    One of the reasons WordPress is so popular is because of its flexibility. Designers, developers, and bloggers have plenty of options. In this post we'll look at a combination of tutorials for improving a WordPress-based site, and plugins that can provide added functionality that will bring new possibilities. Tutorials: Build a Featured Posts Section for WordPress Magazine themes are becoming increasingly popular. There are plenty of quality premium themes available, and also some decent free magazine themes, but you may want to build or customize your own. This tutorial covers the process of coding the index.php file to set up a magazine-style front page with a featured post section. - if you're willing to download all the plugins that are available from this site, you can really have the wordpress site look awesome and provide a lot more options.

    This site has several good tutorials. I think the Featured Posts tutorial and the tutorial that shows you how to put text over your lead graphic seem like they'd be interesting blog additions. The draw back on these changes is that you have to be familiar with web encoding though.

      This site shows how to add Excerpts without the use of plugins, simple code changing does the trick. Here the author provides the codes to make that happen. It's a nice little addition to write a short description about the post.
  • The beauty about this code is that it takes care of both scenarios: the manually added and the automatically generated excerpts; which means that you can have both manual excerpts and auto-generated excerpts for your posts with no issues.

    This webpage is dedicated to giving tips and tricks to creating "perfect" asymmetry within a design. When trying to create asymmetry do not put any text or object in the direct center or corner of the page. Also, make sure to start with a few large objects and keep them different proportions for added interest.

  • 3. Use Tricks to Freshen Your Eye Every experienced technical editor has her favorite trick to get a fresh perspective on a document. Here are some of the ones I’ve heard over the years: Turn the document upside down. Start from the end and read backwards, going line by line. Zoom in to 200 percent or more, particularly to edit graphics. Zoom out until you can see the entire page to edit overall page elements, such as the space before and after headings. Read aloud to both slow yourself down and to catch errors you’ve overlooked reading silently. Create a PDF of your document and proofread that.

    So I took the training. I thought it was very informative however I have the basic free 3.0 version of Word press. I currently am not considering the purchase of a word press upgrade but it is required to facilitate some of the learning outcomes of this free course. There are allot of tips and tricks to be learned from Sandi Krakowski, she does a great job!

    This page describes methods of organization and repetition. It's the rinse and repeat method that keeps the post system in order. It tells you to wait to post until a specified time, and while your blog draft is saved if something comes up you can add to or modify your blog.
