Spelling
From the previous version of my last post, people with even moderate
knowledge of English could have easily understood that I suck at spelling
and that, consequently, I did not have a spelling checker installed at
this blog. Both of those two conclusions would be true.
So I decided
to break in and install something to help me and after some mishaps, I
settled on
Visual Spellcheck
plug-in. I am editing my posts in HTML anyway, so lack of WYSIWYG editor
support is not critical for me, more like the opposite. All I needed was
to install the plug-in, activate it in wordpress, install php5-pspell
package and restart Apache. I forgot to restart Apache at first and got a
cryptic error from the included fake pspell wrapper. Also aspell and
corresponding language libraries must be installed on server site.
Note:
after you have corrected all spelling errors in your text you must also
remember to press "Continue Editing" link or otherwise changes will not be
saved. I think that is a bug.
