Postby itstwoam on Sun Aug 10, 2008 8:45 pm

Heya Folks...

So, I've taught a few web design classes,and I'd be willing to offer some advice for anyone who might need some help getting started or if you have a quick question.

I would be more than happy to put together a class... well I guess technically, I'd "recycle" from my previous classes...

Me too!

What blog site do you use? Anyone use wordpress? I am in the process of setting a wordpress blog up and want to hear some reviews. I am still trying to figure out how to set it up as I have never blogged before and the terms are new to me. Widgets? I just got started and will hopefully have it set up and running soon.

Wordpress anyone?

Does anyone know how to organize your sidebar in Wordpress? It keeps arranging itself alphabetically, but that is not what I want. I had to add the word "Available" to get my etsy links to show up.

Things are coming along and I will be posting some crafty friends' work soon.

how are you listing things? you might have more luck using text boxes and other widgets. not sure how much you know about customizing the sidebar or if the theme you chose can do that.

feel free to email if you need more of an explanation. :)

I want to know how to make a link in someone's name to their website.
Is that embedding? If it's easy to explain.. please fill me in.

THANKS!!
