If you’d like to keep using one of the classic, stable versions of Branford Magazine WordPress theme, here’s what to do if you’d already upgraded to WordPress 3.0:* 1. Backup your current WordPress website files. To do that, go to Tools > Export. Save the file to your hard drive. 2. Backup your current WordPress [...]
Do NOT “upgrade” to WordPress 3.0 if you want to keep using Branford Magazine. Not yet, anyway. When WordPress 3.0 came out, I thought everything was okay. It turns out that the right column Category names vanish from the homepage. (That’s what’s going on, on my homepage.) I’m researching the issue, but — as you [...]
Would you like to add an extra section (extra categories) to your Featured articles column (far left column) in Branford Magazine? I haven’t tried this code. It was suggested by Mats Stadin (of Stugun Pike Fishing, Sweden) as a possible fix. I’m fairly sure he’s working with a newer edition of Branford Magazine. And — [...]
Thanks to reader Mats Stadin (Stugun Pike Fishing, Sweden at www.sdook.se/fishing) for his solution to the featured (lead) article height issue.

So, you can continue to use the current (third) edition of Sites that Soar. The dashboard differences are so minor, you may not even notice them. Note: Sites that Soar! is available [...]
Many people ask me about E-junkie.com, and if it’s worthwhile. I’ve been using E-junkie for more than two years now, and I’m still delighted with them. They handle all of my digital products for me, and they’re the most reliable company I’ve worked with. In addition, they’re still the least expensive option I’ve seen for [...]

Here’s the easiest way to add one to your Branford Magazine website. 1. Visit SERPrank.com to auto-generate your privacy policy. It’s easy… check [...]
WordPress 2.8 offers several improvements, a few changes, and nothing that needs to worry you. From what I’ve seen at my websites — on two different hosting services — WordPress 2.8 is fine. Your Appearance > Editor screen will look a little different. It includes line numbers on the left. That can make it easier [...]
