For Dummies is on it’s way

Filed under: Wordpress for Dummies — Tags: , — Lawrence @ 1:12 pm

Well, I received an email from Chapters.Indigo yesterday that my first For Dummies book is on it’s way.

I love getting parcels in general, but I am also excited to learn something new.

Yes, I am a nerd. Last mammoth manual I read was the MS Access 2002 bible. It is sitting on my work desk with many tabs that I created, sticking out of the pages.  If reading the book didn’t make me a big enough computer geek, the tabs certainly do the trick.

WordPress for Dummies is only 408  or so pages so it’s not quite as long-winded as the 1500+ page Access bible was, but I think this is going to be a little less drag and drop than I thought it would be.  As I struggled through adding a simple signature pic, I quickly realized that I have a lot to learn.

As you can see, I have now added a share button, signature image, and a profile pic, but I have yet to figure out why it doesn’t add that photo to my comments.

Bare with me, or better yet, come laugh with me;  or at me if that is more fun.

  2. Hey buddy. Well, I know enough to get you started. It pretty much looks like this out of the box except I downloaded a different theme and added a couple of goodies. Just looking at other WP sites to get some ideas. Let’s get together soon. FNM needs polishing and Landslide needs to go to the studio. :)
