Hello Workshoppers and future WordPress Webmasters:

As promised in the Workshop here are some guides to help you if you get stuck:

All are downloadable pdfs and are for your exclusive use. Just click on the name and it will download. To save a copy for yourself just right click on it once it has been opened. A box will open. Click Save as and place it somewhere on your computer where you can find it.

Please do not make copies and share these with anyone who was not at the workshop with us on January 22nd.


WORDPRESS WORKSHOP GUIDE 1 – Planning Pages and Posts

WORDPRESS WORKSHOP GUIDE 2 – Embedding Video

If you have any questions please ask on the guest book at the bottom of this page. It has been designed to notify all members of the class whenever anyone makes a comment or asks a question. We will be using it to advise everyone who was in the Workshop of any additions to the Guides.

We would like this post to be a living and upgrading spot for everyone, so please make suggestions, ask questions. You will help us all come up with the topics and skills necessary to put together an advanced workshop once all of these skills have become second nature to you!

What you are seeing above is a Blockquote. Very handy for highlighting important things.

NEW TIP – How to make Choosing the HEADLINE FONTS on a Page or Post EASY:

Every Worpress website should come with 6 different Headline fonts in different sizes and (sometimes) colours). These are chosen by the Theme Builders to match the colours and other design elements and should look rather spiffy.

To make it easy to pick and remember the header options on your WordPress site, open Notepad and create a file titled it “Easy Headers html”.
(I’ve removed the left elbow < that goes at the very front of each of the 6 codes so they will show here. To make them work in html just add the < in yourself. (Remember ALL html code will start with < and end with > )

h1>HEADER 1

h2>HEADER 2

h3>HEADER 3

h4>HEADER 4

h5>HEADER 5

h6>HEADER 6

Whenever you start a new post or page just copy it into your post and decide which header(s) you want to use. Just delete the ones you don’t use. Its a nice trick to save design time. As the saying goes: “Let the code do the work!”

It will look like this on the posted page or Post or even Text Box (I’ve added some new text in the first two so you can see where you can input whatever you want):

I like HEADER 1

HEADER 2 is just the right colour

HEADER 3

HEADER 4

HEADER 5

HEADER 6

Re: STARTING YOUR OWN WORDPRESS SITE:

The free WordPress folk want you to stay there so they don't offer any help on leaving them to start your own site. To start your own site:
1. Pick a name and go into a Domaon website and see if its taken already. If not lease it. You don't ever buy a name. You lease it. Approx. cost is $10 - $20 /year.
2. Hire a hosting service to provide space for your site to sit. We use Justhosting because they back up every website every night. Approx. cost is $10 / month and a one time set up fee of $50 or $60.
3. Build a template (Usually called THEMES), buy one or hire someone to build it to your specs. Sue and I do this very well.
4. Once you have your theme activated, you're off to the races.

Does that help?

Hi Sue and James
Thanks so much for a stimulating Saturday. I will be trying out the tips you gave us soon.

If I decide to pay for a WordPress site, rather than continue with my free site (so I can use the plug-ins you were talking about), how do I go about doing that? I tried to find the info on the WordPress HELP site, but could not locate the process or the cost.

Can you point me in the right direction please?
Bette

Hi James and Sue
Your workshop on Saturday was most helpful in determining my new web site concept. I'm developing the page and blog structure now and have run into a question that I can't find an answer for online.
I'm thinking of making my first page a blog that is mostly about my paintings and workshops, but when we travel I also write a travel journal so I was thinking of making this a blog category and incorporate it into my art business blog.
The issue this brings up is a security issue. I don't want everyone to know when I am away from home, the address of which is available on my web site. Can I restrict access to this travel category so that people could only access this category by clicking on a text box perhaps? I don't want to get into passwords and I want all other blog categories public on the home page.
Thoughts?
Karen

Hello WordPress Workshoppers!

The first two Guides we promised are on our website and ready to be downloaded as PDFs. The rest will be added over the next day or two. Please come and have a look.

We have set up this Guestbook for those who attended the class. We will be adding the Guides here and notifying you when they are ready.

Since we had several people ask us about a follow-up Workshop, we are inviting you all to ask questions, seek clarification through this guest book as well. It is the perfect place to suggest things you may have discovered, helpful hints, puzzling code, anything about WordPress.

We will compile a list of most wanted information and practices for a follow-up next level workshop!

Please stay in touch.
