    When you decide to start a website or a blog using WordPress, you should be choosing a WordPress theme which reflects your persona and your business perspective. Only then will your blog give a true representation of what you want it to show.

    As a WordPress web designer, I spend time presenting the many different types of WordPress themes out on the market to clients. The client has to make a selection on the them they want that best suits their message to their audience.

    Here are some great sites for themes:

    1 Shopping Cart vs. WP e-Commerce – which one should you use?

    As a virtual assistant specializing in 1 Shopping Cart, I can tell you, 1 Shopping Cart is considered one of the top e-Commerce programs available. WordPress is one of the most popular ways to create a company website because of its ease of use and content management system.

    The ability to integrate 1 Shopping Cart with WordPress enables online stores to create a seamless way to have a professional website. Then WordPress created its own software, WP e-Commerce, to enable its users to have a free plug-in shopping cart program. Is this free service a better option than using 1 Shopping Cart integration?

    WP e-Commerce

    WP e-Commerce offers fully customizable tools so that the website conforms to the owner’s brand and desired features. Using HTML and CSS coding enables web programmers to make the changes store owners want, including headers, footers, and fonts.

    The program is designed to have fewer pages between the original purchase and final checkout, keeping customer frustration to a minimum.

  • Structuring Your Articles

    Structuring Your Articles

    Writing articles for publication is not at all difficult or time-consuming, once you get a sense for what article directories are looking for. How are you structuring your articles?

    While each article directory may be a little different, in general they want unique content, with good spelling and grammar, with a minimum of 250-300 words. Personally, I think it’s always a good idea to aim for a nice, solid 400 word article so you can really build a relationship with your reader.

    Structuring Your Articles

    With this in mind, there are some simple ways for structuring your articles. A good general rule when writing an article is to follow these three steps:

    1. Tell them what you’re going to tell them (this is the introduction).
    2. Tell them (the body).
    3. Tell them what you told them (the conclusion).

    Formatting

    Now that you’ve got an idea of structure, here are some formats that make for quick article writing:
