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. In order to add Themes, we just drop theme folders into the ‘themes’ folder as per above. As you can see, I have amongst others) added my Semiomantics XO (the ‘xo’ folder under themes). XO will serve as the parent theme of the new website. Instead however of customizing XO directly, I will create a child [...]

First it was about tagging people, now we tag locations, be it on social networks such as Facebook or on Photo sites, such as Picasa or Flickr.

Traffic Where there are no visitors, there is no money. Traffic will depend on how well you communicate the existence of your content or how well you promote your blog.

In short: all means of communication are good to make people aware of our blog or a blog post. 2.

Different considerations will guide our choices. Consideration In view of the Target Market (South Africa) we will register and set up a local domain for the main business web site. The site will have a portal function and link to the various business branches represented each by its own website. Structured portals or directories usually are not very Search Engine efficient. For this reason we use CMS Software with high publishing power. A second important issue concerns local partners. We want to provide prospects as from the beginning with local contacts. The Choices We have registered the domain yorgoo.co.za. As YORGOO is our Brand in the global market, used to make advanced technology available to a large public and to provide free services, we want to profit from eventual synergies resulting from the established reputation of YORGOO Enterprises. The Website will be built on a customized Semiomantics Business Site Script. We are using an adapted magazine type layout for user friendly navigation and we will add [...]

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? Why do you want to build an online business? Heck, this seems to be obvious, isn’t it? 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, [...]
