Hi Brenton

Problem one: this is a post field which can be created on the Blog > Modify page. Not sure how you managed to create a nameless field but you should be able to remove it on the Blog Modify page...

Problem two: did you paste this text directly from Microsoft Word? Microsoft uses characters that aren't supported in HTML. If you're writing a long post you're best to write in plain text - ie - use Wordpad or Notepad - and then copy these into the text box on the Post > Create page.

Hope this helps!

Jay

First bit unspeakably helpful...

Second, well it was from word, and i thought that was the prob... but it wasn't like that when i first posted it. I then modified it and edited it... and after i clicked modify post it was the same.

I think it probably WAS down to the illegal characters introduced by MSWord - I guess they got swapped for their legal equivalents at some point?

My advice - don't use MSWord to write your posts. None of the formatting will be saved anyway, so you may as well use Wordpad or Notepad. Wordpad is my personal preference...happy blogging!

Ok, I'm new and all, but I CANNOT change my password!
What is your starting password?

Hi!

The starting password should be whatever you used to login. If you never logged in (ie - you were logged in automatically when you created your account) your password should have been sent to you - look for an e-mail from admin@orble.com or admin@my.orble.com.

Cheers
Jay
