When these errors come up, the good thing is, there are plenty of places to find the information needed to fix common WordPress errors.\r\n\r\nBefore you try to fix any error, make sure you fully back up your WordPress website. This will ensure you have everything you need before you try to fix the error.\r\n<h2>404 Post Error</h2>\r\nWordPress will sometimes show a 404 error page when somebody tries to access one of your posts. When this happens, you need to know how to repair the error. Typically, this error means you have an issue with your permalink settings. Make sure to check the permalinks first before trying anything else. If this isn\'t the issue, you may need to update your rewrite rules.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPress404PostError.png\" alt=\"WordPress 404 Post Error\" width=\"605\" height=\"224\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6396\" />\r\n<h2>Memory Exhausted Error</h2>\r\nSometimes, the memory WordPress uses runs out. This may happen when you install a plugin and it\'s too big for the site or you have too much content/images taking up space. The error looks like this:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/MemoryExhaustedError.png\" alt=\"Memory Exhausted Error\" width=\"548\" height=\"82\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6397\" />\r\n\r\nThis error can be fixed in the wp-config.php file. You can find this fie in the root WordPress directory and on the first line, you will see define(\'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT\', \'64M\'). If it doesn\'t say 64M, you will need to change this line of code to reflect this size.\r\n<h2>Locked Out of WordPress Admin</h2>\r\nMaybe you\'ve found yourself locked out of the WordPress admin area. This happens when you forget your password and you cannot access your email to recover it. Sometimes, this happens due to a plugin error or a hacker. If this happens, you will need to know how to fix it.\r\n\r\nYou can fix this error by access the phpMyAdmin area in your cPanel. If you know the database you\'re using for the site, just access it and go to the wp_users section. Here, you can change the password and the email for accessing your lost password.\r\n<h2>Still Down for Maintenance Error</h2>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressMaintenaceError.png\" alt=\"WordPress Maintenace Error\" width=\"484\" height=\"98\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6399\" />\r\nIf you update WordPress, a plugin or your theme, you may end up stuck in maintenance mode. This can be very annoying, but it\'s very easy to fix. Usually, this error happens when an interruption happens and you don\'t let the update complete.\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to fix this error is to access your root WordPress folder. You will need to make sure the hidden files are showing (This varies from one host to another, but is typically a check box in the file manager area.). Now, just find the .maintenance file and delete it. This is a temporary file that puts you in maintenance mode.\r\n<h2>WordPress Syntax Error</h2>\r\nIf you try to add code snippets in WordPress, you may get a syntax error. This means, you either missed something or the code isn\'t written properly. Typically, you can fix this error by fixing the last snippet of code you were editing.\r\n<h2>WordPress Internal Server Error</h2>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/InternalServerError.png\" alt=\"Internal Server Error\" width=\"496\" height=\"128\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6398\" />\r\nYou may run into the \"500 Internal Server Error\" or just a regular \"Internal Server Error.\" This common error is one of the harder ones to fix. The problem is, the error doesn\'t tell you where to look. Here are a few potential solutions to try first.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Corrupt .htaccess file</li>\r\n	<li>PHP Memory Limit Needs Increased</li>\r\n	<li>Plugin Issues</li>\r\n	<li>Core Files need Re-uploaded</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSometimes, if you delete all your plugins and install them one by one, you can find the issue. Other times, you will need to contact your hosting support.\r\n<h2>Sidebar Displaying Below Content Error</h2>\r\nA common issue beginners encounter is the sidebar they create displaying below the content on the page. This happens often when you\'re working with the code snippets on your site. Sometimes it can be a CSS issue and it can be as simple as changing the size of the content area. However, other times, it can be a bit more difficult. Check the code you were last updating for the issue before doing anything else.\r\n\r\nThese are just a few of the most common errors found in WordPress. Many beginners don\'t know how to fix these errors, but now, you can handle most of them without needing to contact the support of your hosting company.','How to Fix Some of the Most Common WordPress Errors','','inherit','open','closed','','6395-revision-v1','','','2014-04-04 18:14:29','2014-04-04 22:14:29','',6395,'http://itxdesign.com/6395-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6427,4,'2014-04-07 15:10:57','2014-04-07 19:10:57','','DWQA CAPTCHA','','inherit','open','closed','','dwqacaptcha','','','2014-04-07 15:10:57','2014-04-07 19:10:57','',6421,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DWQACAPTCHA.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6428,4,'2014-04-07 15:11:16','2014-04-07 19:11:16','','Notifications DWQA','','inherit','open','closed','','notificationsdwqa','','','2014-04-07 15:11:16','2014-04-07 19:11:16','',6421,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NotificationsDWQA.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6429,4,'2014-04-07 15:11:36','2014-04-07 19:11:36','','Permissions DWQA','','inherit','open','closed','','permissionsdwqa','','','2014-04-07 15:11:36','2014-04-07 19:11:36','',6421,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PermissionsDWQA.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6430,4,'2014-04-07 15:12:06','2014-04-07 19:12:06','If you\'ve thought about creating a question and answer website similar to Yahoo Answers or Stackoverflow, you can do this with WordPress.

