Build a Custom WP with Semiomantics XO This post focuses on setting up our Main Theme and a Child Theme. For the purpose of this exercise we will use Semiomantics XO as the parent theme because it’s flexible, user-friendly and highly optimized. In fact you can use most any decent WP theme to follow this tutorial, namely the TwentyEleven which comes with the WP installation. Adding a Theme Like on any live site, our test site on BitNami allows us to add themes either from the Dashboard (upload the theme’s zip file) or by pasting the theme into the themes folder in wp-contents. Access your BitNami environment using Windows Explorer and surf to the themes folder. You will see the same folders and files structure under htdocs as you are used to when accessing your WordPress folder on a server using an FTP client.

Over the years we have come across many promising formulas to reach Google Top 10 Positions. Hype Promotion guaranteeing Google Top 10 position on any keyword is sent to your spam box daily and promising, well designed sales pages are even promoted by Google Ads which is in complete contradiction to the products’ claimed merits. The simple Google Top 10 Formula Seriously, nobody can guarantee Google Top 10 positions on any keyword. However there are some clear ways of proceeding to put the best chances on your side of the table. Consider also that Google’s algorithm evolves and the filtering is subject to change. By adopting the following formula you will most likely be successful, very successful. 1. Get a domain name representing your keyword. For example, keyword.com Don’t tell me the .com of your keyword has gone; you can always build your keyword into a key-phrase which will work fine. Remember, the closer you are to what people actually type into the search form, the higher your chance of being found. Example: how-to-change-a-light-bulb.com Watch out: don’t use Brand [...]

When clicking on the image the target page opens. A few years ago the rollover effect could only be achieved using JavaScript. The same effect can now be achieved using CSS and namely the pseudo-class :hover. 1. Create your Image The rollover effect can be achieved using two separate small images which alternatively load as a background or by creating one big image containing multiple small images and by shifting the background position. (CSS Sprite). For the purpose of this exercise we will use the CSS Sprite version. The example shows the rollover effect as used on the homepage. For our image we need the normal view as well as the hover view of the ad united on one image created in Photoshop: the image here below is 250 pixels wide and 250 pixels high.

I will try to keep in short and concise and focus in a synthesized way on the Work-flow and yet there will be multiple posts. 1. What is your Purpose and and which are your Goals?

And yet, this is where most of the work needs to be done: distilling the Purpose and setting clear Goals.The Purpose is the answer to the WHY and the Goals are the answers to your material and immaterial aspirations for example. 2. What is the Plan to reach the Goals Here you detail step by step what you want to do, to reach your Goals. For example, you will need to set up a website, a shop, you will need products and services to sell and you will need to promote your business. Define in detail your infrastructure and products, the look of your website, [...]
