Understand The Pros And Cons Of Free WordPress Themes

There are lots of discussion about free WordPress themes and whether they are a good solution for your website. Opinions differ, but the truth is that it all depends on your website and what you wish to achieve. Small personal blogs or starter websites may benefit from a free WP theme because it is a quick and inexpensive way to setup your website. Complex corporate websites will often do better with a premium theme.

What is very important for free WordPress themes is to understand their limitations and to accept them. Chances are that a free theme won't offer many premium features, but perhaps that's not what you need at the moment. Another important thing to keep in mind is security. It's important to download free WP themes from reliable sources, such as WordPress.org free theme directory (http://wordpress.org/themes/).

Best Things About Free WordPress Themes

There are certain benefits to using free WordPress themes, especially when it comes to personal blogs and websites. Even small businesses can benefit from such a theme, especially if they're only starting out. Here are some of the best things about free WordPress themes:

• Price. The main benefit of free WP themes is their price. They are free of cost so you can easily download them. If you are ready to accept that free themes won't be able to offer all the powerful features paid themes can offer, you can do well with a free WP theme. Especially if you know that your website doesn't need premium features. In this situation, choosing a free theme is a reasonable option.
• Light admin panel & options. Free themes are often light with features and therefore easier to install, configure and use. This can be very useful for those who don't know much about coding and simply want to build and organize their website without much hassle.
• Easy customization. This is another advantage you get with less features and options. You will be able to customize your website quickly and easily. You may get only a few color schemes and two layout options. It may seem a bit limiting, but it's much easier to customize your website and test all the possibilities before you decide which one works the best.
• Experimentation. Since free themes are available free of charge, you can try many different themes without compromising your budget. All themes, especially premium ones, come with a demo, but sometimes it's good to know that you're not wasting your money if a theme fails to meet your expectations.
• Your content is in the focus. Free themes usually offer less features and options, thus bringing your content into focus. Not all free themes are minimalist and not all premium themes have complex designs, but chances are that a free theme will also be free of unnecessary features so your content will be in the focus.

You Get What You Pay for

At the same time, you get what you pay for. Free themes are often not the best solution, especially when it comes to complex corporate websites. There are some features that are worth paying for and free themes simply can't compete. Here are some of the main disadvantages of free WordPress themes:

• No support. With free themes, you are usually on your own. There is no customer or developer support, so you need to understand how to install, setup ad use a theme on your own (unless you can find someone to help you with this). When you have a website to run and organize, worrying about your theme and how it works is the last thing you need. The lack of support may pose a serious problem.
• No regular updates/bug fixes. Similar to the previous one. You can download a nice free theme today, but it may become useless if there is a bug. Also, chances are that there won't be regular updates so your free theme can get outdated pretty quickly.
• The theme is overused. Free themes, especially elegant ones with many handy features, get downloaded a lot. It means that many websites will use the same WP theme as you, which can make your website/blog less unique when it comes to design and functionality. This is why it's important to customize the theme according to your needs. That way, your website will be unique even if you choose to use a popular free theme.
• Potential malicious code. Hidden malicious code in free WP themes is one of the dangers you might face if you opt to use free themes. However, malicious code is not a defining characteristic of free themes – in fact, there are so many quality free themes out there. Rather than being a problem with free themes, it is a problem of unsafe websites offering those themes. This is why it's important to download free themes from reliable sources like the ones mentioned above.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Account Hacked By An Unemployed Web Developer

A Palestinian hacker took matters into his own hands late last week when he discovered a Facebook bug and was rebuffed by the company's official engineers.

Khalil Shreateh, a computer programmer in the West Bank, discovered a flaw that allowed him to post on anyone's wall on the site, even if that user had strict privacy settings. Shreateh initially submitted his find to Facebook's "white-hat" program, a system that lets benevolent computer hackers tell Facebook about security flaws. Facebook pays a minimum of $500 for each bug, as long as the hacker doesn't disclose the loophole before the company has time to address it.

But when the engineering team didn't seem to think the problem was real, Shreateh decided to prove that the bug he found did indeed exist. So, he simply posted on the private wall of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

As he tells it on his blog, Shreateh, who has limited proficiency in English, submitted details of the bug twice. He writes that he was told "I am sorry this is not a bug" by a Facebook engineer after the second notification.

