If you want to create a blog on a website, WordPress is one of the best blogging platforms to choose for this purpose. Adding a blog to your website is a great way to bring traffic to your website which can increase readership, subscribers and sales for your business.There’s various methods you can use to add WordPress or any other blog platform to an existing website however this tutorial will only deal with adding a WordPress powered blog to any type of existing website.
Choose Blog Directory
First step is to decide on exactly where you want your blog installed on your existing website. The 2 most common locations would be:
- blog.yourdomain.com – This is called a sub domain
- yourdomain.com/blog - This is called a sub directory
It won’t make any difference which directory you choose to install WordPress in to create your blog. Once you have made a decision on where you want your blog installed, its time to install WordPress.
Here’s more on Sub domains & sub directories from Google’s Matt Cutts.
Installing WordPress in a Directory
- If you chose option 1, then you’ll need to create a sub domain in cPanel and install WordPress to that sub domain.
- If you chose option 2, then you can simply install WordPress in a subdirectory using a one click installation tool which the best WordPress web hosts offer or complete the WordPress installation manually. (Not recommended for beginners)
Setup Blog
Once you have successfully installed WordPress, you can setup your blog tab to your existing website and name it Blog. It is recommended to setup your blog on the same domain as your website. This is better for search engine optimization and helps build your domain authority and ranking for your website as well as your blog.

Get Your Resume “Recruiter Ready” in 30 Minutes or Less | The Savvy Intern by YouTern
How would you feel if you possessed a nicely polished resume that projects and elevates your level of professionalism? More confident? More positive? I bet!
Crafting a dynamic resume that is also a great selling tool is more time-consuming than 30 minutes. Yet, with the following quick and easy visual and marketing ‘styleover’ tips, you will begin to distinguish yourself from the job search mob in half an hour! That sounds good. Doesn’t it?
Tip 1: Check spacing and make sure your page margins are set to at least a .07 all around. This will not only ensure your resume is inviting but that it meets universal printing standards (abating printing issues).
Tip 2: Bold your name and enlarge the font to 16 pt. or 18 pt. Also, centering your name is a great way to make immediate impact.
Tip 3: Separate your personal contact information with a bullet or divider, providing great visual appeal and easy email and phone number identification.
Tip 4: Add your target Job Title to introduce your Summary or Profile instead of the more common labels such as “Qualifications Profile or just Summary.” This will help you add a great resume keyword right at the top and will lend to your expert image/ brand.
Tip 5: Edit your Summary or Profile, ensuring sentences end quickly; combine ideas and try to limit this introductory paragraph to five to six lines. This will help create a nice crisp look and you will deliver your marketing message more clearly.
Tip 6: Go through the rest of your resume and remove all orphan words (words left on a line by themselves). This just causes an unorganized look and it really isn’t necessary.
Tip 7: Bold resume sections (Employment, Education, etc.) and enlarge the font size to 14 pt. This will nicely separate the areas of your resume and guide readers through.

Tip 8: Group job accountabilities together in a paragraph form, separating from achievements. Keep the number of sentences to no more than six. People lose interest when paragraphs are long-winded. Plus, long sentences and paragraphs makes it easier for your message to become convoluted.
Tip 9: Separate your achievements (how you actually performed and the results you generated) from the job description. Bullet them to no more than five to six bullets; any more than that will look too busy and unwelcoming to the reader.
Tip 10: Ensure you have begun all bulleted sentences with action verbs.
Tip 11: Make sure all your bullets line up and match! Inconsistency screams sloppiness and conveys unprofessionalism.
Tip 12: Eliminate any hobbies or personal information (picture, marital status, age, religious associations). These do not belong on your resume.
Tip 13: Read the entire resume aloud to catch awkward phrases end errors. As you read aloud, analyze if what you have just read is relevant to your new career target, if not–remove it!
Tip 14: Check if you have created a second page that is at least a third full. There is no excuse for a second page with just a few lines on it.
