After reading and going through quite a bit of stuff here at digital point I have my first blog up and running. Yes I know its VERY rough but any advice would be great. If anyone who knows Caffeinated Content well can advise me I know I need to fix the links on the blog from it as I am running CC. Someone want to mentor me? The blog is located at: www.highintensitygardening.com
the first thing you should do is structure the posts and add somehighlights. then get a new design and start promoting it and build backlinks
Check out my blog for one of the best blog layouts available. It's designed by Carlo Cab , he uses this exact theme and makes thousands every week. This theme is SEO , so all you have to do is build backlinks and add content. http://onlinemoneymakin.com/blog Jason
First of all, you need a theme that will match the content. A gardening blog should be soft, pretty and full of pictures of wonderful blooms. An SEO blog Theme is not the way to go. Second, using automated content is not he wayt o go either. If this is your first and only blog, then you should have no problem writing content regularly. Work on putting together something that looks nice first, and then start diving into SEO and marketing. Here are a few links that have some nice free themes: http://web2feel.com/ http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ http://www.revolutiontwo.com
