This Advanced-level WordPress Tutorial shows how to insert a “Back to Top” link in a WordPress Page or Post. The tutorial is advanced because it requires use of text editing software and FTP software to download and add HTML code to the header.php file in a WordPress theme. Once you add the HTML code to the header.php file, you can use the Code editing window in the WordPress Dashboard to insert a “Back to Top” link on any page or post. The advanced “Back to Top” link is superior to the “easy” “Back to Top” link covered in an earlier tutorial because it takes you to the top of the page much faster. A faster site provides a better user experience. -Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications

PLEASE NOTE – UPDATED TUTORIAL HERE: http://bit.ly/bhvl2d
This WordPress Tutorial follows-up to the tutorials “Make a Static Page Your Home/Front Page” and “Make a Static Page Your Home Page – Part 2″. Tutorial Part 2 shows how to hide the link to a page that you use as your home page so that people aren’t confused by the fact that there are two links to the same page in your main site navigation. That technique works when you have navigation in the sidebar that shows subpages AND you actually have subpages that are part of your site. If you don’t have subpages, there is no way to hide the link to your home page because it will show up in the navigation as a subpage link. So, instead, this tutorial Part 3 shows you how to customize a sidebar using WordPress Widgets. This allows you to remove the page navigation from the sidebar. That way, you can make the home page a subpage and the link won’t show in the main navigation. Confused? Forgive me! It’s not as hard as it may sound. Check out the tutorial and you will see what I mean.

This is my second video about using affiliate banners in WordPress. In this video, we go into a little more detail and have a look at how to cloak the links in your affiliate banners, how to create your own banners and how to place banners in your blog’s sidebar instead of in the post content.
You’ll see exactly how the HTML code of a banner is composed in which parts of it you can change or manipulate to customize the banner to your needs.
In the video, I also mention link cloaking, without giving much further explanations. If you want to know more about link cloaking (or link redirecting), simply follow the link to my other video displayed in this one.

This beginner-level WordPress tutorial is an update of the existing tutorial on http://mcbuzz.wordpress.com and YouTube called “WordPress Tutorial – How to Upload and Link to a PDF, Microsoft Word Document, Excel, PowerPoint or Other Doc Using WordPress”. That tutorial was done using an earlier version of WordPress. This tutorial uses WordPress 2.7.
This tutorial shows three things:
1) How to upload a PDF, Microsoft Word doc, PowerPoint, Excel or other Office-type document using WordPress 2.7.
2) How to insert a link to that document into a WordPress post or page. (Visitors to your site can click on the link to download or view the document.), and
3) that there are two things called “Media Library” in the WordPress 2.7 Dashboard, one of which has more information about the files in the Library than the other does. It’s helpful to see how you get to each of these Media Libraries because you can find the URL link for a file in only one of them, which can be confusing!

This beginner-level WordPress Tutorial by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications shows how to make a “static” WordPress page your Home page (also called a “front page”), and how to hide the second Home page link that sometimes appears in your site navigation when you make that static page a Home page.
By default, a WordPress website displays the blog page on the home / front page. For example, when you go to the Business Blogging 101 website at http://mcbuzz.wordpress.com you see blog posts with the most recent post at the top of the page and earlier posts below that.
WordPress allows you to select a different page as your home page, so that you can display more traditional content like information about yourself or your business. You can also create another page to use as your blog page, with a link to that page in your site navigation. Watch this tutorial to see how to do this.
One problem you may run into when you make a static page your home page is that the link to that page now appears in the main site navigation, so that you have two links to the same page – usually the page called “Home”. The second part of this tutorial shows how to remove one of those links from your site navigation so that visitors to your site are not confused by the duplicate link.

Beginner-level WordPress Tutorial shows how to create lists or menus of links to other websites using the Blogroll. These menus usually appear in the sidebar of a WordPress page or post. You create a new menu by creating a new Blogroll category. You can make as many menus as you want. In the second part of this tutorial, I show how you can also make lists of links to pages or posts within your own website or blog. -by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications

This Beginner-level WordPress Tutorial is the second of two parts about how to create lists or menus of links using the Blogroll. These menus usually appear in the sidebar of a WordPress page or post. In this second part of this tutorial, I show how you can make lists of links to pages or posts within your own website or blog. This is a handy way to create additional navigation within your site given that WordPress themes often have a limited amount of space for main page navigation (About Us, Contact Us, etc.). -by Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications
