I enjoy writing this blog, but twitter helps me have a way to share a more personal side as well links and information that I am not able to get into blog posts. If you have a twitter account or have wanted to create one now is the time to connect!
Read MoreNew Blog Category – Stuff I Found
Okay, so yes I am creating a new category on this blog. It is called Stuff I Found
.
Basically this section of the blog will probably not be recorded for the Blogcast Episodes, but some of the links could show up in a future Podcast possibly.
I thought about calling this category Link Dump
but thought better of it for obvious reasons. However it is somewhat accurate because basically this category is a place for me to clear out my Google Reader and Feedly finds.
So my goal is to only bring the best links to you and if I don’t find something worth posting that week I promise I will not post it. If I find something that I don’t feel like elaborating on, but still think it is good I will probably post that on Twitter so be sure to follow me there at www.twitter.com/jeremymphillips.
Look for links to some great stuff about creating websites using WordPress soon!
Read Moreepisode #15 :: Setup a Gmail email address
As we go through the process of how to setup your website using WordPress you will find that you will be asked to provide an email address several times throughout the process. When you setup your website hosting account, when you install WordPress, when you setup your feedburner account to have email subscription and an RSS feed for your website and if you try to setup an ITunes podcast to name a few.
You can of course setup your website hosting account first and then create an email address to use for this purpose. But I have found it easier to setup a Gmail email address from the start and forward all of the email addresses I created for the website into that account. [of course if you already have a Gmail account you can use that one or create one specifically for your website use] You will want to make sure you setup all of the email addresses you forward to it to look like you are replying from them when you reply out of your Gmail account. Once you have done this you can also compose new emails from any of the ones you have forwarding to it and people will not know you are using Gmail.
The main reason I suggest this is that it is more compatible with Google’s Feedburer, YouTube, Notebook, Apps and Web Developer tools such as Google Analytics, Adsense and Adwords to go ahead and setup a Gmail email to setup your Google account. You can use other email addresses to setup the account, but it is cleaner all the way around to use Gmail.
This is just a suggestion that could help you get off to a smoother start as you will probably want to take advantage of all that Google has to offer in the process of developing your website. Setup your Gmail email address now by going to www.Gmail.com.

episode #14 :: Just do it and install your WordPress website!
Before we get into the specific steps to creating a WordPress website, I want to give you some encouragement. I know it can be a challenge to learn something new. But if you have a desire and dream to either make money online or just launch a website for personal use you will need some of this knowledge. But it can be a challenge sometime to turn that dream into a reality.
When I was in college I was not an overachiever, but I did always seem to complete my projects early. One of my friends, however, was always staying up all night before every project was due in order to complete his projects. He was an extremely frustrated, and of course tired, college student.
One day he asked me what my secret was to getting things done. I was kind of amused by his question. Because I really had no secret. My only advise to him was this. Just do it. There was no secret. i just started earlier than him and stuck with it until it was done. My only advantage was that I did not procrastinate and waste my time on unimportant things that did not help me reach my goal of completing the project.
Awhile later I went to his apartment and there was a handwritten sign under a magnet on his refrigerator. Just do it. I thought it was funny that he needed a sign as a reminder for such a simple concept, but I think we all need that reminder.
So as we get into the specific details of setting up a website using WordPress. I want to say to you. Don’t give up. You don’t need a Web Geek to do this for you. You can do it yourself. Just do it!

Self Proclaimed iPhone App Geek
From time to time I want to bring you some fun and entertaining ways to be anti-geek without having to go too far. This video is about a few self-proclaimed Geeks who develop iPhone Apps. Not WordPress iPhone Apps that I know in this group, but they are raking in tons of money being geeks.
And the amazing part of it is that they are actually proud of it. I would be too if I was making $5 per download and getting hundreds of thousands of downloads. Anyway, enjoy at least one man proclaiming his pride about being a geek.
