<p>When you setup your blog there a few standard tasks that you should always do.</p>
<p>After optimising your settings the next thing is to install your plugins, unfortunately this can be a very tedious process but thankfully the video below shows you a way to automate this mundane task.</p>
<a id="wpfp_8e8f19dedd564775cae0b5e186c24549" style="width:480px; height:360px;" class="flowplayer_container player plain"></a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unfortunately you will still have to personalise each of the plugins but when you have a file containing these settings then this tasks becomes simple and available to be outsourced. If this interests you then my process maps containing this file is available here&#8230;<a href="http://businessprocessmaps.net/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/businessprocessmaps.net/?referer=');">business process maps</a></p>
<p>Which of course leaves you to focus on the tasks that excite you.</p>

<p>This is a really useful plugin in that allows non English readers to enjoy your blog in their natural language.</p>
<p>It has a few settings and of these I would stick to the following.</p>
<p>Use On Fly (jquery) as the translation method, I found that Google translate does not work correctly on my blackberry phone, the screen is heavily corrupted, however using On Fly the new language is displayed instantly, plus this option comes with a choice of nation flags.</p>
<p>Do a little research in Google Analytics and determine which countries your visitors are coming from, then set these countries as your defaults, a simple but nice touch&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-451"></span></p>
<p>Now a word of caution with this plugin, although it is a plugin, it will not work straight away. You need to setup your options, then copy the widget code into a text box in your side bar.</p>
<p>The remainder of this post is in Hindi, I have tested this and the plug in will not do a double translate from the menu, although you will be prompted with a pop up banner giving you the option to translate the post. This works on this mixed language post.</p>
<p>एक क्षेत्र में विशेषज्ञ होने के नाते एक ब्लॉग आसान, लोकप्रिय राय राज्यों चल रहा है. हालांकि इस क्षेत्र की जांच करने के बाद, मैंने पाया है कि विशेषज्ञ के लिए किसी और की तुलना में आला करने के लिए नए संघर्ष की संभावना है. वहाँ और यहाँ इस शीर्ष 3 रहे हैं के लिए कई कारण हैं कि संघर्ष के एक विशेषज्ञ मुठभेड़ हो सकता है.</p>
<p>यदि आप पहले से ही एक आला में एक विशेषज्ञ हैं, तो यह आपके लिए बहुत आसान है कि पूर्व ज्ञान पर आधारित सामग्री बनाने के लिए है. लेकिन यह भी मामला है कि आप नीचे अपनी नई शुरुआत और अपने बाजार का औसत अनुभव को समायोजित विशेषज्ञता पानी हो सकता है.</p>
<p>यह समझ बनाने के लिए कुछ है कि आप एक विशेषज्ञ के रूप में आप पहले से ही करने के लिए सभी के साथ कई पृष्ठों को भरने के लिए विशेषज्ञता है पर एक ब्लॉग शुरू होगा अपने ज्ञान की कोशिश की और परीक्षण किया गया. लेकिन वहाँ एक समस्या यह है कि इस दृष्टिकोण, के साथ आता है, जिस पर अपनी यात्रा के बिंदु आप अपने ब्लॉग शुरू कर रहे है?. क्या आप अपने पेशेवर कैरियर और वहाँ से प्रगति में एक बड़ी घटना के लिए प्रतीक्षा या आप बहुत शुरू और अपनी यात्रा पर लोगों को शिक्षित करने के लिए वापस नहीं है.</p>
<p>यदि आप अपनी वर्तमान स्थिति में शुरू करने का फैसला है, तो इसे प्रभावी ढंग से एक व्यापार ब्लॉग हो जाता है. में यह तुम जितना आला शब्दजाल के रूप में आप की तरह, इस है क्योंकि आपके पाठकों के सबसे अपने उद्योग में शामिल हो जाएगा के लिए कारण का उपयोग कर सकते, लेकिन अपने ब्लॉग उनके लिए एक उत्सुक पढ़ने से ज्यादा कुछ नहीं के लिए कर सकते हैं.</p>
<p>इस प्रकार एक समझौता समाधान की जरूरत है पाया जा करने के लिए, और एक विकल्प के संदर्भ में है और एक पृष्ठ पर अपने प्रारंभिक वर्षों. फिर आप महत्वपूर्ण क्षणों और यू बदल जाता है कि उन प्रारंभिक वर्षों के दौरान हुआ है पर पदों लेखन पर ध्यान केंद्रित कर सकते हैं.</p>
<p>अगर आप इस दृष्टिकोण से अभी भी आश्वस्त नहीं हैं, अपने साथियों क्या कर रहे हैं पर एक नज़र रखना.</p>
