If I understand it, Sur.ly is a so-called URL-Shortener with which you can shorten a long URL (uniform resource locator alias Internet address) easily and free of charge. A service, here sur.The real internet address. It is a time -based service, so after a while, the link is no longer functional. xx Michael

Sorry, some information was just lost to me. Shortly: Sur.ly is a so -called “URL Shortener” with which users can shorten a long internet address (also called URL). After a while, this usually free service deletes the manually initiated forwarding and the link is no longer functional.

Haven’t heard of this one. Perhaps call on the WordPress ‘help’ forum and ask the same question?

I don’t think he can access that at the moment. I tried, and they would only help me with my own blog.

Good luck, I’ve been singularly unsuccessful with WP, accrssing their help via email is all but imposssible. I have been unable to get comments on my blog for months and I’m just told to ask other users for help which they’ve beeen unable to do.Maybe you’ll have more luck, I hope so.

It appears to be some sort of plug in, but if he had never heard of it or installed it, that is very odd how it got onto his blog.

They have a contact page which you can pass onto him, Pete.

I don’t think he is able to do that, Beth. And they will only let me contact them about my own blog.

It is a WP plugin that seems to be causing the problem, but Frank hasn’t intsalled it as far as I am aware.

It sounds like a SNAFU in their program. Good Luck to Frank in getting past it. Warmest regards, Ed

I haven’t had that problem, but, WP will not let me load some photos from the net. Sounds like foul play from someone. I’ve never read an offensive post on your blog, so there is something afoul. WP is like Facebook, extremally liberal and ran by a bunch of young folks; keep that in mind Pete.
