For the longest time you couldn’t actually make any direct income from your WordPress.com blog – until they released WordAds back in late 2011. Since then it’s gained a lot of steam and added more and more users among their ranks. WordAds, for those that don’t know, allows you to directly reap the benefit of the traffic that you get through the placement of advertisements in your content. They use their partner organizations, like Google Adsense, to provide these targeted ads to your readers. You then get some money via Paypal for those placements based on performance.

Protect Your Investment, Backup WordPress!
It happened quick and I was overwhelmed with all the details that come with acquiring a sizable blog property. I had acquired ChurchMag from 8BIT and there was a lot to sort out. I had migrated the site from 8BIT’s server to my own, and right when I thought everything was sailing along with no problem, I was contacted by my new web host telling me I needed to upgrade.

What Would Make The Perfect Mobile Blogging App?
There have been a few articles here on WP Daily reviewing some of the current mobile blogging apps available for iOS, namely Poster and WordPress. While each author presented what they liked about the apps, they also presented some of the shortcomings found therein. I myself enjoy blogging from my iPad and iPhone due in part to their portability and convenience but also in part because my notebook is an absolute clunker. So after reading these articles and gaining some experience with these two particular apps, plus iA Writer, I began to wonder: What would make the perfect mobile blogging app? You see […]
WPRemote: Easily Monitor, Manage WordPress Sites
It seems there are more and more players in the WordPress management space than I had originally thought – for example, have you seen WPRemote? It’s another web service that will help you manage multiple WordPress-powered sites and/or blogs for you, keeping you posted on the updates needed for all of them in a single dashboard. It’s very much like ManageWP that also does similar things. I quickly took WPRemote for a spin, got signed up quickly, and was instantly liking the backend UI and general look and feel – it was clean and approachable. But that’s where I started to […]
