The 2:20 website design
Mar 23rd, 2008 | By webmaster | Category: What's newYou’re looking at the basic website that I set up, from scratch, in less than three hours. At the end of that time, the website was installed, with graphics. Everything was here except the text of the articles.
Creating this website was part of my experiment for my book, Sites that Soar! I wanted to see how quickly I could build an attractive site with nothing to start with, not even a domain name or website hosting.
Using the same basic design, my next website–which already had a domain name and hosting–took a little over an hour.
Hello I have purchased your book but it has taken a little longer to get things sorted, this is in part because some of the screen shots us use I have been unable to find where the command or information is to get things sorted. I.e Adding Homepage Content Graphics I have no idea where to find the upload information. When you revise the book please think about people like me that don’t know where things are and need a lot more hand holding. In the meantime please tell me how to access the tables you show on page 35.
I forgot to say thank you for sharing your insight. It is truly appreciated
Thanks for your suggestions!
I’ll try to explain the process more clearly here:
In WordPress 2.3, the panel for uploading images is immediately below where you type in your text. (In the screenshot, you can still see the buttons that include “Save” and “Publish.”) Just scroll down on your “Write Posts” page and you’ll see the section where you add graphics.
That’s what’s shown in Step 1 on page 35.
When you click on the Browse button, a window will open that shows files on your computer. Navigate through those to find where you’ve stored graphic images that you want to use on your website.
You can only upload images that you already have on your computer.
After I uploaded my graphic (by clicking “Upload” after selecting one of my graphics in the “Browse” area), my screen looks like Step 2. In my example, I uploaded a sky image that I’d created earlier and called “rainbow-255.”
Now, I can use “rainbow-255″ anywhere on my website by specifying it (by name) when I want to use it.
I hope this explanation helps you!
I’ve written you about a week ago with no response.
In my attempt, none of the images driven by custom fields display at all, either in IE or Firefox. I’ve fought with this for over 20 hours. Today I uninstalled everything and started from scratch. Same result. I am incredibly frustrated. Please reply to me.
