I am someone who finds it hard to think about what to write about, I am needing to add more pages to my site. I start to think about ideas and then soon run into trouble with no

Could the niche you chose possibly be Not the right niche for you? Like they are always teaching here is to find something that you are deeply passionate about. That way should Never run out of ideas for something you truly love.

I started out with cameras just because I thought they would sell well. They did okay but, I was completely bored by them and had a very hard time writing about them.

Now, give me a Horse or Dog niche and i could talk endlessly about both. Hope this helps and there is No problem in changing your niche.

This is true. When you merge your passion with your work everything flows smoother.

Thank you all for your ideas they are much appreciated.

I find that brainstorming works best by just writing your thoughts. Even a list works. Then you can create a structure or theme for your pages. Sometimes even looking at pictures (daydreaming) can jog your brain into gear. Works for me.

You may find many ideas just go to search and inscibe How to Write, thanks.

Hi Gaye, may I suggest that you go to view my profile/My Blogs and you will see I wrote about a tool called ubersuggest . I use it to help me with article topics.

Two suggestions: learn about your subject by going on Amazon and reading the pages that they give you for free and once you know you want to write even more about your specific, buy one of those very inexpensive Kindles (us Cloud Reader for free) and teach yourself even more.

I hear you. I'm that way too. But, I find the more you do it the easier it gets.

Yes I am finding that after I took a break I was able to get back into writing.

Gaye...how about a new blog on your website targeting the unemployed, or those discouraged with their jobs. Write about the new unemployment figures released and how a online business could even help with part-time income? Just a suggestion.

Great suggestion. Thanks Michael

Sometimes it helps to brainstorm and write down just a couple of words in reference of the topic you want to write about. Later you can organize these words so that they make sense and then conect them together writing naturally. I hope this helps you a little bit. You can do it, just keep your faith! Good luck! Marian

Yes I usually have notes to look back on sometimes I just need to take a break and get and rethink things through.

Hey Gaye. If your budget will stretch to a couple of books, in this case I can whole heartedly recommend "31 Days to Finding Your Blogging Mojo" http://amzn.com/B005MGUFX4 and "Sticky Readers" http://amzn.com/B0055IMOIS :) Rich. x

I know what you mean. I am one that says something in one sentence, end of story. I have found out something that helps me, which may be stretching it to some, but if I have someone write an article for me about what I want to talk about, I end up redoing what they done with my own words. They basically start the ball then I can go ahead and get in on the discussion. That may sound rediculous to some but it helps me.

Thanks Rich, Will look into getting a copy.

Can the plug in for the website be made a bit smaller I have put it on my website and it doesn't all fit in, it is only showing half of the "w" in Build it now

Hey Gaye, if it only needs a minor tweak to fit, you can always reduce width="600" to width="580" in the code. R. x

I've looked at it and the page width is narrow. Gaye, don't forget to reduce the height in the same proportion to the width or you'll get tall, skinny text.

Thanks Rich. That was easy and saved me changing my theme.

Hi again Gaye. An answer it on the way, but firstly to clarify, where are you trying to put the banner link?

Hi Paul it is the plug in for SiteRubix that was in the information that Kyle had in his email Official SiteRubix.com Launch.

If you're trying to put it into a post I'm surprised that is to big, as I'm sure from memory that it's only about 600 pixels wide. I could have worked out if I'd read the title of your post duh...

Let me get off the phone and lookin on a laptop. Back soon.

I've had a look at the frame size and it's 600 pixels wide, which is narrower than most pages by quite some way. I've found your attempt on your site and it's much bigger than on mine, so did you use the code under My Stats>Siterubix? That's the one with your affiliate number and which fits the site.

Yes I got it from my Stats>Siterubix I tried deleting it and re installing it but still came out the same size.

I was in pages writing my page I got my banner code and pasted code into the text page before going back to the visual page.

Hi Paul, I have decided to change my theme I have noticed that there are a few different themes that the banner doesn't quiet fit.

darn paul got in here too quick LOL.....

Which plugin?

Take a break man!!!!

