Spell Checking in WordPress

When I put up my first WordPress blog about a year ago, I often had to go back and edit posts for grammatical and spelling errors. The grammatical errors could be greatly reduced if I had just spent a little more time and effort proofreading my posts.

The spelling errors on the other hand would unfortunately take much more effort to catch and correct. I admit it — I’m just a piss-poor speller and the older I get, the worse it seems to get. I’d really be lost without the MS Word spell checker, which saves me considerable embarrassment in both document creation and email writing. There isn’t a tool yet that can save me from the embarrassment of what I actually write, but that doesn’t really bother me as much.

Triggering IE7’s Phishing Filter

In an effort to expand my list building experience, I created a new site based around the eBay affiliate program and the “Mini Money Site” (MMS) model taught by Dennis Becker at the Earn1kaDay membership site.

Everything went together very smoothly, especially now that I’ve gotten the hang of the MMS building process. The site building software that comes with membership in Earn1kaDay really makes the whole thing go quickly. So I loaded up the completed site to my hosting account and proceeded to open up a page in IE7. I use Firefox as my main browser, but I still use IE7 to view my sites and also for the Google Adsense Preview Tool.
