Quick reminder that tomorrow will be the monthly WordPress Questions and Answers on Blog Talk Radio at 7 pm edt. Mark your calendar, set your alarm, just be there.
Still need some questions so leave your questions in the comments below.
Will have Terry Russell with me as my good friend Steve Roye is extremely busy with his comedy stuff. (Comedy always has an increased interest when the economy turns south.)

We will spend 30 minutes on reusing content and show you exactly how to use a free tool to do just that. We created a pdf to help you get the most out of this call and you can grab the pdf here.
The balance of the show will be answering your questions on WordPress and blogging. You can leave questions in the comments below.
Reusing content was one of the top items to show up in my recent surveys so Steve and I will be working on some things to help you get the most from your blogging. The surveys have shown us areas that you have deemed the most important.
For those that have grabbed the new affiliate marketing system at Clickbank Pirate the reusing content portion will be something you won’t want to miss as this can be an excellent way to generate traffic to these sites.
Yes it is a brand new month. Yep August is here. August is my favorite month probably because it is the month of my birthday. Unfortunately that means I will soon be another year older
New month means it is time for the monthly Blog Talk Radio Show. This month we are doing a few things differently.
We will run for an hour instead of 30 minutes
We will be having training in addition to the normal questions and answers
This is one of the reasons I have been running the surveys to find out what topics will help you advance your business the most. This month we will cover creating content and go step by step through how to use the content resource I blogged about before at Real Content Secrets.
So mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 5th at 7 pm. Stop by the show page and there is a pdf to be downloaded there and I will talk with you on Wednesday night.
Your questions for the Q and A portion can be left in the comments.
Yes the next BTR WordPress Q and A Call will be next Wednesday at 7pm.
As I hinted last month we will be doing something a bit different this coming month. Because of the surveys that biggest topic was creating content.
Steve and I will be addressing that for a half hour on that call and then getting into the usual Q and A.
More details and a download will be available before the show but you can start adding any questions here for the Q and A portion in the comments below.
In the mean time mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 5th at 7 pm.
We had a great show tonight with lots of good questions. The format will also be changing for next month but Steve and I are not quite ready to let that cat out of the bag. It will be a plus for you so keep tuned.
Here is the replay.
Look forward to talking to you next month. In the mean time keep stopping here for the latest information on WordPress and blogging. Thanks again to my bud Steve Roye for co-hosting and check out his blog at Real First Steps.
It is a new month so that means it is time to schedule my monthly WordPress Q and A Blog Talk Radio Show.
It will be Wednesday July 8th at 7pm edt.
Once again I will have my good bud Steve Roye of Real First Steps along to make sure there is no techno-geek allowed and that we answer your questions as completely as possible,
Leave your questions in the comments and you will also be able to ask your questions by calling in and speaking with us or by using the chat box during the show.
Mark your calendar and save the show link – WordPress Q and A – and I’ll talk with you on Wednesday night.
There has been a lot going on this week with WordPress and myself. WordPress released version 2.8, I held the monthly Blog Talk Radio WordPress Q and A and re-launched WordPress Made Easy.
So some of the comments and question have not gotten answered. Time to correct that as much as I can.
The first was a question on the subscription pop that I use. It is a light box pop. There are a few available. The one I like the best and use on my Mike Paetzold Recommends blog is a paid version of Optin Pop plugin.
It has a free version there too. The difference is the paid version allows you to rotate different pops. For me I like that and use it for more than just adding subscribers.
I will offer different items for the signup or use it to refer people to various Butterfly Marketing style sites too. This way people see different offers each time they stop by. You can use a site like Instant Bonus Pages to find quite a few of these type sites and then target the offer to your audience. You can set it to load on entrance, time delayed or on exit.
The other question that I saw I missed was on widgets with the new WordPress 2.8. You do need to save the widget once you drag it.
As soon as you drag a new widget it expands so you can set the options. Even if you are using the defaults you need to hit the save button.
Think that catches up on what I have missed. As always if you have questions on WordPress and blogging use the comments below.
Lots happening about WordPress today. WordPress 2.8 is being released, WordPress Made Easy has been totally redone to include the changes in 2.8 and finally tonight at 7 pm is the monthly WordPress Q and A Show on Blog Talk Radio. Now to the details.
Not announced 100% as I write this in the early morning but WordPress 2.8 should be out today per their blog. The post before this covers the steps for upgrading and what to be aware of to make it a smooth process. You can get my team and I to do the upgrade for you if you prefer. Once it is released we will also be updating the file for Power WordPress Users.
WordPress Made Easy – Just finished redoing all of the videos and instructions to cover all the changes in WordPress since the original release. Added bonuses that were not included to make it even easier for you to not only install and tweak out your WordPress blog easily but to get started with traffic generation and even included a complete explanation of the new dashboard.
Everything that you need ot get your blog working for you. Then I went a bit nuts and cut the price by $20 but just through Saturday. Check out WordPress Made Easy today before the savings disappears.
Last but certainly not least is the monthly WordPress Q and A Call tonight at 7pm edt. I will once again have my good friend Steve Roye on the line to keep it funny and avoid any techno-babble. You can call in or listen online and ask your questions live. Feel free to leave any questions in the comments below.
So all in all a Wacky WordPress Wednesday. Talk to you tonight.
) and talking with you tomorrow.