Just click the box for \"anyone can register\" and set the default role to \"Subscriber.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressRegistration.png\" alt=\"WordPress Registration\" width=\"406\" height=\"171\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6424\" />\r\n\r\nAfter registration is enabled, you can actually set up the rest of the DWQA plugin.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step #3 - Adjusting the General Settings of the Plugin</strong>\r\n\r\nStart by going to the <strong>DW Q&amp;A &gt;&gt; Settings</strong> area that was created when you activated the plugin. This section is found in your WordPress dashboard in the left column. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DWQASettings.png\" alt=\"DWQA Settings\" width=\"588\" height=\"344\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6425\" />\r\n\r\nHere, you can choose the page for the question form and one for a list of questions. You will also be able to set the timeframe for how long a question remains highlighted as a new question. Just enter the number of hours in the box next to \"New Question Time Frame.\"\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NewQuestionTimeFrame.png\" alt=\"New Question Time Frame\" width=\"354\" height=\"122\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6426\" />\r\n\r\nFrom this menu, you can also set up a CAPTCHA code, to help prevent spam. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DWQACAPTCHA.png\" alt=\"DWQA CAPTCHA\" width=\"614\" height=\"198\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6427\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>Step #4 - Setting your Notifications</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Notifications tab, in settings, will allow you to make a few changes, as well. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NotificationsDWQA.png\" alt=\"Notifications DWQA\" width=\"438\" height=\"140\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6428\" />\r\n\r\nIn this section, you can customize the email that will be sent to a user after they ask a question, add a new comment or answer a question. You can add a logo and set the email to send to you, as well. \r\n\r\n<strong>Step #5 - Setting the Permissions</strong>\r\n\r\nThe permissions tab will allow you to change what you allow each type of user to do. You can set the permissions to allow some users to edit and delete questions and answers, while others can only read and post. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PermissionsDWQA.png\" alt=\"Permissions DWQA\" width=\"756\" height=\"570\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6429\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve completed these steps, you are all set up with a new question and answer WordPress website. \r\n\r\n<h2>How to Manage your Q&amp;A WordPress Website</h2>\r\n\r\nManaging your question and answer website is very easy. Simply go to the <strong>DW Q&amp;A &gt;&gt; All Questions</strong> section found in the WordPress Dashboard. \r\n\r\nThis section will allow you to delete and edit any of the questions submitted to your site. You can also use this section to add categories for questions and manage the tags added by users submitting questions.\r\n\r\nThe plugin will work with most WordPress themes and will display the questions on a page looking like this:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/QuestionAndAnswer.png\" alt=\"Question And Answer\" width=\"671\" height=\"482\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6422\" />\r\n\r\nUsers can search for questions according to status, views, answers and categories. They can even vote on answers and questions, along with adding their own comments. Visitors can even follow a question by clicking the star icon. As the administrator, you can mark a question as resolved, which will allow users to still read the answers, but they won\'t be able to submit a new answer. \r\n\r\nIf you want to set up a question and answer website with WordPress, this free plugin will allow you to do exactly that. Just download the plugin and follow the steps listed above.