Solostream, a fantastic company who produces quality WordPress Themes just announced a new theme named WP-Bold. WP-Bold is an attractive, clean and modern WordPress theme. It offers multiple featured content sliders and home page layouts, it’s well-suited for an online magazine, news site, community site or any other site that offers a lot posts with images. But don’t just take our word for it, check out the WP-Bold Demo and see for yourself how fun and funky this WordPress Theme is.

My favourite piece of this WordPress Theme is the slider on the home page that features the “featured articles”. When you hover your mouse over the article titles it highlights them and shifts them a bit. I haven’t seen this clean but cool feature on a WordPress Theme before.

This new release offers you some cool features like tweaking your theme and being able to preview those changes before committing to them, changing your blogsites’ header and a really simple way to add tweets to your posts.

First let’s look at the new theme features.

What’s the difference between a WordPress.com blog and a WordPress.org website??
Do I really NEED a .org website, along with hosting & all that other stuff? (I’m relatively new to all this techy business)

I want to have an online business where I sell creative stuff like info products & e-courses/books & all kinds of fun online things…can I do that with just a blogsite?

Signed,

So you want to backup or download all of your contacts stored on your 1shoppingcart account? You are in luck. In this article I will give you the step by step way to download a csv files containing your contacts’ information such as the very important name and email address.

First I’ll show you how to download all of your prospects and all of your customers, either separately or all together. I suggest you download them separately if it is important for you to know what list each name and email is associated with.

Then I’ll show you how to download all contacts on a specific autoresponder list (or you can choose multiple autoresponder lists if you don’t need to know what specific list they were on). For eample, I had an autoresponder set up for my affiliates that I downloaded and a few autoresponders for those who bought my book, that I downloaded all together.

On Sunday March 11, 2012 most of Canada, Mexico and the United States will change their clocks for Daylight Saving Time. Whereas other parts of the world ie. Europe, don’t change their clocks to observe Daylight Saving Time until March 25th.

Make sure you have the right time for your meetings next week by using one of my favourite tools: World Clock Meeting Planner:  http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html

Once the time change is in place you can “Google” the word “time” and the name of the city you need to know the time for, ie: “time London”. This will give you the current time in that city.

What business owner doesn’t want paid leads, high retention and high conversions? Of course you want it all! So here’s what I’ve been researching my heart out on and I’m bringing the knowledge back to you. Nano continuity sites is where it is at! Enjoy!

A nano continuity site is a small membership site with low work on your side but great value to members.

Traditional membership sites offer a ton of content a month however this is overwhelming members and overwhelming the membership owners. Imagine trying to pump out new content each month?

Tired of running teleclasses and looking for a new way to build and engage with your community?

Would you like to convert more web visitors or tire kickers into customers and clients faster?

Isn’t it time you were known as one of the leaders in your market?

It is a known fact that video has a higher conversion rate than any other media including audio. There’s something about seeing someone, their mannerisms, their facial expressions and body language that makes us feel like we “know” the person and we trust them faster than we would if we were listening to an audio of them or reading the content in their book. When people get to know, like and trust you they buy from you, when they are ready of course. So why not incorporate video into your marketing plan? Too hard? You don’t have the time?

WordPress recently released version 3.3! You may be wondering what key pieces they added to WordPress and if you should upgrade now.

The key new pieces added to WordPress 3.3:

1. Fly Out Menus

This is my favourite of all of the updates in WordPress 3.3. I tend to work in a number of different menus within WordPress and after a while I have opened so many menus that I have to scroll and scroll to get to the bottom of the WordPress menu and access “Settings” and “WL Plugins“.
