It should be the first and only one there, click "Install Now" and then "Activate Plugin"

Now, to see the magic behind this plugin, go to Posts > Add New in the upper left hand corner of your WP Dashboard. Scroll down and you'll see something like this:

I'm on my next lesson of authorship. Some of my pages are showing up with authorship, though it says "no excerpt is showing...". Do I need to add descriptions to my pages for that to change? Maybe I missed that in earlier training. Next thing- some of my "pages" are really categories. I felt a set up that way was best for me for exactly the reason you mentioned in this video. I noticed if I check authorship in the snippet tool for a place where blog posts will go - http://flowerphotographyfordummies.com/category/learning-flower-photography it does not have authorship, but if I take out the word "category" in the URL it does. Since most of my posts will be in categories and not pages, how could I set this up so I receive authorship on my blogs, or do we really only need it on a page? I don't think I will be adding any blogs to my pages, only the categories. Does this make sense?

hey, thx so much for this ! Lots of details I will find helpful.

When I read the first page---your intro--I wanted to insert just one thought. Moving content around, between blog and website for instance, I do think we have to be super-careful not to create duplicate content by mistake or simply by being unaware. . You know how deeply Google despises duplicate content, and what happens to websites when people do that. Sometimes people don't even realize that a blog IS a website.

I'm really no expert, but I do think this awareness is important. Agree?

HELP! I followed your instructions and the post disappeared from the front page but it is not on the Blog Page there is a link still on the Home page for the post but I need to make the new Blog page home for the posts instead of just a page.

I have one site in particular that this will really help me on.

Thanx for creating this resource.

P. S. I'm starting to have more plugins than Chins in a Chinese phone book!

You're welcome klrrider! Be careful not to get too lost in the book of plugins, it's easy to do!

I haven't read it all to be honest, but nice post. I know this is just 1 method of doing things that is more oriented towards keeping things simple for your reader. A good example of a website that doesn't keep it simple for your readers & does the exact opposite of what this is teaching is http://ivetriedthat.com/ (lol). You have to weed out the 400+ posts he has on his website and figure out everything that's on it, which can take days without buying his products directly. I'll save this & go back to it later. I see you've found a few other plugins besides the Exclude Pages one.

Yes but the main issues with the others is they haven't been updated to work in the latest upgrades to Wordpress. Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with Wordpress because they're always making changes! Someday I will learn how to make plugins...once I get a steady income from this business! His website is disorganized but you know, at least he has the content and has the solutions out there whenever he decides to look for them ^_^

Hey Kara, that's cool you're wanting to make plugins in the future. My plan was to make a few plugins in the future too when I started understanding more about computer language. I'm pretty sure most of the plugins are built around PHP, so you'd have to learn all about that.

Is a great site I found for learning this on your own time anyway. :) If you need help with something too, just send me a message. I know a lot about Internet Marketing.
