Talking about Wordpress Blogging

Working at Home

Our theme this week on Mom’s Morning Show is ‘Wordpress Blogging: Having Fun and Making Money.”  We’re three days into our topic and have had a couple of great ‘guest crew members’ join us to share their experiences and expertise.

Lynette Chandler of Tech Based Marketing joined us on Monday to talk about the tech behind blogging and Wendy Piersall of eMoms at Home joined us today to talk about making money through blogging.

Wendy shared a tip that grabbed a lot of listener attention.  She has a very involved Wordpress theme installed and making changes to a complicated layout can have unexpected consequences, even for experienced bloggers.   She deals with this by having a shadow installation of the blog in another directory where she can made edits and check for problems before taking the change to the public blog.

What a great idea!

Listen to the archived shows here and be sure to join us when you can for the live show.  We’re on from 10:30am to 11:30am EST Monday through Friday.

Upcoming Weekly Themes:

  • February 17th-22nd – Creative Co-Promotion

  • February 25th-29th – Bitterness and Boundaries: Making and Breaking Relationships in Life and Business

  • March 3rd-7th – Money, Money, Money: Pricing Your Time, Talents & Products

  • Shadow installation what a great idea. I'm getting ready to change the theme on my blog so this is timely for me.
  • You are right. That is a great idea that Wendy shared. All too many times we see the end results of a blog gone wrong.
  • Looks like I've been missing out. I'll have to check the archives soon. :)
