gratitude abounds!

Well, the gratitude of bounders, anyway.

Thank YouOver the past couple of days (actually since the World Cup madness began, with the ceremonial flight of the hair gel) the blog has been hit by 500% more comments than it has ever received before, the vast majority being brief expressions of gratitude for what an "inform site" I have. I thank you all, and for the sake of brevity have condensed the 40 latest comments below.

It warms the cockles of my heart (I stole them from some guy who hadn't been using his to my satisfaction) to see how thankful people are, and I appreciate these comments all in the spirit in which they were given. In other words, I stripped out the spam URLS and saved the text because that suits me better. I am pleased to have been of service to so very many people who have difficulty understanding English, or perhaps just difficulty typing in handcuffs.

The Road Not Taken: if RuPaul had never discovered drag

professor raincoaster’s little lectures: WordPress 105, Pages vs Posts

professor raincoasterToday, class, we are going to discuss Pages versus Posts.

This is a Post. A blog post. Pretty much all of WordPress is blog posts, as WordPress is blogging software and a blog host. Your posts go in chronological order from oldest (at the bottom of the page) to freshest, and if you're using a template there's fuckall you can do about the way they're displayed.

But.

There are other things, called Pages. These aren't streamed the way blog posts are; they just sit there in cyberspace all by themselves, totally separate from the blog posts, although joined by a link in the sidebar. If you go to the sidebar, you'll see you have a link for Pages, and right now this thing just has some boilerplate text from WordPress in it. Click on it and check it out. It says:

About

This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.

which is, indeed, true. Pages are like separate pages on a website, as opposed to blog posts that are all strung together. You can, if you want to get advanced, nest Pages inside Pages, but that's a lesson for another time. We're blogging here, not building websites. Different.

You should use a Page rather than a Post for anything permanently relevant, anything you want people to be able to access from anyplace in your blog. Examples would be an "About Me" or bio page, "My goals and aspirations" for an inspirational journal, "Books that guide my life" or, as I have, "Terrorist Alert Levels." Whatever goes in a Page should be something that isn't time-dependent, as it'll be displayed with equal importance as long as your blog exists.

You write a Page just the way you write a Post. When you click New Post or Write you get to a writing page; at the top you'll see two tabs, Write Post and Write Page. Write Post is the default, but if you click Write Page you will write a page and it will get listed under Pages on your sidebar. All the functions for writing Pages are exactly the same as for writing Posts, so you've got everything you need to just go for it.

If you find you've totally fucked up, you can always go back to Edit and click Delete Page, which you have to scroll down to see, but it is there. Right now, I suggest you go to the boilerplate (prefab) Page, click Edit, and replace that text with something of your own. And while you're at it, do the same with the first, boilerplate Post that WordPress stuck in your blog, unless you've already edited it to something useful. Think of it like hanging pictures in a new apartment; it won't really look like your place until you're done.

Operation Global Media Domination: The Day Off

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Undecideds: I regret to announce that I'm taking the day off sick. Yep, that's right: not blogging today.

So you know I'm sick.
