I can help!

I have been using WordPress for many different websites for over 2 years.  I am familiar with the ins and outs, especially of maintaining and upgrading from your current version to the new more secure more stable versions that the WordPress guys put out for download.

I am very good at communicating problems and solutions in an easy to understand, clear way that will reduce the confusion and frustration that you have with your current tech-guy.  I will make sure that you know exactly what is going on with your site, before any major changes are made.

If you are in need of an upgrade, or just want some help with your current WordPress site, please contact me, WordPressHelp@gmail.com.

I will help you come up with a comprehensive upgrade plan, considering all of the factors for making sure the upgrade goes cleanly and smoothly.

Questions I will ask include:

1. Do you have any scripts running on your site, that rely on the WordPress database or functionality?
2. Do you have any plugins running on your current WordPress installation?
3. Do you have access to your server? (FTP, SSH)

I will also work with you on setting up a plan for how to go about upgrading your installation whenever a new version comes out.

If you are interested in help with your WordPress installation, please contact me so we can get your site safe, secure, and up to date: WordPressHelp@gmail.com

Other WordPress stuff I can help you with:

• Installing WordPress
• Posting services, you send the content, I’ll post it
• Using WordPress as your Content Management System
• Creating a Blog Ticker for another page on your website
• Creating external functionality based on WordPress for your website
• WordPress Training
• WordPress troubleshooting
• WordPress Plugin troubleshooting
• WordPress Plugin finding
• WordPress Plugin building
• WordPress Plugin fixing
• WordPress templating, Have a design and need it turned into a WordPress template?
• General WordPress database issues
• Hosting WordPress

Typically, if you are in need of new functionality, plugins, templating, or anything that would possibly make the public side of your website not 100% functional at all time for visitors, I will create a subdomain on one of my development servers and make all the changes there.  I will show them to you, and verify that they are working/looking 100% to your liking and specification, and then I will roll the updates to your live site.  I prefer to not work on live systems, until the product is tested and ready to go. This practice will reduce down time of your website and the frustration for you and your sites users.

Please contact me at WordPressHelp@gmail.com with any questions you may have.  Thank you!

I found this while trolling craig’s list: http://denver.craigslist.org/wan/655870299.html

This is probably the best craig’s listing I have ever seen.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, someone flagged this for removal, some time after it was posted.  I wish I had taken a screen shot and I wish google cache had it…

If you need help getting your site or project out there among the masses, there is a new tool to help you out.

Launch Your Project

To use it, send the site admins a message about your project, whether that be a press release or a “go check this out” message.  They will take what information you give them, and write an article or post your press release.  You want relevent links back to your site? Tell them what words you want linked, and they’ll do that!

They will even tell people what you want them to know about your project with pictures media files, whatever!

From here on out, whenever you see the word basecamp on my site you will notice that it is linked to my referral page on their website.  I am plugging basecamp because I love their product, and I would love to get it for free.

Basically, if you click my link, and then sign up, there is a chance that I would get a credit towards my payments.  Right now I am using the $12/month account, but would love to bump it up to the $24/month, I just can’t afford it right now.

My version of what basecamp is:

It is a web based project management software.  It has Milestones, ToDo lists, and client management.  You can give your clients access to their projects so they can see what you are working on for them.  It lets them realize that you are working on their project.  Also, they can leave you todo items and messages.  If you get the more expensive accounts, you get a free chat program that is built in a logs your conversations.

If you need something like this, sign up for the free account, and check it out.  You will only get one project for free, but I guarantee you will get hooked.  I am.
