Advice on my blog
-
I think I’m doing a good job but still I would like others views on it as well! I guess my question is what do you think about how I done it and do you think I should change anything about it? Thanks for the advice!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I think it’s great, except that I don’t see anything on it…am I missing something?

Oh, there they are. I didn’t realize I had to click the blog name…okay, stand by for feedback, I’m checking it out now! :)

Very nice. It would be easier to read if you put the interviews on separate pages, and if you add a menu those pages will be listed right there on your home screen. Let me know if you need help Check out my site for an example. My theme is very different but the concept of menus and pages is the same.

No prob.
1) In the toolbar that lists your site name (top of the screen) run your mouse over your site name. Run mouse over New and click Page.
2) Repeat procedure for every interview or other page you want to add.
Create menu:
1) Run mouse over site name and click Dashboard.2) Scroll down until you see Appearance in the menu and click Appearance> Menus.
3) Choose the option at the top of the page to add a new menu (I don’t know the exact wording.)
4) In the drop-down box “Pages,” click the tab “Search” and search for the name of the page you want to add.
5) Check the box next to the page and click “Add to Menu.”
6) Repeat procedure for all pages you want to add.
7) In the menu at the right, click and drag to reorder items.
To add static parent pages:
1) Open the drop-down box “Links.”2) For the URL, you can type in any address on your site, but I recommend a page that will be listed under that item.
3) Name the item in “Link Text.”
4) Choose “Add to Menu.”
5) Click and drag to reorder static items. Drag items to the right until they stay indented to make them sub-items.
Did that help?

Oh, I forgot to mention that for convenience, you should copy and paste each post into the new page. That way you don’t have to retype everything.

You can also submit questions regarding all aspects of your blog to the WordPress Community Pool, which is posted every Sunday.
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/category/community-pool/
It’s a great resource for feedback on your blog, including content and appearance.

I haven’t explored the daily post because it looks so foreign to me. Could you please explain it further?

The Daily Post offers a writing prompt of some kind every day. You can submit your blog post answering that prompt in the form of a comment with a permalink to your post. Along with a daily prompt, there is a Weekly Photo Prompt on Fridays, and a Weekly Writing Prompt on Mondays.

You can participate in any one, or all, that you want. It is a good way to drive traffic to your site, and get feedback on your content.

Sounds good. Maybe I’ll explore it more when June rolls along and I’m not as busy. In the meantime, I’ve been posting in these support forums and my username links back to my site. I checked out yours, by the way, and commented. And dedicated a paragraph to you on my “Other Writers” page. Hope you don’t mind.

Is there a way where I don’t have to do a copy and paste each one because I gave the url to a load of people with their interviews?
-
I’m not sure. I was surfing through WordPress support once and thought I saw a way to convert posts to pages, but I’m not sure what that was. WordPress users out there, is this possible or not? You may just have to let the people you interviewed know about the change.

Remember, Pepz347, your pages will not be accessible to the public until you follow my instructions on creating a menu.
