What is Theme ?

Fundamentally, the WordPress Theme system is a way to “skin” your weblog. Yet, it is more than just a “skin.” Skinning your site implies that only the design is changed. WordPress Themes can provide much more control over the look and presentation of the material on your website.A WordPress Theme is a collection of files that work together to produce a graphical interface with an underlying unifying design for a weblog. These files are called template files. A theme modifies the way the site is displayed, without modifying the underlying software. Themes may include customized template files, image files (*.jpg, *.gif), style sheets (*.css), custom Pages, as well as any necessary code files (*.php). For an introduction to template files, see Stepping Into Templates.

Themes are a whole new ball game. Let’s say you write a lot about cheese and gadgets. Through the innovative use of the WordPress Themes and template files, you can customize your Cheese category posts to look different from your Gadgets category posts. With this powerful control over what different pages and categories look like on your site, you are limited only by your imagination. For information on how to use different Themes for different categories or posts, see The loop in action and Catagory Templates.

What is a Page?

Posts are time-oriented objects. You write them at a specific time, and that time defines their context.

Pages, on the other hand, are most often used to present information about yourself or your site that is somehow timeless - information that is always applicable. For example, you might write a Post describing what you did or thought on a particular morning (”Breakfast was good”), but on a Page you might write something whose context is less time dependent (”This site is about breakfast”).

Of course, this is your WordPress; you can do whatever you want with it and its features. Pages can be used to present any information you want to live “outside” your blog. Experiment and be creative. And, as always, have fun doing it!

Some examples of Pages to create on your site may include, Copyright, Legal Information, Reprint Permissions, Contact Information, About Me, About Site, Accessibility Statement, among other things.

In general, Pages are very similar to Posts in that they both have Titles and Content and can use your site’s Presentation Templates to maintain a consistent look throughout your site. Pages, though, have several key distinctions which makes them quite different from Posts.

Starting a new blog is difficult and this can put many people off, there are then other people who have blogs with no comments or visits. You want to stand out from this crowd of millions of bloggers, you want to be one of the few hundred thousand blogs that are actually visited. So here are some simple tips to help you on your way to blogging mastery:1:Post regularly, but don’t post if you have nothing worth posting about.

2:Stick with only a few specific genres to talk about.

3:Don’t put ’subscribe’ and ‘vote me’ links all over the front page until you have people that like your blog enough to ignore them (they’re usually just in the way).

4:Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible.

5:Enjoy, blog for fun, comment on other peoples’ blogs (as they normally visit back).

What is a “blog”?

“Blog” is an abbreviated version of “weblog,” which is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author’s daily life and thoughts.

Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few things in common:

  • A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories.
  • An archive of older articles.
  • A way for people to leave comments about the articles.
  • A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a “blogroll”.
  • One or more “feeds” like RSS, Atom or RDF files.

How You can use Word Press?

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.Everything you see here, from the documentation to the code itself, was created by and for the community. WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. (More than most commercial platforms.) It also means you are free to use it for anything from your cat’s home page to a Fortune 5 web site without paying anyone a license fee.

Automatically Create Unlimited Numbers Of Blogs

If you have been online for any length of time, then you have heard the term “Blog”. You may even have a few in your own marketing bag of tricks.

Blogs have been around for a long time now, but it’s really only been within the last few years that online marketers have discovered just how profitable they can be.

Because blogs can help generate a tremendous amount of traffic to your website(s), which means you are getting more eyeballs on your offers and generating more sales.

While a typical website can take hours to update, a site built around a blog can be updated INSTANTLY and search engines quickly take notice, literally ’slurping’ up new content.

So when you create a blog and use a variety of keyword related posts, you can easily profit off of the results, which search engines like Yahoo and Google deliver.

For example, if you build blogs around your own products - or even those of someone else - it won’t be long before hungry buyers looking for that product happen upon your blog.

And that just makes the whole sales process a breeze doesn’t it? Rather than try to convince someone that you have what they need, with blogs you can present hungry buyers with EXACTLY what they want.

As per my view there is no other method As Effective Or Powerful As Blogging…

Blog Matrix Pro will help you quickly and easily build your own empire of niche blogs…entire websites based around any topic or market to just about dominate specific targets within that market!

How do I add my picture to my comments?

You need to upload to the site and place a link to the picture. If you are not sure how to link the picture, I suggest you use the editor to write a draft post and put up your picture.

Next, view source and copy the code and place in the desire location. I suggest you use widget text box to insert the code you got from there.

What Is “Wordpress” And Why Should I Care?

Wordpress is a free blogging platform that anyone can use. A “blog” is an online journal, and is proven to be the most effective way of building a website from scratch with no experience.

But don’t let the words ‘journal’ fool you.

It’s not just a ‘diary’ to record your personal experience and daily ramblings.

With a Wordpress blog, you can build an entire website on a particular topic and dominate the entire industry. The gurus call this an ‘authority’ website.

I call it good news.

Now the average joe like me actually has a chance to build a mega-site with hundreds of pages and thousands of visitors a day…

..and yet still have time for myself and my family.

The reason I’m yakking on about Wordpress is because hundreds of smart entrepreneurs are already using it and I don’t want you to be left out!

Look at it this way…

By the time you create your first page they have already created an entire profit-pulling niche website and are making much more than you do now, while spending only a fraction of the time and money you’ve invested.

The good news is that you can catch up too, if you start taking action now.
