Great question! I know this is so elementary for some of us but something basic like this can be a huge challenge for someone else who is new. That’s exactly what happened today, I was asked if I have a video to show how to publish a post.
Well the answer is I do and it is inside the Blogging Starter Pack set of videos. To answer the question quickly and simply, this alternative from

I’ve had to merge a couple of WordPress blogs before – even merged Blogger into WordPress a couple of times. One of the sticky issues about importing is if you already have two established blogs. How do you merge things and keep things straight? One way is to import the posts from the old blog into one specific category in the new blog.
WordPress by default allows you to select which authors to assign

If you use WordPress, you know you get a ton of new updates. We just had one recently and version 2.9 is slated to come out really soon. From WordPress’s blog, they have said most people don’t upgrade because they fear their plugins will quit working. I can absolutely understand that part. That’s why they added a new feature in the plugin directory so users can ‘vote’ on whether a plugin works on their version

When you are using WordPress as a content management system, one of the first things that come to mind is how to organize your content in relation to the theme you are using. In many premium themes, you will find Pages being used to simulate a ‘blog’ which is what I do on this site. You will also find Pages being used in navigation menus. Naturally this causes confusion because these things are already built

What a fantastic question. Very common too since some of us have had our sites for a long time, before WordPress became popular, or we had our sites built when we didn’t know what options were out there. The answer to this lies in what type of web site you currently have.
If the site is built using static pages e.g. html, Kompozer, Pagebreeze, Dreamweaver, ExpressionWeb etc then you’ll have to manually copy/paste every single

You publish your web page or post to your blog and eek! What happened to the page? There are strange characters everywhere especially on Firefox but when you check your post or the code there’s nothing strange there. What’s going on?
Very often this is caused by the character type. If you typed in the whole post or the page chances are you won’t have this issue but if you copied and paste from somewhere

To a point, Photoshop® has become a verb. This is confusing for many newbies which will account for my strange title. Because of this misconception, people are led to believe there is a free Photoshop® out there when what they are really looking for is a free image editor software to learn how to edit their images.
PhotoShop® is not an action or series of actions but a registered brand name for

So you are told that if you want to do something (create a redirect or display a badge) all you need to do is copy and paste some code into a web page. You follow the instructions step by step and… it doesn’t work. All you see is the code you pasted onto the page. What gives?
99% of the time, it’s probably because the code was pasted into the WYSIWYG editor. That won’t work.

This is an interesting question. An affiliate program owner recently wondered whether she should host graphics for her own affiliate program on her own web site or an image host like PhotoBucket.
I host my affiliate graphics at my affiliate center at TechBasedAffiliates.com. I can understand managers getting worried about bandwidth issues. So far this is not an issue at all. Actually, it could help you figure out how often your graphics

When there’s a flood or a fire, chances are good you’d lose your computer and the most precious thing in it – your hard drive with all your work. That is one reason why I’m a big proponent of a dual backup plan one on-site, like your external hard drives of DVD’s and another off-site like Mozy which means your data is actually backed up to a place that is outside of