\r\n\r\n','Can You Create a Q&amp;A Site with WordPress?','','inherit','open','closed','','6421-autosave-v1','','','2014-04-07 15:14:37','2014-04-07 19:14:37','',6421,'http://itxdesign.com/6421-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6433,4,'2014-04-10 12:12:50','2014-04-10 16:12:50','If you started your blog on WordPress.com because it was free, but now you want to move over to WordPress.org, you need to know how to do this. WordPress.com is great, but it doesn\'t allow you to do as much as WordPress.org allows. With WordPress.com, you cannot install plugins, a custom theme and really monetize your blog in the same ways as you can with WordPress.org.\r\n<h2>What Should you do First?</h2>\r\nBefore you decide to move your blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, you will need to find a good hosting company, such as ITX Design. You will also need your own domain name. You can get a free domain name with a shared hosting package from ITX Design for less than $5 per month. However, if you\'re site already has a custom domain name, you won\'t need a new one.\r\n\r\nBefore you take the time to move your WordPress.com blog to an ITX Design hosting package and WordPress.org, it\'s important to know that the technical support staff will do this for you free of charge. However, if you like to learn, you can follow the steps below to do it yourself.\r\n<h2>How to Move Your WordPress.com Blog to WordPress.org</h2>\r\nStart by logging into your WordPress.com account. Next, go to your blog\'s dashboard and click on the Export button found in the Tools menu.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6438\" alt=\"Exports Tools\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ExportsTools1.png\" width=\"183\" height=\"192\" />\r\n\r\nOn the next page, you will have the option to choose the free or the guided transfer.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6439\" alt=\"Free or Guided Transfer\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/FreeorGuidedTransfer1.png\" width=\"759\" height=\"159\" />\r\n\r\nChoose the free option by clicking on the \"export\" link. Now you can select what you want to export.

You can access WordPress.org by logging into your cPanel and clicking on the Fantastico logo. From here, you can set up WordPress.org on your domain name and get the \"Admin\" area necessary to allow you to set it up.\r\n\r\nYou don\'t have to set up your theme, plugins and other customizations before importing the file from WordPress.com. Instead, you can simply log into your WordPress Dashboard, go to <strong>Tools &gt;&gt; Import</strong> and select \"WordPress\" from the menu.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6441\" alt=\"WordPress Import\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressImport1.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"158\" />\r\n\r\nFrom this section, you will be able to install the WordPress Importer Plugin. Once this is installed and activated, you can access the plugin to upload your WordPress.com XML file.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6442\" alt=\"WordPress Importer\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressImporter.png\" width=\"527\" height=\"267\" />\r\n\r\nJust find the file you downloaded and click the \"Upload and Import file\" button. You will be given the option to select a new user for the content or assign a current user.\r\n\r\nIf the file is over 2MB in size, you may need to contact the support of your hosting company to have the temporary limit changed until you\'re done with the import.\r\n\r\nAfter you have completed the import and everything looks good, you will want to change the WordPress.com blog to private. This is done by logging into your WordPress.com account and going to <strong>Settings &gt;&gt; Reading</strong>. Here, you can click the option that says, \"I would like my site to be private, visible only to users....\" found under the \"Site Visibility\" section.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6443\" alt=\"WordPress Site Visibility\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressSiteVisibility.png\" width=\"614\" height=\"174\" />\r\n\r\nMake sure, if you have a following, you let everybody know where your blog is going. This will help to ensure you don\'t lose any of your followers.\r\n<h2>Preserving your SEO Throughout the Move</h2>\r\nIf you\'ve been writing for quite some time, you may want to use a 301 header to redirect your users to the new WordPress.org blog. This will help to preserve your search engine rankings, as well.\r\n\r\nWith WordPress.com, this is a paid upgrade for $13 per year. It\'s well worth it, if you have a following and traffic going to your WordPress.com blog.

