Same with the others. Go for Wordpress. The classic 5-minute installation is the truth. Templates? More than you need. The one I use now is Suffusion. It has a lot of room for modification.

This is the part that has always intrigued me. Myself, I have never used Photoshop. So what exactly is that that Photoshop can do which GIMP cannot do? If it's something significant, I will give Photoshop a try.

I am not exactly clear about your problem. Does your site show up in the Google search results? What do you mean by "just has a description of my site"? I mean what more do you expect Google to show in the search results? I am using Yoast and I haven't found anything missing yet. So give Yoast a...

If you are really looking for shared hosting under 2usd, I suggest you go and lurk in WebHostingTalk. There are new offers there every day. Only snag is these offers are usually time-limited and they don't appear even on the provider's site. I know because I have got a few good deals there...

Say, that's a good idea. So how much do they give you in ad money? Is it enough to get anything going at all?

Yes, that's what I am talking about. There are many different plugins which can do, more or less, the same thing but I found, by trial and error, that this one works on my sites. Yes, you can add all kinds of things to it but those options are found in the pro version. That's why I bought the...

A common element on all my sites is the sidebar. I usually put it on the right. Very often I have two right sidebars. I have looked at many themes in Wordpress and I find that the sidebar is a very common feature.

I am trying something which seems to improve the bounce rate on my site. It's called Quick Notice bar. There's a free version available. With this, you can setup up a bar at the top of the page with a message to click to get somewhere else on your site. I use the pro version and I can put the...

Now I am using Windows 8 and it keeps on trying to get me to use Bing. I get around this by pinning Google search as a tab. Then I just go to the Google pinned tab to do my searching.

I believe most affiliate programs give you a text link which you can add to your email. However you need to have a large email database to get started on such a campaign. Maybe you should start a site and give away something for free but to download it, the visitor has to give his email address...

Actually I was using Bluefish because I was using Debian and I couldn't find Notepad++ for Debian. However, now I am back using Windows 8 because of some technical reasons, I have installed Notepad++. Now I will have a chance to find out why so many people are in favor of using Notepad++.

Not really sure how this works. What I do know is that I have a domain name which are made up of common words. However when you search for all the three words, at the same time, in my domain name, my site will be at the top of the page. Is that how Google Whack works?

I have found a free host that is actually working. Perhaps this is because they have only very few slots available for free. I am not sure if there are any left but you can try your luck at free2host.co.uk.

goDaddy? I only know about their practice as a domain registrar. However if their webhosting practice is anything like their domain registration, then I wouldn't touch them even with a ten-foot pole. So goDaddy is definitely not on my list of web hosts. I cannot which are the best, though. I...

I have very little idea about coding. However I have played around with images and I have some ideas about how to make your site load faster as far as images are concerned. The first thing to do is to decide on the smallest size that's acceptable. Make it a thumbnail so that your visitor can see...

If you are using Wordpress, I recommend installing Quick Cache. I have tried the other popular plugins like W3 Super Cache but for simplicity of use, Quick Cache is the best. Another thing you should do is pre-process your images to the right size and resolution before you load them into your...

Wikipedia is my first resource when I am doing research on anything. Since I am checking out something everyday, that means I use Wikipedia everyday. Not all the information is the best I can find but most of it is useful.

I first started a blog about Hairless Pussies and Three-Foot Men. The hairless pussies were actually Sphynx cats which are born without fur. And the three-foot men is a solution of the global problem of over-population and famine.

Legal as in not being charged with a crime? Well, if you put it that way, then blackhat SEO is legal albeit marginally so. Legal as in legitimate? No way. Blackhat by definition is not legitimate. So if you are concerned about the long-term reputation of your site, leave blackhat SEO to the...

Fiverr awesome for SEO? I am not really sure about that. I have an SEO account. When I look at the gigs related to gigs, I see a lot of stuff about giving you 10,000 backlinks for 5usd or something equally fantastic. Doesn't look to me like legitimate methods are used.
