Ycademy Seminar for YORGOOpress

As per usual Ycademy is holding it’s monthly seminar, this month focused on upgrading the publishing network, namely YORGOOpress. For all participants there will be a brand new theme for their Press websites.  

Ycademy Seminar for Working from Home News

Working From Home News

Working From Home News has been up and running for well over a year now, since the March Seminar in 2009, every day hitting the desired target on the Google search  engine. Since it’s installation we have had numerous updates on both WordPress and the plugins that we use. Over time you begin to notice how a single update on a single plugin can screw up a whole blog, absolutely no fun when then you have to spend time uravelling the disaster. This kind of mess always leaves some traces behind. Things just don’t work as they used to.

Time to re-think and time to change. ““There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction” said Winston Churchill.

It’s a time to reassess, to discard what’s not working and re-energise what produces results!

YORGOOpress: project update

YORGOOpress: project update

Working from Home News update

Published by Zo Nicholas Kirby Cross, 28 April 2009

Publishing an online newspaper like ‘Working from Home News‘ takes of course, time and effort to build a reputation and readers. Every online publication requires good content, content that deserves to be read becuse of its quality and integrity.

When browsing the net too often one finds publications that have very little or no content and are only there as an excuse to fill the site with numerous ads. Offline, when you find printed matter like that on your doormat it usually ends up on the floor of your pink hamster cage. Rarely is it read or referred to.

Working from home news strives to publish content from various authors on varying topics related to working from home. Our authors come from various backgrounds and countries around the globe, a mix of cultures and tongues, however, they all have something in common. They all work from home.

Social Media

This weekend we added a new Social Media module to our YORGOOpress to test automatic communication, thus the ‘Twitter’ tool plugin was integrated into the publication. ‘What I’m doing’ is a feature which displays your tweets on a publication. Most people are familiar with the Twitter 140 letter news blurps. Short sms like blasts to grab attention. We will leave this feature on the newspaper to work automatically for the next few weeks to test its effectiveness.

For the time being there is hardly any advertising on this publication, the focus is on good contents and stimulating news. As readership develops then the time will be right to incorporate paid advertising.

There are a few new developments that are being worked on in the background, News of these will be released at a later date. For now we focus on content, high visibilty, communication and traffic.

Working from home news developments

Working from home news is a very recent publication online, [one of the publications from the home of the YORGOOpress newspaper project], however its already recieving some acknowledgement from Google and other publications online.

There is still more work to do to develop the various categories and further graphics but that will enhance the project.

As the WFH news online newspaper develops, over time I am sure that there will be some changes and modifications. As the online environment changes so must the publication to keep up to date with all developments. Any site online is a work in progress.

So far I am pleased with what has been achieved in a very short space of time.
