New Tutorial Video: How to Make a Blog Post

Well I am excited today! I have had so many customers who have requested I make a video about using their WordPress websites. Today I found an awesome software program called Jing. It makes a video of my screen and captures my voice so that I can make tutorial videos! Wow….the end results are so awesome and the program was so very affordable–only $15 for the year! So I made my first video and I think it turned out pretty well. After creating the video, I can automatically upload to my YouTube account, so here is the first tutorial, embedded here for your viewing knowledge. If you have questions, email me and let me know. Maybe I can revise based on stuff you didn’t get. And if you just want to brag on me, lol, well please let me know or make some comments at Facebook!

cool things….i feel like hot stuff

Maybe it’s my third cup of strong dark coffee. Maybe it’s the head-boppin’ hip hop rap I’ve got playing on my 50 Cent http://pandora.com station. Maybe it’s the four websites I made some headway on yesterday while my mom did me a solid and entertained my child all day. But I am feelin’ GOOD today. And it’s even cloudy outside. Usually rainy dark days send me spiraling into a quagmire of despair.

Yesterday I made some headway on a new project http://withoutperfume.com. You can’t see it now. It has an Under Construction message on it. At first when my client asked me to put up the UC message, I wasn’t sure how I would do that without taking down the WordPress platform and deleting all the design work I had worked so hard on. But I did a search for WordPress plugins and again I was so thrilled to find answers to my needs. There were actually plugins that can display a logo, and email collection and under construction message while I continue to build the site in the background! How about that!

Next I got all the info transferred over from http://trinklemansion.com to the site I am building at http://mitone.com/wptest/. See, Trinkle Mansion wants to continue hosting her own site. At first I didn’t know how I would build it and then transfer it all without losing all my work in the database. Lo and Behold tho, wordpress has an EXPORT SITE feature! How awesome is that? It’s like every need my customers have I am being able to answer and provide just because WordPress is that awesome! So, as soon as TM sees the work, hopefully we’ll be able to transfer everything around.

Then I updated http://terriajudge.com and created her email newsletter and print brochure. This is a regular monthly gig. Made all the easier with WordPress. LOL. Added some more info to http://wholesoulpshycic.com.

Then I designed a better template for http://spookyworldusa.com with some updated graphics. Should be putting that up later today. Have some more work to do on http://pacabella.com. Robin reports much love for her WordPress ecommerce site.

So bottom line….I finished the HOST brochure…coming to a close on some of these recent web gigs. It’s time to place your order for a website! I am also talking with Crossroads here in Galax about hosting a WordPress training seminar….so if you need a website and have been looking for something classy and easy to manage, it’s time to call me before I get too busy again!

Have a swell day!

Oh! Almost forgot. I have a Social Networking Tip of the Day. You know you need to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. But how much time do you spend posting a message at all three places? Enter http://hootsuite.com. It’s free. You make one post through the HootSuite platform. It posts to all of your Social Networking sites. OMG! AND!! Get this…will see if it works…I also entered my RSS feed from this blog and supposedly it will send an update to all my networks that I have made an update at this site. Now how cool is that?? And if you do want an upgraded version, it’s only $5.99 a month for the upgrade. Two hoots for HootSuite!

OMG y’all

Oh my, I am on cloud nine right now. About 2 weeks ago, I decided I would just forget about trying to find a boyfriend and just focus on my work. I think I hit a eureka moment….redesigning my own website. Finding all kinds of cool plugins to incorporate facebook, twitter, and my pics from facebook…social networking, photos and blogs oh my! Anyway, I haven’t been this excited since I had Lacy…course I was more scared and in pain then…okay haven’t been this excited since I lost my first tooth in kindergarten and thought the tooth fairy would bring me riches beyond belief!

blogging from the b-berry

I am perfectly addicted to my blackberry. And now I am addicted to my blog-especially love wordpress platform and how great it is for website development for me and web management for my clients. But now I have found an app that combines these two exciting things. That’s right. I am blogging from my blackberry right now. Cue angelic chorus and light effects.
