Be sure to use the HTML tab in your editor. Then, copy the embed code from YouTube, paste, and publish. Simple is good!
Posada Del Colorado Site Launch
Working with Captain John Spencer was a pleasure. He knew what he wanted to do in converting his site from static HTML to a content management system. We chose WordPress for its simple interface and SEO optimization. We started with Canvas by WooThemes, a nice framework to work with.
We launched the site a little over a week ago. Check it out: www.posadadelcolorado.com (or www.fishposada.com).

Below is a quick tutorial on adding an image to WordPress. If you use images hosted elsewhere (Flickr, SmugMug, etc.) use the “From URL” tab in the image dialog box (figure 1).

New Texas Rugby Union Site Launched
We have launched the new Texas Rugby Union site. It’s built on WordPress, using a modified theme (Busy Bee) from WooThemes. We’ve incorporated Google Apps (calendar, docs, etc) for the schedule and the standings pages. HUGE improvement over the previous edition, and uber-flexible for the future.

Recommended WordPress Discussion Settings
Posted on May 26, 2011 by Brian Dusablon in Blog, Resources, WordPress
WordPress commenting is a common target for spammers. There are several plugins that can help with spam filtering, but many people overlook some simple discussion settings in the basic WordPress install.
In the Admin area, navigate to Settings > Discussion.
Here is a screenshot of our minimum recommended settings:
Additionally, you can check the boxes under “Before a comment appears” to moderate comments further. Checking “An administrator must always approve the comment” requires every comment to be held in moderation until you approve it.
Checking “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” allows you to approve a comment author’s first comment, and then automatically approve all future comments from that author.
The most effective setting change is to lower the “Hold a comment in the queue if it contains __ or more links” from 2 to 1. Most spam bots post links inside the content of their comment. Most commenters do not.
More information can be found in the WordPress Codex.
