Web Design Blog with XO 2011

Many things here are still not back to normal due to the adverse weather conditions that we had here just before Christmas, and then there was the New Year. Meanwhile, I have been busy here getting things organised here online for the year ahead. One of the things on my todo list for this year was to give my web design blog a totally new look. What better opportunity than to redesign the look with the new Semiomantics XO 2011 script. It’s also a good opportunity to become more familiar with the new script and it’s flexibility.

Web Design Blog

Here is a preview of the site and the new look  however, there are still changes to the layout that I would like to make  and to clear up some minor issues, this I will hopefully  work on over the weekend. Hopefully!

Blogs and Blogging

Of course there are those other minor tasks that one mustn’t forget when working online, maintenance! Making sure that backups are done on a regular basis, databases taken care of  and upgrades followed up where need. If you are a blogger using WordPress and plugins these upgrades come in fairly regularly.  Not taking good care of these issues may cause you problems on your site. (Talking from experience here: when I was a bit of a novice online I lost a whole site this way). Here’s to happy blogging and successful upgrades.

Blogging with Semiomantics

It’s always nice to get away for a few days, to take a break from the daily routine, but it always feel as if you have been away for much longer when you start to play catchup. If you know anything about Semiomantics and the Semiomantics Team, you will know there is never a dull moment; there’s always a new development in the offing. This month is no different from any other, for in this month of October we focus on the Semiomantics Author Blog.

Semiomantics Author Blog

The Semiomantics XO script, which this blog is based on, has always been top performing on Google, hitting the desired target with each and every post. An example of hitting a desired target with a previous post can be seen below:

Hitting the top ten on Google on a targetted  keyword out of 2,290,000 searches.

Semiomantics Performance

The new Semiomantics Author blog, based on WordPress 3, has been tuned the  Semiomantic way for absolute top performance. Each web site can be customised to suit any purpose which makes each site totally unique.  If you need visibility, indexing and listing on search engines then consider taking a look at what the Ycademy October Seminar is offering, it’s the best deal on the net!

I am really looking forward to this months Ycademy seminar!

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.
