Upgrading Wordpress, Theme & Content Changes

I’ll have to apologize to the readers here at evolvor.com - I’ve been working on the site all week to get it properly upgraded to the new Wordpress 2.6, as well as ready a new theme, and we’ve been running into bugs here and there.

Looking For Graphic Designers & Artists For Music Industry Work

That’s right folks; if you are a graphic designer, artist, photographer, etc., then I need your help. I am currently working with a number of exciting musical acts from all over the country and am at a stage where I need some artwork for various projects. We’re talking all aspects of building the branding of many acts - album covers, merchandising, and digital artwork (websites, wallpapers, myspace layouts, etc.).

How to Insert an Image Using Wordpress

So I think I’m going to go on a video binge here. The following video is a short tutorial I found on You Tube about how to insert an image using Wordpress, for those of you who are just joining the WordPress army.

Video Introduction to Wordpress

I’ve been thinking about doing some video tutorials on how to use WordPress. Untill I have these videos fully produced, here is a video I picked up from YouTube that discusses some basics of using the WordPress software. Grab some popcorn and enjoy.

SEO Title Tag WordPress Plug-In

Over the next few days I will be discussing different WordPress Plug-ins I have uploaded to some of my sites recently.

Most of my clients already have these plug-ins installed by default, including NetConcepts’ SEO Title Tag Plug-In. By default, WordPress displays your blog’s name as the main title tag; however, to optimize your site properly we all know you need relevant keywords in your title tag.

Google Adsense Section Targeting

I’ve noticed some irrelevant ads on our micro brew and craft beer blog lately (yeah anchor text!), so I’ve decided to talk about Google Adsense Section Targeting.

Darren Rose talks about the basics on how to improve AdSense ad relevancy, and you can find what html code helps implement section targeting at the Google AdSense Help Center.

What are “sitemaps”?

Google, MSN, and Yahoo have agreed to make our lives a little easier by coming together to form sitemaps.org in addition to supporting the same format, which helps explain a little bit as to what “sitemaps” are.

Let’s talk about Wordpress and The GPL

So, I’ve been thinking lately about charging a small fee to set-up Wordpress Blogs for students (I live in a college town and think that all students should be online and be blogging!).

WordPress Blog Themes

One of the great things about using Wordpress is the open-source nature and the many free themes that exist on the web. I am currently looking for a new three column theme to help organize my site a little better. Blogging Pro seems to be a good resource on all kinds of different blog topics.

Revver Showcases Possible You-Tube Ad Model

I’d heard of it before but never looked into it, but video blogging site Revver allows users who upload video to monetize their efforts by placing ads at the end of each video. Could this be how Google plans on monetizing the millions of videos uploaded to YouTube? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Wordpress MU v1.0

I’m not quite sure what to make of this yet, Wordpress MU v1.0. Sounds interesting and I’ll look into the possibilities as the week progresses.

Gotta Give Bill a Shout Out

I thought I’d give a shout out to my main man Bill Slawski and his SEO by the Sea blog, voted one of the top 5 seach marketing blogs out there by Pandia Search Engine News. Bill has helped me become more confident in pursuing a career in this wacky biz and consistently impresses me with his wealth of knowledge. Congrats, dude.

Should links open in a new window?

So last night I was asked whether or not links should open in a new window. The person asking is a web design major who’s teacher instructed him that, by opening links in new browser windows, you’ll keep the user at your site. Wrong. Here’s a few reasons why.
