WordPress, I’m In Love
The new version of WordPress is out now. Since I haven't used it yet I can't vouch for it. But I sure like the new features, specifically: Drop down menu for header tags Underline feature Paste from Word Undo Redo Tagging I bolded "paste from Word" because previously this was not possible. If you pasted from Word then your posts were full of extra code that probably caused your posts not to get crawled well. Sometimes it even messed up the template you were working in. No longer. Again, I haven't used the new WordPress - WordPress 2.3 - but I can hardly wait. These features will not only make blogging easier, but will make blog posts cleaner and better as well.

What To Do If You Lose Your WordPress Blog Posts
Do you use WordPress? Have you accidentally lost some blog posts? On another blog I own, I inadvertently deleted an entire user account and all the blog posts associated with it. That was a hard lesson to learn. If this happens to you, here's what you can do to restore them: First, go into your cpanel or cgi back door and try to access your backup. Most web hosts store a backup or offer a service to let you back up your files. I highly recommend the service if your web host provides it If your web host doesn't have a back up service or you haven't signed up for it then attempt to access the MySQL files in your CGI panel to restore those posts If that CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
How To Select A WordPress Template For Your Blog
You've decided that you want a company blog and that WordPress is the blogging platform for you. Good for you. You couldn't have made a better choice. But be careful when choosing a template. There are really two ways to go on a WordPress template. You can choose one of the many pre-designed templates that WordPress offers or find a designer to custom design you a WordPress template. Either way you have to be careful. Not all WordPress templates are created equal. The problem with most templates, just like website templates, is that they are not designed with search engines in mind. I shouldn't say "most." What I mean is most that have problems ... the problem is usually poor SEO quality. You'll have to make sure CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Why Free Blog Hosts Are A Bad Idea
If you're new to blogging and you are ready to start your own blog then I highly discourage you from using one of the several free blog hosts online. There are a number of reasons. But before I get into that let me encourage you to first decide what you want your blog to do. There are as many purposes for blogs as there are websites and you should go in with a good plan. Here are a few legitimate purposes for business, or commercial, blogs: AdSense Revenue Promote Your Business Customer Service Issues Human Resources Blog Industry-Specific Dialog Promote One Or More Other Websites Sell Advertising Promote A Book, CD, Or Other Item Produced By Your Creativity Discuss A Hobby Celebrity Gossip Share Knowledge Of A Special Topic This is just the tip of the proverbial CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Website Analytics Is As Necessary As Air or Water
If you're not paying attention to what visitors on your website are doing, you should. How else are you going to improve your website to capitalize on your strengths and tweak your weaknesses? Without a proper analysis of visitor activity, you are like a man trying to paddle a boat without an oar. You should receive some basic information from your web hosting company that will help you analyze visitor activity. If not, then you should change web hosting companies. That web hosting company should include statistics about the number of visitors who visit your website, how long they stay there, which pages they visit while they are there, how long they spend on each page, entry and exit points for each visitor, and the less CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Save The Internet Or You’ll Pay
Yesterday, SaveTheInternet.com celebrated its first birthday. This is the organization fighting to keep Verizon and AT&T from stripping away your right and mine to the use of a free Internet. These large communications companies want to create a high band Internet for government and people willing to pay the price and then a slower "lane" for everyone else - that is, small business owners, non-profit organizations, and people who won't be able to afford the elite steak dinner along with the keynote address. There's a great article in today's WebProNews on one senator, Byron Dorgan, who is criticizing his colleague Ted Stevens and AT&T head cheese Ed Whitacre for their evil scheme. Essentially, good guys like Dorgan want to keep the Net open to CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
