I have previously played around with menus before so this started out as a review. It’s probably one of the most tricky things to learn in WordPress, especially if you are trying to use as a static website rather than a blog. I had to learn the difference between posts and pages. Adding a custom… Read more »

Permalinks in WordPress Response
Here’s the link to my very brief blog post on Permalinks!
Organizing posts Response
Since I had used WordPress in the past, I was very familiar with the use of categories. I used the categories to create the menu of topics – so each page showed the posts relating to that category (instead of typing in https://proflisak.wordpress.com/category/interesting-reading/, visitors could click on the link in the menu and get the same… Read more »
Adjusting the settings Response
This is was a very useful activity. I never even thought to look at the time zone. There are definitely lots of settings to explore!
My own cloud file sharing server Response

SPLOT of my Own Response
I tried adding a SPLOT to upload photos that relate to Math. I think I got it working correctly. I can add pictures directly through the Collect tab rather than having to go into WordPress and create pages. The only think I don’t like is that the Collect Tab shows for anyone – even though… Read more »
Building a WordPress Calling Card Site Response
I had some trouble with adding posts to the front page. I finally figured out that I had to create a new one entirely. For some reason, the “Hello World” page would not work. Once I added a second page, it showed up on the menu in the bottom.. The only question I have –… Read more »
