One of the niggling aspects of WordPress is that it can be fiddly to add thumbnails to a page of thumbnails (what I use as a “Gallery Index Page”), without the thumbnails interfering with each other.
I appear to have devised a fairly straightforward way of adding addtional thumbnails without too much bother.
Select the thumbnail previous to the one you want to insert in the Gallery Index page.
Press the `return` button.
Click the `Add an image` button and add a thumbnail as before.
The course will cover preparing images, creating pages and making online galleries.
It is imperative that you book in advance, so that your free web space can be set up beforehand. Email workshops@growdigital.net or phone Jake on 07802 535 321 to book a place.
Also, please note that you need to bring:
A username to login with.
A name for your blog.
3 sets of 6 images in digital format, preferably on a USB memory stick or on a CD.
The very good news news is that I’m setting up WordPress MU, now known as WordPress MultiSite.
What this means in practise is that I can create satellite web sites for artists very quickly and before the workshops commence, making the workshops even more efficient and streamlined.
What this means in simple terms is less time setting up, more time learning and creating your own site.
You just have to create two pages, one called Home, the other News (or similar) and then go to Settings > Reading and set the Front page displays static.
I have also changed my Permalinks to Month and name, so that the year, month and postname are displayed by default, and then I’ve given each of the ‘static’ page URLs a custom Permalink. Nice and easy
