Where do I turn for help? August 9, 2007
Posted by Dave Lowe in : Help , trackbackTo continue on your quest for information on how to create your SFI Labs website, I took a page from WordPress Dot Com. They use a custom version of the same software we use here, just on a much larger scale.
Check this link for Frequently Asked Questions about WordPress.
There is also a great tutorial video for the free service on YouTube. It’s bout 45 minutes long, it discusses, literally, “how to blog” using WordPress Dot Com.
The best way to learn WordPress is to just jump in and start messing ith it. If you are on the hosted service, there is nothing really hat you can break. And if you do “break” something, you can always elete it and start over. You can select your theme from the available hoices. Post a few test posts, see how things look. Drag and drop different sidebar widgets in place. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
One thing to remember is there is a difference between “posts” and pages” in WordPress. A “page” is treated as a static web page and it s included in the navigation menu. I have built whole websites in WordPress with no “blog” at all. The “posts” are presented in a
newest-on-top manner on your main page.
You can also contact our staff if you have any specific questions. There is even a “WordPress for Dummies” book out there, and other “quick start guide” books.
But the best way, as I said, is to roll up your sleeves and get dirty.
