I want to create a blog on my website but don't know where to start.

My server is Lunarpages and they have Wordpress for creating a blog.
Can you direct me to simple bulleted instructions on how that might interface with using my website template that is consistent for all html pages?
I already have eBlogger.com blog but when I try to use their edit HTML feature and paste in my template code, I get an error message that the "meta" code doesn't have an end tag. They say I need to add the end tag. Here's the code they pointed to:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"content="text/html; charseet=iso-8859-1">
My template works fine with my website. What do you think is happening here with eBlogger? Lunarpages forum recommends I set up with Wordpress. Trying to save time here. But if WP works better overall, I'll do it.
I basically want these things:
use my template so it's consistent with all pages.
blogg not only allows me to post but also comments and automatic archiving (i.e. past 60 day)
Have best security for blog.
I also want to add a button that lists those social networks I post on. I am hoping it's possible to set up one blog and have what I post automatically posted on the others (i.e. Facebook, Google, eBlogger). Is that possible? An example of a link Lunarpages has:
http://www.addthis.com/pages/toolbar-landing?utm_source=hm&utm_medium=link&utm_content=ATI EToolDL_orig&utm_campaign=ATCMIE_DL

WordPress is in a class of it's own. It began it's open source life as a blogging system but it has evolved into a powerful, feature-rich CMS (content management system). In short, if you elect to use WordPress on your domain, you might just as well use it for your entire web site.
To work with WordPress, you will need a firm understanding of HTML, CSS and how PHP includes work.
WP requires you to set-up a dynamic work environment (see links below)
Find a WP Theme you like that won't require much customizing on your part.

How can i change the background color in the mobile windows adobe reader app? i want to change it from black to white but don't know how.

really want to change the background color of my documents in the mobile app. ive tried to search the answer online, in blogs and other various 'life hacks' blogs or articles, but so far everyone is talking about the desktop version. i really want to figure this out. is there even an option for the mobile version for windows? the only editing icons when a document is open are: export, home, make public, search in document, highlight/strikethrough/underline/comment and continuous/single view. if there isnt an option to edit background color, can i suggest that the makers of the windows mobile version make one, and make it fast please! any help would be appreciated. -CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR

Looking to create a specific type of transition, but don't know how.

I am using FCE HD and am trying to add a transition to the end of a clip. I want to zoom all the way into a point and then back out on a different clip (fast).
I have seen this done in other apps but dont know if its a made transition here or if I have to build it my self.
I am assuming I am going to have to use the motion tabs and keyframes, but dont have that much experience yet.
Thanks in advance.
John

There's a ready made that can be modified to do what you want.
Give the Effects>Video transitions>3D Simulation>Cross Zoom a go.

Why is dreamweaver creating nested public_html directories?! i don't know where my index is going?

DW keeps creating public_html directories, now
there are several nested. uploading my index.html file i can only look at time modified to see which of the public_html folders gets the upload. in site set-up i have tried empty field, /public.html, etc. i have tried uploading the entire site. but i still cannot figure out where thei ndex is refreshing.

this is what i've gotten to. Pls enlighten me about the
screen shot below.
/home/bruskin/public_html folder and the public_html folder within that. how do i get it as you said with the maintenance files out of sis way in the next level up, is that the /home/ bruskin /public_html?
Is that the root directory, as opposed to the host directory? or are they the same thing? and why i have got both showing? which do i get rid of and what did i do to create it?
then i think i am good to go.
with one btw question: how do i increase the font size of things like the files listing? its killing my eyes.

I want to connect to a bluetooth enabled device but don't know how

I don't know how to connect to my bluetooth enabled device. Please help.

Hi,
Your machine does NOT have Bluetooth therefore you can't connect to Bluetooth devices.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02882598
If you wish, a cheap option is to buy a dongle called USB-Bluetooth such as:

(Much cheaper elsewhere)

I want to integrate radium again to the menubar, but don't know how

I put radium out of the menubar, and now cannot integrate it again..

The option is in Radium's preferences assuming Radium is running. Otherwise, run the application first.

PC and Iphone user. I have Icloud all set up, but don't know where to access everything that I have "merged". I want to view my photo stream and don't see anywhere to click to view all of my stuff?

HI, I have Icloud all set up on my phone and PC. Where do I go to access all of my "merged" info including all of my pics? Where do I click? It took 8 hours to get it all up in "the cloud". Now what?

Open Contacts, look at the menu (on top of the screen) there is an entry for View, click it and from the resultant menu choose Group.
It's the 4th from left.
On your iPhone it is here:

I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I want to create a blog on my website but don't know where to start.
