I struggled for days &#8211; no weeks &#8211; over auto-updates that went bad, getting <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>spam<\/strong> comments and How to stop or filter them, What do I need to clean up next, Where the Hell is that logo at that I want to change, you know simple stuff that the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>computer<\/strong> whiz guys could have done in an hour?  <\/p>\n<p>It comes from the fact that the few really competent writers are now able to put out just about anything we, the many incompetent users, ask for.  &#8220;If there is a need fill it&#8221;, seems to be a common denominator of software writing.  I guess that somehow relates to the input costs are limited mostly to time for writers to produce something in the hopes that a multitude of uses want and are willing to pay for.  Anyway&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I use WordPress for this blog and it is really nice but at times frustrating to the max.  Add to that all the multiple plug-ins and themes, and widgets, and pages, and other things you can do and it gets a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>bit<\/strong> complicated.  For those of us that are  just &#8220;partially&#8221; computer\/software competent, I find it amazing that so many writers can do so much to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> it easier for us (the in-competent) to look like we know what we are doing.  Even in that praise there is a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>bit<\/strong> of reluctance.  They don&#8217;t always <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> the stuff understandable for all of us.  <\/p>\n<p>I am not saying all of us less-competent beings are good with what they give us, It is just amazing that they do provide so much. In my case, when I needed to fix a broken update, I had to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>search<\/strong> a lot of places but found some hints about fixing them and that lead to the fix I used for my broken update.  I also got several &#8220;spam&#8221;comments recently, so I started hunting and found a few fixes to plug-in that I hope will do the job of drastically reducing them?  We will see.  <\/p>\n<p>In particular my case of writing this blog is who cares whether it makes sense or is read by many.  Well actually I am interested but I don&#8217;t think it will <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>change<\/strong> my style or focus.  I do this because I want to, not because I am trying to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> money, tell an important story or anything more important than &#8220;it makes me think about daily things like I have never done before&#8221;, especially when you think about writing what is <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>going<\/strong> on.  <\/p>\n<p>Getting to the point, I note the fact &#8220;I don&#8217;t care if I <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> money&#8221; because one of the most recent &#8220;ping-back&#8221; comments was from a tweet made by some <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>person<\/strong> or <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>site<\/strong> about learn to blog and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> money.  I am not <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>going<\/strong> to credit the exact <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>site<\/strong> here as it appeared to be borderline <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>spam<\/strong> comments to me (skeptical old me), which caused me to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>search<\/strong> out the &#8220;limiters&#8221; for such things.  I have kept the comment because I find it interesting that some <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>person<\/strong> or machine grabbed a header from a recent post, tweeted the damn <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>thing<\/strong> and gives credit to my <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>site<\/strong> and then links it to their <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>site<\/strong> about making money.  DAMN I wish it was that easy.  If I ever <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> money from  this, I will for sure post it here.  <\/p>\n<p>[ad name=&#8221;Amazon-full solid banner-768&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The title occurred to me, as I completed several tasks, that should have been really simple.
