Support Hours and Updates
August 26, 2009
In the coming week, the Support crew (seen among the lovely faces here) will be meeting in London to brainstorm new ways of providing you with the resources you need. While us Happiness Engineers are putting our heads together to churn out some big ideas, we’ll be closing our email support system.
Support will be unavailable from 10 a.m. EST on Friday, August 28 to 4 a.m. EST on Monday, September 7.
Of course, our team will still be monitoring servers and services while we’re out to keep you blogging smoothly and safely. In the meantime, we encourage you to read through the Support pages and make use of the forums, which are full of helpful users like you.

I really hope for new themes. I would like to see more themes like Silver is the new black, The journalist, I mean wider, big themes, for people like me who likes to post big pictures, you know what I mean. I have seen recently the new theme INove, beautiful, but unhappily to me, too narrow. Please consider my request. Thank you darling.
Another point to consider is the possibility of using one’s system fonts. I know is not easy but why is possible to do it with external programs like windows live writer ?
That’s it !

The single most requested feature I get is the ability to preview comments before committing to them and the option to return to editing them.
Oh and integrated “email this story”

Well i aggre with all here who need Support when we got WordPress 🙂 . Very rare situations we need support . WordPress is so good that im just 12 years and i love it and my friends to WordPress beat Any Blogg place at 100% .

Are you kidding me? How does an online service shut down its customer service for 10 days? And to do it in the name of improving service? That’s beyond ironic.
I have looked at the site and read the materials, but I need a human being to answer my questions and make sure that I set everything up correctly. I am a new customer who needs to get a web presence established ASAP. I am technologically sophisticated, but having never done before what I need to do, I need guidance to make sure I get the proper upgrades. I guess I need to go find another provider. Wow. I’ll go do that right now.

Hi Courtney. I’m sorry to hear you’re frustrated. You can find help on getting started, check out a list of available upgrades, and much more in the Support docs. The forums are a great way to talk to fellow users about how to get started, as well.

Hey people. I am new and I am not panicking already as someone pointed out in one of the first comments. I am just wondering – what do you do, or what can you do if you have come up with a blog name that has been taken apparently, but in fact it is not – By this I mean – the system responds as: Sorry, that blog already exists! but by checking the exact address… system shows:
The authors have deleted this blog. The content is no longer available.
You can create your own free blog on WordPress.com. 🙂
Any ideas!? (:

I’m sorry, but inactive or deleted blogs can’t be reused by other users.

I really believe that: YES, excellence should always be aimed but I really feel that most of the comments have been a little bit out of line regarding those guys taking a time to think outside their common environments. Remember that at the end of the day, this is a free service if you’re not paying for upgrades or something similar so, yo should be thankful for them to worry as they do without charging.
Success to all of you guys 😉

Hi all,
I’m hearing that you’re out from 8/28 to 9/7 – but this is 8/26, and no way to get support? I’m a brand-new WP user trying to develop a site, and running into some challenges.
Hoping you have a great time in London…but as my 6th grade grammar teacher used to say at 2:59 p.m., “The bell has not yet rung!”
Thanks!

More themes, and wider ones, the default themes are, indeed, too narrow.
Also, never knew you could email support, thought it was possible, but never needed anything, learned it all by myself and the support pages, mostly as reference for the html codes. I hate newbies.
