This beginner-level tutorial shows how to insert an image using WordPress version 2.5 or later. Inserting an image using WordPress version 2.5 or later is slightly different than inserting an image using WordPress version 2.3 or earlier. Versions 2.5 and 2.6 are essentially the same. Version 2.6 is the latest version as of July 2008. Inserting an image that you have already uploaded to WordPress but haven't used in a particular post or page is actually a bit confusing in version 2.5 or later. You need to be able to find the elusive "Insert into Post" button. It's not obvious. There are many other settings and features in the "Add media" tools in the WordPress editing interface. This tutorial covers only the most basic aspects of uploading and inserting an image. less

This beginner-level tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications teaches you to wrap text around an image using WordPress version 2.5 or later. And it shows how to insert an image and align it left, right or center. In earlier version 2.3 and earlier of WordPress, it was necessary to use the Code (HTML) editing window to insert a bit of HTML (using cascading style sheets) to get images and text to line up right. WordPress 2.5 and 2.6 improve text wrapping. Additional HTML code is not necessary. Just use the Add an Image dialog box to set image alignment, and text wraps nicely and aligns well with the image. less

This is PART TWO of the Intermediate level WordPress tutorial that shows how to use a text widget to customize a WordPress sidebar. To see the final product of the tutorial in the Business Blogging 101 website and the HTML code used in this example, go to http://mcbuzz.wordpress.com and search for "text widget". Widgets are a very useful feature of most new WordPress themes. They allow you to add custom content to your sidebars with little or no knowledge of HTML or other code. The example I use in this tutorial shows how to create a custom text box with a short biographical note and part of that text is a link. In this PART TWO of the tutorial, I show how to insert an image into the same custom sidebar box, along with a LinkedIn profile "badge". You can use these techniques to put whatever you want into your own WordPress sidebar. less

This WordPress Tutorial follows-up to the tutorials "Make a Static Page Your Home/Front Page" and "Make a Static Page Your Home Page - Part 2". Tutorial Part 2 shows how to hide the link to a page that you use as your home page so that people aren't confused by the fact that there are two links to the same page in your main site navigation. That technique works when you have navigation in the sidebar that shows subpages AND you actually have subpages that are part of your site. If you don't have subpages, there is no way to hide the link to your home page because it will show up in the navigation as a subpage link. So, instead, this tutorial Part 3 shows you how to customize a sidebar using WordPress Widgets. This allows you to remove the page navigation from the sidebar. That way, you can make the home page a subpage and the link won't show in the main navigation. Confused? Forgive me! It's not as hard as it may sound. Check out the tutorial and you will see what I mean. less
