Several items came through in today’s RSS feed that shouldn’t have, and I want to apologize to all my RSS readers out there. I recently upgraded to WP 2.3.1, and the plugin that was supposed to exclude certain content from the RSS feed is no longer compatible. That’s the trouble with using plugins I suppose.
Introduction: This entire post was compiled from posts made by Iskwew, one of our repeat customers and a frequent contributor to our forum. She raises so many good points that we wanted to share this with the Solostream community through our website.

This tutorial provides step-by-step directions on how to install WordPress on your own server.
I’m doing a little experimentation with streaming video on a WordPress site. As part of that experimentation, I created a brief video introduction to WordPress. I think it’s like 15 minutes long.

There are probably over 1000 free WordPress blog themes/templates out there. Yet, I still get people who write and ask me to help them design their own. And that’s cool. After all, it’s a great way to express one’s creativity. This post marks the first in a series to help you do just that: create your own WordPress blog theme. Before we get into WordPress blog/theme design, however, we need to talk a little bit about WordPress itself.
My tutorial on adding Flash video to your Worpdress site was pretty popular … this tutorial is designed to make it easy for you to add Quicktime video to your WordPress site.
