Wordpress

Are you already blogging or getting ready to start a blog? You may be interested in knowing that all blogging platforms are not created equal. If you intend to build an online business that will represent you well on the internet, here are some things that you will need to keep in mind.

The first thing is that a free blog will not serve you well in the long run. If you start a blog with a free service you do not own it. If you are just writing a personal diary or family blog, it may not make as much difference to you.
if you are running an online business, it means everything. A free service may remove your blog at any time if they do not like what you are doing. You do not want to take the chance of working hard for months or years, only to have it all disappear with no recourse available.
 
This means that you do not want to use blogger, also known as blogspot, or the free version of wordpress. These blogs are considered to be throw away sites, and you do not want to spend time on something that can be deleted by someone else.
 
When are ready to get serious about blogging, go to Typepad or to hosted WordPress. I often recommend Typepad for people who are just getting started online because it is very simple to set up and get going. All you need to do to get started is to purchase a domain name and sign up with Typepad. The small monthly fee you pay is your hosting fee. Typepad also has very good customer service and an online knowledge base to answer all of your questions.
 
Hosted WordPress also requires you to purchase a domain name for your blog. Then you will need to get an account to host your site. I recommend a hosting service with c-panel hosting, so that you will be able to take full advantage of everything the internet has to offer. there are too many details to go into here, but believe me when I say that c-panel hosting is the way to go.
 
Then you will need to choose a theme for your WordPress blog. There are thousands of free themes available, as well as many that you can purchase. You can search for these online very easily. I prefer a theme that is two columns, with my sidebar on the right, and also one that is widget ready. This means that you can easily add the plug-ins that WordPress is known for, like the ones for video, search engine optimization, and audio capability.
 
No matter if you decide to go with a hosted WordPress blog, or the simplicity of a Typepad blog, either way you will own your blog and be able to create a site that will enable you to build your online business.

I have tried connecting word press.com in filezilla but it won’t connect. I think it’s because they have this new CSS upgrader and you need to pay for it. Is there any other way I could change my theme without having to pay for it?
that’s still paying.

You don’t connect to WordPress with FTP. You connect to your server that has it provided your hosting account allows use of FTP. Most free accounts do not allow FTP use.

I’ve created a mock layout in photoshop of how I want the layout to my wordpress site (it’s for a DJ).

How can I assure that this theme will work in the actual blog? How do I install it and will it restrict any plug-ins?

Do you guys know where?
I’m kind of jealous if I see those super cute themes of wordpress.
I would like to know where can i get a blog skin (blogspot) like this:
http://pinkaholic.net/

Anyone? please?
I’m actually looking for a blogspot template that looks like a wordpress theme. Like the theme of the site that I just gave. I’m not looking for a wordpress theme.

You want something with much pink on it as I understand.
Hmmm try these two they are not as this as you want but they are the closest I managed to find.