<p>वहाँ डिजाइन और आय नियुक्ति सवालों की एक बहुत कुछ करने के जवाब हो सकता है जब आप एक ब्लॉग की स्थापना कर रहे हैं, इन एक लंबे समय लेने के लिए हल कर सकते हैं और अपने विपणन गतिविधियों में कोई कमी. इन मुद्दों को हल कर रहे हैं अक्सर trully कभी नहीं, लेखक के रूप में बस पर जाना चाहता है और लग रहा है कि कुछ ठीक नहीं है के साथ रहना सीखता है. आप तत्वों है कि अपने प्रतियोगिता के लिए काम कर रहे हैं का उपयोग करके डिजाइन चरण शॉर्टकट, के बारे में क्यों वे उन्हें का उपयोग कर रहे हैं और प्रत्येक तत्व अनुकूलित करने के लिए अपने ब्लॉग सूट सोच सकते हैं.</p>
<p>क्या अपने ब्लॉग है, जो दृष्टिकोण है इष्ट बहुमत के लिए सामान्य प्रारंभिक बिंदु है? करने के लिए विपरीत दृष्टिकोण लेने के लिए डर हो सकता है अगर कोई और नहीं कर रहा है मत करो. अगर यह काम करता है तो आप एक अद्वितीय स्थिति से बाजार पर कब्जा है, लेकिन अगर इस दृष्टिकोण से आप कैसे, तुम हमेशा एक सीखने के अनुभव और अपने ब्लॉग के लिए और अधिक सामग्री के रूप में इस का उपयोग कर सकते हैं उम्मीद काम नहीं किया.</p>
<p>यदि आप बहुत भाग्यशाली के लिए एक अनूठा विचार मिल रहे हैं. हमेशा बाजार पर विचार और 3 या 4 ब्लॉगर्स संपर्क करने की कोशिश विचारशील प्रश्न के बारे में क्यों वे इस विषय का उल्लेख नहीं किया है या कर रहे हैं इस सुविधा का उपयोग नहीं के साथ. अक्सर इस चूक के लिए एक बहुत अच्छा कारण है और उनके कारणों की जाँच करके, आप अपने आप को और अपनी टीम के समय और परेशानी का एक बहुत कुछ बचा सकता है.</p>
<p>एक बार जब आप डिजाइन और अपने ब्लॉग के उद्देश्य के साथ खुश हैं. आप अपने पृष्ठों पर दीर्घकालिक विज्ञापन भागीदारों परिचय, जैसा कि आप अब अपने ब्लॉग के उद्देश्य के भागीदार है कि आप अपने पाठकों के लिए लाभ प्रदान करेगा ले सकते हैं पता कर सकते हैं.</p>
<p>यदि आपके ब्लॉग के लिए दूसरों फिर मुद्रीकरण मॉडल को पढ़ाने के लिए एक कम से कम दखल देने से बहुत अगर यह एक ब्राउज़र से आगंतुकों खरीदार कन्वर्ट करने के लिए बनाया गया था ब्लॉग पर होगा बनाया गया है. जब लोगों को सीख रहे हैं वे एक क्षेत्र है जहां वे सीखने के अनुभव पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने और कौशल के लिए पॉप अप, ऐडसेंस ब्लॉकों या बैनर चमकता माध्यम से अपने तरीके से लड़ने के लिए बिना दूर के रूप में जल्द से जल्द ले सकते हैं चाहता हूँ.</p>
<p>हालांकि बिक्री पैदा अपने ब्लॉग का मुख्य लक्ष्य होना चाहिए तो आप के रूप में बाजार केंद्रित के रूप में आप Checkout के मंच से पहले की तरह किया जा सकता है. एक बार अपने दर्शकों के लिए बिक्री को पूरा करने का फैसला किया है, यह बहुत स्पष्ट है कि आप उनसे क्या चाहता होना चाहिए. उन्हें कुछ नहीं &#8216;पर क्लिक भुगतान अब&#8217; विकल्प से विचलित होना चाहिए.</p>
<p>यह सब काफी सरल लेनदेन का 70% से अधिक अभी तक, लगता है इस बिंदु पर असफल. क्यों?क्योंकि बाजार के पीछे बैठता है और बहुत जल्दी आराम, आगंतुक बिक्री के पृष्ठ पर है और वहाँ कुछ भी नहीं है आप के लिए उन्हें मनाने कर सकते है. लेकिन वहाँ एक बहुत आप इस स्तर पर करने के लिए सुनिश्चित कर सकते है वे लेनदेन पूरा काफी आश्वस्त रहते हैं.</p>
<p>Checkout पृष्ठों की एक बहुत लोगों के लिए सफेद स्थान और उनके माउस चिह्न के विशाल क्षेत्रों को रोकने के लिए चारों ओर घूमना. यदि आप अपने आगंतुक के लिए भी लंबे समय के लिए यहाँ रहने की अनुमति देने का अवसर है, वे भूल सकते हैं क्यों वे यहाँ हैं! अपने ग्राहकों की मदद करने के लिए सुनिश्चित करना है कि पृष्ठ पर एक ही विकल्प है द्वारा भुगतान अब यह आखिरी कदम को पूरा करने की कार्रवाई पर केंद्रित रहेंगे</p>

<p>This Plugin will allow you to show a holding screen whilst you make changes to the layout of your blog. I have made a video that shows this in action as still photos would not really show it in action.</p>
<p>You can fully customise the message that appears on the screen and even add images and video to the screen if you so wish. Which actually could be a good idea if you knew the time you had allocated to the upgrade, simply pick a film that is a few minutes longer.</p>
<p>An update on this plugin, you can actually ad videos to the safety screen as well, thus you could actually drive traffic to this page and turn it into an event in itself.</p>

<p>A long stream of unformatted, unattractive and disengaging code that will most likely make people regret they ever asked for your feed.</p>
<p>Of course if they are using an RSS reader, such as FeedDemon, then they will only see this page once but as we both know first impressions last and could be the one thing that makes them change their mind.</p>
