Makes you wonder at times, if Sponsors aren’t perhaps a bit greedy, or is it the affiliate? Who deserves the credit for a sale, if the surfer doesn’t join at the original price point but does when offered a cheaper price to join? Should it be split, as any normal sale, or should it be kept entirely by the Sponsor? Kind of also makes one wonder, about other practises, such as shaving, and exit consoles. Continue reading

Who hasn’t made an assumption, that turned out to be wrong? We all do it, and at times, that can really lead to some headaches, especially if you have to go back and correct a few posts, like fifty or sixty or a hundred. However, there are some ways to help speed that up, such as with the wordpress rss feed plug-in. Continue reading

Wordpress does it make it simple, sort of, to add automation to your blog. You can add feeds from various sponsors, to help populate your blog, but like anything, you need to plan ahead, plan for the additions. One thing to remember is that when you have the basics set up, you can simply add more stuff, for minimal time. It is the set up, that takes the time, but it saves you from headaches, or the ‘damn I wish I had done that earlier’ syndrom. It also can help make your site more profitable, and that is a good thing, don’t you think? Continue reading

The idea of feeds is to make your life easier. Forget to set it up properly, and well your life becomes a lot more complicated. You will spend some time to set it up right, but you WILL spend more time fixing it, if you do as I did, and just add the feeds first. Set up, does take time, but really, it saves a lot more time later on. I speak from experience on this one. FEEDS, once set up, can make it a sort of leave it and forget it experience, until you add another feed. Thing is, when set up right, adding new feeds, deleting old ones, becomes a lot less complicated. And that too, saves you time and grief. Continue reading

RSS FEEDS can make your life easier, but you know, you really do need to think things through FIRST. I should have done that, rather than simply rush to add the feed code, the plugin, and let it all go. Things like assigning each feed its own unique keyword rich author name, not the one’s they give their feeds. I mean really, why have your theme messed around with super long user names, that aren’t exactly what we want either, showing on our pages. Continue reading

Wordpress allows more flexibility for those who have some serious time constraints. The use of automation, such as feeds, as well as the advance scheduling option, allows a person to maintain their revenue streams, while doing other work. It isn’t the optimal solution, but in these days, sometimes it is all one is able to manage. Least it is for me. Thankfully wordpress and its plugins can make those changes, more palatable. Continue reading

They tell you to use a password you’ll remember, but that it shouldn’t be one others can guess at, like your name, or birthdate. Then they go and name your database with your login user name. Passwords should be hard to remember, and difficult to guess at, which means you need to memorize it, and keep on trying to do that, rather than opting for the easy out. Just like PIN Numbers, pick one they say, that you’ll remember but no one will guess at. Talk about mixed messages! Continue reading

When do you find time to actually add content? I mean when wordpress updates, and even not just then, plugins seem to be constantly fixing bugs, or updating. Not bad if you have one or two blogs, but what if you operate a dozen or so blogs? It can become a full time job to just keep your plugins up to date, never mind add content. Well seems there is a solution, that involves some added code to your config file, that lets you have multiple blogs, on multiple domains, but with one install of the core, and the plugins. Continue reading

Makes more sense to start off slow, learn the basics about what goes into your blog, or site, than just dumping an installation on your server, and begin typing. Problems do come up, and you can’t afford to wait hours or even days, for some solution in a support forum. With a bit of basic knowledge, at least you can figure out where to look, and then who knows, maybe find the answer or fix, all on your own. Continue reading
