What’s that you are saying. You’re not alone when I get asked that.

Think of a white bread sandwich -

Bread – lay down a piece of dissovable fabric

Filling No.1 – Spread out unspun fibers in one direction (wool, cotton, silk etc)

Filling No.2 – Spread out more unspun fibers in the other direction.

Fillings No.3, 4, 5.. – Spread on any other textiles you like, other fibersribbon, glitter lace etc. (There are two criteria are this – one it must stand up to any temperate of water and  the second you must be able to sew it on a sewing machine).

Bread – top off with another layer of dissovable fabric.

Pin together in all directions, starting from the middle and work your way out to the outside.

Sew, sew, sew and wiz-sew all over and around, up and down, horizontal any direction you want to go on sewing machine, keeping layers as flat as possible.

Put in very hot water and using wooden spoon stir around until the fabric has dissolved. Few seconds is all it takes.

Straight away put into cold water, this stops the fabric shrinking and felting too much.

Stretch and hang out to dry.

Here’s a close up of ‘Earth’.  Enjoy!

Enjoy.

According to current estimates, more than 200 million websites use WordPress to publish their blogs. It is open source and can be used by anyone. No wonder people around the world are using it to publish blogs and get traffic to their sites.

As humans we are obsessed with change – for a good! Therefore with the increase in the software’s popularity, it became essential to introduce the idea of themes in the blogs. Needless to say, the themes in the blogs enhance its visual appeal and will undoubtedly attract more visitors than a simple blog page. It is a proven fact that humans are attracted more to visual changes than any other thing.

Why go for Free WordPress themes?

As a starter, definitely wouldn’t want to spend a bomb on using themes for your blog.  Rather, you would concentrate more on the quality of the articles you’re posting. Therefore the free themes are for you. Moreover, using free themes will give you an edge over your other counterparts who have recently started blogging. Give your readers something to look forward to rather than just simply reading your articles on a simple white and bland background.

There are many sites offering free WordPress themes, but there’s a warning. Most of these self-proclaimed ‘free theme’ sites are mainly marketing gimmicks and might affect your computer by installing a spyware or a virus automatically. Therefore it is important for you to look for trusted sites; for a hint, consult your fellow bloggers who have been using free themes.

Premium WordPress Themes

If you want to take your blog appeal several notches over, it is time for you to go premium. Though not suggested for new users it is mainly for the seasoned users who have mastered the art of publishing on WordPress. Premium themes should be used because they offer custom theme solutions for your type of blog. For example, if you’re writing on a book review – the ideal theme would be a book in the background with similar fonts. This will undoubtedly increase the curiosity in your blog and your will get more hits.

As the type suggests, the themes come at a premium. Though it doesn’t boast of a variety like the free themes, it has some quality themes that will ensure that you stay ahead of the pack. Their number is growing by the day and exceeds the quality of the free ones by several notches. If you’re looking to attract more traffic and give a relevant outlook to your blog and website, premium themes are the way to go for.

More recently, the craze for self-signatures and avatars, premium themes have also become a way to express one’s free self and put a stamp on their individuality.
Keep it crisp, short and attractive with WordPress themes.

I know it’s really easy to just insert a bit of code and let Google take care of serving up appropriate ads.

But the resulting income can be very disappointing.

In some niches, the payout can be as little as one or two cents per click.

And you really do need a lot of “one cents clicks” to make a decent income!

So what can you do about it?

I’m sure you don’t want the hassle of redesigning your entire website and trying to find other ways to monetize it.

You want something that just “slots in” to replace your existing ad units and gives you a better income.

I’ve just discovered a brand new tool called Ad Unit Magic that will automatically replace all the Adsense ads on your website with replacement ad units that offer payouts of up to $100 per visitor….

You have decided that you want a blog! But where do you start? Most people who want to put a blog don’t realize that there are two ways to have a blog hosted on the Internet. Free or purchased hosting.

Free web hosting for blogs is using on a blogging platform like wordpress.com or blogger.com. Both of these platforms have a simple sign-up procedure and after filling in a few blanks you have got yourself a blog. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages with free blogs, the major one being you don’t actually own your blog or the content, the free web hosting company does. As you are putting your content on their platform you have to abide by their rules. As the hosting is free you also have to put up with ads that are on either the top or bottom of your site and these ads might not be appropriate for your website.

Purchased web hosting is where you pay a monthly fee. This can be as low at $4.95. There are many hosting firms on the Internet wanting your business so it does pay to do some research first. When you first sign up with a hosting company generally you get your first domain name for free. There are many advantages to purchasing your web hosting, the major ones being, your own your content, you can automate your blog, you can put what you want on it, and you get 24/7 help from the company. These factors are vital when considering creating a website.

With either the free or purchased web hosting you get both the front-end and back-end of your site. The front-end is what is seen by your viewer and the back-end is where you personalize your site, add your content, pictures and videos. Both are simple and easy to use.

If you have purchased your web hosting there is one extra step that you need to take to set up a blog and that is by installing in through fantastico via your control panel. This is a easy and simple to do.

When researching your web hosting to purchase there are several things that you need to consider and look for. These are unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwith, free site builder with free templates, easy control panel, money back guarantee, 99.9% uptime guarantee and 24/7/365 technical support.

The web hosting company that has performed extremely well is Hostgator. I have used and am still using Hostgator for at least 5 years and have found them to be very reliable. When I have had a question I login on to the chat, ask the question and get the answer. How good is that?

To find out more about web hosting go to Hostgator .
