I remember doing "something" that made my posts automatically appear on my Competitive Games page. Most current at the top. It's not all posts. Just the ones with category Co

You need to select the correct category. You can do this in Quick Edit or in Edit (on the Right, scroll down)

If your theme supports pagination, at the bottom of the posts you should see a link for older posts.
In the Settings>>Reading you can set how many posts are displayed on the blog post page before you need to click the older posts link.

How did I get posts to automatically add to a page?

Good morning WA,

I have created drop down menus. However, the lists are getting so long you can't see the entire list. It is cut off, and it doesn't scroll down to see t

Hi there,

which particular menu is causing this issue? I've just went to your website and it seems to work fine. All sub menus and drop downs are working and I can see the whole list.

Your category drop down has a scroll bar and I can either use the arrows on that bar or my mouse wheel.

However, let me know which one seems to have an issue and I'll have a look again. :)

All the best,
Nicole

Competitive Games don't work on my end. It end with King of Tokyo, and I can't scroll down. It should go down to Zooloreto. How come I can't scroll?

I checked it again and it works just fine. When I click on "Competitive Games", it opens up a list of all kinds of games. For me the list starts with "Takenoko" and ends with "Ticket to Ride".

Here are a couple images. First one his how the lists starts for me:

Here's the image showing you how it ends for me:

I have no idea why it doesn't work on your end. If it works for others, then your WordPress settings seem to be just fine. Maybe you need to delete your browser cache.

Anyway, it looks fine to me and if you need more testing done or help with deleting cache, let me know. It may be good to know which browser you're using in order to help with the settings there. :)

Have a great day,
Nicole

Pay Per Click Marketing

OK, So I made a GoogleAd Sense account, and I got my Ad code. I copy and pasted the ad code in the text section one of my pages. At first it looked like and orange square. N

I am going to save you some frustration. I went through this cycle over and over until someone gave me the advice that saved my sanity. There is a plug in called Quick Adsense. You can put your adsense codes in the boxes and place them in the place of your choosing. If you can see the text code, it won't work. If you delete it and put it in again, it may work for a few days and then you will see text code again. Save yourself the trouble and use the plug in. That is my five cents worth today but it will be work a dollar if I save you the same hassles I have had with Adsense.

Thank you. I will definately try this.

you are not doing anything wrong, google takes a few days to review your application, once it is accepted that orange box or text box that you are seeing becomes your adds, I just did it and it took about 2 days to be activated, hope that helps
Paolo

Thank you. I will give it some more time.

Hey Dawn. After being accepted, my adds took 6 or 7 days before they started showing up. I have heard that it normally takes anywhere from 3-9 days. Not sure about the side bar. I don't remember having that option. The code had to be pasted in my post. Hope that helps. ~Jeremy

Thank you. I will give it some time.

My pages and posts don't seem to be getting Google rankings and traffic. I am marketing board games, so most of my posts are game descriptions and reviews. Do I need more post

It's a nice site... and yes, google won't just index so quickly, so patience and persistence. It looks good though,

Hi there,

you can run a test on your site and see if Google indexed it.

Go to Google.com and type in "site:funfamilyboardgames.com" without the quotes though. If you get any results, then Google has already indexed it.

I just typed it in and I get a result of 16 total. That means Google knows your website and has indexed it.

Rankings take a bit more time. Keep writing your articles based on keywords you researched and publish them. The more posts you publish on your website, the more Google will notice it and pay more attention to your content. The magic number seems to be around 10-15 published posts where you'll start to see more organic traffic from search engines.

I don't know where you're at with the training but you can also add a Sitemap.XML to Google Webmaster Tools. This will help Google to index your website content a bit quicker.

Here's a video on how to do it.

Thank you Nicole for taking the time to research this for me. I am working on another post today and will look into Sitemap.XML. Have a great day.

You're welcome. Was a joy to do this. :)

Wishing you a great day and let me know if I can help you with anything.

If you upgrade to Jaaxy then site rank lets you check your rank every minute if you want ot one click

Forgot to include the website is funfamilyboardgames.com Board games is a competitive niche, so I know it will take a while to make money.

Social Engagement & Marketing
Updated

Good morning, I have added Sociable to my website, funfamilyboardgames.com. However, they are only showing up at the bottom of each page/post. How do I add them to the top als

I haven't used Sociable, but I have used Super Socializer, so I assume they might have some similarity in the options.

Go into the Plugins section of your Dashboard and select the Sociable plugin, or if Sociable is listed at the bottom of the Dashboard, click on it directly.

Super Socializer has several options, one of which is called "social sharing". Under one of the tabs listed, I am able to choose which social sites to use and where to place the icons on posts, pages, home page, etc.

See if Socializer has any options such as this.

Thanks. Found it. Checked the box to put them on the top and bottom.

Terrific! Those icons look nice, don't they?
