This new nifty feature  is a good addition  to  wordpress if you suffer from the TYPO disease or then simply type too fast for your own good . Word press will now proof read all those typos and spelling mistakes  and grammar as well.

And surely proof reading  will make your blog more professional. But bloody bloody Damn, i turned it on on my recipe blog  and BOOM i saw a lott of red  and so  did my wordpress proof reading app with lot of the unknown recipe ingredients immediately underline with red.

Solution turn off wordpress proof reading

But not so easy , as this was the first time i activated it it was hard to find to tun off , with my bad memory. I forgot – Here is here you go to de-activate it – > USERS  –> YOur profile ADMIN  –> Untick Proof reading

IN SHORT

Q:When I press Update – I always get a message that the “Proofreader” has suggestions for my post. The spell check is OK, but I do not like the proofreader’s attempts to change what I have written. How can I disable this ?

ANS:

Users > Personal Settings > Proofreading.

Obiviously you can see this post is the proof of my typos and this feature not being turned on ..but soon it will be ADIOS..good luck

Today i opened my g’mail and saw this message right  on the top “Gmail can import your old mail from xxxxxf@yahoo.com. Import now Dismiss”  Like this picture below

No yahoo mail is not closing ?

I instantly went into panic mode, is yahoo closing down , is yahoo mail closing down. Then i realised it must be just be Gmail trying to be more competitive  and getting you to use Gmail more ..so that they can leverage even more with their G+ etc  getting more users and friends added  to their Gmail account from thier yahoo mail new friends added  as a result of moving your yahoo email to Gmail.

Anyway with yahoo being in the news for mergers takeovers  and  change of CEO’s etc nothing would be a surprise really

There are sill many old posts on how to import your yahoo mail into gmail ,..

I had a job on integrating a  ”AMAZON ASTORE” into a self hosted wordpress site. I trawled the internet for ways to best put in the “amazon astore”  to match the theme and design of the blog. I cam across  this site “ Robin Maluau – rockstar now geek” and “ Kristella’s blog” that gave me some useful tips, which probably wont make sense to some  who are not  as much technically minded. Since they  have published those useful posts for getting Amazon store to work with wordpress and blogger ,  blogger and wordpress itself has changed  and got updated to new versions  making “integrating  you amazon Astore more easy” than ever.

I  had the job of updating  a wordpress website “www.australianpropertymarket.com.au” with a Amazon product store, so  i did a bit of research  and found many articles some useful most outdated and finally  got  the amazon store nicely working  with wordpress just by copying and pasting code in wordpress. Its that siimple now !! 

Integrating Amazon A store Into wordpress / Blogger

I will show you how to integrate  you amazon store in few easy steps. Make sure you change the theme  while making the Astore  to match your store theme colours.

Create the Astore in amazon and get the inline frame embed link like below.

Got to word press , add new page   click the html mode and  post the embed  code you got into the page .Got to page attributes on your right  and switch the page template column to “page template – no sidebars” so that  your amazon sidebar is the only  sidebar that’s seen on the theme. Some themes block this feature  to not have the regular sidebar option , and you might have to mess around further with the code. Here is another example  of  the Amazon  astore Narvey Horman website on a standard wordpress template but without the Amazon sidebar ( adjusting the  width and height dimension in the  inline embed frame code of amazon will get  you this page) . You can check out the example  link below  for the Full amazon astore embed page in the word press website on propertymarket website

Create word press Amazon page

Y0u can further mess around with the amazon code for width and height and change as necessary or then change the page attributes  to suit  where the “amazon page” goes on your links menu.

You can follow a similar way to get this “amazon page on blogger” . I will  post a tutorial  how to integrate  Amazon Astore on blogger   when i get some spare time.

You can check out the result here  at the property  market website  &  another example  of  the Amazon  astore Narvey Horman website 

All the best  and let me know if you run into any problems implementing this.