Here\'s a quick guide to help you embed videos within your WordPress blog posts.\r\n<h2>How to Add Videos to Your WordPress Blog</h2>\r\nAfter you find the video you want to embed into your WordPress blog, the process of doing it is very simple. Just paste the URL into the content area.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6446\" alt=\"Embed Video In WordPressPost\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/EmbedVideoInWordPressPost.png\" width=\"375\" height=\"166\" />\r\n\r\nIt doesn\'t matter if you add the link to the \"visual\" or \"text\" editor. It will still show up where you place it within your content. However, make sure the video URL isn\'t hyperlinked or clickable.\r\n<h2>Who are the White-Listed Video Providers?</h2>\r\nIf you want to add videos to your WordPress website, you will need to use the white-listed providers. Of course, you can still use your own videos, but it\'s better to upload them to an account with one of the following providers first.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>YouTube</li>\r\n	<li>Hulu</li>\r\n	<li>Revision3</li>\r\n	<li>Scribd</li>\r\n	<li>DailyMotion</li>\r\n	<li>Vimeo</li>\r\n	<li>Flickr</li>\r\n	<li>blip.tv</li>\r\n	<li>Google Video</li>\r\n	<li>PollDaddy</li>\r\n	<li>Photobucket</li>\r\n	<li>Qik</li>\r\n	<li>SmugMug</li>\r\n	<li>FunnyOrDiel.com</li>\r\n	<li>WordPress.tv</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAll of these videos will automatically embed when you paste the URL into the post editor.\r\n<h2>What Should You do if You Plan to Upload a Large Amount of Videos?</h2>\r\nVideos take up quite a bit of space and if you plan to upload hundreds or thousands of them, you may need to upgrade our hosting. Shared hosting accounts are great, but if you use too many videos, you may reach a limit with your hosting company. If this happens, a VPS or dedicated hosting account may be necessary.\r\n\r\nWe recommend that you use YouTube for all your videos first. This will allow you to host the video outside of your actually hosting account. You will save space doing this and you won\'t have to worry about using up all the server resources of your shared hosting account.\r\n\r\nNow you know how to embed a video into your WordPress post. It\'s a good idea to use both videos and written content.

Any Gmail account will work for the FeedBurner service.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'re logged in, you will see a section that looks like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6452\" alt=\"Add FeedBurner Feed\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AddFeedBurnerFeed.png\" width=\"691\" height=\"114\" />\r\n\r\nSimply post your blog feed address into this section and click \"next.\" You will now get a screen like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6453\" alt=\"Naming Your Feed\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NamingYourFeed.png\" width=\"509\" height=\"491\" />\r\n\r\nThis page will allow you to give your feed a title and a custom address. Once you\'ve filled these two sections in, click \"next.\" The next page will tell you the feed has been created and will give you the actual URL for your new RSS feed.\r\n\r\nFrom this screen, you can set up additional features, if you want or you can go directly to your feed management section.\r\n<h2>Optimizing Your FeedBurner RSS Feed</h2>\r\nNow, you will want to optimize your RSS Feed. This can be done from the feed management section and the \"Optimize\" tab.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6454\" alt=\"Optimize FeedBurner\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/OptimizeFeedBurner.png\" width=\"438\" height=\"220\" />\r\n\r\nMake sure to activate the Browser Friendly option, FeedFlare option and the Smart Feed option. You can active other options, as well, but these three are the most important.\r\n<h2>Publicizing Your FeedBurner RSS Feed</h2>\r\nNext, you will want to use the Publicize option to add even more to your RSS feed. This option will allow your feed to be shard easier and will give you a subscriber count to show off.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6455\" alt=\"Publicize FeedBurner\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PublicizeFeedBurner.png\" width=\"729\" height=\"480\" />\r\n\r\nYou want to make sure to turn on the Email Subscriptions, PingShot and FeedCount options. You can also turn on other options, if you want.\r\n<h2>Monetizing Your Feed</h2>\r\nIf you have a Google AdSense Account, you will have a monetization option for your FeedBurner Feeds. All you have to do is activate this section and configure your ads. However, if you don\'t have Google AdSense, you will need to fill out an application and receive an approval before you can set this up.\r\n<h2>FeedBurner Analyze</h2>\r\nThe other section found within FeedBurner is called \"Analyze.\" This section will allow you to see the stats for your feed. It will take about 24 hours for stats to start showing up, but once they do, you can track how your feeds are performing from this section.