There are two plugins that I use in conjunction to help with this problem. One is WP-Cleanup, which will allow you to clean out all of those revisions. The second is Revision Control that will keep them from building up in the first place. So, run WP-Cleanup first, and then activate Revision Control.

This is an interesting video. In my rush to just 'get going' I have overlooked plenty of plugins that can improve my site. I am about to change it all over with a different Theme too. I was wondering about Fonts so TinyMCE Advanced will help. Thanks again. Excellently explained. Best Wishes Andy Moore PS. I wouldn't say you were a geek. Enthusiastic maybe, but not geeky! ;-) Thanks, MaAnna.

I redo my sites about every 18 months or so because online marketing trends change and so does my business. Right now I'm looking into responsive designs that auto-detect the device on which they are being read and adjust to fit. It's a tricky thing to do since I have videos and such, but that's the way things are going and will eventually become the standard I believe. Steph, so glad the info is helpful.

I'm currently in a training program that offers a 'free' website to its students, but gosh, if you're kind of embarrassed to send anyone there, what's the point? AND the info above on SEO really helps, as my 'free' site features pictures that take up all the above-the-fold space with no benefit to the visitor. Thanks, MaAnna. You always inspire me to reach further. All of this great info just solidifies my desire to do a redo of my site.

It drew me in, and got me thinking. Yes, my blog has been a charity site, and not very effective at fundraising. I am embracing visibility and making more direct offers.

Just looks like they are taking a different marketing angle. If they're going to continue to give it away, might as well collect user's email addresses to promote more of their wares. They've been making a lot of marketing changes there since last summer when the placed that gold strip banner at the top of your admin pages. That really angered a lot of folks because there was no way to remove it for about a month and they were dodging it on their support forum. Let's hope they learned their lesson about how easy it is to loose users. Marc, I’m pretty sure they’ll bring it back. Just looks like they are taking a different marketing angle.

Even their old website links don't work. Here's the new one. http://www.shareaholic.com/publishers/get_share_button It looks like they removed it from the repository and have folks registering to download widget code. But that's not the same code as the one that goes below your posts and pages. They have a link to their plugin, which is what you're looking for, but it goes back to the WordPress.org repository and is not there either. So, they must be updating that as well. Great, now I'll have to make a new video, won't I? I'll keep on top of it this week and put out a post as soon as they have everything available again. Thanks again for letting me know.

You'll find those in the Attributes module in the right column when you are in the text editor of one of your pages. Check that and see if it is set to one-column. That would knock out your sidebar appearing. (To have a sidebar, you need two columns, one for content and one for the sidebar.) You'll notice that the BlogAid home page doesn't have a sidebar, but it has a couple of widgetized areas below the content section and that's where I placed the opt-in for it. I do the same thing on my "landing" pages too. Andy, most themes come with a couple of different page templates.
