Wordpress Plugins: WP eStore Setup

Cenay Nailor — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:35:16 +0000

I recently started using a new Plugin, which I really love. I love it so much in fact, I have been recommending it to those that offer something for sale on their blog.

This plugin adds the ability to create products and "add to cart" features really easily. One step checkout? Piece of cake. Fancy summary for the product description? It's all here in WP eStore Plugin.

Now, I spend a lot of time messing around with plugins so I have a fairly good grasp of feature sets, what's possible and what has to be programmed, so a friend of mine asked me for a video of how to add new products to her blog. I was happy to oblige.

This video will show you the basic setup requirements for general settings, how to add a new product and how to get that new product "add to cart" button on a page or post using WP eStore, a Wordpress plugin.

Unblock New Category In Elegant Theme

Cenay Nailor — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:20:26 +0000

If you have purchased the marvelous theme club subscription from Elegant Themes, congratulations, you made a great decision for your professional blogging appearance. In fact, this theme is one of the themes available at Elegant Themes (it's called eVid).

If this is your first experience with a premium theme, you are in for a pleasant experience. It is easier to use than most premium theme, and provides more options.

There is a *quirk* though, that you should be aware of.

By default, all new categories are "disabled" from appearing on the home page. They are also disabled from appearing in the list of categories shown on most blogs. To allow them to show up, you must update your theme options.

This video will show you exactly how to do that.

Upgrade From Wordpress.com To Self-Hosted .Org

Cenay Nailor — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:49 +0000

Many first time bloggers start out on Wordpress.com, only to discover they are limited in options, plugins, advertising and flexibility. When that happens, it's time to step up your game and go with a mature blogging platform. I highly recommend Wordpress.org - the self-hosted option of the popular blogging software.

With the self hosted option, you no longer have anyone telling you what you can and can't include for advertising, plugins, or content.

This video shows you how to take a Wordpress.com blog and move it - or upgrade it - to a self-hosted, no limits, rocking and ready to conquer the world blog. Okay, that might be overstating it a little, but it definitely has more options!

A few assumptions:

You own a hosting account where you can create it. If not, consider IX Web Hosting or Bluehost. Both have great tech support, 24/7 access and all inclusive storage, domains and bandwidth options... and by all inclusive, I mean unlimited.
You are comfortable working in multiple tabs in your browser
You already use the upgraded option at Wordpress.com to have your blog on a domain you bought.
You are ready to get serious about your blogging.

Adding Photo Gallery and Lightbox Feature

Cenay Nailor — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 16:08:54 +0000

On one of the blogs I just created for a client, we added a photo gallery to share some of the photo's taken at the client's site. Since we wanted the visitor to stay on the blog as long as possible, we decided to lightbox the photo's when clicked to enlarge the image, without moving them off the page.

This video shows you how to upload the images into the media library, insert thumbnail images, link them to larger images and add some captions and titles for the SEO benefit and visitor experience.

My special thanks to Nancy Byerly Jones for allowing this video to be recorded and placed here.

Adding Events To Wordpress

Cenay Nailor — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:24:31 +0000

As an online blogging coach, I am exposed to a LOT of different types of blogs. In fact, I setup a lot of different type blogs. Recently, I was working for a client creating a blog for her *group*, and they needed a special event calendar.

Well, Wordpress Plugins to the rescue.

I found a great plugin that allows you to add events, display them both on a full page calendar, and in a vavriety of ways on the side bar. Sallie Roberts of the El Minya Court Lady Shriners was gracious enough to let me record our online session and place it here.

This video details the steps to create a new event with the plugin, find and attach a thumbnail image (for this theme) and use Wordpress' Add an Image feature to get that image online.We discuss a couple of techniques for the events and a couple methods on the images.

To you Lady Shriners out there, fabulous job you ladies are doing! We really appreciate you. To those of you needing to know how to upload images, insert events or add photo's to a post, this video is for you.

Headspace2 For Multipost Page Meta Tags

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:08:24 +0000

As you know, Headspace2 allows you to select the exact description, keywords and even browser title that will be used in the meta tags for the web page where that post is displayed. However, what do you do when the user clicks on a category or archive that dislpays more than one post?

