After searching for help on the internet I found nothing helpfull to my problem  so I decided to reinstall WordPress by uploading fresh files from clean WordPress setup folder and suddenly I saw .htaccess file in my wp-admin folder. Took a look and to my surprise I saw these lines:

deny from all
allow from xx.xx.xxx.xxx

A flashback came to my mind and the whole wp login problem dissapeared. These lines mean a WordPress admin folder protection. Nobody can access admin interface except user with the allowed ip. I have forgotten that I installed this security system on my blogs and paid an hour to solve that.

If you came here from Search Engines and haven’t found your problem solution at least implement this little wordpress security hack as it prooved to work considering my experience today.

Just create .htaccess file (or edit it) in your WordPress installation wp-admin folder with these lines of code:

deny from all
allow from xx.xx.xx.xxx

where xx means your IP address. If you want to allow more IPs to enter your admin interface you can add more lines with “allow from..” or use IP broad match like: allow from xx.xx.xx

• Blogger;
• TypePad;
• Sharepoint;
• Windows Live blog;
• and some other

So WL Writer is a universal program that can speed up your article writing and save time.

When you install WLW it’s very easy to add a blog. The wizard automatically finds the login path so you don’t need to enter technical information.

Provide your Username and Password information and you’re ready to go.

Windows Live Writer interface is very tidy and intuitive. You can compose your posts in WYSYG (what you see is what you get) and Source (html code) modes. To preview your unfinished article instantly go to preview mode. This preview is better than native WordPress preview because:

1. It is much faster. You preview post on your computer without loading page from internet;
2. The preview is over the whole blog home page and not limited to the post itself. This way you can see better the position and matching.

What you can do more with Windows Live Writer besides the ability to write your posts offline:

• Add images and apply special effects like emboss, sepia, black & white, etc;
• Insert links and its attributes like title, open in a separate window, ability to select the rel value nofollow.
• Spell check;
• Tagging and categories;
• Video embedding from Youtube or SoapBox;
• and many more;

If you don’t like Windows Live Writer there are quite many other desktop blogging clients available. Some of them are totally free and some are commercial.

A list of blogging clients from your desktop:

• Qumana (Windows, Mac) – Free! (doesn’t have connection settings so you won’t be able to login if you use proxy)
• wBloggar (Windows) – Free!
• Thingamablog (Windows, Linux) – Free!
• Blogo (Mac) – Commercial
• ecto (Mac) – Commercial
• MarsEdit2 (Mac) – Commercial
• Blogjet (Windows) – Commercial

In my opinion Windows Live Writer is the best choice for those who want free tool to write posts being offline and then publish only with a few clicks.

Adding statcounter code into your wordpress blog is a one minute task.

• Just copy the generated code into clipboard (Ctrl+C).
• Then open your WordPress dashboard and go to Design tab.
• Here click on theme editor and you will see all files associated with the active theme.
• Find Fotter (footer.php) and open it.
• Paste the statcounter tracking code just above closing body tag (see screenshot)

• Save the footer.php and reload the home page of your blog to see it’s working.

Notice. If you try to paste statcounter code like text widget under design tab you may notice that Statounter doesn’t track from where visitors come from and for all visitors “No referring link” message is displayed.