\r\n<h2>Integrating Your Feed with WordPress</h2>\r\nAfter setting up your FeedBurner RSS Feed, you need to integrate it with WordPress. You want to start by creating a redirect for your default feed, which is usually, yourdomain.com/feed/. Use FD FeedBurner to set this up very easily. It can also be done in your .htaccess file, but it\'s much easier with the plugin.\r\n\r\nMany of the themes found for WordPress come with FeedBurner integration already built-in. However, if your theme doesn\'t have this built in, you can use the FeedBurner Email Subscription Plugin.\r\n\r\nIf your theme does have it built in, you will need to get the code from the <strong>Publicize &gt;&gt; Email Subscription</strong> in FeedBurner. Once you have this code, you just need to enter it into the Widget or area designated for the code.\r\n\r\nWhether you use the integration from your WordPress theme or you use the plugin to create a subscriber box, using FeedBurner is necessary for all WordPress bloggers.','How to Setup FeedBurner for Your WordPress Blog','','publish','open','closed','','how-to-setup-feedburner-for-your-wordpress-blog','','','2014-04-10 09:04:17','2014-04-10 13:04:17','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=6450',0,'post','',0),(6451,4,'2014-04-07 17:39:58','2014-04-07 21:39:58','','Feedburner','','inherit','open','closed','','feedburner','','','2014-04-07 17:39:58','2014-04-07 21:39:58','',6450,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Feedburner.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6452,4,'2014-04-07 17:41:25','2014-04-07 21:41:25','','Add FeedBurner Feed','','inherit','open','closed','','addfeedburnerfeed','','','2014-04-07 17:41:25','2014-04-07 21:41:25','',6450,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AddFeedBurnerFeed.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6453,4,'2014-04-07 17:41:47','2014-04-07 21:41:47','','Naming Your Feed','','inherit','open','closed','','namingyourfeed','','','2014-04-07 17:41:47','2014-04-07 21:41:47','',6450,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NamingYourFeed.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6454,4,'2014-04-07 17:42:10','2014-04-07 21:42:10','','Optimize FeedBurner','','inherit','open','closed','','optimizefeedburner','','','2014-04-07 17:42:10','2014-04-07 21:42:10','',6450,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/OptimizeFeedBurner.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6455,4,'2014-04-07 17:42:28','2014-04-07 21:42:28','','Publicize FeedBurner','','inherit','open','closed','','publicizefeedburner','','','2014-04-07 17:42:28','2014-04-07 21:42:28','',6450,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PublicizeFeedBurner.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6456,4,'2014-04-07 17:43:46','2014-04-07 21:43:46','FeedBurner has become the most popular way to burn an RSS feed because of the many features provides and the price, which is free.

The best way to leverage sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and the any others is with your own customized short URL.\r\n\r\nWithout your own shortened URL, you may end up sharing something automatic whenever you share your blog. However, the right short URL can draw attention, allow for branding and make it easier to share your WordPress blog.\r\n<h2>Step #1 - Buy a Short URL</h2>\r\nSince many blogs have a longer URL, even if it\'s just a company name or your personal name, it\'s hard to share it on social sites. However, you can purchase a short URL by using one of the odd extensions as a part of the name. These shorter URLs are quite creative, but you can find them with a tool called <a href=\"https://domai.nr/\">Domai.nr</a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6470\" alt=\"Domainr\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Domainr.png\" width=\"732\" height=\"360\" />\r\n\r\nJust type the world you want to create your short URL with and this tool will try to find the right extension to create your URL. After you\'ve done this, you can register your URL with GoDaddy or with a new hosting account from ITX Design.\r\n<h2>Step #2 - Bit.ly Tracking</h2>\r\nAnother way to create your shortened URL is with bit.ly. Not only is this a free tool, but it will also provide tracking for your shortened URL. Start by signing up for a <a href=\"https://bitly.com/\">Bit.ly account</a>.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve logged in, just click the Settings link found under your username in the right corner.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6477\" alt=\"Bitly\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Bitly1.png\" width=\"235\" height=\"229\" />\r\n\r\nNow, click the advanced tab and use this section to set up tracking for your shortened URL.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6474\" alt=\"Bitly Advanced\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/BitlyAdvanced.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"98\" />\r\n<h2>Step #3 - Adding Your Site to Bit.ly</h2>\r\nNow, you will need to change the DNS record of your shortened URL.