That's when, for better or worse, Shreateh exploited the loophole to post a video on the Timeline of Sarah Goodin, one of Zuckerberg's college friends, and on Zuckerberg's page itself.

Minutes after the post on Zuckerberg's Timeline appeared, Facebook engineer Ola Okelola asked Shreateh to describe the exploit by email. Facebook briefly disabled Shreateh's account as a precaution while the loophole was patched on Thursday. Another member of Facebook's security wrote that the lack of complete information and Shreateh's limited English made responding to the request difficult.

We've reached out to Shreateh for comment. In response to the incident, Facebook pointed to an "official comment" posted on Hacker News, where engineer manager Matt Jones wrote that the company "should have pushed back asking for more details here."

But, Jones wrote, that doesn't mean Shreateh will be getting a reward for exposing the bug. By posting on the accounts of two people he wasn't friends with, Shreateh violated Facebook's rules -- disqualifying him from any bounty for the security flaw. Shreateh should have instead created test accounts to try out his discoveries, Jones wrote.

Are You A Mozart Or A Beethoven Type Of Blogger ?

Writing articles or Blog Posts is often tough work.. For everyone. And the funny thing is: the more simple an article looks, the more hard work it was for the writer ! As for most creative work there are most of the time two ways to approach this kind of work. 

As a kid I had six years long classical piano lessons. Besides learning to play the piano I also was interested in learning about all kinds of music related stuff such as the classical composers. It was then that I learned about guys like Beethoven and Mozart and that their approach of composing their music and symphonies was totally different.

Ludwig von Beethoven was a German composer who lived from 1770 till 1827 and he is seen as one of the most important and influential composers who shaped the music culture of the 19th century. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian composer who lived from 1756 till 1791. He invented a whole new musical concept in his time and had great influence on later composers such as Beethoven.

Beethoven -V- Mozart Creative Styles

When Beethoven had an assignment to compose a new symphony he most of the time walked around with the general idea in his head, played with several ideas in his head but did not write anything down. Then the evening before he had his deadline for delivering his new symphony, he went out to dinner and when he came home, he wrote the whole symphony in one go.

When Mozart on the other hand got an assignment for writing a new symphony, he had an opposite way of working. He sat down, wrote something, tried it out for himself on the clavecimbel and then threw it away. After which he wrote something the whole thing again on a new way, tried it out and again threw it away. After doing this process for a couple of days, the whole room was full of pieces of paper which were crumbled and thrown away. This was of course the time when there were no computers with composer software. And then finally when he had written down version xx of the symphony, Mozart was finally satisfied and delivered his masterpiece.

You can draw a parallel with system development methodologies. Traditionally you had the "waterfall approach" where each phase in system development followed its predecessor like water falling down a waterfall, so that you can never go back to the previous phase. This is more a Beethoven approach. Later we got more short cycled system development methodologies like Rapid Application Development or Scrum, where you can easily go back to previous phases by cycling through them. This is more like a Mozart approach.

Opposite ways of working

The same approach you see with writers also and of course also with writers of articles and blog posts. You have writers who are more like Beethoven. They have a very structured way of working. After the first Idea, they do the necessary Research, Structure the whole story, Write the story, Design the layout of the story and finally Publish the story or article.

Mozart type of writers on the other hand are doing research, structuring and writing in a more iterative way of working. Between the Idea-phase and the Publish-phase they iterate the Research-Structure-Write-Design phase a couple of times. Each iteration delivers a more refined article. They proceed iterating until they are satisfied with their article.

Personally I'm more a Mozart kind of guy, although I admire Beethoven types, because of their structuredness. It's all a matter of personality of course. There is no good or bad way; there is only a way which suits you best! Therefore it is good to understand what kind of person you are, so you can adopt the best way of working for you and know at the same time what the pitfalls are.
I have not done research in this field, but my estimation is that most people have a Mozart-like way of working. While I'm very interested in this, I have a question later on for you!

Advantages and pitfalls

For a Mozart kind of Blogger there is the advantage of incorporating new insights during the process into the Research, Structure and Writing phase, because with each new iteration you not only know more on the subject, but also know what examples suits best. Pitfall for this kind of working is to start writing too soon, while the preparation and thinking-through is not yet properly done. Advise for when you're a Mozart-type of Blogger: try to postpone the writing phase and put more time in the thinking phase.