Tip 15: Remove the phrase, References Available Upon Request—this is very antiquated and unnecessary.
Now, get to work! Invest time in preparing a resume that you have polished, in turn, fortifying your professional image.

Quitting Your Job: “Should I Stay, Or Should I Go?” | The Savvy Intern by YouTern
Echoes of the famous Clash song have undoubtedly resonated at that painful moment of deciding whether to quit a job or not.
Go ahead. It’s okay to occasionally indulge yourself in that fantasy of going out in a blaze of glory like a certain JetBlue flight attendant did last year.
But then, let’s get real.
At some point in our career, most of us find ourselves in such a prickly dilemma. The real trick to navigating a confusing mess of conflicting emotions is to rip lyrics right from this song and apply them to the real-work world.
So, darlin,’ you gotta let me know:
“If you say that you are mine, I’ll be there to the end of time.”
Most employers are about as loyal to you as you are to them. Ultimately, your being their employee is a mutual business decision, and loyalty can go out the window if company finances take a tumble. You need to do periodic gut checks on the fiscal health of your employer. If the vibes aren’t good, follow your intuition.
“It’s always tease, tease, tease.”
You have to decide whether promises of promotions, raises, and incentives as well as growth are going to be delivered on by employers. If you constantly get reassurances, but the company doesn’t deliver the goods, it might be time to put the teasing to the end and call it for what it is: being led down the primrose path. Time to start looking.
“One day it’s fine; the next day, it’s black.”
Ever work in a ‘yo-yo’ environment? One day you feel great about your work, only to crash after being hung out to dry by unsupportive bosses? A healthy work environment means you are excited every single day about going to work, and feel rewarded and recognized for your contributions. Sure, we all have bad days, but when they equal or outnumber the good ones, then you’ve got some tough decisions to make… soon.
“If I go, will there be trouble?”
The toughest part about leaving a current employer, sans alternative employment, is possibly facing extended periods of no income. It’s the risk you take, which is why most career professionals advise that you don’t depart one employer until you’ve lined up something else. Ultimately, it boils down to you deciding whether the trouble of looking for a job is worth the possible reward of a great job (and exit strategy of your current work).
“If I stay, will it be double?”
Weighing in the mental cost and toll that having constant issues or stressors at work is something you cannot ignore. Staying in a job you hate can take years from your life, not to mention impact or initiate health problems. Do you know anyone who has gotten ulcers from their job? I do. Plenty.
“This indecision is bugging me. “
Someone once told me that when we fear change the most (thereby hesitating), is exactly when we most need the change. If you have been on the fence for a long time now, it means that there is something gnawing at you and obviously, the status quo isn’t solving it.
“Who exactly am I supposed to be?”
Are you reaching your career potential in your current position? Rose Tremain penned the famous quote: “Life is not a dress rehearsal” – if you are not connected to your passion and realizing what you COULD be, maybe that means that it is time to move on. You only get one chance in this life!
“Should I cool it or should I blow?”
I once had a hothead of a boss, who, at times, was so irrational that it would almost push ME over the edge… it was so infuriating some of the things that this person did. But cooling it might be a good idea – rather than taking the cue from our previously mentioned JetBlue flight attendant friend. Short-term reactions could impact your long-term employability, so taking a step back to determine whether inter-office clashes are one-time only occurrences, or symptoms of a larger, deeper problem.
If the employer doesn’t want you, then maybe setting yourself free could be the answer to opening the door to new possibilities and a healthier work environment.

Follow These Simple Tips to a Successful Virtual Internship | The Savvy Intern by YouTern
In college, or as a young professional, you have many demands on your time; school, commuting, family and social life, exercise… maybe occasionally some sleep. You may also want to take on some internships, but with your already full schedule you think you don’t have time.
You’re in luck! More companies are finding hiring a virtual workforce more practical – and people looking to work virtually, more common – so more virtual internships are becoming available. In fact, about half the internship opportunities on YouTern right now are virtual. (And we just hired several new virtual interns this week!)
