WordPress Tutorial Sites To Brush Up Your Blogging Skills

WordPress Tutorial Sites To Brush Up Your Blogging Skills

WordPress TV - http://wordpress.tv/

The video blog is a visual how-to on things that are WordPress. It is also
an official resource from WordPress. Along with the line up of videos in A-W
categories, you have interviews and discussions related around the WordPress
platform.

You also get to watch a lot of highlights from WordCamp, the international
WordPress event for the WordPress community.

WPCandy - http://wpcandy.com/

WPCandy covers WordPress from all possible angles - news, editorials,
reviews, podcasts, interviews, and of course WordPress tutorials. Then, you
have a section which reviews WP tools and themes. The tutorials section is a
mish-mash of quick tips and detailed how-tos. If you prefer listening, there's
an entire podcasts directory to tap into. You can also send WPCandy your
story ideas and even write for them when openings come up.

WpRecipes - http://www.wprecipes.com/

This two year old blog is one of the nicest resources you can find on
WordPress. The site features quick and concise fixes for setting up
WordPress to run smoothly. Most of the posts contain code snippets for
configuring WordPress. Do read the comments too as they are also sources for
tips and tweaks. A small forum (redirected) and a Themes section round off
this blog.

Digging Into WordPress - http://digwp.com/

A dedicated WordPress blog by Chris Coyier & Jeff Starr covers a lot of
ground with topics from administration to design. The frequency of posts is
around one a week. Interspersed between the WP tutorials are links to
tutorials on other blogs. So, there's no shortage of stuff to learn from.

WP Engineer - http://wpengineer.com/

You won't get a tutorial every other day on this WP site too. The frequency
is around one per week. But the 240 odd WordPress tutorials are quite
illustrative. The easy on the eyes design of the blog also helps.

WordPress Tutorials - http://www.wp-tutorials.org/

The site aggregates WP tutorials from a variety of sources and rates them
too. Although the site has gone a bit dormant now, with the last post in
February, it's worth a look because it has a collection of nearly 500 odd
tutorials.

WP Tavern - http://www.wptavern.com/

The blog is designed to be a talking point on WordPress. It is a WordPress
fan site with lots of posts that cover the platform. The blog is just about
two years old. Go right below to browse the archives. The site also has a
fairly active forum with discussion threads on topics like plugins, hacks,
themes, troubleshooting tips etc.

WP Topics - http://www.wptopics.com/

WP Topics covers WordPress news, developments, and tutorials like a news
aggregator. Influential WordPress sites are tapped and you get to read
articles on coding and design from some sites we have covered here and some
which we have not.

WordPress Stack Exchange - http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/

You can also call this a WordPress Q&A service. It's not tutorial related
but it answers any doubts you might have as an administrator or a developer
about configuring WordPress. Look around using the search bar or the tags if
the query has already been asked on the site. Also check out the FAQ which
gives some pointers on how to use this Q&A service.

SeekWP - http://www.seekwp.com/

SeekWP is a realtime search engine for WP tips and theme information. You
can type in a keyword and use the dropdown to select Themes or Tips, or do
an all inclusive search. It is a really nice shortcut to take because the
WordPress universe is expanding each day.

With the above ten I have tried to cover resources which are solely on
WordPress. There are some great sites that have separate sections on
WordPress filled with instructive tips and tricks. For instance, our own
website has around 50 WordPress posts (and climbing).

Just like me, if you are starting to tinker around with the platform, you
will get an inkling of why WordPress is sitting pretty as one of the best
CMS solutions around. Do let us know your favorite WordPress tutorial
resource too.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above

Branding Tips - Know Your Target Market

Branding Tips - Know Your Target Market Feel free to read an article I wrote about Target Market Here. It is very important that you know your ideal customer and aim to market to your prospect. If you aim your marketing at vague customers, your branding will come out vague and you will become relevant to no one. Knowing your target market will render your marketing and communications more relevant and on-target.
