In the Dashboard view of Word Press:

To Do List

This is just an online reminder for myself of things I want to check out this week.  For each of the following, I’s like to compare the manner of doing the operation in Blogger and in Word Press.

Inserting a Power Point presentation in a post and in the sidebar.

Peace

  I had a chance to express my political opinion  yesterday.  It’s great living near Washington, D.C. because there are so many opportunities to get involved in things you care about.
Here are the steps to upload pictures to a Word Press blog:

Thanks to Nancy and Patricia for their help in learning how to post pictures directly from Flickr. I chose a template, but some coding shows up above the picture.  Help!!!

Week 2

I just spent some time trying to get familiar with some aspects of Flickr. I had uploaded a few pictures before the course, but had labeled them all friends and family. Yesterday I uploaded 2 views from the balcony of my condo, one before the snow and one after. However, the first [...]

Categories in Word Press

This is a quick response to Bee’s helpful comments on a previous posting.  Actually I have learned how to create new categories, but it was just not an intuitive process.  Since most of us think of categories as hierarchical heading, for me, you should be able to create the category on on page or the top [...]

Communication Encourages Connectedness
