A lot of people who already have a website want to know if they can keep the look of their site if they convert it to WordPress.  Absolutely.  And here’s a video to show you an example of a site conversion.

A big thank you to everyone who made the first Wordcamp Seattle such a success this past Saturday.  The organizers and volunteers made us all feel very welcome and had things nicely set up at the Adobe campus in Fremont – there were so many people involved, but I dealt most directly with Calvin Frietas [...]

When you have a large amount of text in a post, it’s important to break it up with sub-headings, and you’ll find those in the format or paragraph drop down menu on your Visual text editor  (technically, it’s the format menu, but most of the time you see it displaying the paragraph setting because that’s [...]

Quite some time ago I thought about changing the username of the default admin account on WordPress, but you can’t change a username once it’s set.  I thought the same thing applied to the admin account itself (just as WordPress has a default category that you cannot delete).
Turns out you can easily get rid of [...]

Ok, I was at WordCamp Fraser Valley – we were all in the same room – and I swear I never even knew that Rebecca Bollwitt (aka Miss604) was doing video podcasts and twitter updates about the event, not ten feet away from me!
If you want to see effective blogging and use of social media, [...]

This post is a bit late, mainly because I had no blog in which to post it… So, now that I do, I want to say thanks to Gary Jones of Blue Fur for organizing, and all the speakers and participants for attending, WordCamp Fraser Valley 2009.  I had never attended a WordCamp and now [...]

When I was at WordCamp Seattle this past September, I met a fellow named Ian Lurie.  You need to meet him too, through his blog Conversation Marketing.  Ian makes web marketing and SEO quite sane, and does it with a sense of humour.
Ok, he’s in Seattle so he does it with a sense of humor, [...]

I had a blog with WordPress 2.8.1 and used the built-in automated update to go to 2.8.4.  Suddenly the process stopped at the point where it says “Installing the latest version.”  I left it for a half hour, but when I came back it was still stalled.
I tried clicking on the dashboard and saw this [...]

It can be a nuisance to manage your menus for WordPress pages when you need to include or exclude certain pages.  It can be done by editing the wp_list_pages() tag, but that means going into the template code.
For the day to day user of WordPress, there’s a handy plugin that allows you to do this [...]

My apologies to everyone who’s been submitting comments and suggestions over the last few months.  I’ve been so busy writing a book about WordPress that I’ve not had time to update SeeHowTwo.  As the book approaches completion, I’m slowly getting back to a normal routine.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll try to get to the [...]

Some big changes here at SeeHowTwo.  I started with the overly ambitious plan of having video tutorials on all kinds of computing questions.  Once I got started on WordPress, however, I found I had plenty to do, so as of now, this is a site about WordPress alone.  It may expand in the future, but [...]
