How to Host My Wordpress Blog on My Domain

1. Confirm that your hosted domain account includes a MySQL database service, preferably MySQL 5.0. If you don't have a MySQL database account you won't be able to host and install WordPress. Some domain hosts charge additional fees for MySQL database add-ons and have policies restricting the amount of bandwidth you can use for your blog. Once you confirm you have a MySQL account, set it up with a truncated version of your blog site name, such as 'myblog,' and an administrative password. Write down the configuration settings shown for the Account Name, User Name, Server assignment and your administrative password.
2. Download the WordPress main files to your hard drive. Label and save this folder for future use. Extract the compressed file to this folder location.

3. Open your FTP program and navigate to the root directory of your website. Copy all the extracted files in the WordPress folder over to the root directory of your website.
4. Locate the file 'config-sample.php' within the WordPress core files on your hard drive. Open this file to edit it using a text editor like Windows Notepad. Type in the data from your MySQL account into the appropriate lines of code. Make sure you have entered this data correctly. Save the file with the new name 'config.php' and load it to your domain server.
5. Open a new Brower window and type in the address http://mydomain.com/wp-install.php. This will load your WordPress installation page. Fill in the blanks with your information. Provide a current email address that you can receive email from immediately. Save and close the install page.

Save the file by clicking the blue 'Update File' button. If you added a div, load 'footer.php' in the editor and add '
' directly above '
' to close the div.

3. Load 'style.css' in the editor.

Setting 'background-image' to 'linear-gradient' creates the gradient background. At the least, you need to set a direction for the gradient to start at and then two colors that fade into each other. Add that line of code again two times, adding the Webkit and Mozilla prefixes for Chrome, Safari and Firefox browsers.

How to Transfer a Website to WordPress

1. Register for WordPress and make sure to create your blog. Log in to the site and click 'My Blog' and then 'Register a New Blog,' then choose your 'something.wordpress.com' address to begin. You can't use the import tools or add new posts until you've created your site. After your site is set up, all the WordPress functions are available to you.
2. Click 'Tools' on the left-hand side of the WordPress Dashboard; choose 'Import.' WordPress has built-in migration tools for a few platforms. You can use the Import tool to migrate all your content from Blogger, Blogroll, Israblog, LiveJournal, Movable Type (or TypePad), Posterous, Vox, Yahoo! 360 or another WordPress website through this control panel. If you use one of these platforms, this is the easiest way to move your site to WordPress, but not the only way.

3. Check the WordPress support forums for specific importing instructions or tips for moving your content from a database other than the ones listed in Step 2. It's likely that someone else on WordPress is coming from the same kind of setup that you have. If you are using a site based on Drupal, Joomla, Mambo or another open-source CMS, you'll find tutorials in the forums to help you transfer your site over. But since WordPress is a simplified CMS, you may find that the contents of a complex, open-source CMS won't migrate seamlessly.
4. Create a new blog structure on your WordPress site and manually migrate your content if Step 2 or Step 3 don't work for your website. This is also the easiest way to migrate your content from a basic site that didn't utilize CMS software. Define pages in WordPress that mimic the static content of your existing site. If you have a section on your site called 'About Us,' create a page on WordPress by the same name, then copy and paste the content from your site to WordPress. WordPress uses 'Pages' for static, unchanging content and 'Posts' for blog entries. Create new posts for each piece of content from your old site and copy and paste the data into each post. This process can be time consuming for large sites.

How to Indent in WordPress

1. Log in to the WordPress dashboard from the 'wp-admin' directory of your website. Go to 'Posts' or 'Pages' and click on the name of the post or page you want to edit. Click the 'Visual' tab on top of the editor box and press 'Alt Shift Z' to show a second row of buttons on the editor toolbar. Place the cursor in front of the text you want to indent in the editor box and click the 'Indent' button.
2. Click the 'HTML' tab on the editor box to view the HTML of your post or page. Locate the HTML tag in front of the content you want to indent and add 'padding-left: 30px;' to the 'style' attribute:
The editor generates this same code for indents when you indent using the 'Visual' editing mode. Change '30px' to a different pixel amount to change the size of the indentation.

3. Replace 'padding-left' with 'text-indent' if you only want to indent the first line of a paragraph:
No equivalent button exists in the 'Visual' editing mode, but WordPress will not strip this code out after you switch to 'Visual' and save.

How to Change your Wordpress Header without getting into the HTML Codes

1. Let's start by logging in your dashboard in WordPress. Once you are in look for the left column. Once you find it look for the 'Appearance' button and click on it. This will open up several choices, click on the 'add new themes' button , this will bring up another page full of choices for a theme. Look to the right of the page for the choice that reads 'Custom Header' click on that, then on the bottom of the page click the button ' find themes'.
2.

By clicking the custom header choice, WordPress will only select those templates which will allow you to change the header without getting into the codes. For my husband's blog I chose the theme called ' Violinesth Forever 4.5 by Patrick Chia ' once you have chosen your theme install it and active.

3. Now that your theme is active, stay on the 'Appearance' Page. Look for the ' Custom Header' choice which is on the left column of the page and click on it. This will show you only the header for theme you have chosen. In here you will find the actual Picture Pixel Measurements you will need to create your own header, so it will fit with this theme. The theme I chose for my husband's blog measures 1024 x 279 pixels. Knowing this information I can go to my editing program and create a new and unique header.
4. Use your photo editing program of your choice, if you don't have one you can download Gimp.org for free. Size your header appropriately then edit to your choice. Save the photo to a Jpeg and put it in a folder you can easily find.
5. Now go back to the 'custom header' button that is located in the left column of the page click on it and then click on the 'choose a file' button. Find your edited header, click 'upload' and your header will take the place of the old header. Visit your site to see that the theme fits well and it looks the way you want it, then continue to edit the rest of your template.
