Experimenting with WordPress Features

I FTP’d the all-in-one-seo-pack into my WP directory with all my other WordPress files and activated it this morning. While doing that I stumbled upon this file default upload feature that was part of the existing theme and I think I know how to add picture files to a post now.

Yep it works. Now to add it to the main file somehow, somewhere on the page. The all-in-one is overlaying itself rather sloppily in my Manage screen though. It’s covering the Post Password and Post Slug boxes from the default instead of everything shifting and sharing space. I’ll have to play around with it and see if its what I thought it was.

Just downloaded a Technorati tag cloud plugin too. Hasn’t changed a thing though. Maybe the seo pack cancelled it out or something. Oh well, at least I can download and install in the right directory. Now I just have to optimize my optimizing tools (LOL).

I think I’ll have to make life easier on myself and buy one of those WordPress for Dummies books too.

    It’s better in the sense that it’s more poweful, has more features and widgets available to be used on the format etc. It’s one of many that let you have your own URL which is what I was going for. The look is more professional as well.

    But it’s not as easy to edit and add widgets and customize as blogger is. So, you’ll have to be prepared to do a little more programming to customize your site (more than I had anticipated) or hire someone to do it for you.

    Appreciate it AAPP. In the meantime I’m changing gears a little for the rest of the week and practicing making Java applets. Getting my artistic groove on a little and keeping my chops sharp for Java II next semester.
