How to Use WordPress Plugins to Enhance Admin Abilities
1. With any WordPress plugin, you first download the plugin from WordPress or from the plugin developer. You then upload the new plugin folder by FTP to the plugins directory of your blog (see links in Resources below).
2. To active the newly uploaded plugin, go to the WordPress admin panel for your blog and choose Plugins from the Dashboard menus. Find the new plugin in the list of available plugins for your blog and click the activate link.OK. On to the plugins you may want to use to improve your Admin panel.
3. Digital Fingerprint is a plugin that will help you detect the splogers who are scraping your content and passing it off as their own. This plugin places a digital fingerprint into blog posts. The fingerprint is only visible in the RSS feed, not on the website itself. You can search for the digital fingerprint using Google Blogsearch or any other blog search tool.
4. If you have a number of registered users who contribute to your blog, you will want Email Users. Email users allows you to send an email to the registered blog users. Users can send personal emails to each other. This is a free plugin, like most WordPress plugins, but donations are encouraged.
5. Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator generates a XML-compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. This format is supported by Ask.com, Google, YAHOO and MSN Search. Each time your sitemap changes, the plugin automatically pings Ask.com, Google, MSN Live Search and YAHOO!
6. OneClick works with WordPress and Firefox. It provides a way to upgrade plugins and themes with, well, one click. You don't even have to unzip the plugins. It handles both the unzipping and the FTP upload.
7. Share This lets you add a Share This button to all posts automatically. This button offers a way for readers to save and share links to each article you write. The many ways to share include: email, e-mail, bookmark, social, network, digg, del.icio.us, ma.gnolia, technorati, reddit, tailrank, furl, blinklist, blogmarks, newsvine, facebook, myspace, social, socialize, stumbleupon, aim, google bookmarks, windows live, and YAHOO! MyWeb.

How to be a Blogger
1. Plan FirstYou will need to plan the basics of this blog. You can just start it with one post and build from there. However, going in with a plan can help. For instance, to prepare yourself for blogging on a consistent basis you can study other successful blogs. Then you need to start asking some questions. Can you make money blogging? Can you spend many hours every week writing, promoting, and publishing?
2. Pick Your TopicYou will need to make this blog interesting. But, in actuality, to be a blogger all you really need is the determination to write what you want. That is the beauty of the blogging world: Your opinion counts. Find some of the more popular blogs with themes you like and then consider if you can do similar things in your own way.
3. Choose a Blog Hosting ServiceThere many sites that will make it easy to create and maintain your blog. The best, in my experience, is Blogspot. This service is free, provides templates, and allows you the freedom to not only write but make money doing it. You can even easily add Google Adsense to a Blogspot blog.
4. Publishing FrequentlySome writers begin blogs and post on them once or twice a month. That’s fine; you can be a blogger this way. But if you want to be a serious blogger, and if you want to make money, you will need to post often.
5. Watch Your Readers Come InIn the end, you will be the reason the blog succeeds or fails. Sometimes a failed blog is just a learning experience. Yet you can succeed in the blogging world by defining success in your own way. Maybe you are just doing it to find some readers for the book you wrote, or maybe you just really care about the issue you blog about. You will publish— and you will be read by someone.
How to Create an SEO Glossary
1. Draw up a list of SEO terms. Gather them by browsing SEO- and Web-marketing websites such as SEOBook, Virtual Grace and Kuno Creative, or online-marketing magazines such as 'Visibility' and noting distinctive terms and phrases such as 'click through' or 'broken link.'
2. Note familiar terms and phrases that have a completely different meaning in SEO marketing. 'Bad neighborhood,' for example, refers to a website that Google or another search engine has penalized for the tactics it uses to attract Web browsers. These terms confuse people who don't know the specialized SEO meaning, so it's worthwhile explaining them.
3. Write out the definitions of the phrases, using your own words rather than copying definitions from other sites. Limited amounts of borrowing don't violate copyright, but cutting and pasting on a large scale might.
4. Add some terms of your own if you think of any that are appropriate. The SEO-Theory website, for example, coins 'frogblog' for bloggers who manage several blogs and hop between them making lots of short posts.
5. Compile your definitions and words into a glossary and post it on your Website. If you define one term by referring to another, include a link in the definition that will take readers to the second term.
How to Buy An Established Money Making Website
1. There are a few websites online that deal specifically with the auctioning of established websites, but I suggest taking a look at sitepoint.marketplace. This website is world-renowned for its collection of available websites. It really is the eBay of websites.
2. You can search for an established site, a start-up site, or a premium website. You can also look for domain names and other internet related things. Generally, websites sell for around 10x their monthly income, so if you want to buy a site that makes $200 a month, expect to pay near $2,000 for it. If you find a site that sells for less than a few months monthly income, it could be a scam, so beware.
3. When you are interested in a site, make sure you communicate with the seller and find out all the important information regarding the site, like monthly income, proof of income, how they attain their traffic, and anything else that you think might be important. Don't be shy when dealing with a seller, especially if you are new to buying and selling websites.

How to Put on Music Video Codes on Xanga
1. Find the codes for music videos that you want to use on your website. YouTube has many music videos and video clips of your favorite television shows and movies. Get Music Video Codes is another. This website updates the codes daily, by the most recent additions and the most popularly used ones.
2. Click on the song title when you find one you like, if you're using Get Music Video Codes. This takes you to a separate page where you have the chance to preview the song and video before making a decision. It's important to watch the video on any site before adding it since the video may be removed.
3. Copy the HTML code found on the bottom of the screen, or the right hand side of the screen, depending on which site you use. This HTML code contains all the data need to set the music video on your page and is known as the music video code.
4. Log into Xanga by entering your user name and password. Look for the Edit option and select Look & Feel from the options listed. The Edit option appears on the main page as soon as you log into your account and the Look & Feel is listed underneath that.
5. Find the JavaScript Module at the bottom and paste the HTML code into your page and add a name or title above it. If you want a short description such as 'My Favorite Videos' or something similar, add that above the code. Preview the look of your music video on your page by selecting Preview. Then select Save Changes on the bottom of the page to save your code.
