It’s a well known fact that my spelling sometimes leaves something to be desired, but in the world of modern computers, this isn’t actually a problem. However, you need a spell checker that works. Wordpress uses tinyMCE as its editor, which includes a spell check button, so spelling on the blog shouldn’t be a problem: but it is.

For apparantly no reason at all, the spell check module of tinyMCE fails time, and time again, but returns the spelling errors in the error message. After some googling, I came across http://ruxable.com/2009/01/wordpress-spellcheck-ssl-error/ and as a result http://kennyocracy.com/2008/10/02/solution-to-tinymce-fatal-error-in-googlespell/ which indicated what was wrong. The result is really quite simple. A matter of making sure that CURL is installed for PHP. A useful little fix for an annoying problem!

Well, I’ve had this “server” for a while, but haven’t actually utilised the possibilities of having a webserver on the Internet… After setting up and running WordPress on my research blog, I have decided to use a similar configuration here.

The trick would appear to be getting MySQL to run in such a memory limited environment. I have it running, but I’m not sure how effectively! Depending on how this goes, I may be able to justify upgrading this virtual server to have more resources.
