The FAQ
-
-
I can solemnly testify that wet paper bags stick to the blades of foils and rapiers [absolutely no joy]. I assume they would stick to sabre and broad sword blades as well. [I have lots of trouble even hefting the last two let alone putting them into service.] On the other hand, I find dry paper bags can be readily sliced into ribbons in double quick time [a minimal effort crowd pleaser for sure as they don’t parry or thrust back].;D
-
I notice there are no entries for “headers” or “customizing headers” in the FAQ. Questions about the sizes do come up on the forum from time to time. Maybe the header sizes for the different themes could be listed in the FAQ’s.

Podz, can we get the question about the security warning on the Write Post page in the FAQ please? I’m getting tired of answering it. :(
-
Sure – I’ll marshall the details and get it in there either later or tomorrow morning – it’s 10:30pm here so I’m starting to tire :)

Once 2.1 is released that’ll be there :)
I could write something but it would rely on a plugin and could also be subject to change. Once it’s all set though it will definitely be there. -
Pending the faq, I have a question. When you export your posts to a hosted blog from a wp.com blog, does this “empty” your wp.com blog? Or leave the originals on the wp.com blog with a copy (exported posts) on the hosted? Thanks.

Podz,
(1) This is just a reminder that instructions on how to export a wordpress blog from here to another worpressMU host would be most appreciated.(2) Questions on installing music players are a recurring phenomena.
(3) The “lost password” link https://chakresh.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword may be worthy of inclusion in the FAQs.
(4) Another worthy mention may be the “using the forum” link using the forum
-
1 – there may be something but until 2.1 is released, as I said to drmike, it is unofficial so is unsupported by us.
2 – okay
3 – there are other plans for that but agreed
4 – If I can find a place to link that I will. But it will not be a standlone.

Britgirl – the blog is not emptied. It stays just as it is.

How about the “Help! My blog has gone to all italics because I’ve put a more tag in between two tags like I shouldn’t have.” that seems to come up on occasion. :)

Podz:
Since the issue of podcasting seems to be coming up more and more, I can write you a FAQ entry on how to run a podcast from a free WP.com blog–or at least create the illusion of doing it–unless this is something else that will be changed with 2.1 or you guys are adding the PodPress plugin.
BTW, I hate the layout of the new FAQ page. Posting recent FAQ entries and popular FAQ entries along with a tag cloud and search box is useful, but only as an aside to the primary list of ALL frequently asked questions. Your actually making it harder to find information there.
Having a FAQ page where readers can look through ALL of the posted FAQs will help them not only find the questions and answers they’re looking for initially, but the answers to other questions that they hadn’t even thought to ask yet. Your current arrangement will push users back to the forum to ask questions you’ve already answered and posted.

A podcast faq would be cool – thanks :)
The faq.
The list was starting to get too long. Even I was getting lost and I wanted to put posts in different categories because of how the quesion could be phrased.We already use the Tags page, have tags here and by highlighting the new and the most used hopefully we help people out. If anything I need to tag more but that too has it’s downsides.
I have seen and used both examples of faq (hugely long ones and tag ones) and there are the +/- to both. Here I think we are better with the tags…
I could add ‘All’ as a tag but it would be the largest, attract the most clicks and as one long list could confuse as much as help.
-
A wordpress.com podcasting primer would be very cool. :)
But [**sob**] I guess there’s no chance that we’re getting the FAQ’s index list back [**sob**] and typing key words into the search box doesn’t produce results because how the questions are phrased is the critical factor when it comes to retrieval … wah … [she bangs her head on the computer screen]:(

“A FAQ is a Frequently Asked Question. This is our collection of FAQs, to get started click one of the topics below or use our search.”
What could solve anything is a link right there to a main page that lists EVERY question.
Podz, I have a perl script that will download the WordPress.com backup XML and then generate a list of posts by title (with tags).
