About Me
Hi,
Welcome to www.blog.web6.org, Free Video WordPress Tutorial and WordPress Getting Started. I am Kimi. I love my family, wordpress, internet, technology, and blogging in general so i mostly offer free wordpress tips if you are new and starting your wordpress blog.
Feel free to browse my posts and i recommend you to read, my Privacy policy and Term of use pages first.
I start this blog on January 2010, I simply love it. I made the screencasts, it’s not because I am a master of it. There are times when I discover something new with this blog, and I thought, “Oh I will make screencast of it” and hope it will also help other beginners.
Every methods in my posts work well with me, but it doesn’t mean it will work for you. So i strongly recommend to try everything in your local wordpress blog first before applying it to your online wordpress blog. Here is a short video to install wordpress blog in windows and mac.
I really hope my posts will be able to help, do not forget to check my blog, always a new tip!
If you need help, just leave a comment or contact me, i will help if i can.
Thank you for reading this page and most of all, thank you for visiting.
Kimi.

Hey Kimi, what kinda theme are you using for this site? I really like it. You can also suggest a similar theme you may know of. Thanks!
Hey Jimmy,
I use Thesis theme.
Thanks.
Hi Kimi,
LOVE your blog!!! I’m new to Wordpress and your site is very helpful.
Problem…I have uploaded an image and it displays on Safari but not on Firefox. I’m on a Mac but don’t think that should make a difference. Can you help me?
Thank you!!!!
Hi Victoria!
Just checked your blog, and it seems to be fixed, I saw the image :-)
Good luck with your new blog!
Kimi.
Hi Kimi,
love your page. Sorry, I know this is off topic, but where are you from?
Marc
Hi Marc,
No problem, I am from Indonesia :-)
Thanks for visiting this website and leaving a message.
I appreciate it truly,
Kimi.
Hi Kimi,
thanks.
Why not put a little “About me” or “Who’s blogging” box on the top right of your blog? Photo and a few short lines+call to action at the end.
I know it’s extremely valuable space, but I think your persona can be a big asset for you. First, you are really cute, and second you are very likeable. Don’t underestimate how much this encourages visitors to want to stay on your website and interact with you in this digital world :-)
Best of luck and success to you!
Marc
Hi Marc,
You’re most welcome, well, I did put a tab menu which is labelled “About Me” on the top there ↑
I guess two photos are enough on this page, since I have on the page itself and on the footer :-)
Thanks for your nice message!

Thanks for the nice words.
I am originally from Indonesia.

thanks kimi :)
Kimi,
First off, thanks for assisting so many people who are trying to get their arms wrapped around WP. I read your post and created a copy of my twenty ten, but I had already made many changes (basically making it a website). If my WP updates, will I lose the changes I previosuly made prior to making a copy?
Thanks
Hi Bill,
No it won’t loose the modifications, unless you change the php files. I assume you change the css, so it will not be changed if you copy it.
I also recommend, saving your modified files in your computer for safety.
I hope it will help,
Kind regards,
Kimi.
Ummmm, no. I had made changes in the header php such as changing the image, installing a logo, removing archives, changing the tag line. Im pretty srue I did all of it in php before creating the copy. Im in trouble?
If you edit the PHP, yes, it can be a problem when it is updating.
Hi Kime
I just stumbled upon your blog and I see you use thesis. I do too.
I have a very annoying problem though that you might be able to help me solve. I checked it out and I see you’ve somehow overcome it on your blog.
I’ve tried posting on the thesis forum, but the good people there haven’t answered me yet. If you know the solution on top of your head, I’d be much obliged if you’ld share it.
The problem is this: Every time I share a post from my blog on Facebook or other social media the thumbnail associated to the post is my Wordpress avatar (check http://www.facebook.com/storyhunter). Instead I’d like to be able to choose from thumbnails of pictures in the post itself. Do you know the settings for that? Do I need to add some code to my custum_function-php? How do you get thumps from your posts to show up when sharing on fb.
Thanks in advance. Also for a great blog,
Torben
Hi Torben,
Welcome to my blog :)
I do not use Facebook or connecting this blog to Facebook, so I personally don’t know how to make that.
I suggest you to bump your thread in the support forum.
Good luck
Kimi.
HI Kim , Nice Blog! I do have a question are you a mac user or pc?
Laurie
Hi Laurie!
Sorry so late for the reply, tried to answer any comments but missed a few sometimes :(
I am a Mac and windows user, but mostly windows, I love my windows :)
Thanks

