FAQ Redesign
September 26, 2006
If you swing by our FAQ blog you may notice it’s gotten a bit of a makeover.
Before it was just using a regular blog theme, not exactly the best. It seemed disconnected from the rest of WordPress.com.
Now it’s very hip, complete with a tag cloud, a giant search box, and a few other goodies sprinkled around.
Check it out, hopefully it answers your most frequently thunk thoughts a little better now.

I’ve never popped directly to FAQ before – kinda fell in there via desperation, confusion and accident a few times though… 😉
It looks wonderfully user friendly however.
Thank you!
Rather enjoying myself here.

I typed “widegts” into the FAQs search box and got nothing at all. Yet, because we get so very many widegt questions on the forum I created a post that I have been referring bloggers to here http://bloggersblurt.wordpress.com/2006/09/17/widget-wizardry/
By creating a post I have saved myself a lot of repetitive typing. If you simply type “widgets” into the forum search box I think you’ll be convinced that there is a need for the subject to be in the FAQs.
Thanks for listening. 🙂

*LOL* I’m cracking up and I’ll bet you are too. I did not actually type “widegts” into the forum search box and if I had I would have quite naturally come up with nothing. That was a typo. I really typed “widgets” into it. So stop laughing because I have an active enough imagination to hear you all the way through cyber space. 😉
I also typed in “header sizes” just a while ago and came up with nothing as well. That’s also a common question we answer on the forum and luckily I have a yellow sticky note on the wall by my computer to remind me of them. Perhaps they should be included also.
Tx TT

I’m looking at my post above and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. In one short post I managed to mis-spell widgets twice arrggghh – how embarassing! I assure you that I did not do the same when I used the FAQs search box.
I also tried typing “header sizes” into the FAQs which is another common question we answer on the support forum and came up blank too. I have a yellow sticky note on my computer for those http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/08/which-themes-can-i-add-a-header-image-to/
perhaps they should be included too.
I typed in “more tags” and came up with nothing as well. I also think this phrase should be included.
Tx for listening again.:)

Soemthing else that maybe worthy of including in the FAQs blog that is frequently asked on the forum is instructions fro inserting an image into a text widget and displaying it in a sidebar. I usually provide this walk through for it
-> write post -> upload image -> send image to editor – > copy the entire image code -> presentation -> sidebar widgets – > text widget -> open text widget and paste in the image code – > save changes 🙂

Simple, uncluttered, & nice.
I hadn’t visited the FAQ site for a while; after I’d joined WP actually. I find the Related Questions feature especially helpful. Don’t know if you had that before. And, I didn’t know about Logos, Badges, Buttons, either.
Note to self–Visit FAQ site more often.
