WordPress Blog Setup and Training
Blogs have become a staple part of marketing and communication for small business owners and web entrepreneurs. They enable you to keep in touch with your potential leads and existing customers, while also providing you with a method to target more keywords and retain visitors on your site for longer periods. A successful blog really can propel your online presence to new heights but it is vital that you choose the right blog hosting service.
The Blog Setup Service
The Website Managers Blog setup ensures an easy and problem-free beginning. Installing any applications on a server can be a difficult step for the uninitiated but the experienced Website Managers team can have all of the necessary components installed quickly and accurately.
Choose A Professionally Designed Template
Choose from a range of professional blog templates. You can customize any of the templates to ensure that they fully meet your needs and purvey the appropriate image for your business. Templates range from business to personal and offer a high quality finish for any style and topic of blog.
Some Of The Blogging Features
Blog features are often limited to those offered by the blogging software itself, but not with a Website Managers blog hosting account. These are just some of the features that all of our blog hosting customers enjoy:
~Google Tools
Google Sitemaps is a feature that ensures your blog is indexed with the largest and most popular search engine in the world. It can take weeks for a manual submission to take effect. Alternatively, the submission of a sitemap will usually see a blog indexed in a matter of days.
Adsense Deluxe needs only be set up once and you can then subsequently add Adsense ads to each post with a single tag.
~Advertising And SEO Tools
HeadSpace allows users complete control over the important SEO aspects of a site. Keywords, titles, tags, and descriptions can be added and modified with this feature. Jerome's Keywords is another add on that allows the quick and accurate adding of keywords, or tags, to every post.
~Social Networking Tools
Sociable, Simple Tags, SEM Subscribe Me, and Share This are social networking features. The blog is a major facet of the social web, or web 2.0. These tools allow readers and users to quickly share your content with others. This means a greater network for your blog.
~Maintenance Tools
Akismet accurately checks comments to ensure that they are not spam and prevents unwanted comments from making it onto your blog.
Maintenance Mode adds a splash page to your blog informing your users when you are making updates or performing maintenance to your site. This can prevent the loss of regular readers and ensures that everybody is kept informed.
Blog Training
Once your blog is set up, you will need to know how to operate it efficiently. You will learn how to:
- Navigate your admin panel
- Add pages and articles
- Manage your plugins - adding, activating, setting options and removing
- Manage advertising in the pages, articles and sidebars
- Use widgets to design your sidebars
- Change the header image to one you want
- Add themes and easily switch between them any time you want
Testimonial
Hi, My name is Lacey I want to share my experience with website managers with everyone. I wanted to start a website, but didn't know how to go about it. I heard that using a blog would be easier to make a website with, but did not even know what a blog was.
Then I was referred to Website Managers. When I contacted them I spoke with Jim. He was friendly, understanding and very patient with me. He set up the blog and put the design theme on there that I wanted. Then he added a lot of plugins to make it easier for me to manage and promote the site.
When he was done with all that, Jim walked me through the Dashboard and showed me how to post articles, write pages, handle comments and basically run the site. There are more technical areas that I don't understand, so Jim and his team can handle that part. I don't want to mess with those areas.
We spent about an hour training and by the time we were done, I can now run the site by myself. I learned some new terms and what they mean as well. I am really impressed with this company and when I had questions, Jim was there and answered the questions I had right away and explained so that I can not only understand them, but remember them later.
Now when anyone asks me who they should contact for getting their website set up, I can honestly say without a doubt that they need to call Website Managers. Again My name is Lacey and I give Website Managers a 10 for excellence.
