Brenda,

Running a self-hosted web site, even if using WordPress, requires some technical understanding. Frankly, there’s no substitute for reading as much as you can (there’s a great “WordPress for Dummies” book on the market – ideal for novice WP users) and being prepared to make mistakes and get frustrated from time to time.

If you would rather put your energies into creating content, etc, use wordpress.com instead. Can be the best option for many people. No technical knowledge needed, no need to learn PHP and CSS – just build a site!

Please post support questions re the Dynamic Content Gallery on my forum. Thanks.

I am a beginner so I thought this would be for me but no. Yes. it is definitely a steep learning curve. I am a confident computer user but obviously do not have what it takes to set up my website with WordPress. You are right, there is a lot of information available and I have read so much I am very confused. I even employed a uni student to help me and he only survived 2 hours and never came back. I know I understood more than he.
Maybe I should start again but where do I start? I have my photos uploaded in the library but I can’t seem to understand how to get them into a page. I know I need to use Dynamic Content Gallery but having difficulties.

Hi,

The Studiopress support forum is best place for this kind of question.

Help – I am having a hard time getting the drop downs to work on the menus for Lexicon Child Theme. I am pretty sure the parent / child relationships and order sequence is right, but cannot get it drop down. Any suggestions??? Thanks…
