Question Asked: How Do I Change My WordPress Theme?
Assuming you’ve already got a new theme uploaded, activating it is simple.
- Make sure you’re logged into your Admin Panel.
- Click “Appearance” to expand the menu.
- Click “Themes”
- Click the thumbnail image of the one you want to activate to preview the site, and make sure things look correct.
- Click “Activate” in the top right corner of the preview window.
Alternately, if you’ve already previewed the theme, you can simply click “Activate” below that theme on the Themes page, without previewing it.
It’s that simple. If your theme doesn’t look right in the preview mode, it’s possible that it was designed for an older version of WordPress and is missing a lot of the code that’s necessary to make things look and work correctly. If you’ve got an issue, feel free to post a comment and I’ll do my best to help you out.

Question Asked: How Do I Download Mail From A Second Account to My Gmail Account?
If you’ve got more than one e-mail address, and don’t want to go through the hassle of checking multiple inboxes for your messages, you can use a feature of Gmail that downloads your mail into Gmail.
To set this up, login to your Gmail account as your normally would.
Click “Settings” in the top right corner of the screen, then click the “Accounts” tab.
Under the second section down, click the “Add a mail account you own” link, which will pop up a window on your screen. Follow through the few steps and provide the information that the website asks for.
Keep in mind that not all free e-mail providers allow this method of getting your mail, called POP3. The majority of e-mail services that you pay for should allow this, though.
Once you finish going through the steps, you’ll see that under the “Get mail from other accounts” section says “Checking mail…” next to your new address.
Now when someone sends mail to your other address, it’ll show up in your Gmail inbox. You can reply from that same e-mail address.
Be sure to select “Reply from the same address the message was sent to” under the “When receiving a message” section. This ensures that the reply you send always comes from the address that someone sent the e-mail to, not from your Gmail account.
Question Asked: How Do I Use An iTunes Gift Card?
An iTunes gift card is pretty easy to “use” or “redeem”, and highly beneficial, because it’ll store that balance in your account. So you don’t have to use it all at once, all your future purchases will use the gift card, until it’s gone.
To redeem a gift card, you’ll need to open iTunes.
- Click on the “iTunes Store” link.
- Then click on your e-mail address in the top right corner of the window.
- You’ll be prompted for your password, to authenticate.
- Click on “Edit Payment Information”
- You’ll see the “Gift Cards and Certificates” section. Click on the arrow in a circle.
- Enter your redemption code on the back of your gift card(s), and click “Redeem”
- That’s it.
The balance automatically gets added to your account, and will be deducted from as you buy things from both iTunes, or your iPhone/iPod.
As of now, there is no limit on how much credit you can have in your account. However, that is subject to change at any given point in time.
Question Asked: How Do I Export To MP3 From Garageband?
If, like me, you’re used to Adobe Audition, or ProTools, you’re looking for an easy “Export to MP3″ option, in the File menu, which there isn’t.
Though it’s not very hard to export to an MP3 in Garageband.
Once you’ve got your mix all set, and ready to mixdown to an MP3, just do the following:
1) Select “Share”
2) Select “Send to iTunes”
3) Fill out the necessary fields that Garageband asks you for.
4) Open in iTunes.
Once in iTunes, you can convert the AIFF file to an MP3. (The default export from Garageband is AIFF, but easily changeable.)
Once the file’s in iTunes, you can just navigate to your iTunes library folder on your computer, and the MP3 is there, just like any other track in your iTunes library. Pretty simple.