For Beethoven kind of Bloggers there is the advantage of having a more clear structure and having a more efficient way of working and planning. They most of the time also know that they will deliver before deadline without any stress. The pitfall is that there is no room for spontaneity throwing in new insights, examples or side paths.

Is there a combination of Mozart-type and Beethoven-type of Blogging possible? Of course! But this will take self-discipline to push yourself outside your current way of working and also a helicopter view on your writing process that you know at all times where you are and why you are doing what you are doing.

What type of Blogger are you?

I'm very curious if my estimation that most of us are working on a Mozart kind of way, is correct, so let me know what kind of Blogger you are and if you are satisfied with it!

Essentials of Logo Design & A Few Inspirations

Logo is defined as an identifying statement, that can be textual or may contain images. So your logo can be text based or an image or a combination of both. Your company will be recognized all over the world by your logo. It is the very first thing that your clients will see about your business and in fact it is the first thing most clients will see even before seeing your products. So it goes without saying that you should take utmost care while choosing one for you.
A logo should be the representative of your company, take a look at the Amazon’s logo. It may look one of the simplest ones that you have ever seen but it conveys a simple but effective message to their users. The orange arrow starts from A and ends at Z, which means that Amazon sells everything from A to Z. Another message that it conveys is the smile comes on the face of the users after using Amazon’s products.

If you want to design an effective logo then you will have to some simple rules. Talking about simple, the first rule is the simplicity itself. A simple logo can easily be recognized and such a design allows the logo to be versatile and memorable. A good logo features something unique without being overdrawn.

Memorability is as important as the principle of simplicity. An effective logo design is one that should be easily memorable and you can achieve this by having a simple yet effective logo. Take the example of McDonald’s logo, it is simple but yet it is memorable making it an effective logo.

Another property that an effective logo should have is that it should be timeless, it should endure the ages. The best example one can find of such logo design is that of Coca Cola. Their logo has not changed a bit since their first arrival in 1890’s while the Pepsi’s logo has changed at least 10 times during the same period.

Your logo should be able to work across many mediums and still remain effective. Versatility is a must have property if you want to design a really effective logo. You may need to use your logo in a number of ways, it can be printed in one color, you may need it reduced to the size of a postage stamp or enlarged to the size of a billboard. So your logo should be versatile enough to meet all these needs.
What the best logo designers recommend for this purpose is designing the logo first in the plain black and white format. And then if it looks good in this form you can decide on the color scheme as the colors can distract you from the main design element.
And the last but surely not the least important property that your logo design should have is that it must be appropriate. If you are designing a log for a law firm and you are using childish fonts and color scheme then surely it is not appropriate.

Making it appropriate does not necessarily mean that your logo needs to show what your company sells or provide. Take a look at the logos of any of the major organizations of the world and most of them have logos that does not show any thing regarding the company. Nokia don’t have a cell phone in their logo and Ford don’t have a car in theirs.
In the end I will repeat what I said in the beginning, a logo is an identifying statement, it is what your users or clients identify your company with. Keep it simple, memorable, timeless, versatile and appropriate and your logo will become effective. Here are few examples of beautiful and inspiring logs.

Basic SEO Techniques for Web Designers

Working as a freelance web designer has its charms. You get complete freedom in your work, it allows you to escape the confines of the 9-5 office routine and you can develop your creativity within the comfort of your home. But with all this freelancing also brings in some harsh realities. Like you will not have any support structure that a professional web designer can expect from his or her agency and you will have to earn your own projects unlike the designers working for agencies where this task is handled by the marketing department. So to survive in the freelancing world you will not only require unique web design skills and a flair for design but also should know the basic SEO so that you don’t make the mistakes that can potentially ruin the chances of your site ranking high and block your path to success.

No doubt your creativity and knowledge of the latest trends and colours can and will win you clients but if you make your website SEO friendly by making simple modifications like we have mentioned below you can raise the profile of your work and increase the traffic to your site which will result in more clients.

Balancing Design with SEO

By following the SEO technical rules you can improve the ranking position of your website but you will still need to bring a little heart and soul to your site. It is the design of your site that will form the first impression of your services to clients so getting the right style for your site is the most important factor.

