Visual editor formatting

[edit]

To format text in the visual editor, click the "A" button, highlight your text, and choose the format.

  • The "Bold" item (B) bolds the selected text.
  • The "Italic" item (I) italicizes the selected text.
  • The "Superscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and to be slightly higher than the surrounding text.
  • The "Subscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and slightly lower than the surrounding text.
  • The "Strikethrough" item (S) adds a solid bar through the selected text.
  • The "Computer code" item (a set of curly brackets: {}) changes the font of the selected text to a monospaced font, which sets it apart from surrounding (proportionally spaced) text.
  • The "Underline" item (U) adds a solid line beneath the selected text.
  • The "Language" item (Aあ) allows you to label the language (for example, Japanese) and direction (for example, right-to-left) of the selected text.
  • The final item, "Clear styling" (  ⃠ ), removes all character formatting from the selected text, including links.

If you have not selected any text, then when you click the "A" to open the menu, and then select an item, that formatting will apply to the text that you start typing, from wherever your cursor is located.Test test test

Article Evaluation: WordPress

[edit]
  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Yes
  • Is there anything that distracted you? It's brief in the beginning but there is a big difference between WordPress.org & WordPress.com which a lot of people get confused about
  • Is any information out of date? The updates to the software are there, however I wouldn't mind a basic WordPress tips section. Although that may appear biased since its a starter tips section.
  • Is anything missing that could be added? More clarification between WordPress.com and WordPress.org; I find a lot of people get confused between the two since there is a big difference.
  • What else could be improved? A very clear difference between WordPress.org & WordPress.com because they are two completely different things
    • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Yes, No
    • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Yes, the difference between WordPress.com & WordPress.org
      • What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? Alot of confusion between the two, and only a few responses added to the article in 2018.
      • How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is apart of 3 wikiprojects but its rated as a C & there was discussion of deletion in 2006.
      • How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? It's very neutral, and the wikipedians keep accountability on each other so the article is accurate. The fact its free though causes a lot of people to drop off the article from what it appears.
  • I'm going to be ambitious and add an edit to Wordpress wikipedia page
  • added a paragraph to it, and cited https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/ to explain the difference in more detail


WordPress add on 1st attempt (got revised for being confusing to a user)

[edit]

Not to be confused with WordPress.com, although the owners of WordPress.com created WordPress itself, WordPress.org offers the free and open-source content management system known as WordPress. The website also contains examples of some of the plug-ins you can install into WordPress created by the community, as well as some support articles. You can still create a WordPress website off of WordPress.com however the web hosting is through the company WordPress which you'll need to pay for their hosting, and they don't provide 24/7 Support where as other hosting providers may. To be clear you don't need a wordpress.com account or hosting to use the Website Builder known as WordPress. The plugin known as WordPress can be installed into many different types of web hosting options.[1]

Final Exam Submission

Overview

[edit]

"WordPress is a factory that makes webpages"[1] is a core analogy designed to clarify what WordPress is & does. It stores your content that allows you to create & publish webpages only requiring a domain and a hosting site to work.

WordPress 5.0 Bebo

[edit]

Upon the recent release of WordPress 5.0 Bebo formerly known as Project Gutenberg. WordPress made revisions to how the default editor handles editing content inside pages and posts. Now using what is referred to as a block-based editor; it allows users to modify their displayed content in a much more user friendly editor than prior iterations.

Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage.[2]

This release is named in homage to the pioneering Cuban jazz musician Bebo Valdés.[3]

Past content that was created on WordPress pages is listed under what is referred to as a Classic Block[4]

Classic Editor plugin

[edit]

The Classic Editor Plugin was created as result of User preferences & as a way to help website developers to maintain past plugins only compatible with WordPress 4.9.8 giving plugin developers time to get their plugins updated & compatible with the 5.0 release. Having the Classic Editor plugin installed restores the "classic" editing experience that WordPress has had up until the WordPress 5.0 release.[6] The Classic Editor Plugin is set to be considered a legacy item and will be supported at least until 2022[7]
