    You’ll note that this is an old tutorial. In general, YouTube comment features are crap, so I don’t do a good job of monitoring. Google ‘Business Blogging 101′ and you will find the McBuzz tutorials website.

    Guys, there really isn’t any ‘Add New Theme’ button anymore. You just go to the Appearance section, click THEME, then you’re gonna see a little search box on top of a couple of themes. And beside the search box is something that says FEATURE FILTERS. So you click that and viola.

    These features are available on WordPress 2.7 and up. Just check your version and if you decide to upgrade, make sure your installed plugins are compatible first.
