WordPress

I have a WordPress site and love it. I’m beginning to think there is nothing you cannot do on WordPress. The menus (navigation bar) are customizable You can choose what appears on the menu and what doesn’t. You can also make certain menu buttons under others. Like on KP, “fiction” is under “books” and “nonfiction” and “on writing” are under that. (hmm, I wonder why nonfiction is under fiction. I slip I suppose). KP is operated with WordPress. Just look at the bottom right corner of the page.

I’m not sure what you mean by a “linked page”, but if you explain it, I could probably tell you if they have that or not.

Yes! You can post to individual pages. There is some terminology you need to learn.

There is a “page” which is a page on your site that always has the same content – no blog posts get staked on it. On KP, “Contact” is a page.

Then there are posts. Posts will get stacked up on top of each other wherever you decide to put them. You can see this on KP under “articles”. You can have them go to your home page if you want, or you can have them go somewhere else.

The last term is Categories. These are what let you post posts outside of the home page. On KP, articles is a category. When KP publishes a new article, they will mark it saying that it belongs to the category “articles”. You have to create a new category before you can post to it. If you want to have this category appear in your menu/navigation bar, you will have to add it to there (very easy to do).

If you ever have any questions about how to do something on WordPress, you can post it on the forum at WordPress.org, or ask me. There is a good chance I will have had to go through the same thing myself.

@hope To create a category, go to a post. On the right, there should be a little box called categories. Click “add new category”. There are other places you can do it, but this will work.

This site (KP) has two menus/navigation bars. I’m not sure exactly how they did that. It might be a feature of the theme or it might be a plugin. The menus have both pages have tabs that link to pages and tabs that link to categories (remember, categories are just an assembly place for all blog posts on that subject). It happens that the has only tabs that link to pages (except maybe the forum) while the bottom one has only categories except the home page. It could very well be the other way around though or mixed up. With WordPress, you don’t start off with a navigation bar (except maybe a home page tab. I can’t remember). You have to add whatever pages or categories you want to go there. You can do this under appearance > menus.

Oh yeeeesssss!!!!!! Make sure you use WordPress.org
