Thanks anyways~

And not finding the dashboard.. finding pictures of the dashboard but no link.. handy that.

I went to Plugins and there was no Add New option. There was only Plugin Directory.

Okay, this is one of them: https://bestkeptsecretmuseums.wordpress.com/ I tried using the widgets on this site, but I couldn’t seem to get them to work. I’ve used them on my other sites, and they worked fine.

With an RSS feed, how do readers receive the information that there’s new content on the website? And when I look at using one on a site, what it asks me for, I don’t know what to put there.

Also, is there a way to make separate mailing lists or combine lists for readers of different blogs? I have several on different subjects and would like to let readers know I write on other subjects.

And thank you for your help.

And wordpress forums in particular are especially jargon loaded. They assume that anyone who asks a question can write CSS.

And I’d like to know what an RSS feed is, but I haven’t found an explanation that isn’t jargon-loaded that I can make sense of.

I would like to put an email subscription form on it, which I’m assuming is a plug in, but I don’t know where to get it or where to put it once I get it.

I need to figure out how to drive traffic to my blogs. There are several options, none of which I’ve been able to successfully use. Email plugins? RSS feeds? I don’t know what will work.

Oh, sorry, this is resolved, so no help is forthcoming.

I simply want to get traffic to my blog. I am not a code writer. I do not know what a plug in is or how to put one into my blog, although I have read instructions and tried. There is no definition of its basic function.

When I go to the forums, they require that I know jargon. I’ve tried to find out about RSS, plug ins, or verifications. I’ve tried to use them, but am not successful. Then I go back to the forum and of course, there is no answer.. I have to wait for weeks then I’ve forgotten where I was in the process. I follow links and get dumped on pages, then have no idea what to do next.

Is there anyone who can help me do what I need to do? Simple instructions like:
Go here.
Take this.
Put it there.
or follow this link: blah
then click on this: blah
then read this and do the following: blah

It takes someone who knows how to explain things to do this, I know. I have a lot of written material on WordPress and have no idea how to get it out there. I know the information is here but I need a translator.

Anyone?

Bueller?

WTF? I need someone who speaks English, not code. Is there ANYONE who can help me? And can they do it, like, while I need it? This is why I hate forums. Why can’t a paid service provide actual service instead of having random strangers post code?

“Install and activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress”

These are the INSTALLATION instructions. Installation instructions should not be comprised solely of the word INSTALL.

Jeez, forums: where those who know little occasionally attempt to help those who know nothing at some undesignated point in the future.

I hate forums.

You got that far?

I have been on wordpress a long time, but I am no programmer. There are roughly ten blogs that I write from time to time. I found this page but don’t know how to find it again. I just spent two hours writing and lost all of it because my internet provider is not reliable. I want to set my autosave to save automatically every five minutes. That will cut down on loss. I can’t find a way to do it in the menues and don’t have a clue how or where to do it otherwise. I’ve seen answers to questions that say to put in code, but I don’t know how to do that.

The idea of spending another two or more hours writing and having it all disappear is not appealing and having to copy everything just to paste it again and have it not upload is even less appealing. Considering the fact that I am using this as an all-access site for book writing due to my travel, I need to write a lot of material. Is there ANYONE who will help a non-programmer fix this or do I have to go without assistance because I am not tech savvy?
