Overview of SEO Data Transporter from StudioPress

This post originally appeared at For Bloggers By Bloggers, but I’ve been asked a lot of questions about theme changes and SEO settings recently, so I thought I’d share it here.

For any self-hosted WordPress blogger, the SEO Data Transporter plug-in from StudioPress could be one of the most useful plug-ins around.

Compatible with some of the most popular premium WordPress themes as well as SEO plug-ins, the SEO Data Transporter does exactly what it says on the tin – transports SEO data.

Not only that, but it’s incredibly easy to install, set-up and use – what more could you want?

In this video, I give you a quick overview of the SEO Data Transporter plug-in and its benefits.

You can either download the plug-in directly from the StudioPress website, or install from the WordPress dashboard using the Add New Plug-In option and searching for SEO Data Transporter.

How to Create a Custom Menu in WordPress

This post originally appeared on the blogger resource site For Bloggers by Bloggers, one of the new projects from Bonsai Interactive Marketing.

I wanted to share this here to show some of the cool stuff happening over there. The site’s already picking up some great traction, due in no small part to the awesome team that’s coming together on there.

It’s a multi-platform blog resource, and offers a mix of free resources and some great upcoming offers to help your blogging be the best it can be. We’d love to see you over there, so come on by and say hi. Cheers!

With the introduction of WordPress 3.0, bloggers can create a host of different menus for use either on the blog template or as a sidebar widget.

This allows you to create child pages, sub-categories, navigation tabs with external links and much more.

Here, we show you how simple it is to create and get a custom menu up and running in a matter of clicks.

Who Knew @pearsonified Liked Glee?

Chris Pearson AKA @pearsonified of Thesis theme

First, for anyone not on Twitter that’s wondering why the post title looks so funky, it’s just one of the ways you highlight a specific person.

If you are on Twitter and you use self-hosted WordPress as your blogging platform of choice, you’ve probably heard of the Thesis theme, one of the most popular premium WordPress themes around.

Its creator is Chris Pearson, who’s @pearsonified on Twitter. He’s had a rough time lately, with his theme coming under fire from WordPress over licensing issues (now resolved) and his partner at DIY Themes (the makers of Thesis) leaving the company to go to a competitor.

So I thought that it’d be cool to maybe help put a wee smile on Chris’s face and share his love of the TV show Glee with you.

Now. Take a look at the image of Chris at the start of this post, and then watch the video below. While the YouTube user calls himself Nick Pitera, I think it’s clear that Chris is using that name to allow his Glee alter-ego out.

What do you think, guys – new vocation for Chris while building Thesis 2.0? 😉

Google and the Birthday Smile

As some of you know, it’s my birthday today, so I’m taking some downtime and spending the weekend getting pampered (hopefully!).

But I just wanted to share this with you first, as it was a little surprise and it made me smile. Nice job, Google!

Have a great and safe weekend, guys, and see you online soon (and thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes on Facebook and Twitter). You’re awesome!
