WordPress Categories – How To Set Them And Organize Them

WordPress Categories and Site Architecture

I have always had a more difficult time appreciating the finer points of setting up a web site.

That’s why I think this video and the ones that will follow are important.

How you set up your site and how easy it is to use WordPress categories are not fully understood by a lot of people, at least when you first start out online.

I include myself in that group and that is why I have a made an effort to really think things through on paper before going to the effort of creating a site.

This video is one of the steps in the process and it is important to understand how organizing your categories can really work in your favor.

So take a look and see how easy it is to get started.

I have a transcript on the way for those of you who prefer the written word.

In the meantime, have a look and don’t forget to “tweet”,”like” or “google +1 this post. Many thanks if you do.

At first I thought it was a conflict with the Thesis theme and changed and tested with the Magazine theme…

The problem persisted.

WordPress Widget – Text Widget

The Text Widget

I just made video #2 of the WordPress Widget video series.

You’ll learn how versatile this widget is.  It allows you to embed code from an affiliate network if you want to sell a product or service.

Depending on the theme you are using and the size of the sidebar you have, you can put in banners of different sizes and test to see what works best for you.

You can also create your own advert by writing your own html code.  Or you can have an advert written for you.

The text widget will take copy pure and simple if that suits your need.

Take your pick.

Just take in the video and see what the text widget can for you.
