Working with WordPress can be challenging enough for new bloggers without simple editing mistakes ruining their day. When I tutor bloggers on the fundamentals of WordPress, I’m always struck by how many of them don’t understand some basic typical keyboard strokes that have become constant across all graphics and web software.
So now, getting back to basics, here are the top 5 tips for editing in WordPress.
To get the most exposure possible for your site you need to focus more on shareability than searchability, because your shareability automatically increases your searchability.
WordCamp, the boot camp for everything WordPress, is coming to the BCIT campus in Burnaby on October 13.
This year there will be two full-day tracks: one for Users and one for Developers, so update your iCalendars now!
Organizers Vanessa Chu and Morten Rand-Hendriksen are currently looking for speakers for both Users and Developer tracks.
You are a member of a group that has a WordPress blog and you want to contribute. But, you don’t know how to post on a WordPress blog. What to do?
Use this guide to get started blogging.
The administrator of your group must first give you a login and password to get into the “back end” of the WordPress blog. Go to the site itself and at the end the URL, type “/wp-admin,” ie. yoursite.com/wp-admin. This is a standard way to bring up the login page.
Currently, the hottest thing in the world of WordPress is responsive theme design. A responsive theme will detect what devices are being used to view your site and will reshape the elements to fit into the space in a way that reflects the site’s original design.
In olden times of the internet, this kind of viewing issue was about making a site friendly to various browsers: Explorer, Safari, Netscape, etc. Now, the increasing use of iPhones, iPads and other devices have forced designers to make WordPress sites visually pleasing on various screen sizes.
The key to responsive design is fluidity. Like water, the grids and images on a site move to fit a limited space. One way to determine from your computer whether a site is responsive is to grab the right side and collapse the screen. Does the navigation bar re-arrange itself? Do the columns stack up? Do the fonts keep their sizes? Those are all signs of responsive design.
Up until recently, mobile plugins have done the job of reshaping your site design to fit on a phone, but it basically reduces it to a simple stack of text boxes. But that look is just plain boring.
WordPress has just turned 9 years-old, which may not a diamond jubilee but is still pretty impressive.
