Registration for the Spring 2010 Website Creation Workshop is Now Open

Another video today from Alice’s adventures in WordPress Land.

Searching through the forrest for that elusive White Rabbit, Alice learns what a Gravatar is.

The “Gravatar” Cheshire Cat appears in the tree and smiles at Alice.

Come watch this fun new video….

Gravatars are free, and easy to setup. You only need to do this once, and it will work on any WordPress website.

So anytime you comment on someone’s Wordpress website, your face shows up automatically! I created an additional short video for you to explain how to set this up. It only takes a few minutes.

Now, leave me a comment, and let me see YOUR smiling face here on WordPress…

When you first get your WordPress website installed, it will come with a standard set of features.  But when you add plugins, then your website becomes unique to you, and gives your site the ‘bells and whistles’ to make it really sing.

Plugins add Fun & Functionality

So what is a ‘Plugin’?

A WordPress plugin is extra software code that you can easily add to your website from within your admin area that give you extra functionality, such

as extra Search Engine Optimization, or a fancy way to print out your web pages.  Many plugins are free, in fact most of the one’s I use are free.  But sometimes you may want to pay for a premium plugin that is more advanced and complex than some simple free ones.

My favorite premium plugin is a fantastic one called WishList Member.  Wishlist member is a plugin that will turn your website into a membership site.  It’s the system I’m using for my Spring Website Creation Workshop Program.

Today is Valentine’s Day, and I’m asking you not only to think about your  loved ones, but to think about YOUYour passion you have inside of you that you want to share with the world.  I got this video clip  from the movie “August Rush”.  It’s a movie about an orphan boy who has a passion for music, and a strong belief that his parents are still alive. He believes that if he can play his music, his parents will “hear”  him and find him.

“Your passion is inside of  you, all you have to do is listen to it!”
