I share your love for WordPress.
It’s interesting to know that WordPress was made by such a large group of volunteer software developers.
Thanks Mitz. You know, I feel so silly. I was doing exactly this on my website. However, on feedburner I was trying to add the code in the same way I did on my blogger blogs (there seems to be an extra step in Blogger). It was so easy. You’re right.
The other problem I have is, I want to put a small blogroll, my privacy policy, and site map into the footer (I don’t want the PP and sitemap in the top title bar). I downloaded a widget to do so, but it messed up my header and I had to remove it. I’m sure there’s an embarrassingly easy way to do this also?
Hi Jane, I’ve been searching on the web for a tutorial on how to move my blogroll to the footer of my Whitehouse theme wordpress site. I’m new to wp and have exhausted all other options for the last 2 months. I still haven’t figured it out (or found the answer).
You mentioned some plugins in this article. Is there a plugin that will help me do this, or is there something I’m just missing?
Thanks for your help. Anne
