It is a yearly conference for affiliate marketers. It sounds like a lot of fun and lots to learn. They alternate between west and east coast each year.

This site has an example of what I'm trying to do (hard to explain, so I'll show you). The images towards the bottom of the page have a white border and shade that makes them l
Hi Lynn, I don't know how to do this in WordPress or know of any plugins, but I know that using Microsoft Publisher you can copy and paste an image into a Publisher file. Then click on your image to select it. Then choose PICTURE TOOLS / SHADOW EFFECTS. There are drop shadows and perspective shadows, and you can choose the direction of the shadow. Then you might be able to copy that image onto your site. I know many people don't have Publisher on their computers, but that's my two cents. I'm sure there are more high-tech ways of getting this effect. Good luck! :-) Amanda
Hi, If you have Microsoft Office 2007 or later, Word does it all for you, I'm not sure, but Open Office or Libre, which are both free, may do it, otherwise you will need an imaging manipulation program.
Thanks for all the replies. I think i should have been more specific. If i get that look in another application like Word, then do I just copy paste into wordpress? I'll give that a try. I thought I'd have to use code to get it in the style sheet.
Thanks again!
Hi, you don't need to use code or mess with your style sheet. If you use Word, which I've found the easiest to get the look you want. Once you're happy with it, copy and paste it into into an image manipulation program, Paint is pretty easy to use, do any editing, such as resizing, then save it into a file or folder as a jpeg or png image, I normally use png.
Now you need to upload it to your media library before inserting it into your website wherever you want it. Hope this helps, if I can be of any further help let me know, Best wishes.
The attached image is one I did of my granddaughter and great grandson using Word.
I also have Photoshop that would probably do it. I just wasn't sure how to get it in wordpress.
Thanks Loes, i'll give that a try.
While it is probably not the best explanation as far as web embellishments go, Microsoft PowerPoint and even Word have border and shadings options that might create these effects.

Do most of you use MS Word and then paste it over to WordPress like I do? Or are there other tools that work better for blog writing. I don't want to write directly in WordPres
I've tried the Rapid Writer in Tools and a free online service (whose name escapes me at the moment), but always seem to end up back in a Word document. It's still the simplest writing tool for me.
I try to get my initial outline and thoughts out of my head as fast as I can, proof reading and editing later after most of the piece has come together. Then I copy and paste into WP to do the final editing and proof reading.
I do use the Rapid Writer to capture thoughts for future site posts. I use the Rapid Writer almost exclusively for WA Blog posts.
I'm write all my blogs in Word and copy/paste into the editor.. That way if I need big changes its easier for me.
I write my first drafts in a regular notebook with my favorite pen and stocking cap. I then type it up on an manual Royal Typewriter. I'll wait a day and then I read it. I then throw it away. I rewrite it keeping the main points in mind in a notebook. Then I open my WP editor with my final notes on my desk and type it up. Then I create a video!
Hi. I use MS word myself to save my work somewhere else other than my website just in case. When I copy paste though, it doesn't come out neat most of the time and I have to spend some time re-arranging things.
Sometimes I write directly on word press and save my work as draft till it's finished then save it to my MS word folder that I created.
I use Google Docs for almost all of my writing now. That way I can save without using space on my computer. I have also lost everything due to a not so reliable computer so I have a little fear of loosing my work.

Hi
I'm using Admin as my only user on my site. I've edited Admin profile to have a public and nickname (Lynn). I can see all posts attributed to Admin in the profile, bu
I did those suggestions and i'm using Twenty Thirteen theme. i'll take a look on the web for that theme and possible problems.
It sounds like a theme thing. I have a couple of videos that may help Change Admin to Your Own Name And you can create a widget to show your photo and short bio with a link to your About Me page Affiliate Link Image in Text Widget (it doesn't have to be an affiliate link)
Did you use the "quick edit " tab under each post, and when you added the new name, did you click the "update " tab on the right?
You might want to go over the tutorial again. It can be confusing, but trust me, if I can do it, it can be done!
Update: I tried creating another user as admin and changed all posts and pages to that new user as the author. Still no author shows up on blog article. dang it.
