This is a new thread for wordpress users. True, you can set up amazing sites (static sites, membership sites, e-commerce, sites with forums, etc) using wordpress and your understanding of the CMS including customization, configuration, plugins, and widgets makes it unique.

You can ask your wordpress questions here and i will do my best to provide answers (also with the help of other experienced WP users). You will also get WP tips, tricks, and customization techniques from time to time here.
Good luck.

NB: If you cant ask your questions here for some reasons and you need direct help from wordpress masters, you can contact these NL members. They will help you for FREE or for a FEE depending on how well you bargain with them and "ask" for their help. If your name isnt here and you are very good with wordpress you can contact me to add yours too.

FOR AMATEUR CODERS
When using wordpress, you always download good looking themes which you have to customize. And since most of the themes are free, you always encounter the problem of "linkbacks" or certain ads at the bottom of the site and most times these look annoying and "unprofessional". What do you do? Yes, you can edit or "customize" that part. All you have to do is go to the "editor" menu on the left of your dashboard, click and look for "footer.php" on the right and edit. Below is a pictorial guide

Esiri111: Databoy , i have a bp site www.gcliqq.tk how can i redirect users to another page on the site ! eg gcliqq.tk/ to gcliqq.tk/activity using htaccess.

To redirect the whole domain to just the /activity directory, add this to your .htaccess

Redirect / http://gcliqq.tk/activity

If you dont know how to code, you have to learn if not everything, at least the basics. First thing learn is html and later you go into php. You should understand header, body, footer sections of websites as this will help you do customizations when using wordpress. You can learn basic html from www.w3schools.com

HOW TO CREATE A SIDEBAR AD IMAGE THAT LINKS TO ANOTHER SECTION OF YOUR WEBSITE (for newbies)

1. Click on widget in the dashboard under the "Appearance" menu.

2. Drag the "plain text/html widget" to the sidebar box.

3. Go to the "Media" menu and select the photo you uploaded (make sure its within the size of 300x250 pixels. Copy the image link url (which should be like this: http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/images.jpg) - see pic below.

4. Use this code;

 <a href="http://mysite.com"><img src="http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/images.jpg"></a> 

the http://mysite.com is your website link OR you can put http://mysite.com/page which is the link to a page in your site. Also, the image url you copied from the "media Library" should be placed where the other http:// link is.

5. Copy the code in your widget textbox and save.....thats it! When someone clicks on the image on your sidebar, it re-directs them to the page you want them to visit. GBAM!!

wordpress is not difficult to install, but if you find it hard you can make use of third party installers inside your cpanel like quickinstall or softaculous.
Wordpress is used by many because of its extensive documentation and thousands of plugins that can help you turn your site into anything you want if used well. Same applies with joomla. Its just a matter of personal preference.
