Using a Featured Page

If you would like to enable a featured page, it's quite easy. As you create a page in WordPress, make sure you select Featured Page for the page template.

This is an area on your website where you can add text. This will serve as an informative location on your website, where you can talk about your site.

If you are looking to bring back site visitors, make this an informative paragraph that links to a more detailed explanation of what your site is all about.

Learn

I’m using this PAGE to teach myself about the features and option of this WordPress theme.  I’ve got to tell you, this has been one FN pain in the ass.  Not to toot my own horn but I’m a bright guy, I have a programming background and I’m very technical.  If anyone tells you that this is a piece of cake and you will be up running with a great looking WordPress them in “NO TIME FLAT”; they are full of “SHIT” and you should run the other way.  RUN A WAY… RUN A WAY… RUN A WAY…  

Starting from scratch… even if you don’t need to do any tweaking or customizing of your choosen theme it will take a bit before things conceptually fall in place and make some since.  If you want to do any customization at all you are going to have get your hands dirty and delve into the code.  

Don’t believe me?  Well the only thing I’m responsible for on this page is the text from the heading “Learn” on down to the end of this text.  So all the other stuff on this page you have to figure out how to deal with it.  See to the right “Text Goes Here”, those are just place holders.  You can change all that in the “code” for this “Featured Page” or use Widgets.  Gee thanks for the hint; how about explaining all the FN relationships of everything here, thank you very much…  Oh and that spot for the picture above, yep it can be just that easy assuming you understand all that’s envolved like file names, directories, FTP.  I do so not a problem but what if you want your picture to be a different size other that 380×250?  Again, time to get into the code.  If you look back at my home page you’ll see that I have already prepared that for a square image.

  • From the Text Widget

    Well this sucks... a page, is a page, is a page. Flip between the "About" page and the "Learn" page... notice how the "Right Page Sidebar" are the same. Until you start to get really into it you won't know the limitations of the THEME you are using.
  • More Text from the Widget

    You will have to get into the code for any individual page to make this different... in other words asta la vista to the widget baby.
