WordPress TV
Did you know there’s a great site that features detailed video tutorials of just about everything you’d ever want to do with SiteControl (WordPress)?
wordpress.tv is full of useful videos that will guide you step by step through various feats of strength such as utilizing plugins, adding text widgets to your sidebar, turning a page into a link in the main menu, reordering your menu, and so much more!
Periodically we’ll be posting new videos from WordPress.tv right here on the WESCONet Web Services site. Found a video you’d like featured here? Let us know by commenting!
The Post Excerpt
Often, in the course of designing web sites, we encourage clients to take advantage of the built in post features of SiteControl (WordPress) to create a “fresh” home page with recent news, stories, promos, etc. However, many times we find ourselves with more information in a post than we’d like to display in the “teaser” on the homepage. Behold, the “excerpt” feature. This guide will tell you everything you’d ever want to know about the “excerpt” feature; what it is, how to use it, why its useful, etc.
SiteControl Help: Email Link
To link to an email address instead of a web site, in the “Link URL” field of the Insert/edit Link tool, put in the email address with the prefix “mailto:” (without the quotes). Be aware that often times using a link to your contact form is better than an email link since it allows you to make a note about email privacy, makes updating contact information a one page update, and reduces the chances for spammers to harvest your email addresses in plan text from your site.
