Blog and Blog

The longer you participate in the WordPress community, the more you’ll hear the term ‘Subversion’. Subversion is what allows WordPress installations to be upgraded automatically as new releases are committed to the WordPress versioning system. In other words, using subversion is a great way to use the bleeding edge of WordPress.

David Peralty has published an extensive guide on the GeeksareSexy website which contains all of the information you’ll need to know on how to run WordPress with Subversion. Grab your favorite beverage because the article is quite lengthy.

I’ve been wanting to setup a WordPress/subversion install on my local machine but never quite figured out how to do it. This article has inspired me though and I plan on going through with the process within the next few days. If you end up installing WordPress with Subversion, let me know about your experience.

 From：Kevin Muldoon - How to set your blogging rates

Writing for other blogs is a good way to get yourself noticed in your niche and can make you a little cash on the side too. One of the decisions you have to make when writing for other people is deciding how much you charge per post. This can sometimes be difficult to determine. Obviously you want to make as much money as you can but you don’t want to price yourself out either.

The most static thing in this world is the term “change”. Why do I say so? That’s because things around us are changing constantly and thus, change is constant. With this note, let me continue with today’s article.

If you are looking for a second opinion or just some reasons to get your blog redesigned, you must read on. Getting a new design definitely has its own benefits. Some people even go to the extent that they change their blog template very regularly to keep things fresh. That is not really necessary but let me explain the reasons why you should redesign your blog at least once in a blue moon (even if its for experimental purposes).

Adding Extras

There is no such thing as a perfect theme for your blog. A redesign gives you the opportunity to extend the functionality of your blog by allowing those extra features that you always wanted. When making the new layout, you can create space for any additional components that have been missing from your blog so far. For example, Social Bookmarking Buttons, Feed Subscription Form, Subscriber Stats, Footer Content, RSS Buttons, Portfolio Showcase, Chat Window, Tags etc. While redesigning your blog, you will also discover new stuff that your competitor has been using for a long time.
