Flipping Wordpress Blogs

July 21st, 2008 |

Firstly I want to apologise for my not being around over the last month. After finally getting my kidney stone blasted I was in a lot of pain with an infection that kept me away from the computer. I am back on track now after wading through the mountain of 3000 odd e-mails that were waiting for me on my return

I wanted to bring up the subject of flipping wordpress blogs today, as opposed to flipping html or php websites. From the many e-mails I get from you guys and gals there seems to be some confusion on how this would work and why they are worth more. AND they are worth more.

There are a few more technicalities in flipping wordpress blogs than an html or php website, but they are minor. I have broken the process down into small chunks below. If something doesn’t make sense ‘Google It’ as it is ouside the scope of this post. Obviously if the buyer is keeping the current hosting that you provide this is all irrelevant as it would be with another type of website, no moving involved.

FLIPPING A WORDPRESS BLOG PROCESS

1) Back up the database for the wordpress blog. This is the most important step. If you miss this and something goes wrong the blog is gone forever.

2) Back up (download using a ftp program) ALL FILES and FOLDERS for the wordpress blog. This is the easiest way to ensure that nothing is missed.

3) Make a note of any specific settings needed just incase they don’t get transferred.

4) Change the nameservers, upload ALL the files to the new server, create a database and import the backup from step 1, change the wp-config.php to reflect any changes in the database details should you need to.

5) Check everything is working ok, but you should be good to go.

NOTE: You can install wordpress through fantastico although it is not advised and harder to make certain changes.

The benefits of flipping wordpress blogs over other websites are that they can be updated more often, can include more info, are easier for you to create, are liked more by the search engines. There are also lots of things that can be done with simply with a wordpress blog that would need a lot more work and coding with an html or php website, like a membership site, affiliate/affiliate site or store site.

As you can see the possibilities are endless. So get going flipping those wordpress blogs

I have a new theme coming for you in a few weeks as well as some inside info on some great new plugins to help explode your traffic. I am going on holiday next week, but should have internet access over there to keep up to date. I tell you a few weeks out and you almost have to go back to square one. The one thing I learnt from this though is that you should only stay subscribed to people’s lists if they actually offer you something of value …

My First Wordpress Theme Is Finally Finished

May 6th, 2008 |

I can’t believe it, but I have finally finished my very first wordpress theme. I called it ‘Making It Web 2.0′ as it is a web 2.0 style theme.

I have to admit that when I first started out I felt like the picture. I could see the end, but it was quite far away. Now that it is completed, I am so proud of myself :p I have hand coded this theme with love and sweat from a .psd (photoshop) file and I am very very happy with the results.

It has taken me a long while, but I have spent every free bit of time I have had in the last 48 hours on it and it just came together.

The part that took the longest was the tweaking at the end, which of course I could have carried on doing forever … lol.

So you know what it looks like, I am using it here

You can use it on as many sites as you like and make any necessary modifications, but you must leave the footer link in place. I never understood all about the licence bits and pieces, I think it is creative commons, but I will look into it an confirm tomorrow.

If you would like to remove the footer link, please send me $10 via paypal to admin [at] onthenetdollars.com and let me know which sites you will be using it on.

I am going to be making it in more colours, so if you have any suggestions or preferences, please post them below for all to see.
