WordPress techie volunteer needed

[Bradley in DC]

I'm looking for someone familiar with WordPress to hold my hand. Switching servers now, and I want to get a jump on the transition before the person helping me can pick up again next week.

Person should have lots of patience with a techno-peasant and a willingness to describe everything in a plain English.

Thanks!

Thanks. We have a theme (I think), I just need help getting some page links working and to learn how to add a bunch of new material.

EDIT: that site is way over my head, sorry. We all have different skill sets. I'm not the ones and zeros guy.

well, the theme pretty much controls the whole site. if you are talking wordpress page links you need this somewhere in template.


<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>

This is part of the tutorial that deals with page links.

also, if you are adding new material, you will want to decide if it is going to be a post, a page, a widget, syndicated content (rss or atom feeds) etc.

do you have a link to the existing site?

btw, if you site is already running wordpress, then really its sounds like you just need to log in as the admin or editor to add your new content. i sent you a PM with my number if you want to call me. I have about 30 minutes before I need to head out.
