AUSWEB BLOG

While installing a WordPress Blog into your Ausweb hosting account can be simply done using Fantastico Deluxe, there are some occasions where you want to transfer an existing WordPress Blog to your Ausweb hosting account. This may be because you already have a WordPress Blog hosted elsewhere and are changing hosting providers or you have a WordPress Blog that you have developed on a test server.

By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots of numbers in them, which is not good for S.E.O. (Search Engine Optimization). Fortunately WordPress offers you the ability to create a custom URL structure using Permalinks in your Admin area.

Login to the Admin area of your WordPress blog and navigate to Options > Permalinks.

“Blog” is an abbreviated version of “weblog,” which is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author’s daily life and thoughts.

Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few things in common:

• A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories.
• An archive of older articles.
• A way for people to leave comments about the articles.
• A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a “blogroll”.
• One or more “feeds” like RSS, Atom or RDF files.

Some blogs may have additional features beyond these.

Here is a summary of some of the many features available in WordPress.

Publicizing Your Work

Feeds

The RSS 1.0 (aka RDF), RSS 2.0 and ATOM specifications are fully supported by WordPress, and what’s more, just about any page on your weblog has an associated feed that your readers can subscribe to – there’s a feed for the latest posts, for categories, comments, well, like we said earlier, for anything you want. The more options your readers have to keep track of different sections of your weblog, the easier it is for you to spread the word around the world. WordPress also fully supports RSS 2.0 with enclosures, so adding mp3 files (such as podcasts) to your RSS feeds is a snap.

Cruft-free Permalinks

The URLs for all the pages in your weblog can be made to conform to a standard, cruft-free system, and all the links are structured, sensible, and understable to human and machines, and that includes search engines. Clean URLs are essential for search engine optimization and an improved user experience.

Inter-blog Communication

In an increasingly connected world, WordPress comes ready for PingBack and TrackBack , two very useful ways of connecting to other weblogs, and to enable them to do the same.
