AutoFocus theme - more than one photo cover page WordPress

  • SOLVED

I need help with how to load more than one photo
onto the opening page. And are blogs possible within each photo?

Also, is there a way to have different fonts, sizes, formatting on the Pages?
My resume is coming out as a list as it is now.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Maggie,

I assume that you're talking about http://maggiereed.com.

Your front page is popping out posts, but there is a way to make it a static page, where you can have all the photos and text you want. Or you can add another post with another image. Is this what you're looking for?

Also, your resume formatting can be easily done with CSS within the themes styles.

Let me know if I can make these adjustments for you.

Sounds like the easiest thing for me to learn first is the CSS part. I don't know what that is. How do I learn how to do that?

Also, I'd like to have the choice to have blogs under the photos or to have them static. Is that possible? Or I could have static photos on the front page and a separate Blog page. That would be ok too. Does that make sense? How do I do that?

Maggie, CSS is a language used to style HTML. I personally consider it to be one of the easiest languages to learn, because most of it is straight forward. Here are some links to help you get started: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp , http://sixrevisions.com/css/20_websites_learn_master_css/ , http://www.cssbasics.com/. As for the actual HTML in the resume, you may want to code them with ul's and li's. (Unordered List, List Item) Or you could even use p's (Paragraph) and div's too.

Without having to learn HTML, you can use the WYSIWYG editor in wordpress. (See pic) If you play around with styles and lists within that editor, you should be able to come up with something that suits your needs.

For your front page, you could have static images in your index.php. That would let you have images that stay on the front page, and posts that dynamically change. For instance, Let's say that your index.php looked like this:

<div id="content">

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<p><?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> at <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?> | <?php the_category(', '); ?> | <?php comments_number('No comment', '1 comment', '% comments'); ?></p>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
...

</div>


You can add your image(s) like so:


<div id="content">

<-- IMAGE -->

<img src="path/to/img.png" alt="staic image" />

<-- END IMAGE -->

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php the_content(); ?>



I hope I was able to help!