<p><span id="more-450"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://siobhanirle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/feedburner_feed.png"><img style="background-image: none; margin: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="feedburner_feed" src="http://siobhanirle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/feedburner_feed_thumb.png" alt="feedburner_feed" width="244" height="184" align="right" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Take a look at this RSS feed, this one looks more formatted, attractive and engaging than the default WordPress RSS feed we discussed above.</p>
<p>As you can see this now includes social proof, active links to the posts and highlights the ways to make reading this feed easier.</p>
<p>The solution for those that did not spot it in the image is the plugin for Google&#8217;s Feedburner service.</p>
<p>This allows you easily create beautiful RSS feeds with social proof and alternative delivery methods such as email built in.</p>
<p>If you are interested in getting this plugin for your blog, use the official link below</p>

<p><a href="http://www.commentluv.com?ref=clp-sales@ig248" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.commentluv.com?ref=clp-sales_ig248&amp;referer=');"><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" title="Check out The CommentLuv Plugin" src="http://cdn.commentluv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/commentluv_premium_125.gif" alt="The CommentLuv Plugin" width="125" height="125" /> </a>I spent far too long dithering over whether to get this plugin or not as I already used the free version and could not see the benefit in paying just to combine a number of plugins. If there was a site load benefit then I would be interested but when Andy highlighted all of the other features I was sold and knew I had to get this plugin.</p>
<p>I do not regret making that decision</p>
<p>But what of the speed, did that improve?</p>
<p>I was  unable to measure the difference in load time fairly due to there being far too many factors that influence this. I do not have a private and dedicated Internet connection in my town for just my use thus other residents in this house street and across the world will all play a factor in that timing.<span id="more-449"></span></p>
<p>When you install this it will look for plugins that it is replacing and prompt you to remove these first, I had to remove Comment Luv, GASP and Twitter Link comments. In all you are getting 8 plugins in total, all interlinked intelligently which will ensure they all work with you rather than against.</p>
<p>On the Setting page there are dedicated settings pages for the most obvious features, Comment Luv; Twitter Link; GASP and Keyword Name. 3 others are built into these options of these setting pages which just leaves Top Commentators which is controlled via its Widget settings.</p>
<p>If you are worried about breaking your blog, rest easy as Andy has included a reset button on each page.</p>
<p>The actual settings pages are well explained and laid out. The Luv settings page goes into detail about who gets Do Follow love from your site and why, I recommend you add your personality into these messages to help make their visit to your blog that bit more unique.</p>
<p>One feature you should not overlook on this page is the Info Panel, this will become ever more important as Google&#8217;s author tag structure matures, with this area you can promote yourself on the sites you have left comments on. For this to work you will of course have to leave really compelling comments that make people want to know more about you but as this is what you should be doing anyway then that should not add any extra work into your blog commentating routine.</p>
<p>Twitter Link provides plenty of options when it comes to the layout of the Twitter link.</p>
<p>GASP complements rather than replaces Akismet but in here you get to choose some pretty sophisticated spam prevention techniques from number of comment URL&#8217;s to validation of  Trackback addresses. These are all presented in a manner that does not make your visitor feel like they are trying to enter Fort Knox.</p>
