No problem Wendel. I enjoy all the chat and learn something each time.

Ok on unchecking “Allow people to post comments on articles.”
Ok on Akismet plugin.

And Otto42, thanks for those links.

Even though all that is done, does each page have to have comments turned off? That is kinda crazy.

I guess if a person is using “blog” software, one should be wanting comments, but I have found that on a religious web page, comments or forums only set things for big arguments.

Been there, done that, don’t want to give those who know it all a free space to preach. That’s what I’m here for. hehehehehehhe. No seriously, I have had bad results with that kind of site.

I started back when bulletin boards were popular. Then ran one on the web, then had a forum on my site for a year or so.
It seems no one wanted to chat and discuss differences of opinion but just to preach their “brand” of religion without giving any one else the time of day.

Don’t intend to get into that again.

If I can’t get comments turned off completely, can anyone recommend another script or free software that will be at least almost as easy to install as WordPress? And of course, one that is not “blog”?

Thanks for all the comments here.

Well, I installed WordPress.

Immediately I began receiving porn spam notitications in my email. I of course, didn’t approve them but it is extremely irritating that some people can’t get a life!

What do others do to block the spam before it even comes in to be approved?

Anyone?

Ken

Thanks mores!

I’ll give that a try. Is there anyone who will help in customizing for just a deep appreciation? Probably not, but thought I’d ask. I want wordpress to look similar to my site at https://7times.org so I need a newspaper or magazine style theme.
I found a few but they are for those, it seems, who have a lot of experience with wordpress.

Thanks for replying my friend.

Thanks mlcarey1959. Now all I have to do is try to figure out how to use it ?? Newbie +++.
I do appreciate your abilities with WordPress.

Ken

mlcarey1959 … I certainly would like to receive your mock up of the wnyc.org/news site. It looks like something I’ve been wanting to use for our web site.
I have a Journal which contains religious material but want to present it in a ‘newsy’ kind of way.

I hope I can get the mock-up.
