Comment by Billie Wells on May 13, 2013 at 3:26pm: I just got a domain name through Godaddy and hosting with Hostgator, pointed the nameservers to hostgator, and quick installed wordpress.org. I want to do a real simple site with ecommerce. I am just selling one artwork in different forms - single cards, pack of 10 cards, canvas gallery wrap, phone skin, and prints. I've done this but it's been 2 years ago, so I am rusty. Would you all recommend ready ecommerce or something else? I plan to use paypal. Thanks guys!

I accidentally uninstalled my Contact form on a new website I'm putting together (I meant to disable the form maker that wasn't working).

Is there any going back? Or will these site be contact-form empty? I haven't backed up my wordpress site yet :(

Comment by Andy Tabisz on May 1, 2013 at 8:40am: Thanks for the tip, Camden. I should install the Bad Behavior plugin too.

Comment by Camden Ross on May 1, 2013 at 8:02am: Hi Don,

It sounds as though the "QUIZ" is only validating user submissions -- before the comment comes back to the server (which doesn't actually stop the bot from going direct). Have you tried Akismet or something like Picatcha. I believe Akismet can integrate with Disqus, but I'm unsure about Picatcha.

I might also suggest (if you haven't done so already), to install the "Bad Behavior" plugin, since it may help weed out some of the culprits.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Don Current on May 1, 2013 at 7:31am: Hey folks. I could use some suggestions. I run a WP website with local news and information for my local community (shelbyvilletoday.com). Lately it is just being BOMBARDED with spam. This spam never makes it into the open because I actually use DISQUS for the real comments, and I have the default comment system set up to hold comments for review. I've got QUIZ installed as well to prevent spamming bots. From what I understand though, these bots are injecting the spam straight into the comments file. What can I do to stop them? The constant attacks are slowing my website down terribly and I'm tired of having to delete notification emails and spam comments. Any thoughts?

Comment by Kim Hall on May 1, 2013 at 7:24am: Kent, Thanks for the suggestion. I keep my blog ideas/drafts in Evernote now, so perhaps the best solution is to do all the writing there and then do editing when I am back to my home base.

Comment by Rob Orr on April 30, 2013 at 2:28pm: look under appearance > menus

Comment by Joanetta Hendel on April 30, 2013 at 1:45pm: Can anyone tell me how to remove the "Blog" button from my main menu? I want to blog eventually, but right now this is a static website. I'm using the TwentyTen theme.

Comment by Kent Sanders on April 30, 2013 at 9:17am: Kim, I have the same experience with the WP app on my iPad. It's great for viewing stats, etc. but it's not very practical for composing posts. At least, it doesn't seem as full-featured as the desktop version. As much as I like my iPad, the majority of the time it's quicker to do most productivity-type things on a laptop or desktop.

I don't know of any other apps that will post to a Wordpress blog, except as you mentioned, going to their website. At least for the writing, I normally write a post either in Word or in Evernote and copy/paste the text. Then I mess with the actual formatting, pictures, etc. on a regular computer.
