Plugins in Use @ Moondance : All-in-One SEO Pack
Posted by Michelle Petit-Sumrall as Blogging, Plugins, Wordpress
It’s plugins time once again! This time, we’ll talk about getting your site found on the major search engines.
If you’ve been following along so far you should have developed a pretty decent set of blogging skills. Moreover, by now I bet you’ve got a few articles published, because blogging is an addiction: once you start, it’s hard to resist. But who’s reading your innermost thoughts, your most important opinion, your treatise on life? How will they ever find your insightful insights? The secret lies in great content, word of mouth (or rather, word of web, which we discussed a bit in the post on the “Add-to-Any“plugin), and Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
The “All-In-One SEO Pack” plugin makes it pretty easy.

BREAKING NEWS: New Wordpress 2.7
Posted by Michelle Petit-Sumrall as Blogging, Computing, Wordpress
Sometimes, it’s a good thing being a bit of a geek.
As I’ve said over and over again, I have a personal blog, in addition to this one. That blog serves as a vehicle for personal expression, while also being a testbed for Wordpress as a blog tool. Thanks to “The Brown Study” I have been able to test the new release of Wordpress, ver 2.7, and lemme tell ya, I’m impressed. It actually makes a lot of the backend plugins I had originally installed here obsolete.

Blogging with Wordpress
Posted by Michelle Petit-Sumrall as Blogging, Development, Plugins, Web Development, Widgets, Wordpress
In case you hadn’t noticed, when it comes to the infamous “Web 2.0” concept, it’s a whole new world out there.
Actually, that’s the old version but I’ll get to that later. 
Personally, I feel as though I’ve been on a technological vacation the last few years. I have a Facebook account, a Bebo account, even a LinkedIn account. I think. I never use it, as I prefer Plaxo. I have a blog on Blogger (that I haven’t updated in months). So why am I feeling so “out of the loop”? Because all these wonderful new toys are recent additions to my online, technological activities.
Must be too busy raising the children.

Blogging coming to Moondance
Posted by Michelle Petit-Sumrall as Blogging, Development, Web Development
Ok, the Wordpress blog is being installed and configured. This is very cool, btw, much better than Blogger (sorry Google!), because there are so many customization options, it’s dizzying!
Anyway, with any luck, this will be all set and ready to go by the next issue, just in time for Christmas. More to come…