The best way to leverage sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and the any others is with your own customized short URL. \r\n\r\nWithout your own shortened URL, you may end up sharing something automatic whenever you share your blog. However, the right short URL can draw attention, allow for branding and make it easier to share your WordPress blog.\r\n\r\n<h2>Step #1 - Buy a Short URL</h2>\r\n\r\nSince many blogs have a longer URL, even if it\'s just a company name or your personal name, it\'s hard to share it on social sites.

Without the right hosting, you may never achieve the best possible ranking for your website.\r\n\r\nIt takes quite a bit to improve your overall search engine optimization and increase the traffic to your website. However, with the right strategy, you can become one of the top ranked websites on Google, Yahoo and Bing for your specific keywords.\r\n\r\n<b>What is SEO Hosting?</b>\r\n\r\nSEO hosting is any type of hosting using both non-traditional and traditional methods to improve the overall optimization of a website or blog. Companies offering this type of hosting often offer multiple C-Class IPs, content creating and many other SEO-friendly services.\r\n\r\n<b>Why are Multiple IPs Important?</b>\r\n\r\nIn the world of <a title=\"SEO\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/category/seo/\">SEO</a>, using a strategy that stretches across multiple domain names, Class Cs, DNS and IPs is very important. Many of the best SEO strategies include using multiple websites for ranking and feeding traffic to the main money site.\r\n\r\nIf this type of strategy is employed without the use of multiple IPs, it could trigger the search engines to black list all your website. However, when this type of strategy is used and done correctly, it can be very powerful for your overall ranking.\r\n\r\n<b>How does your Hosting Affect Your Website SEO?</b>\r\n\r\nHosting can have a massive effect on how your website and blog rank in the search engines. It can also make the difference between landing a new customer and losing them to your competition. Three major factors come into play with any type of SEO hosting:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><i>Uptime or Downtime</i> - If the hosting you choose causes large periods of downtime, the search engines won\'t rank you nearly as high as a website experiencing very little or no downtime.</li>\r\n	<li><i>Speed</i>- Back in 2010, Matt Cutts from Google, stated that the search engine would begin taking site speed into consideration for rankings. This means, if you\'re website matches perfectly with your competition on all other SEO aspects, you may rank lower, if your site loads too slowly.</li>\r\n	<li><i>Security </i>- Although security won\'t have a direct effect on your SEO, it can have a negative affect if you get hacked. Sometimes competitors will utilize hackers to drop your SEO.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese three factors do make a difference when it comes to how your website will rank in the search engines. If you\'re site loads slowly or experiences large amounts of downtime, you will lose customers from lower ranking.\r\n\r\n<b>Do you Need Dedicated Hosting for the Best SEO?</b>\r\n\r\nSearch engine optimization is certainly a tricky thing, but one thing is clear, dedicated server hosting is the choice for SEO. With dedicated hosting, you gain the most stable environment, fastest load times, best security and the ability to create a better SEO profile for your website(s).\r\n\r\nHowever, you can still gain high ranking or <a title=\"boost site ranking\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/three-tips-to-help-you-boost-your-websites-search-engine-ranking-with-cutting-edge-link-building-strategies/\">boost site ranking</a> with both shared and VPS hosting. Both of these types of hosting can load just as fast as dedicated hosting, when utilized properly.\r\n\r\nShared hosting can usually handle quite a bit of traffic, but it all depends on the scripts and applications you are running on the server. If used properly, you won\'t have to worry about traffic slowing down your load times until you reach a very high volume.\r\n\r\nIf you start to notice slower load times or your ranking start to drop, you may want to consider upgrading from shared to VPS or dedicated hosting. This will provide better SEO benefits. When you reach this point, it\'s best to contact the support team of your hosting company or the one you plan to use, for a professional recommendation.\r\n\r\n<b>ITX Design Offers Top SEO Hosting</b>\r\n\r\nFinding the best SEO hosting for your specific needs doesn\'t have to be difficult.

