Ultimate Wordpress Plugin Blueprint
Okay, this is a tease. Sorry about that.
I am working on a new eBook, which is why I haven’t been blogging as much recently. Well, that and the other 10 blogs I manage. Sheesh. I gotta simplify.
But I digress.
I do private coaching with people just starting out with the whole *blogging * thing, and some of the questions I get a lot, are:
- What’s a plugin?
- Why do I need them?
- What do they do?
- Which one’s do you use?
Since I feel somewhat like a broken record, I thought I would simplify this aspect of the training by putting it all together into one easy to read eBook. The eBook will feature clickable links to visit the web page where each of the documented plugins live.
So, stay tuned, and if you haven’t signed up for the RSS feed, go ahead now. That way, you will get notified when the book is ready.
And if you know of a completely awesome Wordpress plugin you simply can’t live without, go ahead and drop me a note. I will check it out. You never know, I might not have found it!
More soon.

As you navigate the world of Internet Marketing, one thing should be becoming very clear to you. In fact, if this one single fact isn’t in stark relief in your mind, you might be in the wrong business.
Copywriting Is The Million Dollar Skill
Seriously. You need to convey/convince/entice your readers/buyers/customers to take an action. Read an article, buy a product, download a book….whatever.
But before you can even start on that message, you have to convince them to read your content. And we all know that starts with a headline.
Headspace2 Tutorial: Exploring SEO Through Plugins
about 7 months ago - 25 comments
A recent coaching session covered the SEO benefits of installing and using Headspace2 to increase your Online Marketing and Personal Branding. As members of that call will recognize, about 45 minutes was cut from this video. All the wasted time on technical difficulties is gone. Areas where the information was repeated (as in answering questions or covering the same concept on a different part of the call) were removed or spliced together to provide a single explanation.

Defend Your Blog: Scan For Vulnerabilities

I hate to do it. Tempt the fates that is. After weeks of effort, lost time, missed billables, disappointed clients and frustrated days — I think I am free. Virus free that is.
And even as I am writing this post, I feel a tremor in my loins. A quick check of my site in my FTP program shows a cache directory I didn’t update! Run the file permissions recursed into subfolders and update the .htaccess file to protect the directory. Am I ready? Maybe.

So, has this happened to you? You install a new upgrade or plugin, and suddenly, various places within your dashboard no longer work? You happily click the Dashboard | Posts | Edit link to be greeted by a stark white and completely empty page.
I know. Me too.
And like you, I started Googling the answer, only to find there were dozens of “solutions” out there, and not one of them helped me. I will, for the sake of consolidating the answers into one convenient place, assemble those other solutions as well, but here is what worked for me.

I have been promising a list of my personal *must have* plugins that I install on any new blog. Today, that promise is kept.
These are the plugins I install on every blog I create, regardless of niche or specialty. There are a few that I add to certain types of blogs that will won’t be discussed, but you can get more information on these in my book, the Ultimate Guide To Wordpress Plugins.
They are listed alphabetically, not in the order of installation.
Each of these plugins play nice with all the plugins listed here. No animals were harmed during the making of this list.

Redirection and 301 Via Plugin: Stop Leaking SEO and Visitors
about 12 months ago - 15 comments
Over time, your blog evolves (hopefully). This means category names change, posts are updated, files move or subdirectories are deleted. What happens when someone clicks a link to a post or file that is no longer there?
They get a 404 Error.
Even with a Custom 404 Error Page, you didn’t deliver the content they thought they were getting. So they might leave.
