WHY WORDPRESS?
Where do I start?!
I’ve been in this business in one capacity or another (and by “this business” I mean I.T.) for about a thousand years.
I’m oldschool.
I won’t bore you with stories of how excited I was about my fast, powerful new 386 in the early 90s, but anyway, suffice it to say, “we’ve come a long way, baby”.
Nowadays, it’s truly astonishing to me what GREAT VALUE I can offer my clientele by creating a WordPress website, starting with an AWESOME studiopress.com premium theme, and then customizing it to the point where it is exactly what the client wants.
I can offer this service for $400-$500 because I do it over and over again and I am FAST (now – LOL – not in the early days).
I do remember the heady days of the dot com bubble and it used to take a team of programmers/designers MONTHS of planning meetings, research, coding, thinking, troubleshooting, etc. etc., to come up with a really perfect relational database and a bulletproof CMS (content management system) back end.
This is what I can do for that very same $400!
The future is so bright, we have to wear shades, WordPress users!
I’m an evangelist – I’m here to help.
Use WordPress, learn it, get to know the plugins, tinker with it, and you will love it for its beautiful, intelligent self.
ADSENSE DELUXE
Not that it’s the only great AdSense plugin for WordPress out there, but today I really wanted to tinker with AdSense Deluxe.
Well, I ran into a glitch which had no easy resolution – after installing the plugin without a hitch, I received this error message when trying to access the plugin’s options in Settings:
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page“.
I did find an excellent, step-by step solution – THANKS ZALDS!
If you are having the same problem, check this out – it works like a charm to my amazement and delight:

Once you get the plugin going, you might as well try this too:
WORDPRESS BACKUP
Generally speaking, total backup = total peace of mind.
Anyone who has had a website wiped out by hackers or a hosting company failure, without adequate backups knows that stinging regret.
The safe way to get a complete backup is in the backend via cPanel. Once a week, or more frequently if you update frequently. The safest thing is to take a total backup each time you update. AND keep a couple of older ones too, just for good measure.
Here is an interesting concept: automated cPanel backups
EXCELLENT WORDPRESS PLUGINS
This is an excellent video!
Of course the usual “Top 10″ WordPress plugins are All-In-One-SEO et al, but this video goes further, with the TinyMCE plugin, a Google Analytics plugin, and others which are nice little time-savers & sometimes virtual life-savers!
