Word Press Tutorial | Adding Posts To A Page And Adding Links (Blogroll)

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 17:06:37 09/10/10
Here's a quick video going over some WordPress basics: adding a post to a category and then adding a link (formerly known as blogroll). In this video, we're looking at a site that has mostly pages as the navigation structure but within those pages are custom templates that list posts from a certain category. A nice way to (1) keep things simple on your site navigation-wise, but also (2) add new posts--and thereby new content--to your site rather than just adding a list to a long page (bad idea for search engine optimization).

A brief overview of publishing a post (or a page) in WordPress 2.9.2. I go over selecting a category (or categories), adding the title, typing in content, pasting in content (from Microsoft Word), uploading an image, adding an image title, an image caption, choosing the thumbnail size and selecting to have that thumbnail open up the larger image. Also deleting a post or editing existing posts. Ten minutes never went by so quickly ... ;-)

With shortcodes, you can add a quick Buy Now or Add to Cart button directly in a post/page on your site. You don't have to worry about putting in scary PHP code into your post, but just a bracketed short bit of code that will magically turn into a button that will let your visitor put the item directly into their cart. So it doesn't bring them to the product page, but puts the item right in the cart.

Rather than having code in your editor put it in a page template. Especially if the code is page specific. In this way, we clean up the page editing area and make it "unbreakable" for users who are in there adding content and don't want to have to not watch out and break code. We also got to remove a plugin by using WordPress core code instead of a plugin code to get that list of recent posts from a certain category.

Client asked, "Can I have different backgrounds on different pages?" Well, sure, but it's going to be something like conditional PHP code and CSS ("If on this page, show that CSS/background.") etc. Which of course is doable, but wait ... check the plugin directory and I find "Custom Post Background." Does just what I was hoping and there's even a friendly WP admin interface and better yet, it lets me use images from the Media Gallery. Gotta love WordPress.

If you paste from Microsoft Word directly into WordPress without using the "Paste from Word" button, you'll usually have some formatting issues. In this case, although the font seemed OK, the browser couldn't read some of the "fancy quotes" or em dashes and turned them into vertical bars of codey-gobbledy-gook. Here's how to manually clean it up and get rid of that nasty Word code.

The WordPress E-Commerce plugin is a powerful e-commerce/shopping cart plugin that works well and is easy to use. It's not as full-featured as something like Magento or Zen Cart, but it is a plugin for WordPress and that there is enough to at least give it a try. In this screencast, I walk through adding new products and adding video.

Depending on your hosting environment, you may have run into time-outs or errors when trying to upload large files in WordPress. It might be solved by a php.ini or .htaccess file edit, but that's if you know how to do those things and even then it might not work. Of course, you could upload using any FTP program, but that's again assuming you know how to do that. I wanted to stick with WordPress and get the job done. I used two plugins: myFTP and Add from Server. The video shows how it works.

Mailman (usually provided for free with a cPanel backend control panel on Unix hosting) does a good job with mailing lists. This is one-to-all email, not necessarily a newsletter that everyone in the group can use. Pretty simple software, but it works well.

A how-to screencast on intstalling WordPress onto a UNIX server using cPanel. Set up the database, set up a user, add the user to the database, upload the zip file, unzip, go to the URL, done. Sure, you could often use the automation Fantastico installer, but I like knowing my SQL DB names and passwords and having more control of the process. Plus, it only takes about five minutes.

Google Apps is a fantastic tool. You can set up your own domain (yourdomain.com) to use Google Apps. For example, you can have you@yourdomain.com as your email with a Google Apps email (works and acts just like Gmail). You can access it at http://mail.yourdomain.com. You can still use your favorite email program to get your mail via POP or IMAP. While you're at it, you can set up Google Docs and Google Calendar to work on your domain. This video shows how to set up your domain (DNS settings, A records, MX records, CNAMES, etc.) to use Google Apps. Sounds complicated. Well, it is. Here goes!
