THE SECRETIVE VERSE CREATION OPTION IN THE WORDPRESS BLOCK EDITOR

WordPress 6.01 Upgrade Since I was just given the opportunity to upgrade my WORDPRESS SITE to the latest version via an update request on my Dashboard, I automatically did so. It happened so fast on my new laptop that I was immediately confronted with a plethora of newly added features that described what was in store for the creation of new blogs, as well as improved features for converting older blogs into the GUTENBERG BLOCKS FORMAT. However, I did not feel like reading through all of the […]

MAKE GOOGLE DRIVE A PROFITABLE TRANSFER METHOD FOR MOVING VIDEOS

Frustration Exemplified When I got my first IPhone back in 2006, I was surprised by the fact that it operated just like my PC before I gravitated towards a laptop computer. The fact that many functions were interchangeable blew me away. However, the capability to take photographs and videos with an all inclusive electronic device was more than I felt I could ever hope for. And the quality of the pics and my cinematographic efforts turned out far better than the output from my cameras and videocams. […]

UNDERSTANDING THE PINTEREST ENGINE: PHASE I

Putting Pictures in Perspective It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I for one put a lot of effort into either finding, or creating, quality media presentations on the posts I present on my website. They set the tone for the stories that follow them and draw the reader in. I feel that if I can promote my website and novels by creating initial interest through pictures on a promotional platform setting, then I can follow that up with excerpts from my […]

UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF THE WORDPRESS GUTENBERG BLOCK EDITOR_PART II: BASIC MEDIA INSERTIONS

Recap Of Part I I stated in my previous article “UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF THE WORDPRESS GUTENBERG BLOCK EDITOR_PART I”, that it was the first time that I used the Block Editor to write a blog. Kind of risky revealing my learning curve to an audience while I am actually plodding through the process of discovering the basics of the program as I solve each piece of the puzzle in my quest. But that makes the task much more interesting than pursuing some boring explanation of what […]

COMMENTARY DILEMMA PART III: NEW SPAM CHECKER INSTALLED

Reidentification of My Followers I have been remiss in posting new blogs of late because the massive revision work and republishing efforts involved with my first two novels, along with the commensurate completion of my latest creation, have all but chewed up the allowable time I had available. In the meantime, through all of that, my daughter, Stephanie, suggested I write a children’s book for my grandsons, Joshua and Daniel. I had begun writing the first part of that manuscript in spurts, but stopped when I ran […]

LEARNING TO WRITE: TO BE OR NOT TO BE

Falling Out Of Favor With My Nemesis I have recently discovered that my writing skills have been hampered by using one cursed word way too much. It is the glue word “TO”. It has become my easy sentence manipulator and has made my writing talents look less than professional. I have discovered that some sentences written in my previous articles have the word “TO” gluing phrases together as many as 3 or 4 times. That’s almost as bad as using adverbs more than absolutely (adverb) necessary. Let me […]

MY KINDLE DIRECT PUBLISHING EXPERIENCE: PART VI_HEADERS,FOOTERS, & PAGINATION

  Artwork By Stephen J. Key/SJKeyChronicles Frustrations Abound With No Clear Answers When I wrote my third novel, I thought I could save a lot of time and frustration by taking the interior matter of my raw manuscript and just pasting it over the highlighted part of the formatted interior matter of my previously published novel. To a certain extent, this worked fine. The correct margins were maintained and I was able to fixate the chapter titles, sub titles, and quotes in their correct style sets on […]

THE E-READER LANDSCAPE: PART II_CONVERTING HARD COPY TO EDOC FORMAT

Plan Set In Motion  In my previous blog, The E-Reader Landscape: Part I_Converting Hard Copy To Edoc Format, I discussed how I wanted to convert a classic novel into my own format for reading it on my iPad. That novel, The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer, was available online through a website called Project Gutenberg. Their volunteer contributors had Transcripted pages of the original hard copy book, including all the inclusive pictures as well as a photo of the original book cover, and transferred them to an online […]

THE E-READER LANDSCAPE: PART I_CONVERTING HARD COPY TO PERSONALIZED EDOC FORMAT

Image by permissions from Project Gutenberg My Dilemma The day I decided started a blog I faced a problem. How do I find all the information I require for my research? I don’t like reading hard copy material but do appreciate the fact I can access a lot of the necessary  data I am looking for on the internet. In that regards, I don’t have to buy physical books or wander around the library searching for documentation. However, I realized that if I planned on presenting stories […]
