Intro

Ever wonder where your music gets stored whether you’re subscribed to iTunes match or apple music? If you’re subscribed to iTunes match, it will attempt to match all the songs you currently own with songs available on the iTunes Store, the rest are uploaded to your iCloud music library the original songs stay where they are. The same goes for Apple Music except for the songs you own are matched with songs in the Apple Music library, the only caveat with having just Apple music once you download those songs which you add to your library a little thing called DRM(digital rights management) is added so you don’t willy-nilly run off and use the songs. To differentiate between the two I’m going to show you how to create smart playlists for iTunes match and Apple music respectively.

Intro

Ever wanted to reference any LDS scriptures in your blog that you want to study further? Ever wanted to reference any LDS scriptures to correlate with what you say in your blog? Have I got a wordpress plugin for you. It’s called the LDS Scripture Linker and it essentially converts any scripture reference you put on your blog into links to said scripture references which will be highlighted when the link is clicked.

Tutorial Requirements

A wordpress blog and
The plugin

Instructions

Make sure the LDS Scripture Linker is installed and activated.
Configure or set up the plugin to suit your needs. I set the plugin up like this:

Independence Day: Alma 46:12-16
Christmas: 3 Nephi 1:15, Luke 2:7
Easter: Luke 24:4-6, 3 Nephi 11:7-11
