A few new things…
By dave • Jul 5th, 2007 • Category: Site StuffFirst off, I hope everyone is making it over here just fine and not having any trouble registering. I haven’t seen a lot of new user registrations, so it is a bit concerning. Make sure you sign up, so that you can add comments to the site. All of you folks who haven’t registered, or even some of you who have, AstroChimp has brought something to my attention that I need to point out, so be sure to read the rest of this article!
Another new thing…WordPress allows you to “split” a post into sections here on the front page. What I mean is, I could write a novel’s worth of material, but then put in a “more” tag, and it will move the rest of the content below that tag onto another page. I’m going to use one here, just so everyone becomes acquainted with it. You’ll see it just below the text, and it reads, “Read the rest of this entry…”. You can click on that, or just click on the title of the article, to read the whole thing. Now…go ahead and click on that link you see down there.
Alright!! You made it over here. Just be sure to be on the lookout for those things on the home page. They are just a tool we use to split things up and keep the front page from being too “texty”.
Also…I’m going to add some of the more articles from the old site back in over here, so that they don’t get lost entirely and it gives us some material to work with. I’m currently going through and saving them, and I’ll start posting them up in a day or two.
THIS JUST IN: Thanks to AstroChimp for pointing this out to me. When you sign up to the site, you get automatically logged in to your “Dashboard” area. This is where you can change your password and some other information. Once you get in there, though, it may be a little unclear on how to get out and get back to the site. You need to find the link in the upper right-hand corner that says “View site…”, and that will bring you back over here.
Meanwhile, if you are having any troubles or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at dave@morganminute.com, and I’ll see what I can do to help.

Created the account name “AstroChimp” to see if there is any issues with the signup proscess… It works fine though I remember some things that initally confused me over at MorganMinute when I first signed up.
When I signed in, it took me to the page where I can change my password. I changed it and looked about THAT page for a while. Then I saw a TAB that says “Dashboard” and clicked on the tab. It’s easy to get lost over on that “dashboard” there’s links to all sorts of places. Lucky that I took a second look up to the top and seen “View Site”, otherwise I could have gotten lost in cyber space. :/

I could not log in under my old account name and keep getting 404 when attempting to post comments so?