For many people a virtual internship is perfect. They get the same level of experience and school credit, and they work from anywhere – their dorm, Starbucks, home – wherever there’s a reliable internet connection. They have the same high level of responsibility as with an in-person internship.
So, what should you do to make your virtual internship a successful experience?
Here, in no particular order, are five simple tips to make sure you get as much value as possible while working remotely:
Embrace Accountability
A virtual internship is a genuine commitment – by you and your supervisor or mentor. During the interview, find out your supervisor’s expectations for you in your virtual internship. The hours and timelines for instance, are often more flexible than with in-office internships. Find out what the supervisor expects of you as the virtual intern.
Illustrate Integrity
You’ll be working remotely, but the same business etiquette will apply to you as a virtual intern as it would in an office. For instance, your “office” is virtual, but your deadlines are real. Icing on the cake: exceed your supervisor’s expectations. When you commit to completing a project by a certain date – hit the deadline or finish even earlier. And complete your assignments even better and more thoroughly than originally discussed. (Your internship is virtual… but your post-internship recommendations, and the possibility to be hired, are real).
Communicate Constantly
There are no in-person water cooler conversations with a virtual internship. No “Hey” head-nods as you pass in the hallway. Because you don’t meet in person, you need to be deliberate with your communication to let your mentor know you’re doing your job. Your best friends in a virtual internship – all available 24/7 – are Skype, email, IM and texting; each enables you to show your progress and commitment. Right before you shut down for the night – each night – shoot your mentor an email or IM: “It’s 1:00AM, here’s what I’ve accomplished recently…”
Sustain Self-Discipline
We can all BS a parent, professor, or boss in real life. In a virtual internship, where no one is looking over your shoulder, it can be even easier – and the temptation, greater. Do everything you can to avoid making this a habit.
During your virtual internship (just as sure as you might miss a Monday in an in-office internship due to the hang-over “flu”) you’ll have times where spontaneity, fatigue or lack of motivation gets in the way of commitment. If it happens too often – if you fail to engage self-discipline – your virtual internship is doomed.
Envision the End-Game
Just like an in-office internship, quality work during a virtual internship can get you hired. Take full advantage of every possible opportunity to impress a colleague, fellow intern, mentor and management. The quality of your work – supervised or not – represents you “at the office”, and could mean a great recommendation, even a job offer. Consistently work as though you are evolving your virtual internship into an employment opportunity.
Virtual internships can provide an intern candidate with more freedom, quality of life and far greater responsibility. Incorporate these tips into your virtual internship. You’ll gain a tremendous learning experience – while perhaps wearing nothing but your boxers and a smile.

What do you want?
What do you want?
TweetWritten by Jim Connolly1 Comments - Share your thoughts with a comment!In my experience, many hard working people fail to achieve the success they deserve, not through lack of ability, but through lack of clarity.
You can’t hit a target that you can’t see, unless you are extremely lucky. Luck, of course, is not an effective business strategy. This is why we need to get specific regarding what we want to achieve commercially.
The need for clarity
We need to get clear regarding our end game or exit strategy. We also need to know what our outcomes are along the way, so we can plot the stages from where we are today, to where we want to be.
We need a clear sense of direction, so we can tell whether we are on course or not. A clear sense of direction also helps us avoid mistaking movement for progress.
In short: Determine what your end game is and the outcomes you will need to reach along the way. Then, move forward with the confidence that comes from clarity.

