In this episode of Building a Website Pro, we get to the core of WordPress plugins. With over 27,000+ plugins in the WordPress.org database alone (and growing), it’s easy to get lost in analysis paralysis in terms of what to actually install in your WordPress website. I cut through the clutter answering (hopefully most) of your burning plugin questions as well as share the essential plugins I recommend (and even a few “non-essential” ones I really appreciate).
More specifically, in this session you’ll learn:
Top 10 plugins I install on Nearly Every WordPress Website (Hint: They’re all free!)
ESSENTIALS
LESSER-ESSENTIALS (but still in my top ten… or should I say “teven”)
The Pro Pointer for this show included a brief discussion on the free Web service called WorkFlowy. It’s so simple but it is truly powerful. This service helps you create bulleted to-do lists, but it does it in such a seamless way that you can practically have your whole life in one sheet… but organized. I now keep it in an open tab in my Web browser now. And it’s great for my podcasting notes to use for recording. Check out WorkFlowy now. If you go through this link, you’ll get an extra 250 items capacity (on top of your free 500 items per month)… and I 250 extra too! Awesome. Did I mention it’s free? You can upgrade, but free is enough for me.

In this episode of the Building a Website Pro podcast, we continue our journey together in building a website by discussing how to log in to your WordPress website. I also give a thorough overview of all the tabs and buttons in the WordPress administration area and the WordPress dashboard. This is your main control panel you will use to make all the changes and updates to your website.
More specifically, in this session you’ll find out about:
Bookmark your WordPress login link for easy access to your website! Okay, that may be basic, but it’s REALLY helpful! But always remember the link too so you can access your WordPress admin area when you’re away from your computer. Remember it’s “YourWebsite.com/wp-admin”

In this second episode of the Building a Website Pro podcast, I start our journey together in building a website. And where does that journey begin? It begins with being certain with yourself what the purpose is for your website and then choosing a domain name (e.g. YourWebsiteDomain.com).
You might love kitty cats and decide to start a website about them… but what is your goal for that website? Will it just be a hobby website with a glutinous array of pictures of you with your cats? Are you building an eportfolio (electronic portfolio) website that can serve as an online resume or vitae? Or are you building a website to raise money and find volunteers for a non-profit you are starting in Haiti? Regardless of the purpose, the important thing is to have one!
Once you know your website’s purpose, you can more aptly decide how to name it! And I walk through all the things you need to know to choose the best domain that’s right for you.
More specifically, in this session you’ll find out about:
Long Tail Pro – Awesome tool for fast and thorough keyword research. Find the exact phrases your audience is typing into Google when they search for what you offer on your website.
