Essentially, when you’re registering a domain name for your PCCWeb site, you just have to specify in change the nameserver settings that you are hosting your site with another provider. Then, you have to tell your registrar to point your domain name to the PCCWeb webserver. You do this by changing your nameserver entries. These must be changed to:

GoDaddy.com requires nameservers with IP addresses; however, not all registrars will require these.

Again, we can help with this process. Just let us know.

The crux of the tutorial is as follows:

• Avoid copying text from MS Word. If you have to, you can try using the ‘Paste from Word’ feature, which should work most of the time, but not always: not all styling/formatting will be removed. Instead, copy from Word, paste into a text editor like TextEdit (Mac) or NotePad (PC) first, to remove the unseen formatting that Word adds to text.
• Check (and experiment with) the HTML editor. If there is something not displaying correctly, it’s probably a tag hidden in the HTML editor. The HTML editor will show you exactly what will be output to the screen (NOTE: With the exception of <p> tags, but only sometimes . . .).
• Don’t use Headers (h1, h2, etc) to increase font size. If you feel that your theme’s font size is too small, this can easily be adjusted by installing the Custom CSS plugin. If you don’t have administrator status on your site, just ask me to install it. This is an easy way to make changes to theme elements like font-size.

One correction to the video: if you only want a link to a Google Map, instead of an embedded Google Map, you’ll want to grab the “Paste link in email or IM” code” instead of the “Paste HTML to embed in website” code from the Link box on the Google Maps page. That way your link won’t be wrapped in <small> tags, which makes your font tiny.

Note that this only works with mp3s (not WMAs — Windows Media). When you insert an audio file into your post for download, an embedded player will automatically be created.

I didn’t have time (the screencasts cut out at 5 min) to show how the sermon tag works. Just try clicking on the ’sermon’ tag which should show up just under the post title after you create your sermon post. That will bring you to a auto-generated page displaying all posts tagged ’sermon’. It’s handy: you then can create a link to that ‘page’ (e.g. www.yourwebsite.com/tag/sermon) and have an automatic sermon page.
