Happy Memorial Day Weekend in the US.
This week I have seed sprouting, sunscreen, twitter, Facebook, and parkour.
Enjoy!
Learning to be More Assertive with Clients
Last week I wrote a rant called, How Not to Ask for WordPress and Facebook Help, which was about people placing unrealistic expectations on people when asking for free help.
I received great feedback from the article in the comments, through Twitter and on Facebook. Learning that others agreed with me and have gone through the same thing increased my confidence and helped me be more assertive.

Converting a Static Website to WordPress: Mary Shelley and Frankenstein Part 2
At the beginning of April I wrote about an older website that I converted to WordPress. This site is about Mary Shelley and Frankenstein and has existed since 1996.
I intended to write this second part in the weeks following but it was only when someone asked me about it a couple of days ago that I realized almost 2 months had gone by and that I still hadn’t written it. There is no simple way to convert an html site to WordPress and if there are a lot of pages it can be a tedious process. It can be the best time to take a close look at your content and determine what needs to be updated, what is irrelevant and what needs to be removed completely.
Here are some of the logistical matters that need to be taken care of when converting an html site to a WordPress one.
How to Select Which Part of a Large Facebook Logo Will Be Your Avatar
One of the trends on Facebook fan pages is using an oversized logo to make a bigger impact. It can be up to 200px wide by 600px high.
One of the problems with an oversized logo is determining which part will be scaled down to make the avatar for the fan page. I used to think that you had to measure out the right segment and have the area you wanted to be the avatar in a specific part of the larger logo. And maybe it used to be this way and I missed that there was a better way. Or maybe the better way is a newer feature (it’s not like Facebook changes things every other day and is poor at communication).
But there’s a really easy way to select the avatar from the larger logo.
