My Posts Don’t Look Right

  1. Most likely you tried to cut and paste from Microsoft Word.
  2. The best place to compose your posts is in the “write” interface of your dashboard.  If you don’t finish your post you can always save it as a “draft” by clicking the radio button on the right under “Page Status”.  This will allow you to come back and finish it at a later date.
  3. If you have something you have already typed in Microsoft Word, this is what you should do…
    • Open your document and click “file > save as”.
    • In the dialog box that comes up choose “plain text (*.txt)” from the “save as type” drop down menu at the bottom of the screen.
    • Click “Desktop” from the “Save in” menu at the top of the screen.
    • Click the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen.
    • Close Microsoft Word.
    • Open the document you saved on your desktop by double clicking it’s icon.  (It will be named the same as your original document and will end in “.txt”.)
    • Select all of the text by pressing “ctrl + A” on your keyboard (or by clicking “edit > select all” at the top of your screen).
    • Go to the “write” tab in your wordpress posting area and click in the post composition area.
    • Paste your text by pressing “ctrl + V” on your keyboard (or by clicking “edit > paste” at the top of your screen).
    • Now you can go through and format your text as you would like.

Trouble Logging in (“enable cookies” message)

   Try this first: 

  1. Go to http://wordpress.com
  2. Press “F5″ on your keyboard to reload page.
  3. Once page reloads try to log in again on the right hand side underneath where it says, “Already have an account?”.
  4. If this does not log you in to your dashboard go to next step.

   Try this next: 

  1. Go to https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword 
  2. Enter your user and email and submit.
  3. Check your email for a brand new squeeky clean password from Wordpress.com. 
  4. Go to https://rockguild.wordpress.com/wp-login.php and login with your old username and new password.
  5. If this works click on “My Profile” in the upper right corner of your screen.
  6. Scroll down to the bottom right side of the page and change your password to whatever you want.  It can be the same as the one you had before.
