I have created a Facebook business page that you should click to 'Like' to view not only the articles that I publish here, but also in the case (such as yesterday) that there is a server failure, you can get status updates. 

Server outtage Thursday, July 21

My apologies for the ongoing server outtage yesterday.

Customizing Your Own Theme

To make it easier for completely 'Do It Yourself' persons to have a privately hosted WordPress blog  and customize the theme themselves, I've made a series of videos.

I show how to use WordPress' default 2010 theme and  I have created a 'child' theme (explained in the third video) that you can download HERE.  As I get questions or additions/changes are requested, I will update the child theme at that URL.

Want a new look?  Anyone can do this with my video instruction.  I have 'slanted' the directions to Stampin' Up! professionals as they are the bulk of my privately hosted sites. So, what do you think?

VIDEO ONE – Cropping and sizing your MDS banner:

VIDEO TWO – Customizing & Tweaking 2010

VIDEO THREE – Uploading & Customizing 2010 Child Theme

Coming soon… 'must have' plugins for the 'Do It Yourself' people.
