Thanks, JC. I will have an article about this soon, but in the meantime, explore your Bookmarks tab and play with that. It will get you started. And play with the new WordPress Widgets, the new sidebar accessorizers.

And WordPress Pages are often misunderstood. Even if they are linked with Categories, they will not appear in the Category views as things are set up now. Think of them as things outside the box rather than in. How would you want to categorize “About” or “Contact”? That’s what Pages are for, not as replacements for posts. I spent a lot of time trying to understand that, and in doing so, moved a lot of things I thought were Pages into Posts and I was much happier and people found the information easier, too.

Your blog is amazing, Im struggling with mine. I wonder I was wondering how you set up your sidebar on the side? What I find really frustrating is not being able to to link pages to categories. If you can tell me or point in the right direction I would appreciate it

Sort of McLuhanish huh? Thinking that 10 years ago (maybe even less) most people didn’t have the resources or time to publish opinions, and now lo! With the click, wham, you reach millions. My blog has very small traffic, but still, 107 people (not counting feeds) have read my blog in it’s first month. Quoting McLuhan: “After three thousand years of explosion, by means of fragmentary and mechanical technologies, the Western world is imploding. During the mechanical ages we had extended our bodies in space. Today, after more than a century of electric technology, we have extended our central nervous system itself in a global embrace, abolishing both space and time as far as our planet is concerned. Rapidly, we approach the final phase of the extensions of man - the technological simulation of consciousness, when the creative process of knowing will be collectively and corporately extended to the whole of human society, much as we have already extended our senses and our nerves by the various media.” Written in - Understanding Media. The Extensions of Man, from the year (this is unbelievable…) of 1964. Amazing.

I’m an aspiring writer who blogs about writing and shares my work online. I noticed the ‘published by Flood’ byline in my entry titles and still did not make the connection that I might be an author.

One way of looking at this is taking pride in self-publishing and the freedom of being an author with no rules, other than satisfying your readers. Another way, is to be high falutin’ about it and say that unless someone else approves your publishing, you are not an author.

You, Lorelle, are an author, to me. I’ve never considered calling you anything else. I am surprised that you didn’t think of yourself the same way, when it comes to your blog. I didn’t know anything about you before I found Lorelle on WordPress and you were still an author to me. So, I wonder why I have a hard time applying the title to myself, when an author is all I want to be.

I’ve always considered myself a blogger.

However, I do consider myself an author of any articles written by me.

Somehow calling yourself an author for your personal blog entries seems weird, though ofcourse authors do write biographies and a personal blog is something like it.
