Going through the bootcamp... curious if there is an appealing blog post template to use (layout wise for how you write up your content) that is smart to use and will help with

You want one that's responsive so it will work for mobile and one that's fast to load. Typically these are the ones that are very lain, no flashy pictures and such.

You're a Premium member so you have thousands to choose from in Wordpress, you can check them out there.

Fast and responsive and nothing else really matters as your content is what makes conversions happen.

ROCK ON!

Thanks i have a responsive main site theme i use now. I was mainly talking about just a post content template like how kyle did with a template for reviews on the one step in bootcamp

I like two themes in WP - Creative Focus and Responsive.

I'm not sure if that helps but they both work well for me.

Okay so going through the bootcamp (regoing through it without skipping steps)... im not new to wordpress or anything, but

quick question, as I am not sure if I am misund

Both! By writing posts you are also writing pages. It is confusing!

check this training hope it helps you understand more and clarify everything :)

thanks for the article

Everything I already knew :)

but thanks for lending a hand

I am going through Bootcamp as well. The way I understand it is you would make main pages such as "Getting Started" "About Me" "Privacy Policy" etc.

Then for your content you would make posts. Such as A product review or how to would be a post and then that would get tagged under the categories you choose.

For example, my site is promoting WA so my review for WA would go under my "Reviews" category and a post about purchasing a domain would go under my "Building Your Website" category.

all of what you said makes sense...

what threw me off was the one step that you make a page for each category you decided to go with (3 pages) and then the next step kyle has you start working on those 3 pages and gives you an example of his build a website page on his site

Yeah, I had to go through that part twice but finally understood what I was supposed to do.

it's what he calls themed pages

Hi JK, as you build, you will want to move your posts over to other pages (if you are writing about scams then perhaps your 'scams' page (or however you wish to name it). I am still figuring that part out myself.

why is pretty links (the free version) not part of the basic account, starter member, blogs?

As then you could get the paid version at the premium level (allow you to clo

I think one reason might be that the few plugins that are part of the basic account are ones that are pretty much essential to any website, regardless of the niche and the user's experience. They also tend to be ones that are easy to pick up and use. I imagine that pretty links free doesn't apply to everyone. At the same point, WA has an emphasis on minimizing plugin numbers, so it makes sense to limit how many plugins are automatically provided.

I get your approach to it.

you can actually go into add new and search pretty links you can find it.

I guess I see it as an essential to any website due to tracking being right up there with seo which they have a plugin for.

lol but thats just me :)

Likely because it's another plugin that does have a resource cost and can slow down page load speeds. I use it, but some folks are fond of the Google shortener as it also tracks clicks and doesn't require a plugin.

When i had hosting I used it the free version doesn't cost anything and doesn't lag speed wise. The paid runs about the same way.

I'm not ready to upgrade to premium till after all the holidays, which sucks since can't even access the free version lol (later I can upload the paid that I own).

So was debating on bitly or google's... may go with google since I think bitly gets flagged sometimes as spam on sites... and i just want to track where my traffic is coming from etc. on share links outside of WA.

thanks for your reply :)
