WordPress All the Things!
What you see above this sentence is the post featured image. It appears automagically!
And if you use an RSS to email service like Feedburner or MailChimp, your featured image is part of your RSS feed, too!
What about videos?
Want to highlight a YouTube video or some other sort of video in a post? It’s easy! Just follow the WordPress guidelines for using an embed. For example, below is an episode of the Genesis Office Hours podcast featuring Brian Gardner.
(hint – I just pasted the YouTube link in via the post editor “Text” mode and the video magically appeared)
Want to create a photo gallery?
You can do that, too! Just use WordPress’ built-in gallery shortcode. If you want an all-out tutorial, check this one out from WPBeginner.

This is a Sample Post to Demonstrate What Something With a Really Long Title Looks Like
You know, I really wouldn’t recommend a title this long, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. If that involves taking up miles with your post title, then be my guest.
While you’re thinking up your next really long post title, why don’t you check out some resources for writing better headlines? For real! Jon Morrow over at Boost Blog Traffic has some good suggestions.
I’m a Big Fan
Of sample pages.
This is an H2 Headline
This is a random paragraph of text. I could insert some bacon ipsum here, or I could just freewheel it. (That last sentence showed an example of a link, in case you missed it.
Are you ready to see a bulleted list? Let’s check out some bullets!
- Pack it up
- Pack it in
- Let me begin
- I came to win
So Jump Around! <– That’s bold text!
Let’s talk about H3 Headlines
We’re not quite as important as H2s, but that doesn’t mean we can be styled nicely. And we’re TOTALLY BETTER than those scrawny H4 and H5 brats.
H4 here, I came to get down.
So get out your seat and jump around!
This is H5 – wait for me
Jump! Jump!
Markup: Text Alignment
Default
This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.
Left Align
This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it’s views. It’s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.
Center Align
This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.
Right Align
This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it’s views. It’s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it’s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.
Justify Align
This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it’s place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.

Really cool to read through and find so much awesomeness added to WordPress 3.6 while I was gone. I should take three weeks off more often.
