All right, my blog is driving me ’round the bend.
First, randomly, without rhyme or reason, comments are going to spam. I just retrieved some and I’m sorry if yours have gone there, I’ve been finding good stuff in there including one of Emma’s comments from Nov. 3. Geez. :/
Then, also randomly, without rhyme or reason, the visual editor doesn’t work so I have to compose all of my posts using code. ARGH. If any of you have any suggestions or thoughts, please offer them, I’ve tried everything: emptying my cache, trying to force load the text box in “visual”, disabling all my plug-ins one by one to see if that was the problem, etc. NADA. Stoopid html editor ONLY, making posting take twice as long with half the bells and whistles. Later today I am going to load a “Tinymce” plug-in and see what happens. If that doesn’t work I am going to remove the “htaccess” file. I am having this problem in ALL BROWSERS, too: IE, Opera, Firefox, argh. I am providing all this info in case some techie type is reading this and knows what I have already tried/am trying.
Yesterday I spent a bunch of time I didn’t have dinking around trying to figure out why randomly, again in all browsers, my sidebar was down at the bottom and my entire blog had shifted to the right! :/ So I am resizing all the images and taking them out, and taking my posts out one by one and blah. I finally figured out that it was the Amy Chew post that caused the problem because I copied and pasted it from a google e-mail resulting in a BUTTLOAD of garbage code just randomly showing up in the post and shifting my whole durned blog over and discombobulating the sidebar.
ARGH!!
Never paste anything into your blog from google.
At least I got that problem fixed, though.

(definitely not getting a blog)
Hi Sis,
Oh, she’ll do that, too.
Where would we all be without the overachievers?
Heart, perhaps you should post something about your woes on the Wordpress forum? I am using the default theme which only has one editor, so I have no idea what is going on. Did this dysfunctional visual editor problem start right after you removed the comment editing tool?
I used to get funny results pasting text into your comment box from web sites. Copying first into a text editor like Notepad seems to get rid of any code.
Mary and Sis:
Aletha, yeah, removing the tinyMCE thingie for the comments boxes did seem to cause the problem. AND I reactivated it and now have my visual editor back — hooray! — but it’s not working in the comments, which is great because it wasn’t really a good tool for comments. So whatever works I guess.
