Hi Sean,This type of question is probably best handled in the Q&A Board, but in brief... I would recommend setting up portfolio galleries as pages (as opposed to posts), IF your selected theme does not provide another method for handling portfolios.Many custom themes, such as those created by Graph Paper Press and WooThemes, include a separate content type for portfolios, in addition to posts and pages. These themes actually add a new menu item from which you can manage your portfolio galleries.A premium theme with support for custom portfolios will no doubt be the best way to go, but if you're stuck with a more limited theme, then yes, I would use a page for this purpose, instead of a post.Hope this helps, Shawn

Hi, I’m a photographer & am just getting started building my WP Blog/ website. My question is, when I set up my portfolio galleries, should they be set up as PAGES? SInce the content won’t change all that frequently, but it will when I want to show new work. Thanks!!

Hi Yolanda,

Yes, you can safely bulk delete them, which will merely send them to the “Trash,” where they may be restored at any time. The Page Templates will still be available to your other pages, so no worry of deleting those.

Hope this helps!

I uploaded a theme and it came with demo pages installed which is great but some I won’t need–right now. How do ‘hide’ them without deleting them from my site? Do I bulk edit them and choose ‘private’ or ‘draft’ or can I delete them without erasing them as a page style to choose from when I am ready for that page layout?
That was wordy but I hope you got it?!
Cheers!

Elizabeth,
The font sizes are usually determined by your site’s theme, in the style.css file. But there are a few other ways to resize fonts.

You can use the H3, H4, H5, etc. styles to convert text into a headline of various sizes. (The header style tags are in a drop-down menu in the second row—the “kitchen sink” row—of additional styling options in the formatting toolbar. This was covered in the 2nd video in this series.)

Alternatively, you can switch to the HTML editor mode, and format your text manually, using HTML. Here’s an example…

Formatted Text

This would produce the following: Formatted Text

Hope these formatting tips at least point you in the right direction.
