Hello: I need help finding a theme with a static front page that does not show a blog roll or posts so that when you go to my website you don't see "Nothing Found". I need to p

You can actually use just a plugin for that without having to install a whole new theme. I use the "WP Maintenance Mode" plugin and just activate it when I need it.

Where do I find WP Maintenance Mode?

You'll need to create a website first. Pick any theme, you can change it later on when you find the one you like. The only other thing you will need to do is give it a name.

Once you have the site created, log in to your Wordpress admin page and go to the Plugins tab. Click Add New and search for WP Maintenance Mode.

Figured it out. Thanks a lot for directing me to the right place.

Hey everyone: I would like to know how easy/difficult it is to build a website forum with different threads which members can add and comment on. Thanks! Gina

It's easy to do. Just use free software. The hard thing is getting enough people to use a forum. People don't like to visit quiet forums.

Nowadays people use a Facebook group. That's probably a better strategy.

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a Facebook group with a network of close to a thousand members, but it's not very good at tracking topics like a forum can. I just found a plugin called BuddyPress, but I will have to do some more reading as I have no idea how it works.

Sorry for the naive question, but I'm guessing I have to purchase another domain, but what happens with the one I no longer want now that I've already paid for it?

As you thought, it will just expire at the end of the year. Yes, it's a nuisance, but there's nothing we can do unfortunately.

Hey there
I am pretty sure you are right, you will need to buy another if you want to change the name.
As for the one yo have it is yours for as long as you keep up the payments and have it registered.
If you bought yours here at site domain then it is yours for at least 1 year. If you don't want it anymore after the year make sure to remove the auto renew.
Another option is that you can try and sell it. I'm not too sure how you can do that here. I've seen at Namecheap they have the option to put it up for sale.

I think you have to pay a fee to post a domain to sell, and there wouldn't be enough of a demand to make it worth it for me to pay. I guess all I can do is let it run out, and as you said, make sure it's not set to auto-renew. thanks for the input. :)

It seems I can add favorites and use tags to find them later, but isn't there a list of trainings that I tagged that I can browse through later?

Click on the star icon at the end of the search box at the top to find the one you’ve bookmarked.

Thank you. I don't know that I ever would have noticed that or figured it out. :)

You're welcome =)