Of course, this is only for testing and learning purposes, but it can be very helpful. The process isn\'t very difficult, but you will need WAMP to make this happen.\r\n<h2>What is WAMP?</h2>\r\nWampServer or WAMP is a compilation of MySQL, Apache web server and PHP. It\'s a bundled used for Windows computers and required to set up your own local server environment. If you want to install WordPress on your personal computer and you\'re running Windows, you will need WAMP or XAMPP, but WAMP is the recommended choice.\r\n<h2>How to Install WAMP on your PC</h2>\r\nYou will need to start by downloading the latest version of WAMP from the official website here: <a href=\"http://www.wampserver.com/en/\">WAMP Website</a>.\r\n\r\nMake sure you choose the right version, which will either be the 64-bit or 32-bit version of WAMP. If you\'re not sure which one is best for your system, choose the 32-bit because it will work with the 64-bit versions of Windows, as well.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6481\" alt=\"WAMP Download\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPDownload.png\" width=\"469\" height=\"121\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you have completed the download process, you will be ready to install WAMP on your PC. Just follow the on-screen instructions for the installation. You will be given an option to create a quick launch icon and/or a desktop icon. Choosing both will give you full convenience to find WAMP whenever you want to use it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6482\" alt=\"WAMP Icon Creation\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPIconCreation.png\" width=\"504\" height=\"243\" />\r\n\r\nMake sure you choose the default web browser you use most. The program will default to Internet Explorer, so if you use Firefox or Google Chrome, you will need to make this change.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6483\" alt=\"Browser Change in WAMP\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/BrowserChangeinWAMP.png\" width=\"538\" height=\"78\" />\r\n\r\nAfter the installation is complete, you can launch WAMP.\r\n<h2>How to Set Up a WordPress Database with WAMP</h2>\r\nWAMP will give you phpMyAdmin with it, which makes it easy to manage the MySQL databases. You will need to launch the program by clicking on the WAMP icon in your Windows taskbar. Then, click the phpMyAdmin section.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6484\" alt=\"WAMP Icon PHP MyAdmin\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPIconPHPMyAdmin.png\" width=\"249\" height=\"417\" />\r\n\r\nThis will open a new window in your browser and you will want to click on Databases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6485\" alt=\"Databases\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Databases.png\" width=\"512\" height=\"58\" />\r\n\r\nFrom here, you can create a new database for WordPress and name it. Once you have selected a name, just click the \"create\" button.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6486\" alt=\"Create And Name Database\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CreateAndNameDatabase.png\" width=\"515\" height=\"160\" />\r\n\r\nNow, you are ready to install WordPress on your PC with WAMP.\r\n<h2>Installing WordPress on a Windows Computer with WAMP</h2>\r\nInstalling WordPress on your Windows computer requires downloading it from <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">WordPress.org</a>. Once you have downloaded WordPress, you will need to extract the .zip folder and copy the WordPress folder. You will want to paste the folder in the C:wampwww folder. You can rename the folder anything you want, such as TestSite or MySite.\r\n\r\nAt this point, you will get a message telling you the wp-config.php file could not be found. It will have a button that says \"Create a Configuration File\" and you want to click this button.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6487\" alt=\"Create Config File\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CreateConfigFile.png\" width=\"502\" height=\"146\" />\r\n\r\nThe next screen will allow you to enter the database you created earlier. You will also want to leave the username as \"root\" and the password as blank. Once you\'ve filled in this information, just click the \"submit\" button.\r\n\r\nYou should get a screen telling you that the configuration file has been created with a button for installing WordPress. Click the \"Run the install\" button and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you choose an admin username and password. If you have ever installed WordPress on a hosting account, this screen will look familiar to you.\r\n\r\nOnce you fill in the information, click the \"Install WordPress\" button and you will soon have WordPress installed on your Windows PC. After the program is done installing, you will get a success message and you can stat setting up WordPress.\r\n\r\nInstalling WordPress on your Windows PC with WAMP isn\'t very difficult.

