Change the About text

Note: Do not copy and past the code below into your .php files.  This code has been formatted through html.  Please type in the actual code into your .php file.  This also helps you learn how to code html and you’ll be a CSS master in no time  :)

1. Open up header.php for JunPress or open up sidebar.php for PhenPress

2. The code that you will be looking for is in the “about” div which is seen here:

<div id=”about”>

<div id=”about-left”>

<div id=”about-title”>
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”<?php echo get_bloginfo(’url’);?>/about/”>About</a>
</div>

<div id=”about-description”>
Description about you that you can edit.
<p />
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”<?php echo get_bloginfo(’url’);?>/about/”>Learn more about me</a>
</div>

</div>

<div id=”about-image”>
<img src=”http://junloayza.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/junpress-about.jpg” alt=”JunPress About Image”>
</div>

</div>

3. To change the title of the About section, change the “about-title” div

<div id=”about-title”>
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”<?php echo get_bloginfo(’url’);?>/about/”>About Jun</a>
</div>

4. To change the description for the About section, change the “about-description” div

<div id=”about-description”>
My name is Jun Loayza and I am the Co-Founder of Viralogy.com
<p />
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”<?php echo get_bloginfo(’url’);?>/about/”>Find out more about me</a>
</div>

5. Put it all together and you get

<div id=”about”>

<div id=”about-left”>

<div id=”about-title”>
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”<?php echo get_bloginfo(’url’);?>/about/”>About Jun</a>
</div>

<div id=”about-description”>
My name is Jun Loayza and I am the Co-Founder of Viralogy.com
<p />
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”<?php echo get_bloginfo(’url’);?>/about/”>Find out more about me</a>
</div>

</div>

<div id=”about-image”>
<img src=”http://junloayza.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/junpress-about.jpg” alt=”JunPress About Image”>
</div>

</div>
