WordPress makes life easy when it comes to establishing a presence on the web popularized as the leading blog platform, WordPress as an application is expanding its own horizons and is a popular ecommerce platform in its own right.

As it is so simple to establishing a WordPress site, everyone is doing it, and everyone is making the same mistakes make sure you are someone and look at what you are doing with your WordPress site and see if you need to change some things around.

The Rookie Basics

There are two things which mark a WordPress site out as a rookie – firstly, make sure you use a login name which is associated with your site identity, i.e. not your own name! Secondly, change the default name for posting articles to the name of whoever you want associated with writing them and not admin. If you are the poster to the WordPress site, using your own name helps you gain more exposure but more importantly, it personalizes the site itself.

Create a Blogroll

Using a blogroll will help generate some link backs to your own site as well as providing a launch pad for your own traffics to navigate off to instead of simply drifting away from your website.

A blogroll can be created within WordPress by navigating Blogroll > Categories Link and completing the dialog box for the site you wish to to include on your blogroll. Complete for as many sites as you wish to include but try not to go mad, a lengthy blogroll is simply not helpful for users.

If you include a site on your blogroll, let that site webmaster know you have done so and ask for a reciprocal link.

Use Categories

The default for WordPress is Uncategorized, which looks like you don’t care about the posts and is also very bad for your Search Engine Optimization (SEO). You can create categories for your posts, which looks more professional or you can simply change the category title from Uncategorized to something else, such as Good Stuff to Know or whatever takes your fancy. Simply navigate over to Manage . Categories and following the dialog box instructions for renaming Uncategorized to something more meaningful.

Create a Meaningful Link Structure

When you post on WordPress, you will be able to create additional interest and goodwill at the same time by including good links. If you are working on a topic, it helps to use hyperlinks to reference people and sites within your content. This provides further information for readers and allows you to generate internal links to other pages of your site or to other websites you control. If you are linking to other sites, then you can ask them for a reciprocal link back to your site. Either way you are creating a more mature looking website newbie sites tend to have very little if any internal or external links.

By following and applying these three simple tips, you will transform your WordPress site from an everyone-style effort into a professional looking site which delivers more value for your traffic and is likely to be used far more.

How To Improve Your Attention To Detail Skills

Posted by editor On June - 29 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

The trouble is, sometimes we actually need to pay attention to details otherwise someone will slip something important past us.

I experienced this myself recently. As usual, I was a cheapskate on insurance and used one of the online services to get the best possible price. Trouble is, it was a bit too good to be true.

Either intentionally or unintentionally, I hadn’t selected the option for accidental damage to my home. I’d probably figured that it was big enough to stand up for itself.

That was until the roof leaked and water started pouring through the ceiling.

“Oh well, it happens, I’ll be covered for the leak even if I’m not covered for the roof repair.”
Or so I thought.

The insurers thought otherwise.

Buried in the small print of the policy was their definition of accidental damage:

“Sudden, unexpected and visible damage which has not been caused on purpose.”

Yikes!

That detail had escaped me – it’s a pretty much “catch all” wording that meant I would have to stump up for the inside roof repair as well as the main leak.

Next time, I’ll hopefully have learned how to pay more attention to detail and improve my skills in that area.

That was my weak spot. I’m probably not alone and my insurance company are probably quietly laughing behind my back at my lack of attention to detail skills.

So it’s probably worth taking a step back occasionally and looking at the things you do on auto-pilot without really thinking about them.

Most of the time, the details you’re ignoring are probably nothing to worry about.

But sometimes there’s a great big elephant hiding behind the detail that previously hasn’t worried you.

So take the time out to take a look at your attention to detail skills and work out where your weak spots are. Then do something about it before your attitude to these seemingly unimportant details comes back to haunt you.

My Workplace Wellness

. Stress has a great impact not only to your health and personal life but also to your workplace. So how can you improve your workplace wellbeing?

First and foremost, you need to identify the things that gives you stress not only on the workplace but also the things around you. Stress can be different from person to person. There are people who find stress while having a long drive to their office. Some people also find stress while talking to people they do not like. Basically, you have to know the things that give you stress and try to look for alternative means on how to counter this stress.

So how can you avoid stress from work pressure? There are times that you need to say NO on certain requests for work. If you are doing a lot of things and you already think that additional work can give you stress. Work pressure is one of the things that can reduce your workplace wellbeing. It is not too bad to say NO sometimes when additional work is given to you. This is one of the best ways to reduce stress on your work and improve your workplace wellbeing.

