Looking for Scarlet’s Walk Sheet Music by Tori Amos
I bought an electric piano about 1.5 years ago and my daughter has been taking lessons for a year now.
She is slowly improving but grumbles about taking lessons. She is under the mistaken impression that she can teach herself how to play – “just like Tori Amos.” I tell my daughter she needs lessons because Tori Amos is a genius at the piano and my daughter is no Tori Amos.
How to Change the Length of the Default WordPress Excerpt
The WordPress excerpt is the first part of your post, unless you use optional excerpts, and will end with [...]. This is not a read more or continue reading link. The default WordPress excerpt is 55 characters.
Recently, I was working on project where the the main post page displays ads that have a very short blurb about them and then the full ad uses custom fields to display the rest of the pertinent information. One ad blurb was slightly longer than the others so we were getting the excerpt [...]. Since this wasn’t happening with any other ads and was unlikely to happen very often, I decided that I wanted to make the excerpt longer so the content wouldn’t get split.
How to Delete the Uncategorized Category in WordPress
Have you ever noticed that you can’t delete the Uncategorized Category in WordPress? You can rename it, but you can’t remove it.

This issue, however, can be quickly fixed by adding a small piece of CSS to your style sheet.
How to Increase the Size of the Edit Screen in WordPress 3.5
Almost three years ago I wrote an article about how to increase the size of the writing space in WordPress.
In the new version of WordPress, 3.5, that setting is no longer available under Settings > Writing. Instead you can increase the size on the writing screen and the setting will be retained each time you use WordPress.

How to Fix the WooCommerce Template or Layout Problem on Certain WordPress Themes
I’ve been doing quite a bit of work with WooCommerce recently and it has quickly become one of my favorite e-commerce solutions for WordPress. WooCommerce is a free plugin by WooThemes.
I am not planning on review WooCommerce or it’s features other than to say I like it because there are plenty of reviews out there.
Hide the WordPress Comments Link When Comments are Deactivated
On many WordPress sites the post meta is displayed below the title on the main blog page, the single post page and sometimes the archive page. This is the data that displays the author, date and number of comments.
Recently I was working on a project where some posts were going to have comments but others were not. Comments were going to be allowed on a post by post basis. I wanted to hide the comments link part of the post meta on posts were comments were not allowed but display it on ones that did have comments.
