Not Geeky!

It’s been a month now that I started this Blog. If there is one thing I particularly noticed it’s the fact that the tag “Start blogging with WordPress” is a popular one: it receives lots of hits. (And I might have disappointed people here) Most popular is however “You do not have permission to preview drafts“. A special reward goes to the Wordpress Statistics Post for attracting more lunies than anything else. Lot’s of comments, mostly spam. And I don’t know why.

The unanswered questions, taken from my previous post.

Q: So you have Tags and Categories. Am I going to make my Nokia N810 a Category or a Tag?

Quote from Mat, Co founder of WordPress: As best as I can explain it, categories are things you create ahead of time and only have a few of. Imagine them like sections of your site. The signs on aisles of grocery stores. Tags are one-off keywords attached to a post. You may add a tag to a post that you’ll never use ever again. Categories are meant to be permanent, tags are ephemeral.

I also found that tags are the words you would type in Google to find a particular article.

Q: What was the password of the mySQL database again?

I found what it was and I’m not going to tell you.

Q: How do I transfer the ownership of an article from one person to another?

At the, almost, the bottom of the edit post screen you can set the person who edits it.

Q: How about Britney Spears?

Apparently she made a comeback, but I’m not going to post about that!

Q: Will the PW videos be removed because of the copyrights?

This didn’t happen sofar, which is great. However the SNL Video did disappear.

[Update]However it remains to be seen how long this will last. Read this:YouTube is blocking all (premium) music videos to UK users after failing to reach a new licensing agreement with the Performing Right Society (PRS).

to be continued…

Really pleased with the first results.

I found a plug-in that allows you to encapsulate YouTube video, Smart YouTube, and that seems to work just fine. The Blog looks way better than the original WordPress theme. I might spend some time on finding an even better one. Better be careful though. Already managed to get completely rid of all the formatting…….

But still so many unanswered questions!

Why do my permalinks not work?
Should I have widgets?
How do I get rid of “Visit our friends!”
How can see the comments on the same page as the posting (without first having to click)?
How can I have one posting per page?
Help!?!