Naturally, Headspace has got you covered.

When you install Headspace, it adds new fields to the category edit feature, where you can define the exact description you want to use.

Want to just rely on the default added for the Global settings? No problem. In fact, there are so many options available to you on Headspace, that it took more than an hour to cover them all where everyone could understand.

Wordpress Posting Technique: From Concept To Published

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 23:13:57 +0000

I recorded a recent coaching session that went into quite a bit of detail on how to get an idea or concept from your head to your blog. In this video, my student had written his post content into Word, and we took that *draft* and published it on the web.

Keyword Derivation Techniques and mining for the one's that will get you found
Changes to Headspace and what you need to watch out for
Using Firebug to find out important information about your blog

How to insert and size an image in Wordpress
How to insert an embedded video from YouTube and size it to match your content area
How to make external links (links that lead your visitor off your site) open in a new window

Everything shown in this video are things you should be doing consistently in order to get your valuable content found by Google, and therefore by your potential customers. Grab a pen and paper and be prepared to take some notes. There are lot's of little tricks and tips in here to help you produce blog content that gets found.

Moving A Blog

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:01:19 +0000

When you are first starting out, often you choose the first hosting company that pops up on your radar. This is not always the best hosting company (sadly).

When you hit the limits of bandwidth, storage space or the number of domains you can include in your hosted account, it's time to move.

And while it's not as easy as falling off a log, it not hard either, as long as you do things in the right order.

This video will take you through the process, one step at a time.

And when you are ready to upgrade to unlimited bandwidth, unlimited domains and unlimited storage for one low price each month, then check out IX Web Hosting, the company I use.

Wordpress: Add Amazon Store

Cenay Nailor — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:31:09 +0000

One way to monetize your Authority Niche Site is to add an Amazon store as a page within your blog. If it's featured on the first page and contains items that your visitors are interested in, it can be a great way to bring in additional revenue.

This How To Video walks you through the process of logging into your Amazon Affiliate account, and creating a store with exactly the products you want. Adding the store to a page in your blog is shown, along with techniques to get it looking good. There is an additional video showing you how to remove the blog's sidebar from a page template so more of the Amazon store shows up.

With the Amazon store, once it's created, you can add products and change colors without making a change to your blog. You can have additional categories and a search feature that works within your store. Each item sold from your Amazon store pays you a *commission* or referral fee.

Wordpress: Create Full Width Page Template

Cenay Nailor — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:39:46 +0000

Most blog themes come with a page template that includes the sidebar, much like the home page.

There are situations where you might not want to include the sidebar, as in the case of adding an Amazon Store page to your blog. In that case, it's more important to be able to display the Amazon sidebar, which contains options for additional searches on Amazon.

But if your blog theme doesn't have a *full width* page template, are you stuck? No way. It actually much simpler than you might realize to create it yourself. Most of the work has already been done for you! Copy a template file that already exists, make a couple of edits and viola! You have a new Wordpress full page template. Ready?

Tubepress: Keywords and Playlist: Two Ways To Pull Videos

Cenay Nailor — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:34:05 +0000

Wordpress and Tubepress are the dynamic duo when it comes to coupling videos with your blog. Oh sure, you can embed a video into a post without Tubepress. In fact, you can go crazy and embed three or four! But for professional looking "gallery" style videos all related to a single topic and all the built in functionality like auto play, borders on each video or playing each within the same "space" -- then you really want to go get Tubepress.

With Tubepress, you set a few options (covered in a different video) and add a little snippet of code to your post, and Bam! You have a visitor magnet. A gallery of videos your readers can see, all collected into one place. Your place.

There are two really cool (and in my opinion important) options for collecting those videos together... Keyword and Playlist.

Tubepress Keyword List Option:

You can use the "shortcode" to insert the gallery directly into a page or post based on keywords. Just separate your keywords by commas and off you go. Hundreds, even thousands of videos will be returned and displayed in your page or post. The standard shortcode for this is shown below.

