Hi mosey, thanks for responding. I dl Subscribe2 but it doesn’t seem to be the one I was thinking of. I’ve seen blogs where there is a box at the top of the home page that says something to the effect of “I see this is your first visit here, maybe you would like to consider subscribing”

Have i missed something? I’ve tried finding the sites i saw it on but luck as yet! ??

Okay, I think I’ve got it … I have to initialise TinyMCE and have to place some script into the “head element”.

Can someone tell me where I find this?

(Remember, I am not a coder. I’m just learning here. Laugh when I’ve gone!)

Well, unfortunately I need WYSIWYG. I’m not that adept at code and all I want to do is publish information. So an icon bar is cool for me.

But I do know what you mean. It’s why I’ve gone to a blog rather than a website. I had similar problems with my code.

Viper, you’ve got more than me (nil).

Okay, I have uploaded the tinymce files to a wp-includes/js directory.

I still see nothing. I have looked at javascript in Firefox and it is enabled.

However, one small thing, I have a lot of Errors in my javascript console, some referring to my website, other referring to other websites (ebay etc).

Have I missed anything? (I obviously have otherwise it would be working!)

Thanks again guys. I appreciate the time and effort in replying.

Thanks for the tip. The directory isn’t there. I’ll ask my host provider to install it for me.

(I’m glad it’s not just me going stupid!)

Thanks again.

Bill

dherren: thanks for the reply. I think I’ve ticked everything and I’m using FF 1.5. Java appears enabled (I’ve even used IE, enabling Sun Java) and nothing shows up.

My hosting company installed it for me, could it be the file hasn’t been uploaded? Would you know what file it is and I’ll check via FTP if it is there. Or should it be TinyMCE? (i.e. should I see a TinyMCE fle in the WP-Content or WP-Plugin directory?)

Thanks again

Bill

I’m having the same issue. No bar at all. I have tried FF and IE. Nothing. All boxes that should be ticked, are ticked.
Does 2.0 automatically have the editor bar?

I find the default editor lacking too.

As in, I don’t have it at all and I do have WP 2.0. Is there something I need to “turn on”?

But I’m also up for a better editor. TinyMCE looks good but I’m no techie and the install looks “interesting”.

Thanks for the responses for definitions of success. That’s what I was after. I know success is in the eyes of the owner of the blog but I was curious as to each different reason.
I’m putting together a WP blog which is for business people and I’d like to make monry from it. To know that it’s possible to make money through it helps.

Thanks to all responders. ??

This may be a bit late but I’d be interested in how people think their sites are successful. (This was brought up in the beginning)

Is it Visits, Downloads, Business gained, Reputation/community built etc etc etc.

This is not a challenge to those who’ve already posted. I just think it would add further value. Especially to people like me who are new to WP.

I have little technical experience. It’s all a steep learning curve here.

I really like what I see but I’d have no idea how to get some of the stuff done you guys have done. (mild applause ensues)

Just my $0.05 worth (we don’t have 2 cent coins in Australia anymore!)

Thanks for finding this for me.
