[edit] FTP and File Management
Q: How can I get FTP access to my BlogSome site?
A: You can't. The owners of BlogSome have chosen not to provide FTP access to the site as a security measure. Templates can be edited through the WordPress backend, and images can be managed with the Image Manager Plugin.
[edit] External Editors
Q: What is the XML-RPC URL for my BlogSome site?
A: http://yourblogname.blogsome.com/xmlrpc.php
Q: What weblog editors can I use with BlogSome?
A: See the External Editors page for a listing with configuration instructions.
[edit] Templating Problems
Q: I can't make [snippet of PHP code] work with BlogSome. What gives?
A: BlogSome uses the Smarty templating engine rather than using the standard raw PHP commands of most WordPress installations. As a result, inserting raw PHP into a BlogSome template will have no effect. See the Smarty page for more details.
Q: When I include [insert JavaScript code here] in my template, Smarty tells me it had a fatal error compiling my page. Help!
A: Smarty interprets curly brackets "{}" as command delimiters. If your code uses curly brackets, wrap your entire code in a {literal}...{/literal} tag.
[edit] Writing a Post Problems
Q: How do I insert html into my Post? I try to use the HTML Source Editor and when I click UPDATE, nothing happens. Can I remove the rich editing interface?
A: Log into your blog, goto Plug-ins, and make sure WYSI-Wordpress is Active. If it is on 'Deactivate', click on 'Deactivate' and it will become 'Active'. ATTN: you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.
