  • Bonefuszz, assuming that you are using WordPress, when you are either editing a POST or editing a PAGE, there will be TWO tabs right about your TEXT type-in box. One is called VISUAL and the other is called HTML. By default, you’ll be in visual mode. Al you have to do at that point is HIGHLIGHT the TEXT you want to HYPERLINK and then click on the small HYPERLINK icon right above your TEXT type-in box. Next, copy and paste your HopLink code and Tags and click insert and you’re done. To HYPERLINK pictures, you follow the same procedure.

    In terms of any resources that further explains how to use the various tabs, you’re pretty much are going to be stuck with OJT!!!

    You should have created and saved your username and password when you installed/uploaded WP to your webhost. Use that login information and you’ll be good to go.

    Thanks a million ClaytonJames

    That worked like a charm; I vote that you get a raise!

    Special thanks for including the file and location… now the wife and kids no longer have to endure hearing Big Poppa screaming at an inanimate object called the computer screen.

    Now I can get some zzzs!

    When people who are not coders are seeking answers to issues they are having with WP such as this one, is there anyplace they can go to get an answer without:

    (a) Being vilified or criticized for not knowing code
    (b) receive an answer they can actually understand and implement and it works
    (c) having to read 3 to 4 posts and 2 to 3 links that lead nowhere

    This issue is a prime example… This person has made 2 posts and gotten nowhere. I’m having the exact same issue as this person. My sidebar looks like this:

    Category 1
    (3)
    Category 2
    (16)
    Category 3
    (12)

    I want it to look like this:

    Category 1 (3)
    Category 2 (16)
    Category 3 (12)

    Is there anyone on this forum who has the solution to this problem?

    Please note: I DO NOT know code

    ALL I want to do is make this one single solitary change. If you know code, please share your answer by including the following.

    (1). The exact file you are referring to, (i.e., style.css, header.php, sidebar.php, etc. ****Please don’t assume that I know which file or should know which file you are referring to; I don’t! I know of no other way to put it. And please don’t paste some code as the answer without providing any explanation.

    (2). The place in the file where the changes need to be made

    Like the person in this post, I can’t imagine that something this simple could turn out so complicated.

    This person lists a solution to the problem. but she might as well be speaking Korean: http://dev.randomland.net/2008/11/include-post-count-in-wp_list_categories-link

    There are a number of post in this forum and they all lead to nowhere.

    Does anyone have a workable solution for this?

    To make your header link to your home page…

    1). Go to your header.php file and locate this

    <body>
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://track3.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=&lt;?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/id-mybloglog.php’); ?>’></script>
    <div id=”wrap”>
    <div id=”header”>
    <div id=”logo”>

    2). Change the logo to this…

    <body>
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://track3.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=&lt;?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/id-mybloglog.php’); ?>’></script>
    <div id=”wrap”>
    <div id=”header”>
    <div id=”logo” onclick=”location.href=’http://www.yourdomain.com/Blog&#8217;;” style=”cursor: pointer;”>

    3). Click update and you’re done.

    Thanks for the input… I tried placing my Ad coded both above and below that code and it didn’t place the ads where I wanted them.

    I also tried placing the AD code in the Navigation.php file, both above and beneath, and that didn’t work.

    I’m looking to place the Ad code in the light TAN space, right below the HEADER. I created that space in the Style.css file by adding 45px to the Header space, see below…

    #header {
    overflow:hidden;
    position:relative;
    width:960px;
    margin:0 auto;
    height:180px;
    border-bottom-width: 45px;
    border-bottom-style: solid;
    border-bottom-color: #FAF0E6;

    I know it can be done because I see it on other sites, but they are not giving up the HOW TO info.

    1). Give your new Header image a name such as Header.jpg, Header.gif, Header1.jpg, Header1.gif, etc.

    2). Upload your header image to the folder where your images are located > pistolsatnoonish.com >blog >Themes > Your Theme > Images

    3). Go to your WB dashboard menu, find the “Appearance” tab and click on the “Editor” look for the Stylesheet (style.css)

    4). Copy and paste the Stylesheet (style.css) file into an Editor or notepad before making any changes. That way if you royally screw it up and can’t figure out what you did, you can simply grab your previous version and paste it back and you’re restored! Next…

    5). Scroll down until you locate this:

    #logo {
    background:url(images/logo.jpg) no-repeat;
    height:100%;

    The file may have a different name such as: header.gif, logo.gif, etc.

    6). Replace the logo.jpg image with image you just uploaded.

    7). Click the “Update File” Button and you’re done!

    Ok, kmessinger, thanks for the response. So here is my header.php file. where would I place the code?

    I want it centered in the info bar right below the header.

    Thanks in advance for your input and help,

    JE

    I have a question for ALL of those who post replies… I noticed in almost all of the replies, the assumption is that the person knows code. Virtually every answer says something to the extinct, ” just need to add your adsense code itno header.php file of current active theme.”

    Ok, we got that! But WHERE in the Header.php file do we add the code? You could cut down on the repetitive questions by answering the question so that a person with the same issue, like me can read the resolution without asking the same question again.

    I have the same question as, “xpid” for this Blog: http://findgenerators.net/Blog/

    However, just saying post in the Header.php does not help because it has to be placed in the right location.

    Thanks for the reply and yes it was the Permalink issue. WOW! Is there some type of QUICK START resource for newbies to WP. I just spent literally 3 days attempting to figure this out to no avail.
