Newbie to WordPress and i have just created a new website with wordpress installed in a seperate directory. I have index and htaccess file in root directly and got the links working for my main navigation. Unfortunately stylesheet underscore url is not pointing to default css. How do i fix it, pls? thanks

Sure – you can register the domain name of your choice, obtain a web hosting account, install the WordPress software and then export your entries from your WordPress.Com blog into your new WordPress.Org blog and you’ll be off an running. If you plan to purchase my book – there are clear step by step instructions for you on how to do all of the above. Again – good luck and happy holidays! >-

thank you lisa. is there a way i can take my blog to the dot org one with the same user name?, its so stupid that theres no option to delete those revisions. things make a little more sense now. but now del option for the dot com one is like throwing logic out of the window. i think i will but your book afterall. thanks for a straight forward response

take care

If you’re not using .Org – then you don’t have access to plugins at all. I suggest hitting up the WordPress.Com support forums with your question, as they do not have a way, within the user Dashboard, to delete revisions. Perhaps your question to them in the support forums may spark a new feature, you never know! Goodluck.

right now in plain english where is the plug inns installer? is it on the site, note im using wordpress.com not .org. will this be a problem?, and if i have to use .org in order to allow plug inns that just generates more questions like how the hell do i install wordpress from the dot.org site 8-|

i really though i was going to me on my way with wordpress. but it really seems to suck.

There’s a plugin called “Delete Revisions” – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/delete-revision
Install it using the built-in Plugins installer – and use it.

geting very very frustrated here, it would seem evident that i need a book like wordpress for dummies. or maybe not

does it say in your book on how to delete my wordpress revision post, and i mean does it really say it , not some text like use mysql + jargon jargon crap. lol as you can tell im very anoyed with this, wordpress really impressed me when i first found it , yet now i think its really stupid , why the hell does wordpress not have a very simple request implimented into the website .a delte revision button for example. too difficult for them to come up with or what? i mean i cant belive how such a simple action proves to be so illusive.
ive seen video on this yet they assume i have this thing called mysql. maybe i do i dont know, and if i do where is it and how do i run it , how do i use it .do i have to pay for it ect ect………

this very very simple thing i need to know so i can then continue my blog , which is slow becasue there so many revisions!!!! :(:(:(:(:(:((:((:((:((:((

god i hate it when such simplicity is converted to needless elusive complexity , im sure its probly very simple to do, but evey solution assumes i know or have prior knowledge of this or that, i await a simple solution in plain easy to understand step by step instuction.,:-w
