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.

For some reason during my upgrade, I lost all categories in my database, so bear with us ad we try to restore them.

We have a few themes that we are working kinks out that will provide a much more visually appealing site in the days to come.

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.

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.

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.

These keywords usually differ from the name of your site, so therein lies the need for this plug-in. It allows you to add a different title tag for your home page and gives you several options to customize your sites other pages. Pick it up if your serious about search engine optimization.

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!).

Basically, the fee ($99) would be to buy a few hours of my time. I’d guide the student from domain purchase, wordpress set-up and installation, covering the basics of the software, it’s uses, how to blog etc.

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.

Jim Boykin talks today about an email he received concerning Microsoft Frontpage.

I was unaware that FrontPage was being discontinued, and the article goes into more specifics of that. I say good riddance (even though I learned using FrontPage). I’d rather see someone use Wordpress before building a site in FrontPage.

Weblogs, usually referred to as simply “blogs”, evolved into what we would refer to as a persons “voice” on the web. The word weblog, meaning “ a log or journal located on a web page”, pretty much sums up the definition of a blog. While a typical webpage contains information, it is often a static page that is only updated every now and then. A blog, on the other hand, is meant to be updated just like a journal, on a very consistent basis.