Hey Sree!
Thanks for your nice words..
I have visited your blog, and oh my, I am honestly very impressed! It’s great!
Though one thing, I can suggest, I would get another domain extension other than co.cc. I have heard Google eliminate co.cc extension from search result at the moment :(
This is very sad, as not all co.cc is bad, but I would get a .com or .net even .org :)
Good luck with your blog, Sree
Kind regards,
Kimi.

Terima kasih atas komennya ya..
Hi Kimi: New to wordpress and your site. Enjoyed the tutorial on getting multiple blog pages in wordpress. Two questions if you can answer. First , I just installed wp and installed the standard pages. If I add one or two additional blog pages using your method will I be able to arrange them on the title bar in the order I want? your example only had two blog pages and nothing else, just checking. Also, somebody commented that backing up could be a problem. If I alter the php files like you suggest and backup how wordpress recommends will I be ok or do you recommend an alternate method?
Hello Bruce,
welcome to my blog.
To answer your question;
1. The page order on your tab, it depends on the theme you are using, I have checked your site, and saw the theme is a custom theme..
However, if it supports the new menu system, it can be down very easily in your dashboard.
Quick tutorial: http://www.blog.web6.org/wordpress-change-home-page/
But if the theme doesn’t support it, then you will need to edit the PHP file, can’t tell which file, since every theme is different.
2. Unfortunately I don’t really understand, what kind of php files were you referring to? the theme or the whole blog?
For the theme backup, you can download and save the folder in your computer.
For the blog, you can ask the host if they backup your site automatically, but personally I backup myself to make sure 100%.

I hope these will help.
Kind regards,
Kimi.
Hello Kimi
I start with wordpress beginning July and I use twenty eleven as theme. It’s the first time I create a blog, previously I maintain a website made by another person.
I find your tutorials very interesting, they were very helpful for me. I follow particularly step by step two of them: Child theme and ‘add a logo’. As I see you know very well twenty eleven I ask you a question that I cannot solve. I would like to change the background of my posts and sidebar. I find that the white is too white. I search but I cannot finf the solution. You can see on the link: http://www.pibracroller.com
Perhaps could you help me?
Please could you excuse my bad english level, it’d not my mother language and I’m not fluent.
Kimi, I thank you for the help you already gave me with your fabulous tutorials.
Regards
Hi Kimi, my problem is when I wrote the number 5 or 10 to my “Blog show at most” and only 2 to my “Syndication feeds show the most recent” and click for “Summary” but the results are always the same which means the “Syndication feeds show the most recent” will show the same number as in “Blog show at most” and the “Summary” are only showing in “Blog show most” and NOT in “Syndication feeds show the most recent” which is always in “FULL TEXT” Thank you in advance for your kindly help!
WAO AWESOME POST… THANKS FOR SHARING.. THAT HELPED ME ALOT…
Hello Kimi,
I just wanted to say that your youtube video on how to put a custom logo into the wordpress twenty eleven theme – was a life saver. It was the only place online I found such clear, visual instruction. Today in America it is the “Thanksgiving” holiday where we thank God for what where grateful for. I’m very grateful you were so generous with your knowledge. All the best to you.
Rob
Hello Kimi =)

Good to see you around in this blogging world. I remember you dropped by my blog last year. This year, I have been focusing on my niche site business. I hope I could document more about my process and success stories.
How have you been? Hope everything goes well and keep it going.
