This Advanced-level WordPress tutorial shows how to download, edit and upload a WordPress theme sidebar file (sidebar.php) using FTP software and a text editor. This is considered an advanced WordPress tutorial because you work with the files for the WordPress theme. You do not use the WordPress Dashboard in this tutorial. The tutorial assumes you know how to setup and use FTP software on your computer so that you can download and upload the sidebar file. It also assumes you know how to open a text file like sidebar.php using a text editor. On a PC, common text editors are Notepad and Wordpad. On a Mac, the default text editor is TextEdit. A good Macintosh text editor for HTML and PHP files is BBEdit.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: This Intermediate-level tutorial is for WordPress version 2.3 and earlier. To wrap text around an image in version 2.5 or later, see the new tutorials in the mcbuzzvideo collection called “WordPress 2.5+ Tutorial – How to Upload and Insert an Image” and “WordPress 2.5+ Tutorial – How to Wrap Text Around an Image”. The second technique in this tutorial works for any HTML page, whether you use WordPress or not. If you need more control over how an image is positioned relative to text wrapping around it, you can use this technique (even in WordPress version 2.5 or later). This tutorial shows two ways to position an image on the left or right side in the body of a WordPress Post or Page, and how to wrap text around the image. The first way is quick and easy to do. The second way gives you more control over the image’s position and the padding or “air” around the image. It’s an Intermediate-level WordPress tutorial because the second of the two ways shows you how to insert a bit of HTML code using the WordPress Code editing window.
