How To Create A Home Page In WordPress

by Jeremy Blanton on January 27, 2012

Custom WordPress SitesI’ve found over the past few months of building Custom WordPress Sites that more and more people do not realize that a WordPress site is more than just a blog.  I also get asked many times each week how to add a home page to a WordPress site.

By home page, I don’t mean a page that says home at the top and runs all your blog posts on it, I mean a static home page like the one I built here.

I remember when I first tried to figure out how to do this it took me a good amount of time to figure out the settings and make a static home page.  Surprisingly, to create a home page in WordPress is not that  difficult of a task.  To show just how easy it is, here’s a simple tutorial showing you how to create a home page in WordPress:

So, as you can see, creating a home page in WordPress is not as difficult as it may seem.  If you need help with your own WordPress Site, feel free to contact me.

No We Aren’t Shutting Down, Just Supporting #STOPSOPA

by Jeremy Blanton on January 17, 2012

If you come by the site tomorrow, you do not need to fear that 210 Consulting is shutting down.  We will be working just like any other normal day.  However, you will notice a much different look to the site when you come by tomorrow.

#STOPSOPA WordPress Plugin

Tomorrow 210 Consulting will be showing support for the #STOPSOPA movement that is trying to censor what is shared on websites and give ultimate power to the government to just shut down any sites that they wish.

If you want to show support tomorrow for #stopsopa there is a simple WordPress plugin that I’ve installed and you can as well on your site.  Simply visit the WordPress Plugin Directory and search for Stop SOPA Widget.

So if you visit the site tomorrow, January 18th from 8AM-8PM and see the black screen, do not fear, 210 Consulting is still around!

Google+ and How Social Search Affects Google Results

by Jeremy Blanton on January 16, 2012

I had the honor of doing a webinar today with Mike Mueller on Google+.  Mike is super knowledgeable on the new Google+ platform, so I thought it would be fitting to ask him to do a class on basics of Google+ and also discuss with everyone about the new features of social search that have recently been implemented.

As I have shared with many people while traveling the country as a social media speaker, your use of social networks is becoming more and more important to the success of your business online.  With the way that Google is integrating Google+ into search now, it makes this network even more meaningful.

Here is the presentation:

During the hour long webinar we discussed:

  • What is Google+?
  • Step-by-step walkthrough on how to get started
  • Current useful Google+ applications for business
  • How to keep Google+ from becoming a time suck.
  • Understanding how to use this new Social Search to your advantage

With over 62 million users already on Google+, this is a network to definitely consider in your online marketing plan.
