Comments on: My Thoughts About WordPress http://1footinthegrave.com/web-development/first-thoughts-about-wordpress-4/ But I'm not ready to put the other foot in yet. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:04:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Jim McClain http://1footinthegrave.com/web-development/first-thoughts-about-wordpress-4/#comment-4 Jim McClain Tue, 01 Jan 2008 18:00:51 +0000 http://1footinthegrave.com/web-development/first-thoughts-about-wordpress-4/#comment-4 Thanks, Nancy. You asked a couple of good questions. Let me tackle the information pages you mentioned. That one's the easiest. In the administration CP there is the <strong>Write</strong> | <strong>Write Page</strong> tab... <img class="alignleft" src="http://1footinthegrave.com/images/support/wp-write-page-tab.gif" alt="Write Page tab" />This is where I write those kinds of pages - where I have written my <a href="http://1footinthegrave.com/about/" rel="nofollow">About Jim McClain</a> and <a href="http://1footinthegrave.com/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow">Privacy Policy</a> pages. These pages, at least in my theme, do not get labeled with the "posted by..." tag. I also remove the check mark on <strong><small>Allow Comments</small></strong> so those pages do not get replied to or have the editor below it. I hope that answered your question. Let me know if you need more help. Even though I am very new to <a href="http://wordpress.org/" rel="nofollow">WordPress</a>, I'd be happy to try to find an answer to questions about using it. Your question about inserting images is a bit more involved. In fact, looking around the Net at different blogs, I can see that explaining how to wrap text around images in WordPress could help a lot of people. I think it deserves a whole new entry here in my own blog. So, look for it soon. I'll try to work on it today. Thanks again for your questions and comments. Jim with 1 Foot in the Grave Thanks, Nancy. You asked a couple of good questions. Let me tackle the information pages you mentioned. That one’s the easiest.

Write Page tabThis is where I write those kinds of pages - where I have written my About Jim McClain and Privacy Policy pages. These pages, at least in my theme, do not get labeled with the “posted by…” tag. I also remove the check mark on Allow Comments so those pages do not get replied to or have the editor below it.

Sorry about the prognosis - but God is good and will bless you if you look to Him. I am three years out from breast cancer, and having just gotten my youngest graduated, I started a business. My webguy is a friend - who is also an artist - so he's "out there" and isn't very helpful. My question to you is - how do I insert pics in my blog like you have above? He set my site up so I can blog when I do a shoot, then show some examples from the session, but he never taught me how. He spends endless time in techno jargon that just passes me by. What I need is A, B, C, then click, shift, enter (or whatever!) and the pictures post. Also, how do I add info to pages that don't look like blog entries - like I'd like to have my pricing in the info section, like he has set up the "About Us". That doesn't have the "posted by Nancy O on Dec 31" Your site looks great and is very easy to navigate. Thanks for any help you may be able to give and thank you for your service to our country.
