Every Post needs an Author
September 25, 2008
Every post needs an author, unless of course, you are the owner, author, and keeper of the blog. If you would like to have your name on each post that you write, it is as simple as one line of code. I've written it for you (me and the wordpress authors), and given you the step by step below: For most templates you will want this in the main index.php, archive.php and category.php templates. You find these templates in the "Design" administration panel, under "Edit Themes". Select your current theme from the drop-down menu. It should be automatically selected for most people. Then … [Read more...]

Mandatory Upgrade
September 10, 2008
Ok - don't shoot the messenger! THEY said "Mandatory Upgrade". I would never, knowing you, ever, remotely come close, to being that bossy with y'all. Okay, maybe I would. And this is probably one of those rare (ahem) times. Wordpress 2.6.2 is considered a "Mandatory Upgrade" for a lot of geekaleze reasons. But at the end of a lot of confusing schtuff, this is what they say: "The attack is difficult to accomplish, but its mere possibility means we recommend upgrading to 2.6.2." And by attack - they do mean security attack. I read through the geekaleze, translating to english when … [Read more...]
Your Questions Answered: Changing the Font Size
September 5, 2008
A few days ago I posed the question on Twitter, "What do you want to know about Wordpress?" And surprisingly, people read my tweets because I got four good questions. So I'll start with the first. The Bloggess wants to know how she can change her font size on her blog. It's a good question.

It might also be that we can't stand Times New Roman 12, so we want to change it to Century Gothic 14. What ever it is that you want to do, regarding your font size, … [Read more...]
