Creating Eye-Popping Custom Wordpress Blogs

How times a day do you run across somebody's blog when you are web-surfing and ask yourself, "how did they DO that!?" You see the beautiful wordpress header graphics, the custom weblog setup, the individualized administrator names, the custom wordpress category names and all those other bells and whistles that make the site look so good compared to your plain vanilla straight from wordpress blog.

A wordpress blog is easy to set up right from your website's control panel. Once you have it set up, it is easy to use to update your site's content. Best of all, it is free. But, if you are a computer-dunce like me, it is almost impossible to imagine doing anything with the site beyond just making posts and managing comments. Fortunately, I found an incredibly inexpensive e-book called SITES THAT SOAR! that I use to customize my wordpress blogs to make them look like I paid a professional web designer thousands of dollars to set them up for me.

SITES THAT SOAR! was written by an artist who wanted her website to look good, but didn't want to pay out the nose to have someone else do it for her. So, she set up a basic wordpress blog and then spent days and days scouring the internet for resources to help her customize her site. She found what works and what doesnt't work and then she took the time to organize her notes into an easy to read e-book and made it available to everyone who wants a great looking website that is easy to use and that ranks high in the search engines.

Wordpress is an incredibly flexible product, and there is a vast amount of free advice out there for using it, but until now it has never been all brought together into one easy to use guide that a non-geek can understand and use.

SITES THAT SOAR! leads you step by step through the wordpress setup and customizing process, so you can:
# Install a customizable magazine style theme (skin) to make your site unique.
# Modify your wordpress header graphic for your own personal branding.
# Change your wordpress navigation bar to fit your own needs.
# Do a few simple changes for wordpress search engine optimization.
# Enable the placement of photographs and other images inside your articles.
# Use wordpress and custom plugins for special functions.
# Set up the wordpress sidebar the way you want it.
# And, much, much more . . .

If you sit down with SITES THAT SOAR! and use it to set up your first blog, you can finish the whole process in less than a day, instead of spending weeks scouring the internet trying to figure things out for yourself. After your first blog, you will cut the time for each new one more and more until you will be able to get a new wordpress blog based website up and running in just a couple of hours from start to finish.