Aside from this, you also need to think about the things that will give you stress before you go to work. Like what is mentioned earlier, driving long hours to your workplace can give you stress. Some people also consider their early morning tasks as a kind of stress. Basically, even the stress that is not related to your work can affect your performance in your workplace. You have to keep in mind that your performance can be affected by stress so you need to identify all the stress factors that can affect you.

Another thing that you can do is to manage your time carefully. Most of the time, people feel stress when they are unable to finish tasks on their allotted time. It is very important that you pay attention on the things that you do to avoid stress. Rushing things will not do you any good so you have to manage your time carefully and do things on time to avoid work pressure.

Getting drunk intentionally seems to be a very English thing. The culture for many seems to center around the belief that how drunk you get is an indicator of how good a time you have had. For some, the measure of a good time revolves around how many text messages you have sent which necessitate an apology the next day.

This behavior is further endorsed, and some would say led, by certain celebrities. But this excessive drinking costs a very high price in the long run. Most people who pursue this type of lifestyle for a prolonged period of time neither look good nor feel good. Your health and your good looks are inevitably compromised.

Inevitably many people end up in rehab, some on more than one occasion. The drinking habit can prove hard to kick. This habit is part of your lifestyle, your culture and the way in which you communicate and fit in with others. And so to quit drinking, you also have to learn a new way of living and also communicating with your social network. It’s highly possible that you may feel like a social mis-fit.

Ironically, the reason why most people began drinking in this way was due to a desire to fit in, to do what the others are doing. It is rarely a love of the taste of alcohol that starts you upon this boozy life-style. The younger you were when you embarked upon this course of behavior, or accepted the tenet that “you have to fall over drunk to prove that you have had a good time” the more engrained in your personality and sense of self this habit will be.

In this aspect alcohol abuse is similar to any other habit. For example, the younger one is when starting smoking the more difficult it is to quit. Like stopping smoking, if you wish to quit your drinking habit, it is important to look deep inside your mind and identify the platform of thoughts and assumptions upon which the behavior and habit is built. The younger you were at the onset of the habit the deeper you have to dig.

These underlying assumptions have to be tackled and picked apart. Inevitably a habit is made up of many threads of thought and behavior, which have become entwined. This twine has to be unraveled and replaced by something stronger; otherwise you will be hanging onto your health and well being by a very thin thread.

When you decide to stop drinking, many people feel completely lost. Your very sense of self can come into question. You do not know quite what to do or say in social situations or indeed how to act. Something seems to be missing. It is therefore essential to do anything which you can to build your sense of self outside the realms of alcohol.

Confidence can be built in many ways, and the process can be accelerated with the help of self hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation (good for calming jangling nerves), which provides access to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious is the part of your mind where instinctive thoughts and behaviors are stored.

And so with hypnosis you can unpick those erroneous threads of thought and replace them with ones which are far stronger. You can build a solid sense of self, and firm feelings of self confidence, with a little guidance from hypnosis mp3 downloads specifically designed for this very task.

Choosing A Life Coach? 6 Things To Consider

Posted by editor On June - 27 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

I wouldn’t even be too keen on coaching somebody I knew vaguely, although this can be yield great results if done carefully and I don’t have too much personal information about the client beforehand.

As Life Coaching hits the main stream and more people are starting to see the huge advantages of working with their own Life Coach I thought I would take the time to give you some tips on how to choose a Life Coach that you will help you achieve whatever it is you want to achieve in your life.

1.    Experience – I know it’s a downer for anybody just embarking on a career as a Life Coach, but experience pretty much trumps any other metric you care to mention. Great Life Coaches are NOT born, they are made. And they are made by being exposed to all sorts of different client problems and situations and the having to deal with them. If you want somebody to earn their wings whilst working on you, that’s cool, but personally I wouldn’t want to work with a Life Coach that had less than 1,000 hours of client work and closer to 5,000 would be advisable.

2.    Training- Not far behind experience is training. The reason why I think experience is more important is because with  the best will in the world any training can only be of the ‘ideal world’ variety and unfortunately Life Coaching seldom happens  in an ideal world. Training is very cool for getting the basics down, but no amount of training will make up for doing the work with clients

3.    Listening & Questioning ability – If you are speaking with a perspective Life Coach and you can’t get a word in edgeways, run a mile! Equally, if he or she seems incapable of asking you an intelligent or thought provoking do not hire them. Questioning and then listening is at the core of great Life Coaching and if either are missing then it will probably be a frustrating experience for the client.