But before integrating high quality graphics you should take in to account the effect that these designs will have on your SEO performance.

URL Structure

Your website’s URL structure should be organized and keyword optimized. It should always reflect the content of the page. Categorizing the content of the site within URL structure will not only help the visitor of your site as it will give them an idea of what kind of content will appear on the page but it will also explain the layout of your site to the Google search robots that will result in the improvement of the crawling of your page.

Internal Linking Strategy

Making the pages of the same category link to each other will enable the search robots of search engines to crawl similar content pages with ease. For example if you link all the pages regarding logo design with each other then it will allow any link juice created by back links to be shared out amongst these similar content pages.

Optimize the Anchor Text

You should optimize the anchor text for your internal, external and back links. Try using specific keywords that you want your site to rank highly for within these anchor texts. This will increase the ranking of your website for these keywords as the search robots can identify the content of your site through the anchor text in external, internal and back links.

Avoid Using Excessive Flash Graphics

Although fancy Flash graphics may increase the visible appeal of your site but the Google search robots cannot effectively read the Flash program. To make your site SEO friendly try to stick to using HTML and CSS. Using images as links instead of text can make processing by search robots a little difficult so avoid this as well.

Keyword Optimized Your Images with Alt Tags

As a freelance web designer you must include images as part of your portfolio to showcase your skills to your clients, however these images should always have keyword optimized Alt Tags.

Try Avoiding Splash Pages

Greeting your visitors with a splash page with fancy graphic and a notice saying Enter Website or whatever can be a great opportunity to create an impressive and stylistic webpage. But the Google search robots will index this splash page as your homepage rather than the actual homepage.

And most of these splash pages use Flash and as said earlier avoid it at all cost, instead try using latest developments concerning HTML 5.

Essential Tips For Creating An Effective Business Website

Many “brick and mortar” small businesses are choosing to have a website in order to establish their presence on the Internet. Having an online presence is a great way of getting an edge over competitors in your industry – it allows you to tap into a whole new stream of prospective customers who are searching for your products or services on the Internet.
The barriers to entry when creating a business website are low. However, if you do decide to create an online presence for your organization, make sure that you create a website that enhances rather than detracts from the customer’s perceptions.
Here are some essential tips for creating a good website for your business:

Company Brand

Make sure that your website is in alignment with your company brand. If you sell physical goods and services through your shop front, keep in mind that your website is the equivalent of a online showroom. You are showcasing your business on the internet to prospective customers, so make sure that your website evokes a style and image congruent with your business branding.

Menu Bar

Your website should use a menu bar that makes it easy for visitors to find what they are looking for. Keep it clean and simple – make sure you include the essential categories such as an About page that explains your company’s mission to your prospective customers, a category for information about your products and services, and a Contact Us page so customers can make enquiries. Try to avoid clutter on your website – don’t make your website look crowded with non-essential information.

Navigability

A good way to test your website’s navigability is to ask a friend who has never seen the site to visit it. Observe where they first go when they start to navigate around your website. Ask them for feedback on their experience of visiting your website – both good and bad. And take note of any problems that they encountered whilst surfing your website, and make sure that you get these fixed.

Make Life Easy for the Search Engines

Along with providing useful information for your customers, make sure that your website is properly set up so that the search engines can find it. A site map is one feature that you can add to your website – it provides a road map for the search engines to find all the pages on your website as well as providing visitors with another way to navigate around your website. Site maps are especially useful for larger, more complex websites, which can be confusing for customers to find their way around.

Call to Action

When visitors arrive at your website, consider giving them a “call to action”. A common call to action is to get your visitors to subscribe to your company email newsletter, via an opt in form. Subscribers will then receive a periodic email newsletter alerting them to new products, sales on special items, or the latest news about your company.
Your website is the virtual shop front for your business. With the continuing growth of the Internet customer base, it has never been more important to make a good impression on prospective customers and make the experience of visiting your website a pleasant one – a well designed website will help attract and retain more satisfied online customers!

5 Massive Ways To Market Your Blog Content Effectively

Blog content are the power source of any blog in the blogosphere. If you take a look at the top blogs online, they aren’t topping the search engines for their main keywords just because they overly did SEO little too well, but it’s because they invested a huge amount of their time writing up and publishing epic posts whose value cannot be matched to any similar post out there.

Having said that, it’s imperative to have content that adds value on one’s blog, not only that, it’s also important to know how to market it in other for the search engines to know that the contents are of high value.

So how exactly do you market your blog content in other for it to go viral ? Which talisman is currently working at the moment?

Below are 5 sure ways which you can use to market your blog contents like a professional-

Engage With The Influencers On Twitter

You should always do this each time you write up an epic post. There is and must be a guru online who has quite a large following on Twitter who is quite interested on a particular niche you write on. So when this type of personality reads your post and ends up sharing them to his followers, that’s more exposure, more traffic and links - free links - to your blog content.

This is how to get them to retweet your blog contents to their insanely huge amount of followers. Now, go through that guru’s blog; find out the new post which he has just recently written, once you’ve done that, write up an elongated epic post of that topic.

After writing, tweet it and make sure to tag the guru in the tweet and also explain a little about the post in the tweet to him. Believe me, this always works, try it and see traffic pump straight to your blog content.

Make Your Blog Contents Extremely Shareable

Another way to market your blog content is to make sure the contents in question is shareable. As we all know, people online don’t really share or promote low-quality blog posts to their friends or followers. They believe in quality content, posts that answer a dire problem in the blogosphere -That’s the type of post they share.

So when you write up content in a nonchalant manner - not even caring whether the post will solve a need or not - it becomes a post which people will hardly share.

That’s why I had to put this in one of the ways to market your blog content; because if you write up wack post, then people will hardly share your content at all - that’s the hard fact.

Nevertheless, go on to write up good content and people will share it; when they share your content, exposure will come into play, leaving your content very much marketed to diverse people online.

Guest Post On Blogs Maximally

This strategy is still the best way to market your blog content today. Let me show you two significant things that guest posting on other blogs will do for your blog content.

i. It Will Send More Links To Each Individual Posts. Links are one of the most important metric which search engines uses to rank blog content higher in their search rankings. Guest posts will help you attract inbound links to your blog posts.

This means, the more you guest post, the more links you get thrown to your blog contents; and the more traffic and links you get from your guest post on those blogs, the higher you climb the search engines rankings for those posts topics, which will of course inevitably market your blog’s posts to a huge amount of people.

ii. Guest Post Will Help Market Your Blog to a New Audience. That’s just the fact and why it’s this popular amongst bloggers in the blogosphere. When you guest post, one third of the audience will get to know you that day, and may even turn loyal readers of your blog when they visit and find out you have unique posts.

Of course, this is to your advantage, as you’re getting links and also new blog readers, it will promote your blog up the search engine ranking, and also turn those readers to loyal readers who might end-up buying anything you promote and also share any content you write on.

So, like I once said, guest posting is one of the ways to keep marketing your blog contents and also attract links and traffic at same time. Leverage this strategy and you’ll get to see your content be more interactive and lively on the long run.

Sharing The Content With Your Email List

This is also one of the most effective ways to really market your blog posts out there on the internet. The most effective way to receive social shares always comes from your list. Your email list contains people who are very passionate about your content; so it will do well if you send your latest posts that direction; since they’re usually the ones who share your contents more, they buy eBooks and products you endorse more than other people, they also comment on your blog’s latest posts more than any other set of people.

So you see? It’s very realistic for you to want to always share your contents to your blog’s email list. If you’re yet to start building a list for your blog, then you should start immediately using these fantastic auto-responders on the internet-

# GetResponse.com (offers first 30 days - free)
# Aweber.com
# Mailchimp.com

Get started and grow your list up to a staggering amount. 

Market Your Blog Content Through Bookmarking Sites

It’s quite simple and doesn’t require a long process in other to master the act of bookmarking a site. To market your blog contents using this method, first write up the blog content, then proceed and register with as many bookmarking sites as possible.

After that, add your site to any of those websites and let the traffic flow, this traffic will bring with it a lot of people that will share your contents and also subscribe to your blog.

Below are some of the best bookmarking that you can leverage right now -

Most bloggers understand the value of WordPress. It can be used free of charge, and it can be used for personal as well as commercial websites and blogs.
