Developing WordPress websites

October 31, 2011 By

WordPress is the most popular entry level publishing

platform on the market today and the cost is just
right, its free. 

There is no excuse for developing and creating your own website and you can do
just about anything you want within reason.


Get Easy WP config Software utility for creating and helping users install wordpress websites. 

  • Have you considered developing a wordpress website?
  • Have you heard that google loves wordpress and so that is why you should use it?
  • Are you not as technical as you might want?

If you answered yes to any of those questions then you are in the right place.

Creating a wordpress developer blog

Installing WordPress is not really a five minute process as the famous or infamous saying goes, it takes a little time to learn it, however if you do it often enough you can learn to do this in five minutes or less, but most of the time it will take you about one hour.

There are a number of things you can do to reduce the learning curve.

  1. First use a Cpanel Host, it is just easier and most of the time the configuration is setup for us technically challenged individuals.
  2. zip up your wordpress file system and upload it to your desired directory, usually under public_html
  3. setup a MySQL database and user name, (copy paste this date into a text file for later reference)
  4. de-compress your wordpress files from your Cpanel.
  5. open wp-config-sample.php and fill in the necessary connection information.  (then save that file as wp-config.php and upload it to your wp install folder)
  6. Go to your domain.com/ and install the database.
  7. Your setup, now the real fun can begin.

Setting up a wordpress website may seem a little complex if you have never done it before but after you master this process you can easily do it again and again.

You can also find many useful guides to installing Lamp software such as WordPress online, and at youtube as well.

The thing about learning this process is that it is something that you need to learn how to do if you really want to develop for the web and the internet.

Google goes to war?

August 8, 2011 By

Look out blog farms, look out you oinkers, cause Google is a gunning for you.

You grey hat marketers, Google has set its sights on better content for consumers, which believe it or not is really a good thing, but how much of a good thing is it really.

 

Many websites and even a lot of publishers have begun to move toward a strict indoctrination of what it means when you say quality content is of value.

What is valuable to the reader?

Well folks the news is in and perhaps even the fix is in, google has announced that it is officially and allegedly going to demode many websites, that are using techniques that they (google) does not like, and for the most part we agree, the practice of scraping content from other websites has been frowned upon by google, however, it is only very recently that the community of developers has begun to see something concrete from Google about what is expected from a well behaved and politically correct website.

Is this the end of the Auto Blogging business model?

We sure hope so, because too long have the content scrapers been lurking around the dark corners of the internet looking for content to publish.

So if you have been playing around and taking content from other websites, look out because the time is coming where you may find that your website will not be getting as much traffic as it used to get.

What can you do to create a better website?

What can you do to develop better content?

What can you do to enhance the user experience at your website?

These are questions that you need to ask and get an answer to them, then you must implement those answers in a meaningful way.

Blogging and writing

August 1, 2011 By

Developing good website content is more than just the sum of its parts, it is much more.

Do you blog and write copy online?

Are you constantly challenged with how to create compelling content?

Creative thinking is all about what you can do with the time you have in a day.

Generating unique valuable content.

Producing content is a full time job.

The more you blog, the more traffic you can get.

The more you write, the better your website will become.

How much time do you spend writing every day?

An hour, Two, Five?

Tempus edax rerum – Time is the devourer of things

You could say it devours everything. . .

If you are like most people you only have so much time to get your work done during the day and if you are like even more people you work a second job, in addition to the main work that you do.

In these challenging times, one of the most important things you can do for your self is to make the most of every moment you have to blog and write effectively.

Getting the most out of your time spent blogging.

Do you enjoy writing and producing content and

How much time do you think you need to spend in order to really keep web site visitors interested?

You know what takes the most time and energy is keeping your website updated and running smoothly.

What do you do when you write, do you just put down a few words or have you not done anything to your blog for months?

Is your website optimized for getting the attention of the search engines?

Are you doing everything you can to create a successful website experience for your visitors?

Do you have a plan to achieve success in your business?

How much time do you spend working online?

Do you blog on a regular basis, if so how much time do you spend blogging, 10 min a day, 30 min a day, an hour?

Literally it could be a full time job and for most people there is little or no reward at all, low traffic counts makes it difficult to find the right balance and mix of content, these days it is not just about writing, though that is important, but also about media, videos, audio, pictures, and more.

There are literally hundreds of social book marking systems, out there, which ones do you spend your precious time using?

Stats, tell us that for every one successful blogger there are literally ten thousand that are not successful.

So how do you stay ahead of the curve, how do you keep up with the jones, of the internet world?

That may be harder than it sounds, but one thing for sure is that you keep on working you keep on adding content to your blog, and you keep on keeping on, you dont quite, which is what 90 percent of bloggers do, they quite.

For one reason or another, they get tired of working for hours and hours and accomplishing little or nothing in the way of recognition.

It makes sense really and it is understandable after all it is not for everyone, but for those that manage to get the ingredients just right and the magic happens, it can be a lot of fun, so keep on, you never know when you might just be right around the corner from success.
