    Website Help Please

    One of the easiest ways to build a website is to use a ready made Content Management System such as WordPress. It is not difficult to install and most web hosting services have the ability to install it with a few mouse clicks. Once it is installed you can add as many pages/posts as you like and...

    Website's, how much and who?

    I'd agree with the above, WordPress is a good solution for your venture. Here are some examples of themes (the look) that you could use http://collectionwordpressthemes.com/10-best-children-and-kids-wordpress-themes/. By the way, I have no affiliation or anything with that website, just did a...

    What to do Next!..

    Two thoughts on this, first learn some SEO yourself before jumping in hiring a service, that will give you the confidence to know that whomever you hire (if you do) actually knows what they are doing. http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo is a good start. Secondly, have you looked at ways to...

    Backing up my site

    Although a reasonable assumption, this is not good advice. The database does not hold images, plugin files, theme files etc. So a regular full backup is a much better option. It is also not a good idea to rely on your hosting service to do the backups, some are more thorough than others...

    E-Commerce in Africa with UK Businesses

    Rodney, I may be misunderstanding this but I'd be inclined to check the UK legal side of this. If a person orders from another website, and then you add your own service/delivery charges after the sale is complete, I suspect that you would be breaking an ecommerce law or two. Do this big...

    WP 3.7 auto updates

    My website auto-updated over night (3.7 to 3.7.1) and I've checked it, and all is good. As has been stated, it is only the core WP files that are updated, and a lot of those are to close security holes that have been exploited by hackers, so I can only see this as a good feature.

    How do I place Google AdSense ads on each of my blog posts?

    If you don't want to use a plugin, you can paste your adsense code anywhere in your posts, but you must do it in the Text tab of the post editor, NOT the Visual tab, and update your post without going back to the Visual tab.

    I know this is a month after you posted this, but did you get the answers you were looking for? The main thing to remember about SEO is that it is an ongoing thing. If you get page one ranking for your keywords, and say to yourself "I've got there now, so I don't need to do any more SEO", you'd...
