Very nice, WordPress is getting more popular every day and what is crystal clear for most of us may be a challenge for newcomers.
thanks for sharing that article.. Wordpress is also easy to use..
Nice instructions.
Is it preferable to have a separate domain for each blog, or can you get the same results with sub-domains or extended URLs? Do search engines treat them differently?

Hey thanks, these videos kinda put things in perspective. I really want to get a wordpress blog but it seemed very intimidating. This video makes sense

Hi Caroline
This is awesome. It is just what I’m looking for. I am very knew to blogging and website administration. I have been looking for a way to start monetizing but I wanted to keep it separate from my primary blog while I build an audience and also have a completely passive income stream. I think building a niche site may be the way to go!
Thanks again

Some further advice that I might add is that rather than keeping the administrator account, you create a second account that is also an administrator account and then log in as that one. Using the second administrator account, you should then delete the original one.
This way there is one fewer security risk since somebody would need to figure out both my username and my password to hack my blog, rather than just guessing the password. Dictionary attacks and such won’t work on my individual sites, but that could be a problem for somebody who doesn’t use secure passwords, and every little bit adds up and helps.
Blaine Moores last blog post..Would you share a win?
@Patrick, I don’t know enough about SEO to answer that question but considering that a domain is $10 a year, I don’t see the point in scrimping here.
I have tried to watch your videos but the links don’t work . All that happens is I go round and round seeing the same sets of links but no videos. I am trying to see how to use the latest word press 2.7 or 2.8 and set it up the way you did in the ebook. there is a diffeerent menue in the dash board. i can’t find blogroll . Do you have a working link to a video on the latest wordpress?
@Donald, search for my name in YouTube and you’ll find all of my videos there. The latest I did was for version 2.6. There will not be any further updates in the foreseable future.