<p>Keyword Name allows commentators to gain more exposure for their target keywords as long as they play by your rules. The main one being that they must have previous approved comments, the number of which you can determine, I have mine set at 3 and will not approve comments if someone is comment storming as that is not natural.</p>
<p>Comment storming, leaving multiple short and useless comments on a number of your posts within seconds of each other.</p>
<p>Top commentators Widget is another way to reward people for leaving comments as they get featured in your sidebar with an image and link back to their site. An interesting use for this could be during events such as blog comment challenges, as you can set the count start and duration timings thus you could actually set this as a commenting treasure hunt if you have several blogs.</p>
<p>Ultimately to get the most out of Comment Luv Premium you will need to experiment with it and allow your imagination to run free amongst the settings bur first you need to secure your own copy of this fantastic plugin by clicking the image below.</p>

<p>This plug in is an absolute must have in your blogging arsenal and the best part is that it comes free. The key to getting your blog found organically, that is via the search engines, is by focussing on at least one site keyword and using this where ever you can.</p>
<p>All in One SEO is positioned below each post and enhances your blogs post performance by allowing you to tell Google what to index this post for.</p>
<p>There is of course much more to WordPress SEO but in the case of this pack and your blog performance lets cover a couple of items.<span id="more-448"></span></p>
<p>Firstly the post tile should contain your target keyword, if that is not possible, using it in each post will make you blog really dull! Then add it to the permalink for the post, this is what the spiders see and only the most astute readers will notice this.</p>
<p>With the post title adjusted to enhance your blog performance then it is time to take a look at the post content and this is where LSI comes into play. This stands for Latent Semantic Indexing, still not clear, well what this means in a nutshell is using phrases that would naturally occur in a conversation surrounding your target keyword.</p>
<p>If you have not already guessed, I am targeting the performance of my blog with the keyword blog performance, that last section was a good example of LSI in practice. Take your keywords and mix them into various phrases such that you are not constantly saying the same thing all the way through your post, like a bad summer pop song.</p>
<p>With the body text taken care of it is now the turn of the All in One SEO pack to enhance your blogs performance, you can insert the target keyword into this title as this is for the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). With the description try and summarise the post whilst getting your target keyword and its LSI equivalent into the paragraph.</p>
<p>Finally the keywords will include of course your target keyword, I always add my name and the title of the post. If you do not want to become an SEO expert then this plugin is a good halfway house for bloggers who wish to enhance the performance of their blog.</p>
<p>If you want to improve the SERP performance of your blog then this is the plugin for you, <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/?referer=');">grab your copy here</a></p>

<p>Many people are scared of adding plugins to their blogs because of the consequences should the new addition corrupt their data and they lose all of their hard work.</p>
<p>I must admit that I am reluctant to test new plugins on one of my active blogs, this blog however was created specifically for my first guide on setting up an online business and thus makes an ideal test bed for suggested plugins.</p>
<p>Currently I have the following plug ins installed <p>Pluginlist will only be shown in article, not in overview ...</p> insert and all appears well. If have any plugins that you want testing then get in touch and I will run it on this blog.</p>
