Tutorial-Adding Pictures To Your Sidebar

February 6, 2012 by Margaret Tidwell 7 Comments

***I got asked on if it the steps are the same for uploading a pdf and as far as I can see the would be the same steps except the last step would be different. I will update this post again once I find the code you would use to PDF’s on your sidebar.

This is a tutorial for people who use wordpress.org because it is a little bit different to add pictures to their sidebars. I am going to show how to use your own server to host the pictures but you can also use Photobucket as well.

You are going to login into your blog and click on Media & then Add New
Once you click on add new you will see the same screen you get when you add pictures in your posts:
After you upload the picture you are going to grab the link to the picture for here:
You will the plug that url into this coding: <center><img src=”LINK GOES HERE” border=”0″ alt=”title”></a></center>
You then take that code and put it in the “text” widget on your sidebar.

Please let me know if you need more help or if something doesn’t make sense!

How To: Use The Google Fonts Plugin on WordPress.Org

November 3, 2011 by Margaret Tidwell Leave a Comment

As most of you know I made the switch about a month ago to wordpress.org. Since I have been here I have messed around with tons of plugins to see what I liked and what I didn’t. So far my favorite one to mess with has been the WP Google Fonts. On my other blog I had the fonts customized because I love messing around with fonts. Right now mine is back to normal because I really haven’t had the time to put up a cool font. I am going to write this tutorial on how to use the plugin or at least what I have figured out that is.

You are going to go down to the Add New under the Plugins menu
Then you are going to type WP Google Fonts into the search box and hit enter
It should be the first one the pops up and you want to click on the install now button
Once it adds it you want to click on activate plugin
Once it is activated you are going to on and click on the plugin under the setting menu
It will open the plugin and you can then go and select the font you want to used and the check where you want the font to show up on your blog. I go to the website and look at what the fonts look like and then go and find the font I like.