[tubepress mode="tag" tagValue="keyword1, keyword2"]

Tubepress Playlist Option:

The second, and more important (again, in my humble opinion) method is to use the Playlist option. This allows you to pre-vet the videos you want to appear on your page or post, add them to a playlist and display only the videos you want. The standard shortcode for this is shown below:

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="6813408AE8D50E6F"]

While there are other options list all videos from a particular YouTube user or just the most recently viewed videos, Keyword and Playlist represent the single quickest way to serve up videos to your target audiene with a minimum of fuss.

Stop Leaking Your SEO And Losing Visitors: Redirection

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:49:04 +0000

Over time, your blog evolves (hopefully). This means category names change, posts are updated, files move or subdirectories are deleted. What happens when someone clicks a link to a post or file that is no longer there?

They get a 404 Error.

Even with a Custom 404 Error Page, you didn't deliver the content they thought they were getting. So they might leave.

And if you published that link in a number of places (as you should be doing), you now have *deadlinks* that aren't getting your visitors to the content you promised them.

You can stop the leaks, plug the holes and deliver the content you promised, no matter where it moved to, even a new domain.

Watch the video and then go grab the Redirection Plugin and start plugging up the holes that evolution leaves behind.

Monetizing Your Blog Traffic (Part 1)

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 20:29:02 +0000

Ohz: Who Sees Ads

Now that you are getting some traffic to your blog, it's time to start monetizing that traffic. And while you have several options (like Clickbank, Google Adsense, Affiliate products), they all require getting the ad's to display on your blog.

And while you can hack your theme, posts and pages to stuff ads where ever you want, for the non-programmer, that method is a little scary.

Fortunately, there are other options.

Today's video covers a Wordpress plugin called Who Sees Ads that not only allows you to cut and paste ad code from your affiliate network, it also allows you to selectively decide who sees the ad.

This plugin has settings you change to only show the ad to first time visitors, visitors that have been coming back time after time, or only visitors that arrive from a Google search. Naturally, you can also set it for any combination of visitors as well.

It even has a setting for randomly selecting the location within the post to help prevent *Ad Blindness*.

Delivery Methods For Your Ethical Bribe

Cenay Nailor — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:04:53 +0000

You’ve heard that before, I know you have. Especially if you are marketing your small business on the Internet. Well, I hate to break it to you, but it’s true. To have web success, you really need to be able to follow up.

Without the ability to follow up with your potential clients or customers, you have only one shot and making the sale. They land on your beautiful blog full of great content and see what you have to offer. If your copy doesn’t sell them right then and there, then — as soon as they click off your site, they are gone. For good.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

You can offer them something they want, in exchange for their name and email address, and follow up with them over time. Then you can educate them over time about the benefits of your product or service.

A couple of things you should keep in mind though.

The *bribe* should match your product or service.
It should be ethical and meaningful
It should provide value
It should benefit them AND dovetail with whatever it is you are marketing

I think we can all agree that this is the best method to market your small business using the Internet, but one question I get a lot is, “How do I deliver what it is I have offered?”

This short video will show you step by step how to deliver your Ethical Bribe.

Add Page Peel To Your Blog

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 14 May 2009 10:12:06 +0000

If you are doing any type of marketing from your blog, I have a cool little trick that will help you *engage* your readers that isn't quite as obvious as a 250 x 250 *ad* placed in front of them. They don't see those unless they are specifically looking for a solution.

It's called a Page Peel effect, and it allows you to place an ad *under* your page. If the reader clicks the little link in the upper right hand corner, it opens the whole ad in a unique and *fun* peel away effect.

SEO Juice With Internal Linking

Cenay Nailor — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 10:49:11 +0000

Recent articles on my main blog have focused on the organic traffic you want from the search engines, and how to get it. I hope you have been following along.

Today, I want to show you a shortcut.

I say *show you*, because this little tip is best understood with a video where I can show you click by click and step by step exactly what to do. I reference a couple of sites in the video that will be linked under the video.

Just to recap the basics of SEO and inbound links though, you should understand that Google counts each inbound link to your post or page as a sort of *vote*. A pledge of support or an agreement from your peers (niche partners) that your content is relevant to the topic at hand.

