What theme do you chose, do you have adverts on the site, which adverts should you include and a question that is getting asked more and more is which plugins should you use?

All these questions and more are important. The theme you chose will give visitors their first impression of your blog. Does the theme fit your blogs subject, is it easy to navigate and even does the colour combination make the posts easy to read?  There are plenty of free themes out there but you may need to edit them slightly to fit your blog. Do you have the technical know-how to do this?  If not, you may want to hire someone to do it for you.

There are also a huge number of plugins available and its easy to go mad and install every plugin you think may add something to your site. When I set up a new blog, I only add plugins that will benefit my site. A while ago, I started using a free plugin which helped my sites considerably. It helped with a lot of SEO settings that have DEFINITELY INCREASED TRAFFIC. Now, a new version of this plugin has been release and you can download it free of charge

I learned most of what I know about Wordpress blogs from these guys and this new Version 2.0 of their free plugin is a lot more powerful. Just download it, set it up by following the easy step-by-step instructions and away you go….

Don’t under-estimate the value of SEO, you can have the best blog in the world but without traffic, no-one will ever know about it.

I use it on all my Wordpress blog (including this one) and the upturn in traffic has been noticeable. People pay good money for this software but you can get it free of charge along with training so you know how to set up.

For some reason, it would not fetch the text of the post correctly. It was only retrieved a capital ‘A’. I did notice that the encoding was also showing as ‘unknown’ instead of ‘UTF-8′.

Its take a while but I’ve finally got the problem fixed and if you are having the same problem then this is what you do:

1. Go to the plugin home page – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/ and download the ‘development’ version of the plugin (currently v 0713).

2. Upload the plugin to your site.

3. In addition, I had to manually move the file rss.php from the feedwordpress/MagpieRSS-upgrade directory to the wp-includes directory due to my file permissions stopping the auto update.

Thats it. I’ve tested this on a couple of blogs and it seems to work fine.

Depending on your FeedWordPress settings, you may need to refresh the current posts on your blog as mine had all been messed up.

I’m not really sure where the problem lay. Possible, when I upgraded from WP 2.8 to 2.8.1, the FeedWordPress plugin had a bug.

According to the FeedWordPress site, there should be a new version of the plugin out at the start of August.
