Are you new to blogging? Do you want to add some life to your blog posts with pictures? As they say, a picture says a thousand words, and that’s no less true on the Internet. In fact, a picture says more than that on the Internet, because it can do so many things for your business and your blog post:

1. Adds life to your posts
2. Can add credibility to your posts, blog, and business
3. Sometimes words don’t do things justice, and you just need to SHOW people
4. Allow you to show products that you would like to recommend to your readers
5. Allows you to show your readers who you are talking about, recommending, interviewing, etc.
6. And much more!

So, I’ve created a video to show you exactly how to add a page to your WordPress blog with pictures!

Enjoy!

I just found out how to make any self-hosted WordPress blog iPhone compatible. Now of course, you can view any website on the internet, but I’m talking about a format that is especially made for the iPhone, so that your blog is very easy to navigate when using the iPhone, and you don’t have to zoom in, zoom out, etc.

Here’s how to do it:

If you have a recent version of WordPress…

1. Log into your Admin area
2. Click on “Plugins” on the left
3. At the top of the page, click on the “Add new” button next to “Manage Plugins”
4. In the search field, type in “WPTouch iPhone Theme” and click the “Search Plugins” button
5. In the search results, click on the “Install” text link all the way to the right in the row for the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin
6. After it is installed, click “Activate”. If you don’t see the link to activate it, then click on “Plugins” on the left, scroll down the Plugins page, and click on the “Activate” text link next to the listing for the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin
7. Done!

If you don’t have a recent version of WordPress for your self-hosted blog (I highly suggest you update it so that you always have the latest version), then go here to download the “WPTouch iPhone Theme” plugin, and read the instructions on how to manually install it. It’s pretty easy to do. All you have to know pretty much is how to FTP a file or folder.

After you’re done, it should look like this:

If you have your own WordPress website/blog that is hosted on your own hosting account, and you can’t add tags, then give this a try…

I had the same problem, and I had to deactivate my plugins one by one (reactivating each one after it didn’t fix the problem) until I found the plugin that was causing the issue. For me, it was the Wordtube plugin. At the time of this blog post, I am running WordPress 2.9.2.

Does the title of your WordPress home page not serve you or your business? Is it helping or hurting your ranking in Google? Does it even make sense when you read it? No?

Then you’ve come to the right place. Here are two options that will allow you to change it.

Update: According to some of the comments of the readers, Option #1 may not work any longer. I originally posted this back in 2008. I’ve added a second option which definitely works (I recently did it), and it’s super easy to do.

Option #1

1. Log into your Administrator section (wp-admin)
2. Go to DESIGN > THEME EDITOR (or PRESENTATION > THEME EDITOR in older versions of WordPress)
3. On the RIGHT-HAND side where it says “[Your Theme's Name] theme files”, find header.php or just Header and open it (click on it)
4. Find this line:

5. Only change the word “Home” in two places: 1. To the right of “title=”, and 2. In between the brackets after that (e.g. >Home>)
6. Change them to whatever you want your blog’s home page to be titled

 
NOTE: If you want to be ranked high in Google and other search engines for the keywords that are related to your blog, then I highly suggest you put those keywords in your blog’s title. Just make sure that there is some order to the keywords, and that it makes sense. Do not put the keywords in the title randomly.

7. If you can’t save the change in Theme Editor, then either follow the link to The Codex beneath the window in which you are editing the file, or log into your server via FTP and change the “header.php” file in the folder of your current theme, which will be located in /public_html/wp-content/themes/yourcurrenttheme (“yourcurrenttheme” being the name of the theme you are currently using), if your WordPress install is in your root directory.

Option#2: Install the “All in One SEO” WordPress plugin

If Option#1 does not work for you, then simply install the WordPress plugin, All in One SEO, and follow the instructions below.

Instead of going to the plugin page above to install it, you can also just log into the Admin section of your blog, go to the DASHBOARD (which is where you should be when you first log in anyway), click on PLUGINS in the nav bar on the left, click on “Add new plugin” toward the top of the PLUGINS page, and then search for “All in One SEO” and install it.

After you install it, do this:

1. Go to your DASHBOARD in the admin section of WordPress
2. Scroll down to SETTINGS in the navigation bar on the left
3. If you don’t see the different SETTINGS options listed below the word, “SETTINGS,” in the nav bar on the left, then click on the arrowhead to the right of the word SETTINGS in the nav bar to expand the list of SETTINGS OPTIONS
4. Click on “All in One SEO” under SETTINGS in the nav bar on the left
5. Once on the “All in One SEO” plugin page, scroll down past the ads, and look for “Home Title”
6. Whatever you want to change the name of your home page to, type it in there, and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Update Options.”

 
NOTE: Again, as I stated above, you want to make sure you include the most popular and relevant keywords to your business in the title of your homepage, as Google rates the words that are in the title of your home page VERY highly when deciding the ranking of your blog in its search results. Choose wisely, and make sure you put your keywords in an order that makes sense. Don’t just randomly list the keywords in your home page title. Make a phrase out of them that makes sense.

Once you do that, you should be good to go! Open up your blog home page in Firefox and look at the very top of the browser. You should see your new home page title there!

SEO TIP

Once you update your blog’s home page title, you need to tell Google about it so you don’t have to wait for Google’s bots to crawl your site to see the update. Simply go here and enter the URL of your blog’s homepage to speed up the process (e.g. http://www.yourblog.com; be sure and include the “http://”):

Submit the URL of your blog to Google here.
