Hey what’s up everyone, I am a contributing writer here at WPCandy.com for a couple of posts. My name is Patrick Algrim and I am the owner of hellyeahdude.com, I am sure you have heard Michael Castilla talk about our Web site before. Well, I am here to share with you a great trick to help improve your network. Creating an “About this Author” portion for your Web site is much easier than you may think!
For some of you this may have never even crossed their minds, but have you ever wondered how to add your own WordPress Post Editor buttons? (When I say the WordPress Post Editor, I’m referring to the area where you write your posts).
Well, yesterday it dawned on me that it would make my life a lot easier if I could, with 1 click of a button, add in <h1> and <h2> tags into my posts. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Hell yeah dude!
Alright, so with that said, I’ll be running through some steps with you to get your WordPress Post Editor (in Code view) to look like this:
Once upon a time, there was a Web stats application called Mint. “Mint is an extensible, self-hosted web site analytics program. Its interface is an exercise in simplicity. Visits, referrers, popular pages and searches can all be taken in at a glance on Mint’s flexible dashboard.”
I love Mint. Although it costs $30, it’s still simple, sexy, reliable, and easy to work with. But what does Mint have to do with WordPress?
In this post, I’ll be going over how to install Mint, install a Pepper (a Mint add-on), my review of Mint, and show you how it can work with WordPress.
WordPress by default is a blogging tool and works extremely well at it. After much debate the developers added the ability to create pages as well as posts, however WP isn’t built for advanced pages, it was only developed to say create an about page or contact page with simple text only.
If you’ve been to WPCandy before, you know we’ve already released a WordPress Reference Guide. Now I admit, it’s not the best or most useful WordPress guide for developing themes. That’s where The WordPress Help Sheet comes in.
WPCandy, in partnership with Liquidicity, is proud to present you The WordPress Help Sheet! We’ll let the PDF do most of the talking.
