New Blog Theme and Upgrade

Well, I finally did it, I changed the blog and I upgraded to the beta version 2.5 of Wordpress. So far, I really like the interface, it’s very different and took a while to get used to it, but I like it. One great addition (I think it’s been in a few previous versions) is widgets.

Especially the sidebar widgets, no more downloading plugins, figuring out where to add the code and trying to make it work in the theme. With widgets it’s simple, upload the plugin and drag the widget wherever you want it to show in the sidebar and you’re done. Very nice.

The change in interface also makes it simple to edit and change posts, manage comments, categories, tags, etc… Everything can be managed from one page, instead of bouncing around to each individual section like in the earlier versions of Wordpress.

Here’s a couple of screen shots of the admin interface.

Self Appointed Experts Make Me Laugh

I came across a website yesterday and it was so bad it made me understand why Internet Marketing gets a bad reputation at times. This person gave himself the title of Video Expert and it’s funny because he knows nothing about video. In fact, the videos look like they were created with a cheap webcam or the video camera on a digital camera. The lighting is horrendous, he even used the chroma key function and it looks ridiculous.

So, why my rant on this so called expert? Well I’ve seen many people do it and this particular person has been doing it for about a year, he’s been faking it and will never make it. He constantly makes claims of being an expert and I’ve yet to see him back it up.

Why am I qualified to criticize this so called video expert? I’ll give you some background. I’ve been working with computers and video equipment for over 15 years, our company owns over $30,000 worth of video and audio equipment, our company was the first Seminar company involved in Internet Marketing to broadcast a 3 day seminar Live over the Internet. I think that gives me a little credibility to criticize this ‘expert’.

I won’t name the product but it just launched and has ‘cash machine’ in the name. He even shows screen shots of his bank account, which is bogus and lame. His videos have a few thousand hits each… wow, stop the presses.

Ok, there is a point to this rant. If you want to learn from a YouTube Video Expert, visit Charles Trippy’s You Tube Channel, it’s funny because Charles has almost as many subscribers as this expert has views on his videos. Charles has over 1.2 million views on his videos not a mere 55 thousand.. that’s the difference between someone who is doing it and someone who is faking it. I’m so confident that Charles is a YouTube Video Expert and his product is 100 times better than this cash machine thing, that I’m posting his link here sans affiliate link, that’s right a straight link to his product. Viral Video Fever.

Limited Edition PLR Packages – Help My Son Kyle

We have put together another one of our Limited PLR Packages, This time 100% of the funds are going to my Son’s Senior Project. Some of you may remember the Firesale we had last year to raise money to buy his Bronco and start his Senior Project. (you can see the full details of the project here – www.kylelovell.com)

Kyle is ready to finish up his project and the last phase of fundraising is here, so we brainstormed and came up with a new idea. We are launching another Limited PLR Package sale with a twist. Check out the site here – >>> Limited Edition PLR Package Sale

Kyle has put alot into this project and I am very proud of what he’s done so far. He’s raised enough money to purchase his Bronco, new tires, new brakes, new suspension, and several pieces of the interior. The final phase is the body work and the rest of the interior and he will complete the project and graduate from High School. Then it’s off to Purdue University to pursue a career in Mechanical Engineering. This has been a big eye opener for Kyle and I’ve watched him mature through the whole process.

We decided we would release this Limited PLR Package and give everyone a chance to earn some money while helping Kyle with his project. This is a true win-win situation and we appreciate everyone that’s supported this project from the start.

Take a look at the packages here – >>> PLR Packages Here
