I am trying to shorten a post on my scams to avoid page and I have tried to insert the read more tag but it did not work. Or is it best to keep the posts full length and just add e
Success. I had to create the fanbox review as a new and separate page and then I was able to put it in a drop down menu under the scams to avoid tab.
Okay. This may be totally off the wall and might not even be possible but what about cutting the page off where you want to and just typing in Read More... on the next line and then hyper-linking the Read More.. to the page where you want to redirect them? Like I said, don't know if it can be done on your page but that's the first thing that came to mind. Just a thought. Great page by the way.
Thanks. I wasn't really trying to redirect it anywhere. I was planning on having that page as a review page for several different internet scams to I was just trying to make it look a little neater when I start adding more reviews.
Well I see that you've already tried the Read More... that would have been my answer. Sorry I can't help more.
I like the layout and readability of your blog. Very nice. I am sorry I am not able to help you on the question you asked however.
I'm wondering why the read more tag didn't work. Maybe they only work on a blog roll page? The only suggestion I would have is to make each post a new item on your drop down menu with only one full post or description of the type of information that will be provided on the page.
I like the full post. If you choose the option to show your recent post on your landing page then they should automatically shorten but if you are not going down that route I guess you'll have to do the drop down option. But I am no expert. It looks to me that you have a static front page??
I have the home page as the latest blog post but I had created this review on a page instead of a post. Since the site is still so new I only have one post which is the WA review. Its all still a work in progress. I appreciate your feedback.
ah ok, that's probably why the more tag does not work but you can always copy the info on the page that you meant to be a post and create a post with it! I do that when I have not a lot of content.

Don't shorten it, please. A couple of minor suggestions, 1) use H3 headings for each type of scam and 2) write a bit more about Wealthy Affiliate. The search engines like lots of content per post and you're doing great. ~Marion

I am trying to activate akismet and I keep getting the message we cant connect to your site your fir
I am trying to activate Akismet and I keep getting the message "we can't connect to your site. Your firewall may be blocking us" How do I resolve this?
Your firewall cannot block anything to your website.
Unless of course you are using a firewall plugin.
Is your website hosted at WA?
It is hosted here. Its a new site I just started in the bootcamp and the only plugins I have are the basic ones we are instructed to activate in the lesson. The only other one I added was the contact form 7 plugin but I was having the problem even before I installed that one. I am using the cleanr theme.
I am not familiar with that theme.
But I can tell you there is no firewall blocking akismet.
You are not trying to upgrade akismet are you?
No. I'm just trying to do the initial activation. I have never used this theme before so I'm not sure if that is the problem. I've submitted a support ticket so hopefully they can help me.
Great, they will take good care of you.
They solved a login issue for me today within 30 min.
Do you have a plugin that is your firewall ,if so de- activate the plugin to see if that solves the problem
If the plugin is the problem there are many other firewall plugins to try as an alternative
Barry
No. I haven't installed any extra plug ins. I just submitted a support ticket so hopefully they can help. Thank you for your response though.

I am unable to add links from Amazon.com and banners from Link share.
Finally had success with the Amazon link. I guess when I tried it yesterday I hadn't been approved yet, even though I had received an email and could log into the associate's page. I just got an email today saying I was approved and this time the links worked.
When I tried to add the Amazon link I followed the step by step instructions from the video lesson and when I updated it and tried to click on the link instead of going to Amazon it went back to my own page so I undid the link. On the banner I copied the link and went to my page to edit my site but could not get the banner to copy on my page.
The URL on Amazon can be a little tricky sometimes. Make sure you are coping the right portion of it.
gee ,can you give a little bit more info please. What's the url of your site, maybe its best if we look first? Also, when you are on the page, do you see the banner? Did you upload the image to the server?

Thank you for the advice Marion. I will work on those suggestions this week.
