F8 Lite Website Homepage

1. Yes. You could add it as a background image using CSS – although you may have to add a unique id or class to your home page to accommodate this.

2. https://quirm.net/2009/06/12/setting-up-a-static-wordpress-home-page/

1) I have no prior experience using css. Could you be more specific, and perhaps list the codes I need to take out and put in?

2) Thanks for the link. But, I switched the front/blog pages to iamgabeaudick.com/home and now my sites is down. I can’t even get into my wordpress panel. I tried uploaded the wordpress and f8 lite files using an FTP client, but that hasn’t worked. Do you know what I should do to fix it? Again, my site is iamgabeaudick.com.

Nothing in that article should cause you to be locked out of your own Admin area. These are standard WP options. If, on the other hand, you decided to change your site urls in Admin/Settings/General, that could cause severe problems. See:

to rectify it.

Thanks. That’s done.

Now, I want to put a contact form in my “contact” link, as described here: https://en.blog.wordpress.com/2007/04/23/contact-forms/. Here is what I’d like the page to look like: https://www.emersontaymor.com/contact.php.

But, after following the directions on the worpress blog, it doesn’t seem to have worked. How can I make these changes?

You’re probably best using a plugin. Try Contact Form 7 or The Secure, Accessible Contact Form.

Contact Form 7 is very easy to install and allows for multiple different forms but can be a little confusing then it comes to setting up a new form. The Accessible Contact Form requires a bit more initial configuration but the actual form implementation is very easy. It also comes with a whole host of pre-built form styles for you to choose from.

Both are compatible with WP 2.8

Thanks so much. Last things:
1) I know it should be fairly simple, but how can I make the font of the copyright text in the footer to be black instead of grey.

2) Is there a way to put a picture/document of my resume beneath the why on this page: https://iamgabeaudick.com/mylife

1. Edit style.css and change:

#footer p {
color:#CCCCCC;
text-align:center;
}

to

#footer p {
color:#606060;
text-align:center;
}

(#606060 is near black and will be a bit more restful on the eyes that true black (#000) on a white background)

2. You can add a text link to your resume (assuming it’s in something like a .doc or .pdf format) by uploading the document via the Add media tab in Edit Page.

The only way to make an image link is to grab a screen shot of the document and shrink it ( or grab a free icon image from somewhere like https://www.coolarchive.com/icons.php ). Then use the Media Library to View the resume document that you uploaded that earlier and copy its url. Next, upload your icon/screenshot image, paste the resume address in the Link Url field of the Add Image window and insert the image into your page.

Thanks so much.

1) Here’s a new problem. I made pages and no longer am using the real f8 lite home page. So, there isn’t a footer on the page that links from iamgabeaudick.com. Is there a way to get the footer (copyright….) at the bottom of that page?

2) Here is what I’d like to do with the resume. Is the way you described above close to this: https://emersontaymor.com/life/index.php

Bumpidy-Bump.

I’m lost now. My logo won’t show, and I haven’t been able to figure out why for the last thirty minutes. It is a JPEG and I saved it under Logo 2

Any ideas on why it’s not working?

Innovatist I believe I did the SAME thing you did when you changed the /blog page to be the front page of your website. I am new to wordpress and I working on the blog side of https://www.team-jennifer.com and I wanted to make the blog the main site, so I removed the /blog in the settings section and the next thing I know—all CSS is gone from the blog and I can’t access the back end area via the login!

What do I do?

hello all i am tryong to change the back ground from white to an image or just plain black… is that possible???

if the above mentioned is possible i will also need to know how to change the respective font.

thanx in advance

it might be a simple thing.
(Above) Innovatist has done it in his site: https://iamgabeaudick.com//musings/