4.    Ongoing Training – Initial training is cool, ongoing training way cooler. Further education demonstrates a desire to keep improving and learning new skill sets. Just like you wouldn’t want a doctor that qualified in 1970 and hasn’t looked at a medical book since, you don’t want a Life Coach that thinks they know all they have to know.

5.    Credibility – This is somewhat tied in to experience part, but goes further than that. Does the Life Coach also do public speaking? Do they write a blog? Have they have books or papers published? Are they seen as an expert in their field? None of this is paramount but it certainly helps ease any worries you may have.

6.    Do you like them? – Seriously, this seems like a no-brainer, but it isn’t. I have spoken with a number of clients that had worked with Life Coaches who they didn’t even like! Life Coaching is a close working relationship and you need to like as well as respect your coach if you want to get the most out of the whole process.

Whereas I can’t guarantee Life Coaching will be brilliant for you, I can guarantee that if you follow these guidelines there is an exponentially greater probability. Good luck!

7 Ways to Build Up Your Self-Confidence

Posted by editor On June - 23 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

When we are feeling confident we sense that we could take on the world, that we could achieve anything and be anyone that we desire. It’s an intoxicatingly delerious feeling, and not only does it make us feel good, but it propels us to bigger and better things the more we have it.

When you are low on self-confidence you perform poorly, you feel like the world is getting the best of you, making you feel powerless and useless. You obsess about how others feel or think about you, keeping you bound in your bubble, unwilling and scared witless to try anything new.

It’s a terrible feeling. So how do we build the self-confidence to get us past feeling this way?

Having low self-confidence is a debilitating condition to be in, but the good news is that in this article below I am going to outline some quick fixes that you can use to improve your self-confidence, as well as talk about a powerful tool that can help you build life-long self-confidence anytime you want.

1. Presentation. How we present ourselves to the world is often a startlingly accurate reflection of how we are feeling about ourselves. Appearance is not everything, but being well groomed and well presented will always give you that little kick of feeling empowered and important; so take advantage of it and use it as much as you can.

2. Stand Up Straight and Be Heard. Don’t bow your head when walking past people. “Keep your chin up” isn’t just a handy adage to throw at people when someone is having a rough day. When you’re sitting at the table, don’t slouch over your plate. Sit up straight, clear your throat and let the world hear you loud and clear.

self-confidence3. Write Out Three Awesome Things You Have Accomplished. Sometimes we need to simply remember that we are in fact awesome by noting our past achievements. When was the last time you truly impressed yourself? That you achieved something truly remarkable? Jot it down, and note how you felt afterwards.

4. Kill the Negative Chatter with Self-Talk. How many times have you told yourself today that you can’t do something? That you don’t deserve it? That you will never achieve your dreams? You might not even be aware of the negative influence you are having on yourself. Of the thousands of thoughts we have everyday, left unchecked many of them turn to doubt, slowly festering into a strong belief that we are not worthy, not deserving, and not allowed to achieve grand success.

5. Preperation is Everything. Unshakable self-confidence can be found when we take the time to prepare for the events in our lives. It gives us a feverish sense of power and control over our own detinies. Remember how you felt bullet-proof when you studied properly before a big exam in school? You waltzed into that classroom not full of anxiety, but with a belly full of determination and excitement, because you knew that you were going to own that test. Having an action plan or a goal plan can give you the preperation necessary to go after the things you want.

self-confidence6. Master the Art of Winning Many Small Battles. Achieving great things doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t occur in one fell swoop. We don’t build great wealth in one great surge, nor to we lose twenty pounds without first setting foot into the gym. Take note of where you are now, where you want to be, and figure out what the very first step of your journey looks like. Then do it. Self-confidence is like compound interest; with each small goal achieved and invested, it grows and grows.

7. Ultimate Self-Confidence Comes in Achievement. A lack of self-confidence can always be found in the meek, the person who refuses to act out of a constant sensation of fear, who stays on the sidelines, preferring to wait for “someday” to act than to get in the game of life. When we act on the things we want, we build the self-confidence needed to propel us to the next level of accomplishment. Set some goals — start modestly if you must — and act now.
