I also gave google a sitemap.xml referencing the blog as well as my main site just in case!</p> <p>So what is my problem you shout!!</p> <p>Well its how the results appear in google (not wordpress's fault I know)<br /> I get the ** indented listings ** and broadly understand why and why not they happen. They are fine.</p> <p>HOWEVER what I want is for when someone searches for "KOTHEA blog" or for KOTHEA that my site appears BUT WITH ALL THE SUB MENUS LISTED BELOW LIKE ON 'PROPER' CORPORATE SITES. ie the multiple urls to 'contact' 'products' 'news' like results for this search on BBC for example: <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bbc&#38;ie=utf-8&#38;oe=utf-8&#38;aq=t&#38;rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&#38;client=firefox-a." rel="nofollow">http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bbc&#38;ie=utf-8&#38;oe=utf-8&#38;aq=t&#38;rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&#38;client=firefox-a.</a> I thought just producing a sitemap made that happen but patently it does not as my kothea.com/sitemap.xml has been there long enough and google site admin thing says that it has been read accepted validated and read.</p> <p>any suggestions? Or is it just one of those things that google change secretly as and when they see fit? My friend at the same time did a similar thing with bynature.co.uk and their's appears how I want it to (at least for the main site)</p> <p>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!! </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-add-another-authoruser-to-my-blog#post-358038 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:47:56 +0000 leoruiling 358038@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>i would like to add another author to my blog..but how should i go about it.</p> <p>thanks,<br /> RL </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/missing-visual-editor-on-wordpresscom#post-343361 Tue, 26 May 2009 23:39:19 +0000 leosia 343361@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>For a few days now whenever I make a new post to my blogs hosted on Wordpress.com the visual editor is missing - only HTML view is available and there is no tab for the visual editor.

No idea why this started happening. The code I am putting in is copied exactly from the page WP Support about how to embed videos (with &#38;h for height and &#38;w for width). I've tried different browsers, clearing cache, restarting, etc. but it still looks this way. Clearly this is not a life or death situation but I like for all the images to be the same size for aesthetic reasons.

Until recently I've been using a Google Apps page to forward visitors to <a href="http://www.c22.cc" rel="nofollow">www.c22.cc</a> through to my blog at c22blog.wordpress.com. Due to some changes Google are making I wanted to take advantage of the domain feature on wordpress.com to get <a href="http://www.c22.cc" rel="nofollow">www.c22.cc</a> to go straight to my wordpress blog and be reflected in the address bar. However things are never so simple.</p> <p>After researching it seems that the only way to achieve this is to hand over nameserver control of my domain to wordpress ! Am I the only one that can see the limitations of this. I have a variety of cname, txt, and mx records that wordpress won't support. So here I am stuck between 2 none workable solutions. Has anybody been through this same situation previously, and if so how did you manage to get around the issue.</p> <p>Hope to find a solution... things like this shouldn't be so hard. </p>
