I'm having the same problem with my blog nomip.wordpress.com

Has anyone come back to you with a resolution yet?

Kind regards,

I need to bulk delete feedback as they keep piling up and are not removed over time

On the spam that Akismet catches you don't even have to click "empty spam" if you don't want to. Akismet will maintain comments it has caught for 15 days from the time they were received, and then it will delete the comment automatically.

If you get spam that slips by Akismet then mark it as spam (do not delete it) and over time Akismet will learn it's spam.

The spam feedback view really does not work well, I cannot filter or bulk delete either. I really wish there was a way to bulk delete spam feedback.

I tried setting screen options to 300 and then to 200 feedback and it still refuses to bulk delete. I have so much spam feedback (11K) - maybe that is the issue!

Please give me a way to delete all my spam feedback!

Reason is that I paid for the Custom CSS but its still so limited here in terms of the things I'll be wanting to be able to do on my blog to make to the most of it. I have a couple of days left to get a refund so that's not a factor.

Last night, I downloaded the Twenty Eleven theme and opened up the code. From there I was able to make some more changes to my own code here without needing to search Google. Its given me the confidence to consider the option and there are plenty of online step by step guides for using wordpress.org.

Thanks for your comments about making it reader friendly. I'll have a rethink about my approach.

IGNORE all the
bits in there. Those don't belong!

everything else is ok.

There are two elements to the css you'll be using.

1. pretty close to the top of your CSS file, you need to tell the browser WHERE the font file is.

That's the bit of code that looks like this:

<br /> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=NAMEofFONT' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'><br />

You can use as many google fonts as you want; just stack the link refs together at the top of your css file.

2. Then you need to tell your content what font goes where. There are TWO ways to do this, but if you're a CSS newbie, I'd recommend inline styling. FIRST, go to the plaintext tab of your post editing page. The code you will want looks like this, with the name of the google font you chose:

<br /> <p style="font-family: 'NAMEofFONT', sans-serif;">This is your paragraph</p><br />

(If your font looks like Ariel or Helvetica with no nubs at the ends of lines, it will be san-serif. BUT if your font looks like Times New Roman or Georgia, change it to serif. That is the font stack: it tells computers that can't find the font you want what default to substitute.)

Styling your font inline like that mens that you'll be more easily able to use multiple fonts in your blog.

If you only want one--if you want EVERY SINGLE PARAGRAPH to be the SAME EXACT font, you can just add the font-family code to the paragraph

<br /> p: {<br /> ...<br /> }<br />

in the master CSS file!

It's bad form to crop or stretch/squash images that were created by others. The CSS default is to match image width to the width of the space, but you can use CSS to set a maximum width too.

Also, don't stress out too much about the header height! We're learning that the idea of content "under the fold" not being read is a complete myth, and the new devices and screens we view the web on are changing that even more.

I've yet to find another student that has gone to as much trouble as I have with my blog because how you approach your "learning log" is up to you. Some do blogs, others keep scrap books.

For me it was all about creating something that feels 100% me and I think I am getting there.

Out of curiosity, what class is this a project for? You may be able to ask classmates for help, as well.
