• I was told that WordPress was great. After one hour on the site I believe it.

    PROBLEM for me though is that I didn’t understand 99% of what I read. The terminology was…… !!

    Where on the site do I look for “simple explanations” ?

    I am planning a travel web site

    Please help

    Hello Moshu

    Sorry but after reading the introduction I think that blogs are not what I really need. My site is going to be about travel and I intend to put adsense on the pages. Blogging doesn’t sound like it’s the best for this. What do you think ??

    Thanks again

    Roy

    Before thinking about adsense… with all due respect, you should clarify WHAT do you want.
    Sit down with a piece of paper and make a draft of your future site’s structure: like sections, webpages etc.
    Then decide whether you want a static (=html) or dynamic (e.g. PHP/MySQL) site. Things to consider: how often and how it will be updated? How often do you have to change the content or add new content?
    If static (html), do you have the knowledge to handcode every file?
    If dynamic – which CMS (content management system) would fit the best your requirements.
    Whether it’s about travel or my shoe szie… the thinking, planning process is the same.

    WP can power blogs or non-blog websites and many things in between.

    Hi again Moshu

    Wow…..does that sound difficult !

    The terminology you have used is…well…meaningless to me. No idea what “static” & “dynamic” is or the other words.

    I intend to write most of the content myself… as I have read it is the best way to get Google to put adsense on the site. My other intention is to write at least 50 pages before I approach Google for an account, once again because of what I have read (get traffic first etc.)
    Also I will continually add pages as the weeks and months pass on.
    From what I have also seen most hosting companies have everything I would need…all these things a bit like you mention(terminology stuff). Some also have “web page builders” which would also help me.
    So that’s it.

    Roy

    Sorry to bring the bad news: if you want to be a “webmaster” = having your own website… you’ll have to learn at least the basic terminology – and a little bit beyond that.
    And again, your approach is upside down ?? Don’t worry about the Google until you know what are you doing. Don’t waste your time reading all kind of BS about adsense. Read about the basics of having and maintaining a website.

    What you described it’s easily done with WP. With some work and diligent learning ??

    Thanks Moshu .. I do understand….NOW

    Can you point me to the best place to start ? Or is that where you sent me at the beginning of this chat ??
