Now easier than ever, you are no longer limited to the number of widgets you can use, and you have greater flexibility to select where to use them. Using the drag and drop feature of the widgets couldn’t be easier! For the developer, they’ve even added a widget api feature so you can dream up what your widget wishes desire.
Need to change or update your theme? No problem! With the new WordPress 2.8 theme browser, you won’t even need to leave your WordPress blog admin panel to view the themes available to you. Even better, is the fact that once you’ve selected the theme that gets you jazzed, you may then customize the theme colors to your liking, directly from your WordPress admin panel, and without having to know html to do it! You simply check the boxes that best represent what you want to change. It couldn’t be easier!
As I mentioned before, if you have been using Blogger for it’s widget-ready ease of use, but really want more control of your website, with features like full cpanel access etc., you must give WordPress 2.8 your full attention now!

Blogging on WordPress allows you to access and utilize custom plugins to customize your blog. Today I just downloaded some plugins and I’m experimenting with this plugin called “External Permalinks.” At first I liked the concept of the plugin, but I was having some challenges with getting it to work. Perhaps I was having a conflict with one of my other plugins, or my theme. Not sure which is the case, but for now I had to disable the plugin until I can take the time to troubleshoot the issue.

Are you confused about what a trackback is? This tutorial eliminates any confusion you may have in regards to trackbacks and how to make use of it from your WordPress dashboard. Trackbacks help you build traffic, and are a great tool for a blogger to make use of.
If you leave a trackback to another blog, your trackback shows up as a comment on the blog you sent the trackback to, if the blogmaster of that blog approves your trackback to show up on their blog. As you have guessed by now, leaving trackbacks can generate more traffic to your blogs.
This video from Jack Humphrey’s Friday Report is a great explanation for the purpose of trackbacks, and how to implement it from your WordPress blogs. Happy blogging!

The other day one of my readers asked me if this site has the “no follow” attribute disabled for the comment section. WordPress is a great blogging platform, but in an attempt to try to slow down the spammers they changed their platform I believe back when version 2.0 first came out. At that time they added the “no follow” attribute to the comment portion of the script to try to discourage the spammers.
Unfortunately since the prolific spammers use robots they don’t care how much time it takes to spam thousands of blogs, and they are betting on the fact that they will hit enough that don’t use the no follow attribute, comment moderation or spam protection.
There are numerous ones you can choose from to accomplish that task so when your readers comment the robots will follow. Wordpress for blogging and for commenting is still a great platform, but sometimes you simply need to tweak some things with plugins. Thanks Digi for asking me if I had disabled the no follow attribute!

Inspiring people gives me great satisfaction. I've spent a substantial amount of time in the Internet community, participating, observing, and evaluating what makes it tic. Here's a bit of information about me:
Like most people I've discovered the Internet is not only fun, but also the best way to share information with others. In the summer of 2005 I created my first website, which was an antique and collectible site. Since that time my interest in learning more about Internet Marketing became a daily interest.
In the fall of 2005, I did just that - I fell down our stairs and broke both bones in my writing wrist, requiring surgical repair thereafter. At that time, my career required a significant amount of handwriting to complete various documents and contract applications, so I found myself out of commission!
Thank goodness I was still able to type and use a keyboard while I healed, which led to the opportunity to learn more about my new passion of Internet marketing and blogging. So, here I am as I continue to pursue what has become my new career path and direction!
I hope you enjoy my blog, and benefit by the information I share!
