So over the last two week, I have spend my free time converting my site over to WordPress. There are several reasons for this. First, I really like the ability to add plug-ins to my site. I also love how easy it is to add new pages and manage the site. There are also the benefits of SEO with great sitemaps and xml sitemaps and more.
So I knew I wanted to make my site look very similar to the old one. I was happy with the older design, but I wanted some new functionality mainly for blogging. I was using Blogger to do my blogs, but since that service is no longer available how I was using it, it was time for something better. I really like WordPress as a blogging tool, but many people don’t realize how good it is as a CMS.
I basically had my old site recreated in a couple of hours, But my site is based on a 12 column grid, and I have my wordpress theme on a 16 column grid. This caused several formatting issues that i am still working out, but I got it looking pretty good.
Next I needed to add all of the pages from the old site. Since I am using the same grid system, it was merely a matter of cut and paste for many of the pages. That sure makes it easy! Some pages are still not done yet. I need new art and I want to edit the flash on those pages to a small size.
So there are more projects to be done. I will blogging about my updates as I go.
WPML and Genesis Footer
Recently we worked with WPML and the Genesis Framework and had a very hard time getting the Footer to Translate correctly. The two things we needed to do was “Return to Top” and the credits for the site design. First we were using Genesis Simple edits to change the footer, but that did not work…
WordPress “Add Media” button not working on 3.5 Fix
Though we have upgraded many sites to 3.5, this is the first time we have run into the problem of the “Add Media” button not working. When you click on it, nothing happens at all. But, don’t worry because there is a fix and it is very simple. You need to open your “wp-config.php” file…
