Don’t you just love little WordPress tips and tricks that make it easier when it comes to learning how to blog on WordPress.
As Utah WordPress Designers we use these tips and tricks on the sites we set up.
Controlling Your WordPress Your Dashboard
You only want to see what is most important when you go to your WordPress Dashboard. You can control what you see by going to the Dashboard >Screen Options and make your selection. As you can see below I chose a 3 column dashboard. You can drag and drop your selections into the column of your choice.
You can also make similar changes for the Posts and Pages dashboard.
Controlling WordPress Text
Have you ever wanted your lines in WordPress to come on right after another? But it seems like WordPress won’t
co-operate.
For example you want to write a poem…
The cat ran into the house
Scrambling for the mouse
When he he came through the door
He skidded across the floor
But it looks more like…
The cat ran into the house
Scrambling for the mouse
When he he came through the door
He skidded across the floor
There is a simple quick fix…Just hold down Shift – Return for each line and the spacing between lines will tighten up.
Controlling ‘Email Me’ In Posts
Here is the hyperlink code for adding your email address to your site with out revealing your email address.
In the dashboard of your post go to the top right hand corner you will see “Visual” and “HTML”. Choose HTML
Choose where you want to add your email and add this code
<a href=”mailto:html.youremail@yourmail.com“>Email Me</a>
Be sure replace youremail@yourmail.com – with your email address.
This Piece of code will make the term – Email Me a clickable link.
Test it out on your site.
If you have a hard time seeing where you want to add your email code. Go back to Visual and type in a WORD, mark where you want the code to be. I like to use ALL CAPs so it is easily recognizable.
Hope these WordPress Tips and Tricks help.
