    my bad. lifesfables.com. i’m opening firefox for firebug right now.

    I’m looking at it right now and it’s not in duplicate.

    Assuming there is no theme option for it (which is most likely)….

    Nav menu-You’ll have to find a plugin that allows a custom horizontal nav menu. You’ll have to somehow make a widget area and put it where you want the menu. The bigger question is where you want the menu. Underneath the user login I think is a piece of cake.

    yeah, where do you want the menu to be?

    What did you mean by ‘dashboard’. Are you talking about the wordpress dashboard?

    site name?

    and

    how are you displaying these videos? are you embedding them all or what?

    dangit, I don’t see why it’s not working. I fixed the way I wrote the CSS I’m using a child theme. nothing could be canceling it out. Any more possibilities/guesses off the top of your head that I could be doing wrong?

    Ignore the previous post. Great. The link was pretty good. I now know I have to add a CSS class.

    so

    .about{
    color:FF6666 }

    it didn’t change the color of the link. It’s still grey. Is there some kind of CSS thing I have to write to tell it to tell the color of the text or the link to be something else? Thanks very much for the help!

    ok, i found

    #access .menu, {
      border: none;
    }

    and underneath below a list of things this

    serif;
    		text-transform: uppercase;
    		letter-spacing: .1em;
    	}
    	.meta-prep, .meta-sep, .entry-utility-prep {
    		text-transform: lowercase;
    		color: #a0a0a0;
    		font-size: 90%;
    		letter-spacing: normal;
    	}

    How do I assign either the text or the links to certain colors?

    Edit. deleted duplicate post

    I can’t use date range to do this because I use post date field to indicate post content writing date(maybe several years ago) not posting date.

    Aren’t posts posted at the post date? What I mean is, doesn’t it say ‘Publish’ and then the date you want it to be published? So that would mean the date you assigned that you wrote it on is the date it was posted.

    That means when exporting you should put the date range of the newest posts.

    Let me know if I’m wrong. Perhaps I don’t understand your questions

    hmm….have you made blog posts before and just can’t see them. or are you new to this? if so, go the ‘W’ menu and the click ‘posts’, and ‘all posts’ if you want to see all your posts and ‘add new’ if you’d like to add a new post.

    Or what the best drag and drop visual editor plug in is?

    You are looking for themes. There are drag and drop themes. But I don’t like drag and drop themes because they tend to sell you ‘the rest of the features’ as long as you buy the premium theme. There are good drag and drop, but I still prefer to take the few more minutes and learn how to make a good site.

    Can anyone recommend a tutorial site on how to customize my site to make it look really nice?

    From a the point of view of a beginner. The reason beginners use WordPress is because of the themes. Go to appearance>themes>install themes and look through those.

    (quick tip. if you don’t want to have to wait the few seconds it takes for each page to load go here ) and check off one column, two column. This way you can see most of the themes. Then if you see something you like enter it in ‘install themes’ on your wordpress and install it from there.)

    Yeah, you don’t even need to learn CSS. Look through the 700-1000 themes and see if there is anything you like.

    Then there are things you might want to modify….

    Header Picture (simply go to header and upload a different picture, only works if the theme has pictures)
    What you have on sidebars (ex. widgets)
    Where your blog is located
    How your menu is arranged (ex. did you make a custom menu so you can order it as you like.)

    Look at the theme options to see what the theme is capable of.

    You won’t need to know programming to make a simple site.

    Perhaps you have yet to go to
    ->settings
    ->reading
    and then assign the Posts to the new page.

    was that what you did when you

    I have created a new, static, front page called “Home”, and followed the procedures for deploying this and “re-directing” the blog posts elsewhere.

    or did you use a plugin with a shortcode?

    Yes. I haven’t done it, but I think there is a plugin for that. I’d look through the plugins that allow you to sign in using Facebook.

    Anyone know if the Disqus plug does that?

    100k’s still a lot. Hmm…I’m assuming you went to the directory in Cpanel. So was there nothing in that file, or did the file not extend? And you couldn’t press duplicate on the folder and back it up just in case?

    Hmmm…usually something is better than nothing, and when I’m stuck I prefer wrong answers to none… perhaps you can find a plugin that sends you email?

    ideas of the top of my head…
    something like this
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/send-e-mail/
    modified,
    or you can subscribe to your own posts with subscribe2 plugin…but then you’d have to modify it or use something else

    or I’d try to google search or “www.ads-software.com/plugins” search a plugin that allows you to send an email of the post to yourself and but then I don’t know what to do at the button part.

    Perhaps somebody at plugins would know?

    That’s what I’d do. Don’t forget to comment back to tell us if it did worked.
