I can unlock my doors and return to disclosed locations.

My hosting people graciously solved this problem for me.

It was in the wp-plugins. Don’t know which one since I backed up and deleted all the plugin folders all from the server, but the blog works fine now. I think it was one of the antispam plugins. Today I backfill the wp-plugins and try them out one by one.

This is getting serious, folks.

Bleary-eyed from lack of sleep about this problem, I stumbled downstairs for my coffee and checked my email as I did so. A certain “Kathy Bates” berated me for my blog being all screwed up. You have to understand, my blog is fairly obscure, since I am still a fairly obscure YA writer, still pre-famous and pre-rich (as I keep telling my daughter, who wonders when I’ll be on TV and buy her the iPhone she wants). I emailed her back
saying I was working to resolve the problem and begged for her understanding.

This morning, issue still unresolved, I get a phone call. Kathy Bates on the line. She said that if I didn’t get my blog up and running to standard, she would make a special trip to Bali (this is where I live, in Paradise, but we still have our fleas and bugs here).

Look. I started blogging to make friends and fans. Not to attract psychos because my frickin’ blog is having some problems.

I and my family are moving to an undisclosed location until this is resolved.

I don’t have tech support here in Indonesia, I’ve downloaded the latest WP but what now? I’m not sure how to upgrade without the risk of losing everything. I have backed up with Bluehost, my server, but I have no idea where *those* files are. I’m a novelist, not a IT expert.

WP, hello? Can we get an answer here before I risk a whole lot of past time and effort and money? I appreciate the platform and all WP can do but surely this has caught your tech attention by now?

Doh. “I need the Internet to do most of my PR.” That’s what I meant to write. Should always proofread, even posts.

Same here. I’m in Indonesia. Tried different computers and different browsers. I have a novel coming out and need the Internet to most of my PR. I think there’s some sort of left-wing/right-wing/centrist conspiracy against me.

WORD PRESS: This sounds like a WP bug, please solve this problem!!!!

How bizarre. Now that I’ve posted this to forum, I’m back in to my wp-admin!
Sorry, folks, false alarm but I wasted an hour.

Ah so. Thanks, tomhanna.

Thanks,but that links to the Amazon website as a whole. I want an icon of my book on the sidebar.

Amazon, through its associates program, gives me the html for an icon of my novel, and clicking on that icon leads directly to the information on that novel. (THE FLAME TREE).

That html, which I can’t get to work, is (and I’m replacing the < with bracket)
