63 Comments on Rain Blogs or WordPress? Wrong question! A solution & REsources...
Lisa... thx, I try to keep my sites/blogs looking clean. I love hot graphics but it's only a showcase for the content. Both have to work well together.
Kate... re "favorites" wow, cool. ;-) When I helped Diane fix/redesign her blog after a really bad experience she had with another company, I also created a new theme & graphics so she'd have the custom look she wanted. Thx for the nice comment/feedback. Much appreciated!
Jane... the reality of being online is everything matters. Top quality content to get/keep interest, SEO to be found and a great presentation. Missing any one of those will have a negative effect on everything else we do.
Marti, I get it and just sent you an e-mail....I need Geek and Glam!!! I will be gone all day but will look for your response tonight.... :)
Marti,
I read Gary Vee's article and it's an eye-opener. It really highlights what draws people to certain blogs, in this case wine, a definite pleasure source. What's happening to the Habs?
marti... I think I can add my «grain de sel» to those testimonials. I had both my website and blog entirely designed (with original graphics, themes, wall paper, etc.) by marti and it was the best business decision I ever made. And yes, everything has to be there... technically and visually speaking. My sites have a real HOT look yet they're sober and elegant, easy to navigate through... thanks to you marti, my biz is booming! ;) You're top notch (and the best!)...
Jane... hi again, I just saw your email and sent you a reply! ;-)
Esko... don't even ask about the Habs, they suck so bad right now it's not worth watching.
Lyne... hi and thx, will add your comment to my references page. ;-)
Marti - It's like talking to the computer guy who came in to fix my PC today - he said the power source something and the hard drive thingy - I'm going yep yep yep, still haven't a clue. It you say it's good ... that's great by me!
Lisa... I understand how you feel, I hear that all the time but trust me, you'll be able to follow my WordPress series. I'm specialize in talking tech in plain English. Even if you don't try this yourself it's worth just learning the "whys of Wordpress". Later...
marti, I miss so mahy of these. I'll catch up maybe Sunday when i will get some time. I know you always pick out the best.
Ok I jumped on Twitter today and I think you did a tweet about No one owns social media. Oh my, I cliecked Michele Maulkin with a smart comment. Then when back and I think it was YOU, how embarrising.
Thanks Marti, Wow alot of time and effort in this post. I will spend days now reading the links and trying to improve EVERYTHING!
Missy... not a problem re the tweet, I'll have to go back and see what I posted, today was kind of a blur. ;-)
Monique... I don't post often so I try to make each one count. ;-)
I don't like to admit that I am technologically challenged on this site, I never thought I would say those words, so this post comes as a relief!!!!
Heather... trust me, a lot of people are in the same boat. I get emails about this stuff all the time. ;-)
Marti, I can't wait to hear what you have got to say about learning wordpress. I have been wanting to get on board, but just don't get it.
Troy... learning WordPress is fairly easy, if you're already blogging most posting works the same. My series will cover setting up WP on a self hosted platform so you're in total control and can customize it without limits.
My webmasters are rebuilding my entire website on a wordpress platform because they did not originally put me on a content management system. I do have a wordpress blog right now. So am I suppossed to blog on that and then copy and paste those blogs into active rain? I am really confused about how to streamline everything.
I wish i would have found you sooner, because they are taking forever, AND i am the first for them to integrate the IDX solution, ect on a wordpress blog.
Jessica... hi, nice to meet you. For flexibility in use, customization and pure SEO love, WordPress is the way to go. I design over 90% of my projects on the WP platform. Sorry to hear your guys are taking so long tho. That's another part of the equation.
But how do I connect wordpress and active rain? Do i have to do everything twice?
Jessica... WordPress and ActiveRain are 2 different blog platforms, they don't connect. You can add links to either one leading people to another blog but it's like having 2 different websites.
So it is just an administrative pain for me? I have a readership on wordpress, but am new to active rain. i was going to take content from my website and turn it into blogs for activerain. Is this a good strategy. Do I need to think about active rain in terms of SEO as well?
Jessica... hi, re "I have a readership on wordpress... i was going to take content from my website and turn it into blogs for activerain"...
I don't think there is an option right now on ActiveRain to import content from another blog. You'll have to ask the AR people to be sure.
Re "Do I need to think about active rain in terms of SEO as well?"...
If you want your content to rank high and be found on search engines SEO is important everywhere on the web.
