at least it will be listed in places where it can be found.

In reply to: New domain: what to do?I recently did the same, abandon WP.com and co-located that blog with three others I have.
You have one of two options because of the editing limitations at WP.com.
Post a final post at the .com blog directing people to the new blog, or delete it.
Eventually Google will for the most part ignore the deleted blog and pick up the new one.

In reply to: I don’t know a thing please helpWhoever set your blog up should have given you the information you need. If they didn’t I would advise not relying on them in the future.
To get to your admin/dashboard it should be something like this.
“Yourdomain.com/wp-admin/index.php”
That should kick you over to the login screen. However at that point you need the user name and password. If that hasn’t been provided by the individual setting it up you have to ask them.

margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

It successfully loaded all my posts and comments.

In reply to: Export WordPress.com to Personal HostYou may also need to install a plugin from Technosailor.
Use the export feature on your WP.com blog then use the plugin to import it. I used it about a week ago with no problems. The only down side is anything in your sidebar (lonks etc) will have to be recreated in your WP.org blog.
A small price to gain all the options available with your own hosted blog.

In reply to: How do I put an ICON on the sidebar?It would help if you can provide a link to your blog so we can see what theme is in use. Each theme may differ slightly in how things are called up for display in the sidebar.
