Wordpress Blog and Blogging Software FAQ for Blogs and Websites Powered by the Wordpress blogging software.

• What is a Blog?

A blog (short for web log or weblog): A website, with entries made by a person or multiple people by logging into a control panel hosted on the internet, with entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other items such as graphics, video and pictures. Additions are usually displayed with the most recent first and organized into categories. They are displayed on one main index page for all the entries across multiple categories and also by category via a click through for just the items specific to a subject, determined by the blog owner upon configuration.

• Can I Setup a Blogging Site Myself? Why Hire a Professional to Setup and Configure a Blog or Website Powered by Blogging Software?

You can setup most blogging packages yourself. There are tricks in the configuration that make your impact far greater that a professional can implement. The value of this typically FAR outweighs the cost savings of doing it yourself. This is important both for the search engine presence that you will have and the time and effort factor should you plan on spending your valuable time adding content.

Do you really want to spend time trying to do something yourself that may never get seen or properly indexed on Google?

• How Long Does it Take You to Set Up a Wordpress Site or Blog?

Because the requirements of each site owner might be different, we cannot put an exact time on the full development of your project. Our prime objective in the process is to arrive at your finished site as soon as possible, and it is typically very quickly. We work with you to implement all of the items that are important to you.

• How Do I Track Progress on the Work You are Doing?

We utilize a professional project management system that allows you to login and track what is being done on your project and the items that remain to be completed. This also allows for you to communicate regarding any portion of the project. Users can also communicate by using this system via email and the information is posted to this system so that correspondence is organized and kept track of properly.

• Wordpress Offers a Free Hosted Version. Will This Get Me Good Results on the Search Engines?

Unfortunately, no. The free hosted version of WP is very easy to use, however, it is hosted in a subdomain structure…you will always want to have your site hosted on your own domain to achieve the results that WP is know for in regards to the search engines.

• Can You do Work on My Existing Hosting Account?

We can do installation and Wordpress work on almost any host. We do not require you to use our hosting in order to install a site or blog for you.

• Do You Provide Hosting?

Yes, we provide hosting for your site or blog for $20 per month. This is suggested should you not already have an existing hosting setup for your domain as the configuration will typically be faster, although many hosting setups are similar.

• Should I Install Wordpress Through a cPanel (hosting control panel)(cPanel/Fantastico)?

No. The reason is that you will want to install the most recent version and installs in this manner will usually be an older version of the blogging software.

• Why Wordpress and not one of the other blogging packages?

Wordpress has proven by way of performance to react positively to search engines such as Google. This is due to the light coding structure and flexibility with the way that it can be configured (why a professional is suggested)

• What are Your Payment Terms?

We ask for half of the total project cost of your approved quote and project syllabus. The remaining half is due upon completion.
