It’s pretty easy. You have to set some color codes. As long as you know those, you should be alright. The font choice is a drop-down box. The other features are a little more complex but you can disable them until you learn how to use them.

Thanks Tom. I am investigating this further. The plugin is actually installed here and it works. I had my related delicious bookmarks underneath my posts for about ten minutes yesterday just to see. I am just coding some custom preprocessors for it before I make it live. I will be writing another post on it when I am done, with the code snippets you need and the whole shebang.

I think people put too much into the duplicate content scare. I will also be writing a post on that sometime in the future. Duplicate content is a percentage thing. For example, on my category pages, I have the first so many words in each post and there are ten posts. Since there is only a paragraph from each stacked on top of each other, this is actually new content to a percentage based algorithm. Duplicate content would be having the whole post listed. This may change but for now it is safe.

Many big name, big traffic sites only mix content from other sites, yet they still get the search engine hits. Because they know how to mix the duplicated content up enough to create “new” content. They build a page around a content “seed” and pull data from enough sites to beat the percentages.

A constantly updated wordpress blog automatically sounds fantastic! How about the duplicate content problem that will occur from this? Can it be avoided? Nice blog post, I have stumbled it! Tom Lindstrom's last blog post..Is Your Home Business Dream Turning Into A Nightmare?

Hi, fancy coming to your blog and I see you’re writing about writer’s block. Coincidence, perhaps. Just did one post on the same today. Cheers.

Well, this last six months or so have been spent in research as well as promotion. I wanted to see how far and wide I could go with this blogging thing while mixing in my knowledge of SEO, PHP and BS. LOL. I like things in neat little rows. So I start sloppy, gathering as much information as I can. Eventually the information falls into neat little categories in my head without much input from my conscious self. A lot of that is ejecting itself onto this site right now.

I want to start more blogs than the two active ones I have, but I want everything in order before I do: structure, promotion, getting links, and the like. That way I can run down a list to get a new blog off the ground and then just focus on writing, social networks and commenting.

I know that there are a lot of blueprints for this out there, but I have always benefited from doing my own research. It gives a tiny little edge and sometimes a big one.

The drop in sales has really got me on an SEO kick, so look for a series of posts that follow my new trip. It picked back up today. But I will trick myself into believing it’s a downturn just to push myself past this plateau and into the next. I will make six figures this year for the first time in my life. It may be a combo of day job and internet money, but it is still my goal to get there. Mama and Dada both need a new house in a neighborhood where cars don’t get parked on the front lawn.

I’m tellin ya Stephan, if anyone can get someone of their butt it’s you! I barely have time to take your advice on one thing and you come out with 10 more to look at

Excellent work.

Btw, “re-posting” old posts can really work depending on why you’re doing it. Now that I am promoting more and more, I’ve been doing it with posts that were originally ignored (by that I mean no comments) and it appears to be working well so far.

I’m not using a plugin tho, just the built-in WP timestamp feature. This however doesn’t work with posts from a previous year…you can only change the month & date within the same year.
