I happened to be in Vegas for the expo. It was a lot of fun and met a few very interesting people. I am now looking forward for this years expo again.

Hi Lisa. Bought and read your book last weekend. I loved it. Very well done.

I have a question. What in your opinion is the appropriate version of WordPress (regular or MU) for a person who plans to have 5-7 blogs. These are all of a related business nature, but will have separate URLs. Is there a way under regular wordpress to administer a group of separate blogs like this easily? Or does it justify the jump to MU? What is the tipping point? Thanks again and looking forward to your response.

Which one is actually better, wordpress or blogger? I use blogspot at the moment. I’m a web designer trying to expand my knowledge of blogs as well. :d

Have fun Lisa.

Hey I need some convincing arguments to get someone to jump from Blogger to WP. Any arguments you could share with me?

Hi Laurie – You probably want to check which part of the book you are reading that in. I’m guessing you read that in the (hosted) WordPress.Com section.

The people who answered you in the support groups are correct, in the hosted WordPress.Org version, you cannot upload an author photo unless you have a plugin.

However, in the hosted, WordPress.Com version, you definitely can upload an author photo in the Profile and Personal Options section of the admin panel.

The book is broken up into three distinct parts: WordPress.Com, WordPress.Org and WordPress MU.

Thanks for reading, and for stopping by!

Hi Lisa –

I just purchased your book “WordPress for Dummies.” I am also just starting my blog; I am a dummie. Your book says that I can post an “author photo” simply by using the “My Picture” box on the “Your Profile and Personal Options” page.

There is no “My Picture” box on the “Your Profile and Personal Options” page. There seems to be no way to post an author photo.

When I search for help on the WordPress groups, I hear all sorts about plug-ins and codes and whatnot.

I have spent six hours on this. How do I post my author photo?

Thank you very much,

Laurie
