I had a soft reopening of my dumbed-down website today but still need to figure a few things out. If someone knows wordpress, I have what I think are 2 easy tasks I am seeking help on. If you can help let me know! Thanks!

depends what you mean by "knows wordpress" but yeah, I've been running it for 4-5 years what do you need?

I need to embed a link to the home page in the main logo, I don't think the theme is built to allow that easily at least.

I am also looking to create a "link" list that is reasonably consistent with the presentation of categories in the sidebar.

Also, whatever else is missing or can be improved upon aesthetically etc.

Is that main logo in the sidebar? This is the code you want (check it my sidebar www.ceetar.com/optimisticmetsfan)

[code][/code]

but you might have to figure out where to place it.

If it's not just a widget of the sidebar (Appearance->Widgets)

You might have to go into Appearance->Editor on the left side of the WP dashboard and look for the CSS or header.php (php?) template that contains the image. search the Templates for the cropped-karl2.jpg text should locate it. (backup! back it up! save the text somewhere else!)



Under widgets you should be able to add all sorts of lists and links and what not. Links will integrate with the Links section of WP but there are plenty of additional plugins you can add.

Re: Word Press Help?

I'm a bit confused, you will have a site over on WordPress?. But the UMDB will still have the numbers?. I read your post and well I guess you are thinking similar things?. I still go to your place for numbers info, links to UMBD and looks great.

What would the new site offer?, would it be your musings on the Mets? I totally see what you mean about relevancy , so much information overload, I think that's what makes your site unique though......

Sorry for going off script.
