And does anyone know by any chance, if I can do anything against blogs like that on other blogging sites or even against people who own that domain?</p> <p>Don't get me wrong I don't mind people referring to my posts at all, but I do mind if in their posts is nothing but the link so it looks pretty much like they cannot come up with something to say and instead use other people's work to receive hits.</p> <p>Thanks a lot in advance :) </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/editing-or-deleting-own-comments#post-416967 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:58:04 +0000 sanshiru 416967@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>I checked the support pages but couldn't find anything about editing or deleting comments, concerning comments oneself made on someone else's blog.<br /> Is there no way I can delete or edit comments I posted here on WP? </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/possibly-related-posts-isnt-working#post-411631 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:48:09 +0000 adamjohnson182 411631@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>I can't get the "related posts" feature to work on my blog.

All of these features have always worked for me in the past, but all of a sudden today, NONE of them are working. This problem affects only new postings of video, NOT video that has already been posted, although if you try to select any of these options for posting of video that you've previously uploaded, the options will also not work. Regardless of what settings you choose, embedding cannot be removed, the title is displayed over the first frame, and the default screen shot picked at random by Wordpress Video is what's being displayed when the video isn't playing, rather than the thumbnail chosen by the blogger.</p> <p>Has anyone else experienced this problem? </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpress-pages-wont-fully-load-any-solutions#post-416968 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:00:25 +0000 six11 416968@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>Ok, I need some help.</p> <p>I have been noticing for the past three days that my blog won't fully load.

But I have to constantly redo this for every single post I make. This is annoying and I have forgotten, only to notice it days or weeks later. Ugh.</p> <p>I would like:<br /> A) a way to make the entire site password protected. Just like I can with posts, but lock down the whole site from casual browsing. Plus, I set it up once and the site remains locked down, and I can change out the password any time I think the password has spread too far. I would LOVE to find out how to do this. Right now, changing the password on hundreds of posts is neigh impossible with the time left to me with two kids. </p> <p>B) a way to establish a default post password and have every post default to having the password turned ON instead of having to do this manually every single time. Hey, we use computers. This sort of "defaulting" ought to be easy. </p> <p>The reason I want this is because doing it manually every time is laborious and error prone. Plus, it's clunky for visitors to see a page filled with password blanks the first time they visit. Sure, they all go away once a password is accepted, but it's not a pretty sight. Plus it seems to reset itself every couple weeks so they keep seeing this again and again. It reflects poorly on me and I think WordPress can do better than that.</p> <p>The second reason is that I have looked at the one option WordPress currently offers to lock down the blog and it is unacceptable. It would require every user to create a WordPress account with a user name and password, have e-mail to receive confirmation, and they they have to remember BOTH things whenever they want to visit the site. Plus I have to manually enter them as users, which then gives them far more capabilities than just reading. It's terribly cumbersome for our older readers, who have trouble remembering the one password we ave now, and getting THAT entered correctly. Forcing them to create accounts to view the blog is not an option. </p> <p>How can I lock down my blog with one password? </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/blog-title-13#post-416794 Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:44:49 +0000 ashleydmurray 416794@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>Help! I used to have a blog through wordpress but stupidly deleted it. I have set up a new one with a different url.

I used the same one that I had before so now google is bringing up the old blog instead of the new one. All that is shown is "this blog has been deleted."
