This Beginner-level WordPress Tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications shows you how to make a static WordPress Page your home page (also called “front” page). The default WordPress home page in most themes shows the chronological blog post entries with the most recent post at the top. You can create a static page using the Dashboard – Write – Page, and then tell WordPress to use that page as your home page (using Options – Reading – Front Page). This WordPress tutorial also shows you how to change the order of page navigation tabs or links.

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 2.6 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.

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.

This Beginner-level WordPress tutorial shows how to create a “child” subpage that has another page as its “parent”. You can make links to these subpages using the Blogroll. In some WordPress themes, links to child subpages appear underneath a link to the parent page in the website navigation links – either in the sidebar or under the main horizontal navigation links. In other WordPress themes, you cannot see any links to child pages. In either case, you can create a visible link to a child page by making a new link under one of your Blogroll categories. This tutorial also shows how to find the web address (URL) of a WordPress child page when it is not visible anywhere in the website navigation links.

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.
