Default My Blogroll...

Following all the talk of blog roll etc.. I uploaded Wordpress to my domain last night and had a play around this morning - very impressive..

http://www.huddysworld.co.uk/TheAdmiralsLog/

I've already updated the banner, change some css and created a few pages.. Basically, just having a play around.

I will need some help as I go along:

Firstly,


I created a new post for Tomb Raider, which you can see on the opening page but i would have liked to see this under PC Gaming>Currently Playing.

How do i see this on that page.

Also, How do I get rid of that "Paul Hudson's Website at the top". If I blank it out, I get nothing in the tab.

Did you setup the pc gaming and currently playing categories huddy?

the text you want rid of will probably be in a page, so you'll need to edit theme using the wordpress dashboard.

you can't?? can you edit your current post and add it to that category?

EDIT: I think you need to edit your header so the link loads the category and not the page PC gaming

Mm i don't know.. It shows as being in PC Gaming but does sho on that page.

I'm quite habppy to set up an account for you to have a look.

Basically, I'm trying to get a page Called PC gaming, with two sub pages.. One for games in progress and the other for Games completed..

I want to add posts to each category?

you basically want to have 1 page show posts of a certain category yes?

I tried to set this up when GTAIV came out but never got that far with it. There are plugins available which might help.

Yep so I can post my reviews on one page, and my tecnhical stuff on another page.

Impressive as it is, I don't think this is going to do what I want.. What do you think?

whereabouts in the backend do you chop the code so that you can get links on the top menu for categories. Buggered if I know. I would love to use Wordpress as it is so lightweight but Joomla is so easy to set up categories, links and menus in comparison

Some themes make it much easier than others loki. Mine has a lot going on for example, but also allows for a lot of customization.
