Shortcodes are created in the functions.php file in your theme directory. Open functions.php up and pick a place to put your code. The first thing you are going to do is create a simple function. Try this one.

function Hello() {
return “Hello World”;
}

Then below this you will create the shortcode by typing this…

add_shortcode( ‘hw’, ‘Hello’);

As you can see the first parameter will be the name of your shortcode (hw). The next parameter is the function that your shortcode will execute (Hello).

Now you are free to use this shortcode in any of your pages or posts. Just place Hello World anywhere in your posts or pages in the wordpress editor. When you go to view the post or the page you will see “Hello World”.

But despite all this it is your job to get these sites moved and working correctly on their new server home. You will have to use google extenselvely and learn from the trials of others who have attempted this foolhardy task. If you feel you just can’t do it or a site is giving you problems and you can’t figure it out, fear not. There is a wonderful service called Website Movers that will do all of this for you. It will cost about $60 a site, but sometimes that is money well spent. Now just convince your boss to spend it.

#myDiv {

background:url(images/myImage.png)top left no-repeat;

}

This will not show up in internet explorer. Here’s the fix:

#myDiv {

background:url(images/myImage.png) top left no-repeat;

}

Notice the space between “.png)” and “top”. That’s all you need to do to get your background images to show up in internet explorer.
