Nancy Lee,
I went to your site and you might want to look into a plug-in called "Flash-Album-Gallery" Very nifty little plug in that creates gallery pages such as this site that I did - Bob Norris Networking Site

You need to make the editing box within Wordpress Larger, then you will feel more comfortable doing all of your editing in the Dashboard. To do this go to your settings panel on the left side; choose Writing, and in there you will see a a choice for size of the post box. Change that to about 20 or 30 depending on how wordy you are! Scroll to the bottom and click on save changes. Now when you go to write a post you will have much more room!

Bill,

Are you talking about previewing an article as you're composing it or timing its appearance on the front-page after you've completed the article? If you've got an article that you've written that you think should be on the front-page (but isn't) make sure the article you're looking for isn't in status "DRAFT" or scheduled to publish at a later date/time.

To do this, go to WP-Admin, and click "Posts." Look for the article you're referring to, and make sure it isn't marked as a "DRAFT" (it'll say "DRAFT" right next to the title.) If it is, edit it and click "Publish."

If it isn't a draft, but still isn't on your front page, edit the article and make sure that, in the upper right corner near the publish button, that it doesn't say: "Scheduled for" and have a date next to it. If it does, change that date (by clicking "Edit") to today, and set the time to the moment you're working on it, then click "Update post."

Now, when you reload your front-page, you should see your new article.

Good luck!

Where is the best place to compose your blog on Word Press. On the first page you can't even see what is being written unless I am doing it wrong. After you get a blog written, what it the best way to expose it.

Speaking of adding images to blogs, does anyone have good resources for free low-res stock images? Thanks! (istock is the cheapest I'm aware of)

Did a post yesterday on how to protect pages with a login in WordPress. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Robby. I figured it out. The two photos I put in are within the article and I would like to put them in the left margin. I'm still learning.

Scott, there's an "image" button just above the space where you type the post. It's a little hard to see but you should be able to find it.

Here's a link which describes what to do. Note this is for an old version of WordPress so it may look a little different, but it should get you started.

Question: I have a photo on my sight that I want to post alongside the article. Can't figure out how to do it. Any help out there?

Hey wordpress junkies. I own a small design company in Anderson and am looking for someone who can code websites in wordpress. We use In Design C3 for our design creations - but are still learning the back end of actually building the site and bringing it live on the web. If you're interested in discussing possible contract work please contact me at tammy@communitynet.biz. Thanks!
