Creating a Bio or Resume page.<\/h4>\n

Click on "Pages" in the left hand menu.<\/p>\n

\"Wordpress<\/p>\n

When installing WordPress it creates a page called "About". Let’s change that page into your bio page. Click on "About" in the center of the page. Change the title at the top of the page from "About" to "Bio".<\/p>\n

In the text box, start adding your bio. It works like a simple word processor. <\/p>\n

\n

NOTE: The "return" key creates a full line space. If you only want a line break use shift-return.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I recommend that because of the vagaries of html you format your bio very simply as a list.<\/p>\n

The following is moderately difficult to do in html:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
2007<\/td>\nExhibition 1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/td>\nExhibition 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2008<\/td>\nExhibition 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/td>\nExhibition 4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2009<\/td>\nExhibition 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/td>\nExhibition 6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

This is easy to do:<\/p>\n

2007
\n Exhibition 1
\n 2008
\n Exhibition 2
\n2009
\nExhibition 3\n<\/p>\n

When you are finished adding your bio. Click "Update Page" at the right. Don’t forget. Your work could be lost if you don’t.<\/p>\n

Create Contact Page<\/h4>\n

While we are in Pages let’s create a contact page (if you have installed Contact Form 7).<\/p>\n

Click "Contact" at the bottom of the left hand menu. Then copy this code including the square brackets:
\n contact-form 1 "Contact form 1"<\/code><\/p>\n

Then Click "Pages" in the left hand menu.
\n Click "Add New".
\nEnter "Contact" as the title and then paste:
\n contact-form 1 "Contact form 1" <\/code>
\n into the body of page, as shown below. Don’t forget the square brackets.<\/p>\n

\"WPFolio\"<\/p>\n

Click "Publish" on the right side. Click "View Post" to check the page. It should look something like this:<\/p>\n

\"Contact<\/p>\n

For more complex forms and troubling-shooting view Contact Form 7 Docs<\/a><\/p>\n

Create Home Page<\/h4>\n

By default WordPress displays a list of recent posts on the front page of your site. These are instructions for displaying one large image on your front page. <\/p>\n

Create another new "Page". Title it "Home". Upload one image and insert it into the page. <\/p>\n

A horizontal image 900 x 600 pixels works best. Horizontal images work best since they match the format of computer screens (example<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you would like to use more than one image I suggest compositing several images together as one image in Photoshop and simply use that.<\/p>\n

Click "Publish" or "Update Page" in the right sidebar.<\/p>\n

You are not done yet<\/h4>\n

Go to Settings->Reading<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

Click "A static page" and choose "Home" from the dropdown list. Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

\"wpfolio<\/p>\n

Check the front page on your site to see if it work.<\/p>\n

For more information look at the WPFolio instructions <\/a>or the WordPress instructions for creating a static home page.<\/a> Voila!\n<\/p>\n

Adding a Header Image<\/h4>\n

The WPFolio Wiki has good instructions for adding an header image<\/a> to your site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
