Just be careful with using Word. It usually puts a lot of custom html code into it;s content which may copy over with a copy and paste. Most of what it adds gets removed by the wordpress software although it may mess things up.

Sue talks about it here:

I also encourage students to use Word to compose their comments, then copy/paste to the blog. Not only does this solve the problem of losing their comments, but it also helps with spelling/grammar!

@Dave, CoComment is a comment tracking tool. While it is an option writing is Word is probably the best option.

Technically speaking since the upgrade you can write a post in Word and then paste it into your blog post and it will be fine. It is now stripping out the bad code automatically.

It may be related to changes made when upgraded that you now have more problems or perhaps they are posting faster.

I’ve had the same issue with comments being deleted and thx. for the tips. It looks like my idea if typing a comment in Word and pasting is OK fro comments, not blog posts though. Bote: I used to use comment moderation for my blog and students still lost comments from tome to time as some would not show up for my approval. A questions and note:

1. How/where is cocomment?

2. I never had this problem in the sping of 2008, then in the fall of 2008, comments would be lost. Used same lab, etc. Strange.

Well you did an excellent job with the video and I told people in my network to pop past to check it out. Excellent work.

thank you so much for your comment. I actually used iMovie to make my video and the hardest part was converting it to quicktime because youtube only lets you upload quicktime format. Once I figured out the process it became very easy and fast.

I am very passionate about people that aren’t fortunate to have health care or money to even supply food for themselves and I think that it is important to let them know that you care in any way possible. Even as simple as spreading the word can be the kindest gesture.

Hi Talia – the Threaded Comments Plugin. It is my favorite plugin as opposed to Let it Snow which should be banned!
