a bit stuck with WP

[Evilsizer]

does anyone know how to make pages for the reviews/articles in WP? i would like to break things up a bit since with the pics, it is running to long for me. i prefer to have pages instead of scrolling through one long page. can anyone point me in the direction of doing linking via text like in this review?

The linked review doesn't have pages that I can see; where are you seeing that?

As far as pagination, we don't have that capability. It requires a plugin that would be a pain to ask people that don't always mess around in WP to learn. I like pagination for super long articles (such as my water cooling guide; it would have been nice for that one), but more often than not one page is fine. As such, we don't have pagination in our articles. At least that's the conclusion after a lively debate long ago.

sorry the first question doesnt go with the link i posted. it is more for the how to make say my forum name evilsizer come up as a link. samething if i was to make the or post the price with a link to newegg.

Ahh, ok gotcha. Your author page is there but doesn't have any articles yet. The first will show up when this review is posted. We can go ahead and the link to it though. Mine is: http://www.overclockers.com/author/hokiealumnus/ , thus yours is http://www.overclockers.com/author/evilsizer/

The question is: how do you want your name to appear? I do "-Real Name (forum handle)" and link my handle to the author page. Others just use their handle and link it. Up to you how you want to do that.

yea im going with real name then forum name. what do i need to put in to the article to do that or is it a option in WP?

[hokiealumnus]

Nah, it has to be done manually; in fact I just did it. :thup:

[Evilsizer]

ok so what about doing text-links in my article then to newegg for the case/pricing.

[hokiealumnus]

Ahh, sorry; must have missed that question. You just type whatever text you want and highlight it. Then click the link (infinity symbol looking thing) button and paste your newegg link. Be sure to check the 'open in new window' check box.

I'm not trying to hijack here, but figured this is semi on topic. When we link our names at the end of an article, is it preferred that we link to our forum profile or news team profile?

I only ask because I think I have always linked my forum profile in the past, and have a case review that I need to get written up.

At the end of an article, I always link to the author profile b/c it's more 'related' to articles. People click on it and can continue reading your work if they like what they just read. I think it would be a good idea to switch to that.

Don't worry about past articles though, we can just leave those as-is. Just use your author page in the future. :)
