YORGOO and Ycademy Trainings

The YORGOO and Ycademy training calls cover various topics every week and can be attended by any YORGOO member who wishes to improve his/her knowledge about marketing his/her business or product online.

This past week the training calls focused mainly on creating, editing and publishing images on YORGOOpress [the YORGOO newspaper project] and also adding images to posts on the various blogs that the members like Ute Schaedler or Laetitia Paris have set up. The technique is simple yet inserting images incorrectly into a post can result in a screwed up code and not being Google efficient.

Running own hosted blogs requires a domain and  a server with access to a control panel and the various functions like mysql databases. Setting up an own hosted Wordpress blog is not as difficult as many think. If you can follow step by step instructions, then the process is relatively simple. Many YORGOO and Ycademy members have done so already and are achieving top Google ranking in their related niches.

Webmaster Calls

This weeks YORGOO-Ycademy webmaster call focused mainly on server maintenance, keeping the server clean, and performing backup. The cleaner one keeps the various functions on the server like mail, databases etc the better the server will perform. These tasks do need to be performed regularly. Learning how to keep a server in tip top condition is an important part of being a webmaster.

The webmaster call on Friday nights is a regular feature, attended by members who are interested in running their own servers, blogs and own websites.  Many of the members also attend the YORGOO-Ycademy seminars which are run once a month:  2 full days of information, training and workshops, instructions are done entirely online. The May seminar focuses on ‘Monetising your blog’. A topic which interests anyone working online.

YORGOO and Ycademy Training calls and seminars are a great way to learn good marketing and webmastering skills without spending a fortune.

Ycademy Training with images

During the previous Ycademy training we focused on creating rotating banners for YORGOOpress.

Ycademy Training

The Thursday Ycademy call focused on creating unique images for blog posts, pages, emails etc. Using software that is freely available on the internet it is possible to creating some unique and fun images that can be used for any purpose.

Editing images in YORGOOpress and utilising the NexGen plugin resulted in some fun results which can be seen here on Working from home News.

Buddy Press and Social Networking

You can never say that working from home online is dull or boring. NEVER! This past week we have seen the realease of Buddy Press 1.0, a WP based Social Network Platform allowing user to develop their own personal social networking database.

YORGOOmedia social network

Working with our own social network develepment, YORGOOmedia has intergrated the Buddy press plugin and this week we have been customising and testing the various possibilities that are available. Having applied Semiomantic tuning to the WPMU, the goal of YORGOOmedia is to build the best performing MU-BuddyPress powered formula, where each members site can reach a top 10 Google position on his/her relevant.

Buddy Press features

So far we have been familiarising ourselves with some of the various features available in the admin area. One of the features allows participants to invite friends and build groups, similar to the features on other social networks like Facebook, but unlike facebook you build a personal database and not facebooks. The messaging system is a nice feature too.

So far, so good as we test all the features. Watch this space as we develop further our personal social networking space.

More to come….
