Yahoo Groups – changing moderators

Jul 6th, 2008 | By Eileen | Category: Networking

Do you need to change a Yahoo Group moderator or owner? Here are step-by-step instructions.
I’ve started around 20 (or more?) Yahoo Groups, including AJmarketing, wildartdolls, and ArtistsJournals2 (AJ2, now WAJ2).  When they become too popular for me to manage, I generally turn them over to new owners and moderators.
So, when people need to change Yahoo [...]

Apr 19th, 2008 | By Aisling | Category: Wordpress

Are you using WordPress 2.5 for your website, and you can’t find the Category ID numbers? They’re still there, if you know where to look.
I’ve written a complete article about this at my Sites that Soar! website. You’ll see more screenshots there to make the solutions simple.

WordPress tags – fixing globally

Mar 18th, 2008 | By Eileen | Category: Your website

Tags are great, but they can be a big headache in WordPress. For one thing, they’re practically set in stone once you’ve entered them.
So, let’s say that you threw tags onto your posts and–over a dozen posts later–realized that the tag would look better as ‘Portsmouth NH’ not ‘portsmouth nh’.
You could try to change [...]



WordPress as large-site CMS

Mar 18th, 2008 | By Eileen | Category: Your website

Since one of my websites has over 250 articles, navigation becomes a big issue with a new site design.
And, since WordPress was created as blogging software, it organizes sites by date, or by date within a category. It wasn’t planned as a content management system (CMS).
The problem is, date order and simple categories are [...]



WordPress – Be sure it’s current

Mar 14th, 2008 | By Eileen | Category: Your website

Yesterday I learned to update WordPress to the newest version that you plan to use, before setting up the new theme. (As of April 2008, I recommend updating to WordPress 2.3.3, not 2.5.)
One of my websites is on another server. And, like most good hosting services, they automatically installed WordPress when I [...]

WordPress for content management

Mar 10th, 2008 | By Eileen | Category: Your website

This website is run with WordPress, which is a free program. The design is based on Branford Magazine, which is called a magazine-style or newsletter-style theme. Branford Magazine appears largely based on Mimbo, another magazine-style theme.  (Both themes — Branford Magazine and Mimbo — are linked at the bottom of this page.)

Nov 28th, 2007 | By Aisling | Category: Your website

I’m about to share a Very Important Secret:
Everyone knows that Google is probably the most important search engine to be in. You’ll want to be ranked highly on their pages, to attract lots of visitors to your website.

Judging the book [...]
