In reply to: Should I mark single post site with no-index?You could try that. You could also 301 redirect the post to the home page. You run the risk though that Google will drop your result entirely and not rank your home page.

In reply to: Need to change Log-inThere is no way to do that via the WordPress dashboard. You’d need to edit your database manually to do that.
The alternative if you’re not comfortable editing your DB, is, create a new user as an admin with the username you want and set the password. Then, logout, and login as the new user. Delete the old user and assign all posts, etc. to the new user (you’ll be prompted to do that).

In reply to: Linking words in blog to other websitesThere are several plugins out there that will do that for you.
This is an example but certainly not the only one. And I’ve also never used this one so couldn’t tell you how well it works, but go to the plugin repository and search.

In reply to: Comments questionWhy not wrap it in a conditional based on the comment count? If the comment count is greater than 1, display the horizontal rule, otherwise don’t?
You could also set a var as a counter and when the var is equal to the total number of comments (as you’re looping through) then don’t display it. That should happen on your last comment.

In reply to: Home Page has changedHi Daniel,
It’s actually working the way it should. As you post new content, it will always float to the top and old content will get pushed down and/or off the page.
When you’re editing your post, in the top right box you should see a check box to make the post sticky. Tick it and that post will stay at the top of your home page.
Hi John,
Thankor the reply. I didn’t think about that but yes, this is on a custom post type! That may be it indeed.
Cheers!

In reply to: Silence Is Golden HackIt depends if the hack was inserting content into your DB, then a fresh install isn’t likely to help. IF it was just writing stuff to your files, then a fresh install should work.

In reply to: Why is my Robots.txt blocking Google??I’d say it’s because you have
User-agent: Googlebot Disallow:in there, and even though you’re not explicitely defining something for Google to disallow, just having “Disallow:” may be discouraging Googlebot. Best to remove it or to replace it with

You can accomplish what you want by creating special “Template” pages then selecting your new page under “Templates” in the page editor when you’re adding or editing a page.

The easiest way would be to install and use a WordPress plugin such as Headspace or All in One SEO. They will let you add meta data to your posts, pages, home page, etc..