Ten Simple (but Costly) Blog Mistakes — BlogWorld & New Media Expo Blog
Sometimes, the difference between a profitable blog and a blog that doesn’t make any money isn’t major. In fact, it can boil down to just a few simple mistakes. Of course, every blog is going to be different, with different goals and meeting different reader needs, so not every tip is right for every person. But in general, here are ten really simple mistakes to fix that could be the difference between financial success and failure:
1) Filling Prime Real Estate with Other People’s Ads
In my high school graphic design class, I learned something that I still carry with me – a person’s eye naturally moves like a giant “S” across a page. That means that you’re prime real estate is at the top right. Online, anything “above the fold” (aka, the space you can see without scrolling) is also good. What do you have filling these spaces? I see a lot of people with ads in this space. Unless the most important thing for you is to get clicks on your ads (like if your main monetization strategy is a PPC program), why are you just giving this real estate away? Fill the top right with ads for your own products or affiliate products. Sales will jump. Or, use it for mailing list sign-ups, which you can use to drive sales in the future.
Another high-value place? The very end of your posts. When people are done reading, give them something valuable to do, like sign up for your mailing list or check out your product.
2) Not Including a Search Option
If there’s no search option on your blog, people can find stuff on Google instead, right? Right…but will you be #1 in the search results? Let’s say that I remember you reviewing a product but can’t easily find the post. I can search on Google, but what might pop up is someone else’s product review or someone else mentioning that you reviewed that product.
Even for your own products, you might not come up first on Google. One of your affiliates with awesome SEO can easily beat you out, simply by optimizing their posts. While this will still sell your products, you’ll have to pay an affiliate fee whereas on your own site, it’s pure profit. Don’t risk it. Just include a search bar on your blog and you don’t have to worry about it.
3) Avoiding Affiliate Links
If you talk about products often, why would you not sign up to be an affiliate? You don’t have to link everything you mention, but Amazon affiliate links can be easily added when you mention something in a post. Share a Sale and Commission Junction are also two great places where you can find product affiliate links – I’ve used both with success, and usually these affiliate programs give a better commission than Amazon. People are taking your recommendations when purchasing a product. Why shouldn’t you earn a bit of a commission.
When someone approaches you to ask for a review, this is definitely something you should ask as well. Most people have affiliate programs for their products, and if you’re doing them the favor of reviewing their product, the least they can do is allow you to earn a commission for anything you sell.
4) Underestimating the Eagerness of Your Readers to Buy
A few months ago, I was reading a blog that I really enjoyed, so I signed up for the blogger’s mailing list. I got several emails per week from this blogger, and while they were all interesting, not a single one tried to sell me anything. So I asked the blogger…why? His response was that he didn’t want to turn off readers with sales. Now, I definitely think that some people overdo it, but your readers are your fans – they want to buy the things you recommend or products from you. It’s silly to never sell, in my opinion.
The blogger took my advice and added in a sales email about once a month (so, one every 10 – 15 emails) and is now making a boatload of money that way. To date, he’s had no one complain and sees no greater unsubscribe numbers than with non-sales emails.
5) Paying Too Much for Hosting
Shop around. Are you getting the best deal? You want to avoid a shoddy hosting plan to save money, but some companies are waaaay overpriced. Ask your connections on Twitter or Facebook. People can recommend some great hosts that might be better AND cheaper than the host you chose at random.
Even look at the hosting plans offered by your company – do you need the plan they sold you or is their a cheaper plan that would serve your needs? Companies love to upsell you, and you might be paying for stuff you don’t use. It takes about ten minutes to check out the hosting plans available and you could save a lot of money every year that way, especially if you have multiple sites.
6) Not Including Clear Contact Information
If I want to purchase an ad on your site, how do I get in touch? If I can’t find your email address or a contact form in about 20 seconds, I’m gone. Make a contact page and put it somewhere very easy to see on your site. Don’t hide it on your about page. Don’t put it half-way down your sidebar in a small font that’s lost between ads and navigation tools. I don’t understand why bloggers don’t make it easy to be contacted…unless, I guess, they don’t want to be contacted? The best blogs, in my opinion, make it idiot-proof, listing contact information in multiple easy-to-see places.
Personally, I like it even more when I see an actual advertising page for potential sponsors to learn more. Creating an advertising page on your site that’s clearly listed in the top navigation bar or footer (the two places advertisers typically check first) will tell them that you’re open to selling ad space, that you’ve actually thought about your prices (so you’re a professional), and that they’re likely to hear back quickly.
