Back in the first decade of this century, a system called CubeCart was developed that was pretty revolutionary at the time. It worked really well for those wanting to build a simple-to-use but comprehensive eCommerce website. Over the years it grew and changed, with V3 being the first popular CubeCart version. It is now up […]
1 – Content, Content, Content! Adding new material to your internet sites is essential to getting social traffic, organic traffic and encouraging your visitors to purchase. In a WordPress blog site you can include short articles in a structured method (with categories), you can arrange them to appear at a date in the future and […]
There is a cool little thing that has been added to WordPress – snow! Now (well, after 1 December anyway) you can add snow to your WordPress site. Have a look in Settings->General in your admin menu. Scroll right now to the bottom. Do you see this? Yes? Cool. Tick it then click Save Changes […]
One question I am often asked by beginner users of WordPress is What is the difference between a Page and a Post. A post is like a newspaper. They have a date, and appear (usually) with the latest one first. They should be used for information that might become outdated. A page, however, is for […]

I wanted to write some instructions for beginners to WordPress to explain how to add a plugin. Note that this applies to self-hosted WordPress sites like those I build for my clients, not the free ones on WordPress.com. I figure I will be wanting to refer to this often, so I am making it a […]

To speed up WordPress was becoming a priority! Since I managed to get the load time down from 13.9 seconds to 3 seconds, […]
