This short introductory video introduces the concept behind and quick-start setup of Gravatar – a free service designed to make your life easier, by associating a free-floating avatar with one or more of your email addresses. Get your own Gravatar via your WordPress.com profile page, or Gravatar.com
If you have registered a Web site with RGV Rock City, and have tried posting a YouTube video, a Myspace video, or a flash widget (or JavaScript*, for that matter) – the first thing that you’ll notice is that WordPress will strip the code and returns undesired results.
This is a default security feature, however, there are work arounds so you can post YouTube vids and other flash. Enter the Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin.
Styling your RGV Rock City Web site is easy using CSS. CSS is short for Cascading Style Sheet and it’s used to style several elements on a Web page from one location. In any instance you’ll want to know what colors and or background images you want to use. The following are the steps to style your K2 Theme.
Start at your Dashboard » Click on Design » Click on Custom CSS
Begin your code after the following line:
/* Custom CSS – write your own CSS values to overwrite the ones from K2 */
Copy and paste the following code after the line on Step 2.
#page {
/* The entire design is contained within the ‘page’ id */
}
#header {
/* Contains the H1 and menu */
}
#primary {
/* Contains the main column */
}
.hentry {
/* Each entry is contained within the ‘hentry’ class */
}
.entry-content {
/* The meat and potatoes of every entry */
}
#sidebar-1 {
/* The first sidebar */
}
#sidebar-2 {
/* The second sidebar */
}
The “{” or open-bracket must must end with the “}” or close-bracket for the CSS to function properly.
Both the “{” and “}” must follow a class or id value. Inside the brackets can be empty so long as the brackets follow the value.
