You would need to contact the owner of the actual blog itself if it ain’t hosted at wordpress.com.

Also remember that websites hosted in the likes of the USA very likely have different laws to Sweden so although with Sweden it may be illegal to record the IP address, it may not be do elsewhere.

And no, the IP addresses normally ain’t public. When you comment, it is recorded so that the admins and see your IP address and that is it. This information is there incase you are spamming or doing something else illegal.

If you see your IP address posted publicly on a WordPress blog, make sure to see if it is actually recorded into the database or if it is just you that can see it. Some websites public the person IP address to the actual user such as “Welcome, 127.0.0.1”.

WordPress itself has NO responsibility for any blog hosted using WordPress software. You would need to contact the host itself which you can often find out by doing a reverse DNS lookup of the website IP address.

I hope I answered your question 🙂

Hi there,

One major thing is to make sure that you setup 301 re-directs from your old domain to your new domain. This way, you will loose no traffic and importantly, search engines will index the new link instead and update the old ones.

You might want to have a quick look to see if there are any plugins in the repo that will automatically setup these for you.

WordPress will be able to do what you just asked. While WordPress can have images added, you might want to look at some WordPress Gallery plugins for the images.

Umm. I still disagree with some parts of that (may just be me, but I doubt it).

The absolute vs relative links usage on a server is less for internal links for navigation and more for pulling up things such as images, css files, javascript code that is loaded at the same time as your page. The internal links in the navigation bar wouldn’t affect the server’s performance.

When they link to the same place, don’t see any differences at all. It still uses the same load, bandwidth etc to load the image etc regardless which way.

When a dns request comes from the pages code it creates a new connection to the machine instead of using the already open connection. That adds additional stress because of the number of connections each time a person loads your page creates so many unneeded connection. On lower traffic sites it isn’t as much of a problem but when you have 100 visitors a second and you have an extra 5 per one then you have 500 connections instead of 100.

This part makes some sense however still isn’t exactly true either. The DNS requests are cached and therefore a new connection isn’t made for DNS as it just uses the cache instead. Unless they are talking about something else there other then DNS, I would say there say that they are just placing the issue on that rather then what it is.

I see you said you are using your own server and if it got to the stage in which it is outgrowing that (by the sounds of it), you may wish to upgrade the server, get another web server hooked up or change your web server software to something like lite speed to help the load.

Don’t use freehostia, their speed is not the best to say it nicely.

Ingore my reply, it was all wrong. This is the advice you should take,
