I can not log in to my Atmail Website. It only shows login error. There is no direction to retrieve my password. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Nick, I found Atmail hard to use and slow. I, too, had difficulty logging on. I submitted a support ticket as a result. On another note, when I used Atmail, my e-mails had all kinds of added code that interferred with the quality of the message. Bottom line: I don't like it. Cindy
Do I really need it then? I have bought a domain at namecheap and I battle to get the email transferred to wordpress. So I came up with this email at Atmail. Does it make a difference?
Well, since this never happened to me, I do not know how. Perhaps you changed your password by accident, or forgot it? Or maybe you typed it incorrectly, or deleted your account? One of them could be the reason.
It's something similar to Gmail, but instead, your domain name is inbetween the @ and .com . Just in case you want to make one, go to "Build My Website", then click Email, add your new email's name and done!

Nick, I chose to create a mail forward with Atmail. I suppose that when I need to use e-mail, I will do research into other services that are more user friendly. Cindy

There is a "read more" line that you can use on your pages, so how do I make this work? Say I want my 3 review pages to appear on one page with read more tags?
Savant, Your suggestion to create a page on which I paste a snippet from my posts is exactly the solution I came to for this issue. Cindy
I got them working on my site (with the exception of one wild child) that will break the post where you exactly where you want it to with the use of this command <!--more-->
PM me if I can help!
In your dashboard, go to settings, > reading, then under the part where it says "For Each Article in a feed, show" and then select Summary.
I am using Parabola theme, which allows me to adjust the excerpt settings for post snippets. You should find it under your theme's settings if you can adjust them.
Okey I was able to change it to summary. So what do I do now? Do I have to write all my reviews on one post then to break it up like that or is there another way?
If you want to break your pages up, use the <!--more--> tag, as suggested by Terea. That will give you a bit more control over the basic WP actions.
I have tried that but it does not work. I get the "more" tag on my page but what do I do from there? I have 3 posts on reviews so I want to put them on one page with the "More" button to seperate them. So I can go to my review page, scroll down till I find the review I'm looking for and then read on. How do I do that?
I would probably just make a page and then copy and paste snippets from the reviews, with a link to the actual posts. This way it would be like a sort of "Index" page to your reviews.
The problem with WordPress is that just about everything for a BASIC site is already configured by the theme you choose. Which is great if you are satisfied with that, but I like to be in control and often start from scratch building a site from the ground up - at least I know that every little dot and tiddle is exactly where I want it. The downside to that is hundreds of hours experimenting and testing and writing code.
I have found a wordpress theme that is suitable for a complete DIY coder, called BlankSlate, and a blank slate it certainly is. No I haven't posted anything with it yet, and it is not easy work, but it is the one theme where you have absolute total control.
In the mean time, I'd just make up an index page with an intro to the information and a link taking you to the post.
Nick they are called "Snippets"
You can set it up so that you have full posts on a page, or just a snippet of a post, (depending on your theme) you can adjust snippets to 25, 50 or 75 words. The snippet will end with "...Read More." Which will link to the complete article.
I was wondering, when I insert the (read more) after a few lines, I still see my article below a dotted line. Do I need to do anything further or just update and then preview. Wasn't quite clear on where the article goes, or if I am suppose to copy and paste somewhere else.
Your help would be appreciated.

Are your reviews pages or posts? That can make a difference as far as how I would go about what I think you are looking to do.
What I am thinking is that if your reviews are set up using posts, you can insert the read more as per directed in the blog above. Then make sure that each post is included in a specific category. Then you can create a link to the category in your menu which would show the posts with the read more tags.
Yes the reviews are posts. I will try this tomorrow and see what happens, thanx for your help.
Okay. Let me know if it works out for you. Will be more than happy to continue to help as needed.
