Placing Affiliate Banners in Your WordPress Blog, Part 2 (RQR Basics)
http://RichQuickReview.com/
This is my second video about using affiliate banners in WordPress. In this video, we go into a little more detail and have a look at how to cloak the links in your affiliate banners, how to create your own banners and how to place banners in your blog’s sidebar instead of in the post content.
You’ll see exactly how the HTML code of a banner is composed in which parts of it you can change or manipulate to customize the banner to your needs.
In the video, I also mention link cloaking, without giving much further explanations. If you want to know more about link cloaking (or link redirecting), simply follow the link to my other video displayed in this one.

WordPress Tutorial – Make a “Back to Top” Link (Advanced)
This Advanced-level WordPress Tutorial shows how to insert a “Back to Top” link in a WordPress Page or Post. The tutorial is advanced because it requires use of text editing software and FTP software to download and add HTML code to the header.php file in a WordPress theme. Once you add the HTML code to the header.php file, you can use the Code editing window in the WordPress Dashboard to insert a “Back to Top” link on any page or post. The advanced “Back to Top” link is superior to the “easy” “Back to Top” link covered in an earlier tutorial because it takes you to the top of the page much faster. A faster site provides a better user experience. -Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications

WordPress Tutorial – Edit a Sidebar File Using a Text Editor
This Advanced-level WordPress tutorial shows how to download, edit and upload a WordPress theme sidebar file (sidebar.php) using FTP software and a text editor. This is considered an advanced WordPress tutorial because you work with the files for the WordPress theme. You do not use the WordPress Dashboard in this tutorial. The tutorial assumes you know how to setup and use FTP software on your computer so that you can download and upload the sidebar file. It also assumes you know how to open a text file like sidebar.php using a text editor. On a PC, common text editors are Notepad and Wordpad. On a Mac, the default text editor is TextEdit. A good Macintosh text editor for HTML and PHP files is BBEdit.

WordPress Tutorial – Howto Make a “Back to Top” of Page Link
This Beginner-level WordPress Tutorial shows how to make a “Back to Top” link that you can insert at the bottom of a Page or Post – or in the middle of a long Page or Post – that takes you back to the top of the page when you click on it. This tutorial shows the easy way to create a “Back to Top” link. There is an advanced way that is covered in a separate tutorial. The advanced way takes you to the top of the page faster than the easy way because it works without reloading (refreshing) the page. But the advanced method involves adding a bit of HTML to the header.php text file in the WordPress theme, so you cannot use the advanced method on wordpress.com sites.

WordPress Tutorial – Make Static Page Your Home Page -Part 3
This WordPress Tutorial follows-up to the tutorials “Make a Static Page Your Home/Front Page” and “Make a Static Page Your Home Page – Part 2″. Tutorial Part 2 shows how to hide the link to a page that you use as your home page so that people aren’t confused by the fact that there are two links to the same page in your main site navigation. That technique works when you have navigation in the sidebar that shows subpages AND you actually have subpages that are part of your site. If you don’t have subpages, there is no way to hide the link to your home page because it will show up in the navigation as a subpage link. So, instead, this tutorial Part 3 shows you how to customize a sidebar using WordPress Widgets. This allows you to remove the page navigation from the sidebar. That way, you can make the home page a subpage and the link won’t show in the main navigation. Confused? Forgive me! It’s not as hard as it may sound. Check out the tutorial and you will see what I mean.
