The Curve

It's been an interesting four days on the learning curve. I've read lots, here and on WordPress, and I probably don't know anything yet. But I am ready to set up my first site on the press. This should be interesting. A big thank-you to everybody who said hello and has offered assistance, advice and encouragement. It has all been needed and appreciated. I expect I will have questions fairly soon.

I just thought I'd mention that it's OK to jump right into chat and ask questions, regardless of what else is going on in there. There is sometimes a "social" element chatting off topic, as some of us use it as the the office "water-cooler", a lifeline if like me you spend most of your day isolated with only a laptop for company. I guarantee no-one minds being interrupted to answer questions or help out. Best. Rich.

Hi Rich, I expect I will have questions as I delve into WordPress. The real questions, I think, will rise up about design, presentation and content. Time will tell.

Welcome!

There is a bit of an information overload when you first sign up. Don't panic! Follow the 10 day plan, if you then decide to become a member, follow the 30 day plan. That'll break up things nicely for you and you'll wrap your head around a fair amount of information along the way.

If you need any help, feel free to ask. Ty is a great guy too, he'll be able to help you loads as well!

Thanks Luke, I fully intend to sign on as a permanent member, so it's nice to know there's a "program guide" in play.

If you have questions please let me know, you can get me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tyarronjohnson or email johnson.ty@gmail.com

Once you become a full member you can PM me on the Forums here at WA.

Let me know how it goes =)

So far Ty, this is really awesome. I do need to progress to a place where assistance is not just necessary but wise to seek out. When it comes to how to present a site for affiliate purposes, what to say, link, arrange etc, I am totally new and will be looking for experienced counsel. I hope to have a "test build" site underway by this coming weekend.

There won't be any problem getting some advice and direction around here. There are many of us who are always happy to review a site and give our feedback.

Once you get to where you're adding content I would like to extend an invitation to join my Facebook group Writers Secret Society. It's really not very secret but basically when you publish something whether it's on your site or an article directory you can post the link in the group and many of the members will go social it and make comment.

This helps with ranking. Social signals and comments are a big factor and this group just gives us a bit of an edge. You just have to return the favor to others but there is no obligation to social anything if you don't like it.

Anyway don't worry about how exactly to present the site for now just get familiar with the functions of WordPress you and expect to make plenty of changes to the site before it's really ready.

Let me know if you need a good theme for the website I know a very nice free one.

Sounds good. To WordPress.

Speaking of WP I have a couple of training tutorials to get you started. Once you become a premium member I will recommend a really great Wabinar from Jay...he's the guy that does all the official WA WAbinars

The first like is one I wrote.
