I’m currently involved in creating a music feeds site and a major part of that is blogs. I’ve used Wordpress a lot recently and gotten very use to it, but for this project it wasn’t going to work. Fortunately SixApart have recently released an Open Source copy of Movable Type. As I’ve recently installed it […]

How old posts can generate new income

“Deep linking, on the World Wide Web, is making a hyperlink that points to a specific page or image on another website, instead of that website’s main or home page. Such links are called deep links.”
This is what Wikipedia has to say on the subject of deep linking, but how can a blogger use it […]
David Peralty over at Blogging Pro has posted about the effects of the increasingly weak American Dollar for Bloggers and conversion rates for those of us outside the US. Being in the UK I know his and others pain all to well.
At the time of writing $1 is equal to roughly £0.5 so if you […]
Adsense Plugins for Wordpress
Posted in Blogging on Jun 11th, 2007
Since I have been posting about Adsense a fair bit recently here’s a list of the best Wordpress Adsense plugins you should checkout. While it’s possible to hard code the adverts into your templates, it’s a huge time saver to use one of the below.

I’m going to
attempt to write this
without sounding like a
’life coach’
or self help tutor but
forgive me if it comes
across that way. In life the
best way to get something
done is to set a goal and
giving yourself a set
amount of time to complete
it. So many people say
“One day I’ll be a
millionaire” or “I hope to be
a millionaire before
I’m 30″ these
people will never achieve
it. As much as you want to
buy that 10 bedroom
house, it won’t
happen unless you make it
happen. It’s
important to be in a
positive frame of mind
when setting goals
Post2Blog Goes Freeware!
Posted in Blogging on Jun 11th, 2007
I’m writing this from Post2Blog - a desktop blogging client for Windows. Up until now it’s retailed at $39 a copy but has recently gone freeware. Using a desktop application to post to your blog can be a real time saver and gives a lot more control over the content. Here’s a features list;
WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) […]
A short post to recommend some useful books I’ve managed to get my hands on.

If you’ve got some experience running a blog I would suggest purchasing the first one by Jeremy Wright, the other […]
Social Bookmarking Links
Posted in Blogging on Jun 10th, 2007
I’ve added a page containing links to all the Social Bookmarking sites I could find (56). You can see it at the top of the page or here. They’re ranked in order of PR to make it easier to decide which to focus your time on. Here’s two of the benefits of submitting your posts to […]
WordPress lets you change the way your pages appear in the address bar in many different ways using mod_rewrite. Using the preset tags you can get all sorts of combinations, turning ugly URL’s like http://example.com/?p=N into search engine (and user) friendly ones such as: http://example.com/year/month/day/post-name
(note: you can find this feature from Admin CP >> […]
Utilizing Adsense
Posted in Blogging on Jun 9th, 2007
Adsense is by far the most used tool for making money with blogs. Adding ad units to your site is pretty easy especially with plugins like Adsense-Deluxe and Adsense Inline for Word Press. The most successful bloggers tend to make the majority of their income from other affiliate schemes but as a starting point […]