7) Being Too Humble About Your Products
Dude. You’re awesome! Your readers won’t be reading your posts or following your tweets or subscribed to your emails if they didn’t like you. Don’t be afraid to tell people about your products.
In fact, your products should be front and center! Not only that, but when you talk about your products, don’t be humble. Talk about the advantages of your product and, although you should be clear and honest if there are people who won’t benefit from the purchase, make sure you sell it. If you’re not comfortable with sales, let your fans speak for you by posting testimonials. I’m always willing to give away a free copy of my book if someone (especially someone known in my industry) is willing to write a testimonial.
8 ) Crazy Long Sales Letters with No Buy Button until the End
Long sales letters drive me nuts. I understand that they work, otherwise people wouldn’t use them. But just because they work in their current long form doesn’t mean they couldn’t be better. Don’t confuse the fact that you’re making sales with success. If you sell 1000 products on launch day, you might be jumping for joy…but what if I told you that you had the potential to make 10,000 sales? Not so exciting anymore, is it?
I’ll be one of those people who hits the back button, in many cases, if you don’t have a “buy” button near the top. I certainly want to read a little about your product, but I’m there for a blurb, not a book report, and other readers probably feel the same way. So keep your long sales letter with the buy button at the end, but put one closer to the top too for those of us who are sold already.
9) Lack of Formats
This one is specifically for those who create informational products, which is a lot of readers. If I could do one thing differently with my last product launch, it would be to offer not just a downloadable PDF file, but also multiple other formats. Some people still like print. Others will jump on board if you offer a kindle version. Heck, some people even want content broken up and sent via email over time.
If your products are expensive, I think it also make sense to offer different payment structures. Give a discount for those who can afford to buy your product outright, but make it possible to pay in small chunks for readers on a budget. You don’t want to offer so many options that things are overwhelming, but a few choices will help get your product in the hands of more readers, and it doesn’t take much effort to offer multiple options.
10) No Affiliate Program for Your Products
If you’re selling stuff, are you offering an affiliate program? If not…why not? You’ll have a virtual sales team that are only paid when they sell something if you set up even a low-payout affiliate program! I have to love beyond love a product to write a review if I’m not getting a commission. Even then, if it’s a busy week, I might not make time for it. If you have a great affiliate program, though, you’ll see a major boost in your sales, and most of those buyers will be people you never would have reached otherwise, so it’s not like you’re losing money by paying affiliates, at least most of the time. The benefits greatly outweigh the disadvantages, and best of all, it only takes a few seconds to set up an affiliate program through a company like E-junkie.
It’s your turn – what changes have you made on your blog that resulted in big jumps in profit?
WordPress Releases Retro Mac Theme in Honor of Steve Jobs — BlogWorld & New Media Expo Blog
The internet was in full force yesterday honoring the life of Steve Jobs. From his best quotes and his 2005 Stanford commencement speech, to the way he changed technology forever. It was inspiring to see the different ways people chose to highlight his life, his legacy and keep the memory of him alive.
Boing Boing gave their front page a new look yesterday, which I thought was fantastic. It had the nostalgic classic Mac look we all know so well. Now WordPress has taken note and created a free Retro Mac theme.
WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg commented on the design saying, “Yesterday one of the tributes I noticed was the website Boing Boing switched their theme to one reminiscent of the original Macintosh interface, one of the several times Jobs would make a ding in the universe through his work. It seemed fitting, and we wanted to make it available to all of you, so our theme team worked through the night and here it is”.
Here’s a description of the Retro Mac theme:
A whimsical homage to the days in black and white, celebrating the magic of Mac OS. Dress up your blog with retro, chunky-grade pixellated graphics to evoke some serious computer nostalgia. In all its remembrance and respect, Retro MacOS also supports recent functionality. Read on to learn more.
You can download the theme here.
