Hi All,
Any one else noticed this, I got some periodic update for my desk top yesterday and it resized my full screen so when I click on maximize the right hand edge (drag bar) disappears. The old method of setting the full screen doesn't appear to work now.

Well, are we talking about full-screen which never had any reserved real estate or maximising? Can't say I've noticed any difference myself. Perhaps a screen grab would help us make more sense of your question?

I was wondering if anybody else on Win 10 clicked the full screen dohicky between the X and the - and saw all the drag bars disappear?? not a major whine but odd I only noticed it after I had an update yesterday

Are you using the "Metro" button - it's not supposed to be full screen per-se IIRC - think tablet friendly / the old "full screen metro apps"
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

Oh no! I didn't think I was, just checked and no!!

Does anyone here use the free wordpress?
I'm thinking of giving up my web site and just using Wordpress instead.
Would it be good for programmer/electronic hobbyist?

I heard rumours maintaining it is a real PITA.
Everytime my coworker needs to do wordpress-related work for one of our customers i can hear him cursing...
luckily for him that is seldom.

If you're planning on using code samples you might have an issue getting them properly formatted. I looked into if this was possible, signed up, then realised in order to install plug-ins like code formatting you need to pay.

I'm using it for my programming website. No problems so far.

Thanks Pete that's what I was looking to answer. I don't keep my site up like I should and there's no reason to really have it, plus I can't spare the funds right now.

I have been using free wordpress for 3 years and it's too easy to post code in there.
Just wrap your code in these tags:
[code language="css"]
your code here
[/code]
The language (or lang) parameter controls how the code is syntax highlighted. The following languages are supported:
actionscript3
bash
clojure
coldfusion
cpp
csharp
css
delphi
erlang
fsharp
diff
groovy
html
javascript
java
javafx
matlab (keywords only)
objc
perl
php
text
powershell
python
r
ruby
scala
sql
vb
xml
If the language parameter is not set, it will default to “text” (no syntax highlighting).
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Glad it helped 
Just let me know, if you face any issue while using Wordpress. Initially you might get some issues figuring out things like where to write a new post, where are the new comments, but later on you will get used to it. The wordpress dashboard is simple to understand.
Cheers!

I plan on using the free version, will I find after signing up that it's not usable for what I want?

I think it will work for your requirement. Just give it a try once.

Hi Mike!
Are you planning to host WordPress yourself on a dedicated server or a VM?
I tried it on my VM at 1&1 running Windows Server 2003 (root access) and gave up after much pulling my hair out and gnashing of teeth. An ex-colleague of mine said it was a cinch setting it up on his unix VM which kinda figures, as this is how this thingamajig was developed. I think it was PHP, MySQL and Apache Webserver.
What are you're plans regarding this?
Cheers!

Manfred I wasn't planning on hosting it myself was going to use their servers. I guess I haven't researched it enough yet. Still trying to make up my mind if I want to let my site go or not.

From what I've seen so far I'd have loved to use it, but I just couldn't get it installed.
Maybe using WordPress servers would be the way to go for me also. I'll have to look into that.
Do you by chance remember that guy from CP that had us throwing names around for his food/cooking blog?
I think he also used WordPress and "Bytes & Nibbles" was what he called his blog in the end.
I can't remember his user name though. Does that ring a bell?
Cheers!

I vaugly remember the food guy but don't remember who it was, got a hard enough time remembering my own stuff.
I'm going to do some more research before committing I'll let you know what I find if you like.

I did for a while and never had any problems - it was great for just being able to shove stuff online without worrying about it.
Code formatting - there were a couple of free add ons that did good hassle-free formatting.
My advice: It's free - go and have a play!
I moved off the free wordpress site and now host wordpress myself on my Synology but I only moved from the free hosting as I wanted to use my own URL
Which doesn't have much on it right now, as I lost all of my (paid) hosted stuff when I stuffed up & cancelled the account without checking I had backups

Wordpress is great just for about anyone as a website content management system. But maybe the real question is what do try to accomplish with having a site? If you want to generate a lot of traffic to your site and build an online business then keep in mind that Wordpress "as is" will not build an online business. It's missing a do-able start-to-finish BUSINESS process.
Surely, you can slog through the mountains of business building advice and tools that are out there. But for most WordPress users it all ends up being too much.
So, despite the dazzling display of Wordpress features, the reality for most (non-tech) people who want to create a web business with Wordpress is that they need to adhere to an easy-to-follow, all-in-one, proven, ethical webbusiness-building system (not a get rich quick scheme), tailored to the WordPress platform, to get (1) a significant amount of traffic and get (2) targeted traffic (example of such a system: WealthPrinciples dot net).
Otherwise you will end up having (and building) only a WordPress webSITE (or BLOG) but not a webBUSINESS.