However, a little known fact is that links from your blog also count as votes. Now, all this is just from an SEO standpoint, but there is another benefit to all this internal linking.

More eyeballs.

That's right. Your visitor finds something he or she likes and clicks to go read the rest. At that point they have demonstrated their willingness to *consume* your content. Great!

Now give them more.

This video will show you two additional techniques to keep their interest, deliver exactly what they want, and get a little search engine love in the process.

It's a win-win.

Install Your Own Wordpress Blog

Cenay Nailor — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:33:40 +0000

Wordpress claims a *5 minute install* in their literature and videos. Bull-crap.

Oh, I know, the installation part really is that fast, but there is so much more to a self-hosted blog than just the Wordpress software install. You have to buy a domain, get hosting, create a MySQL database, download Wordpress, extract it, upload it to your domain, install the software, then update settings and add a theme.

When I explain to those I am mentoring on *branding* themselves that they need a blog to help, most get a glazed look in their eye. Some just give up.

I set out to break it down into manageable chunks, in a step by step video (actually, it's an 8 part video) that would help anyone, regardless of experience, create their very own self-hosted Wordpress blog.

Because this video series has 8 parts, I created a *theater* for it on a different page. The theater is just too large to fit within the blog post. So, click the image above, or the link below to see the *Install Wordpress * video.

I am also including all 8 videos here if you prefer. They should be viewed in order if at all possible!

Upgrade Wordpress Version

Cenay Nailor — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:22:22 +0000

One of the most popular blogging platforms on the web today, Wordpress offers a lot of features to make "push button publishing " possible for almost everyone.

If this is your blogging platform of choice (as it is mine), then you will need to upgrade the "software" to the latest version whenever they release a new one. While the process isn't "hard", there are a few steps. This video details each of those steps.

If you prefer just reading about it (boy, is this stuff dry though! ), then the instructions are below. I got these directly off Wordpress' site here. http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress

Overview of the Upgrade Process

1. Backup your database. Read Backing Up Your Database for a detailed explanation.
2. Backup ALL your WordPress files in your WordPress directory. Don't forget your .htaccess file.
3. Verify the backups you created are there and usable. This is essential.
4. Deactivate ALL your Plugins.
5. Ensure first four steps are completed.

Do not attempt the upgrade unless you have completed the first four steps.

6. Download and extract the WordPress package from http://wordpress.org/download/.
7. Delete the old WordPress files on your site, but DO NOT DELETE

wp-config.php file;
wp-content folder;
Special Exception: the wp-content/cache
wp-content/plugins/widgets folders should be deleted.
wp-images folder;
wp-includes/languages/ folder--if you are using a language file do not delete that folder;
.htaccess file--if you have added custom rules to your .htaccess, do not delete it;
robots.txt file--if your blog lives in the root of your site (ie. the blog is the site) and you have created such a file, do not delete it.

8. Upload the new files from your computer's hard drive to the appropriate WordPress folder on your site.
9. Run the WordPress upgrade program and follow the instructions on the screen.
10. Update Permalinks and .htaccess. Update your Permalink Structure and merge the custom rules, if necessary, into your .htaccess file.
11. Install updated Plugins and Themes. Please review the list of Plugins that work in Version 2.5.1. Check for Theme Compatibility with 2.5.1 and ask your Theme author for any new version.
12. Reactivate Plugins
13. Review what has changed in WordPress.

Edit Wordpress Themes - Add External Links

Cenay Nailor — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:03:04 +0000

Most Wordpress themes automatically add navigation links at the top that point to pages you have added to your blog, but did you know you can add to that list? Even if it's not a "page" within your blog.

If you have extra web pages you want to make available to readers of your blog, you can simply upload them and add "references" to them in your theme files.

You can also include links to specific *high traffic* pages within your blog separately, or just about anything you want.. (within reason).

This 8 minute video will walk you through editing your Wordpress theme "header" file (I'll even show you where that is!) and have to editing your theme like a mad woman in no time. (Figure of speech guys)