This is a break! Normally I'm working. It's all the current Mrs Dean's fault for making me think I'm useless.

Gaye obviously means the "siterubix" embed code. *sigh* :) R. x

I have put in key words & url and comes back and says not found any ideas

It's possible you are putting in too many words at the same time. Try just putting in 2-5 word phrases at the most. See if that is getting better results for you.

Hi Pat, Yes I have tried that but still not found. Thanks

Hmmmm... What are your keywords? Let me check them out on my Jaaxy. Maybe there's something wrong with your connection.

Pat

You can send them in a private message if you want.

If I do I check on the key words they come up by themselves just not the with the url. my site that is .com comes up this one is .org and doesn't. I have messaged Kyle just waithing to hear back from him. Thanks Pat

I hope Kyle has some answers for you.

Pat

Hey Gaye, that happens now and then. I've had that happen, when you type in a different keyword, it should find you something. I really like Jaaxy, it's bbn working great for me. I have worked with quite a few different keywork tools like that and I like Jaaxy by far the best. It's fast and gives you acurate data,

Hope you are doing awesome here at WA.

Hi John yes I like Jaaxy too and this is the first time this has happened,I not sure what it is while drop Kyle a message. Thanks for your comments.

I had to take a week off as hubby had heart surgery (everything went well) now I am back home I am looking forward in getting back into things here.

Glad to have you back and active with us. Heart surgery is always scary. Went through that with my dad and my oldest brother too. Very Happy to hear it went well!

Thanks Meredith, yes it is scary just glad it is over and it went well. Now too get down to business and get things finished here.

Hi Everybody I have just noticed when go to my website it goes to the page that I have set as my static page Getting Started but if I then go to a different page on my site and

If you delete and decide to recreate a page or post with the same title, you MUST empty the trash in the Page or Post listing before doing so, otherwise the permalink will remain in existence and cause such errors. If you've emptied the trash then you can edit the permalink in a page or post to match the original one. :) You should also avoid naming an image the exact title of a Page or Post as this can also cause conflicts. Rich.

Thank you Rich I have now deleted my trash and problem solved. Another lesson learnt. Gaye

You're most welcome! :) Rich.

I think you have sorted out. If not take direct help from @rich.

Thanks

You haven't created any Posts. You have created all pages. Your getting started page is set to your blogroll but there isn't one. Create a post. It will appear on this page.

Thank you yes I will have to get on to it thinking of writing for blog pages takes me out of my comfort zone, surprising myself each day.

Hi,

I did some poking around and glanced at your source code. Nothing is found for Getting-started-2 that's the title of the page of the page giving the 404 error. I entered into the search bar http://successonlineforall.com/getting-started and the page came up as you wanted.

Please check your permalink by going to Settings and clicking on Permalinks making sure that the Custom Structure has /%postname% in the box to it's right.

Please double check you pages. Take a look in your dashboard and click on all pages. You may have 2 versions of the same post - (getting-started and getting-started-2) and getting-started-2 is what is being picked up.

Hope this helps. I know this can get confusing.

Jim

Thanks I had made my getting started page and when I went in to put in my headings I was having so much trouble with strange things happening I remade the page and delete the first page that I had made. Now to go into my settings and check things out. Thank you.

Hi psmtk,

Nice site, so neat!

I have just noticed on the first load that the page is actually calling this:
http://successonlineforall.com/getting-started, which I believe as what you have set
as your Front page.

Going back to your front page after moving to other pages it is calling this: http://successonlineforall.com/getting-started-2

Just thinking if the page/post: http://successonlineforall.com/getting-started-2 might have been renamed or removed.

All the best!

Nice site! But cant help sorry.

Your site is great! can you get to your front page, and edit it?

Thank you. Yes I have edited it, to put my H2 & H3 headings in that's when I checked my changes and noticed when I went back to the getting started page I was getting the 404 error

what is the name of your page? I put mine in wrong the first time

http://successonlineforall.com

I got the same results when I visited your site. When I did a search for the Getting Started page it came right up! URL problems are all I can think of but one of the 'greats' should be around to help you soon.

Thanks for looking yes it is very frustrating
