Allow changes to be optional
-
These constant updates and changes without allowing blog users to opt for or out of them are really a pain.
1. First the infinity scroll, which is a pain and don’t allow you to know your page location.
2. Now the widget section has been redesigned. Putting them on a single row makes it more cumbersome to navigate between the widgets.
3. We also spend way too much time cleaning up div tags; there should be a button in the editing that allows automated div removal.
4. No control over subscribers that enable us to delete them allow spammers to sign-up. -
WordPress.com is on continuous roll-out. There will always be changes made to the software. There are as many as a couple of dozen code changes made in a single day. Nothing is frozen in time here so if that does not suit you you will have to consider other options.
1. disable infinite scroll > Dashboard> Settings > Reading
To infinity and beyond __ Scroll Infinitely
(Shows 50 posts on each load)
“save changes”2. Yes and … do you have your Dashboard screen options set up to display in a single column? I don’t. Mine is set to display in 2 columns.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/3. I don’t have that issue. Are you copying and pasting content? The result of copy and pasting from a word processor like Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
Note you need to click the kitchen sink icon #15 at the end of Row 1 to have Row 2 appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-1
Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
Formatting
_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/
4. Report spam blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/
The level of control you seek exist if you choose to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up a WordPress.org install. WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers. -
To move your content you need to create an XML export file of your content. It will not include the theme as they cannot be exported. See 3 below.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ or if you have domain mapping then update the nameservers http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/5. Transfer subscribers and stats. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
