Upgrading to WordPress version 3.0 can have quite some downfalls. As soon as I installed it I lost my Twitter connection. So far I have been using the “WP to Twitter” plugin, and it actually still functions under the 3.0 version. Nevertheless, I am now unable to modify the plugin parameters, which hurts especially when I add new categories.
WordPress 3.0 Thelonious passed 3 million downloads yesterday, and today the plugin directory followed suit with a milestone of its own: 100 million downloads.
Following these guidelines will help Google find, index, and rank your site. Even if you choose not to implement any of these suggestions, we strongly encourage you to pay very close attention to the “Quality Guidelines,” which outline some of the illicit practices that may lead to a site being removed entirely from the Google index or otherwise penalized. If a site has been penalized, it may no longer show up in results on Google.com or on any of Google’s partner sites.
Ironically, many of the rules of good blogging apply to this article and the first is: Blog often. If you’re a serious blogger you are likely posting daily, if you’re not, then you probably don’t have much to say. If you want to get your blog noticed, you need to be blogging daily. Why? Because it’ll not only help you look massively articulate, but it’ll really help with your traffic and search ranking, and let’s face it: If no one is finding you, how do you expect a publisher to discover your work?
I personally run a number of blogs and websites filled with advertisement through several affiliate programs, and I still don’t make enough money to cover my monthly grocery bill. I have heard of one blogger in Singapore who is very successful by making roughly $800 per month, but he got there through very hard work and he got there after years of creating websites.
Blogging is supposed to be fun – well, mostly it is, unless you have to deal with rude comments, or a comment you made on Facebook – always have a Facebook account with your blog as it develops a readership for you – angered one of your “Like”, formerly known as “Fan”. Exactly that happened to me yesterday.
The following product, WP Remix, uses WordPress technology, but it takes yet another step to make website development easier. The keyword is CMS, Content Management System. Basically, you can use WordPress as a Content Management System, but it seems that WP Remix makes it even easier for the beginner to set up a blog.
The success of my blog is based mainly on my reporting about the current Internet scam, may it be the Kelly Richards scheme, FastNetLearning.Com, or the Weight Loss (Acai Berry Diet) scam. More and more people find my website and try to cancel the scam services I report about. Yes, they contact me to cancel their service!
As a passionate blogger you feel that you are protected by First Amendment rights, but, while freedom of speech is a major pillar to a democratic foundation, it does not protect you from malicious law suits by, let’s say, a business feeling you caused them profound loss of income by posting misleading information about them.
Nasty Comments – A Blogger’s Lament
I do respect any deserving comment to my posts, whether they agree with me or not. I do enjoy a good discussion, and in some cases I do learn from comments. I may even learn that my assessment of a certain situation was wrong. I can live with that. What I don’t enjoy is insult, and I don’t practice it. I think I can expect the same from people who feel inclined to comment on my writings.
