After months with little or no comment spam, I got hit with a bunch. In the newest versions of WordPress, right out of the box, I don’t see the comment spam unless it slides through, and those are very few. I use a plugin by ColdForged called Paged Comments, which allows me to view the […]

Quicktags in WordPress are buttons that sit above your editing box in the Write Post panel of […]

The WordPress Codex has a new look. Not a complete change, but a good start towards a new and more efficient online manual for WordPress users.
