Hi - I can access that site, it is up and running. If he has received a write ban, then he may well have been spamming other members, perhaps by sending links in Private Messages?

Is Hover over Text a bad thing in Google's eyes?
I wonder if they consider that as "invisible" or whit text, although its in a
<span title=" tag.
Any ideas
I´m not sure what you mean, but that I´m getting mad at is when I go to a page and it pops up things I have to delete Before I could entrance the page :)
It's Hover Over is not a pop-up. I may ask a question and to get the right answer you would have to hover over the text.
Nice to know John but I couldn't help here, let us know if you find out anything............Frank
They are very annoying. When ever I fun into one on a website I am checking out I RUN away and I am sure a lot of other people do also. Just my opinion
Tommy
I hear you my friend. I hate those info links as well. I was thinking as a way to ask a question and make the reader THINK about it before he gets to the point where I ask him to "hover" for the right answer. That would be only ONE and not on every post/page.
John
Hi John. Not sure what you are talking about. Hopefully one of the "techies" chime in. Will watch for an answer!
Hover over is:
The text you see is: Softwind
and looks like a link. When you put your mouse pointer on it a little box opens up and you see: How are you doing today?
That's a Hover over text

Anyone know how to sort category items or put them manually in the order I want?
To clarify: I have 4 categories. Right now they show in the order created
1-2-3-4
I want them to list as 4-3-1-2
(by the way the CAT are in the sidebar widget)
John
I am not sure I understand this, please provide me with more information or where I can find a Video Tutorial. Thanks
You can use a plugin like: order categories (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/order-categories/.) or make a change in the header.php file, you will find by googling a lot of answers to your question.
Hi John,
Can you tell me more. What interface are you referring to? When building the site?
Terenzia
My experience has been (with categories) is that after you create a list, they're auto sorted alphabetically. Not sure how you sort them in the order you want though - sorry!
don't know if you can sort them but you can organize them by parent categories if that will help https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/wordpress-101-video-5-tags-and-categories
Hi John.
You could use this plug-in - makes the categories drag and droppable into whatever order you like:

All the best, Mark

That should be quick. How many words should be on a page or post? I googled that and the so called experts seem not to agree. Some say to NOT more than 500, others suggest some
I stick around 250 a post and this works awesome for me. I save the 500 plus words for reviews or tutorials etc.....
You get a lot of opinions out here on how many words a post should be. The WA lessons says between 400 to 500 words, and if you look at the post on the first page of google most of them are around 500 words so that is what I do.
So I'm not sure that is correct about longer post getting ranked faster, in my opinion I don't see it, but I could be wrong.
No doubt, that a post having 1000 words will rank faster and better than that having 500 words. But as Adams said your post should be concise and to the point. If you can do it with 1000 words that would be perfect and if you can't then it is better to write just 500 words instead of writing 1000 of fluff.
Don't bore me with irrelevant facts. Use as many words as will keep me engaged. Usually that is less than 500.
You can very the length depending on the topic and how much content you can naturally write that provides value and makes sense. Target between 300-800 words.
Tell your story concisely and to the point. Why add extra fluff just to reach an arbitrary word count. When I read something, I want to "get it" in as little words as possible. Some of the things that I read are boring within a few paragraphs. How many words do you need to make the search engines happy? Who knows for sure? Write for your reader.
I think, it depends on how you can manage to express the idea and it is a matter of time and experience.
You will see for yourself after some time.
I usually write much more than 700 words not that I am aware of any rules, though. I just make sure I have substantial content.

While working on a page ("About Niches") for my website I did a lot of googling and at the same time thinking about a niche I could target later on. It can be difficult and ofte
I hope medicine is never obsolete, or else there goes "Plan B"... That being said, I think it could work. With proper branding and good marketing, you can do well. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.
It sounds as if it would work more locally, get to know florists, picture framers and of course funeral directors. Then integrate a type of search engine where the details of the deceased or the planners wishes can be tailored. I know of a service here called White Lady funerals that conduct female orientated services with even the coffin bearers being classily dressed women in white with nice hats. Each to their own there is a lot of variation in that market now and it's not as solemn and morose as it used to be!
I think John you are on the right track. A lot of people are now into cremation and need urns. Selling urns online could be profitable. Also inscriptions on plaques, condolences , picture frames, think outside the box. Attend a few local funerals to get an idea of what's out there. Funerals have changed over the years.
I know the casket business runs on great profits, but not really sure if things for dead people is a great market. There is a need for guidance, as long as you can find a way to monetize it!
I think rufat is spot on. Although you might provide a very informative website that would be helpful for people, I wouldn't know how to monetize it. Florists don't usually have affiliate programmes and I really can't think of a way you'd make money from your website.
