Welcome to Blogging Sueblimely. To keep up with my posts you can subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!

One of the reasons it took me such a long time to make this move to Wordpress from Blogger was that I wanted to share with you what I was doing, how I did it and why. I could not write about this, presuming to teach others, without doing some thorough planning and research and trying things out first.
Instead of, for example, posting lists of plugins I wanted to find out which were the most needed and the most useful.

I first installed Wordpress and started experimenting with it in 2005 just because it was there. I have installed and designed Wordpress sites for clients and friends. Over the last couple of months I have been studying in more depth to make sure I was fully up to date.

I am creating a series of posts listing the plugin, widgets and features that I add and the styling changes I make. These lists will be added to as I go along. If I think any need further explanation I will create separate posts that contain more detail.

My priorities include:

• Protection against spam
• Search Engine Optimization - so that this blog can be found.
• Giving those who comment, have helped me in my research and who create addins recognition for their support and contributions.
• Creating a site that is easy to navigate and where relavent related posts, categories and tags are easy to find.
• Adding elements that will be handy for my own blogging needs.

Once I have implemented these aspects I will concentrate on the visual aspects of the design. I am itching to do that first but resisting until other things have been completed.

If you find anything I write is hard to understand, you require more information a topic or I miss something you wish to learn about, please let me know. If you would rather not leave a comment you are welcome to contact me via my Contactify account instead.

If any of my visitors are cluey about Wordpress/SEO/design please feel very welcome to correct me or let me know what I should be adding. (Accuracy is more important than my pride).