Of course, this is only for testing and learning purposes, but it can be very helpful. The process isn\'t very difficult, but you will need WAMP to make this happen. \r\n\r\n<h2>What is WAMP?</h2>\r\n\r\nWampServer or WAMP is a compilation of MySQL, Apache web server and PHP. It\'s a bundled used for Windows computers and required to set up your own local server environment. If you want to install WordPress on your personal computer and you\'re running Windows, you will need WAMP or XAMPP, but WAMP is the recommended choice.\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Install WAMP on your PC</h2>\r\n\r\nYou will need to start by downloading the latest version of WAMP from the official website here: <a href=\"http://www.wampserver.com/en/\">WAMP Website</a>.\r\n\r\nMake sure you choose the right version, which will either be the 64-bit or 32-bit version of WAMP. If you\'re not sure which one is best for your system, choose the 32-bit because it will work with the 64-bit versions of Windows, as well.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPDownload.png\" alt=\"WAMP Download\" width=\"469\" height=\"121\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6481\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you have completed the download process, you will be ready to install WAMP on your PC. Just follow the on-screen instructions for the installation. You will be given an option to create a quick launch icon and/or a desktop icon. Choosing both will give you full convenience to find WAMP whenever you want to use it. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPIconCreation.png\" alt=\"WAMP Icon Creation\" width=\"504\" height=\"243\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6482\" />\r\n\r\nMake sure you choose the default web browser you use most. The program will default to Internet Explorer, so if you use Firefox or Google Chrome, you will need to make this change. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/BrowserChangeinWAMP.png\" alt=\"Browser Change in WAMP\" width=\"538\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6483\" />\r\n\r\nAfter the installation is complete, you can launch WAMP.\r\n\r\n<h2>How to Set Up a WordPress Database with WAMP</h2>\r\n\r\nWAMP will give you phpMyAdmin with it, which makes it easy to manage the MySQL databases. You will need to launch the program by clicking on the WAMP icon in your Windows taskbar. Then, click the phpMyAdmin section.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPIconPHPMyAdmin.png\" alt=\"WAMP Icon PHP MyAdmin\" width=\"249\" height=\"417\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6484\" />\r\n\r\nThis will open a new window in your browser and you will want to click on Databases.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Databases.png\" alt=\"Databases\" width=\"512\" height=\"58\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6485\" />\r\n\r\nFrom here, you can create a new database for WordPress and name it. Once you have selected a name, just click the \"create\" button.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CreateAndNameDatabase.png\" alt=\"Create And Name Database\" width=\"515\" height=\"160\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6486\" />\r\n\r\nNow, you are ready to install WordPress on your PC with WAMP. \r\n\r\n<h2>Installing WordPress on a Windows Computer with WAMP</h2>\r\n\r\nInstalling WordPress on your Windows computer requires downloading it from <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">WordPress.org</a>. Once you have downloaded WordPress, you will need to extract the .zip folder and copy the WordPress folder. You will want to paste the folder in the C:wampwww folder. You can rename the folder anything you want, such as TestSite or MySite. \r\n\r\nAt this point, you will get a message telling you the wp-config.php file could not be found. It will have a button that says \"Create a Configuration File\" and you want to click this button. \r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CreateConfigFile.png\" alt=\"Create Config File\" width=\"502\" height=\"146\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6487\" />\r\n\r\nThe next screen will allow you to enter the database you created earlier. You will also want to leave the username as \"root\" and the password as blank. Once you\'ve filled in this information, just click the \"submit\" button.\r\n\r\nYou should get a screen telling you that the configuration file has been created with a button for installing WordPress. Click the \"Run the install\" button and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you choose an admin username and password. If you have ever installed WordPress on a hosting account, this screen will look familiar to you. \r\n\r\nOnce you fill in the information, click the \"Install WordPress\" button and you will soon have WordPress installed on your Windows PC. After the program is done installing, you will get a success message and you can stat setting up WordPress. \r\n\r\nInstalling WordPress on your Windows PC with WAMP isn\'t very difficult. This can help with development of themes and plugins. For beginners, installing WordPress on your PC can allow you to learn all the different things you can do with this powerful content management system without testing things on your actual website. This is far better than trying to test new things on your website and finding out you completely changed something accidentally. \r\n\r\n','A Quick Guide to Installing WordPress with WAMP on your Windows Computer','','inherit','open','closed','','6480-revision-v1','','','2014-04-09 12:04:36','2014-04-09 16:04:36','',6480,'http://itxdesign.com/6480-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6489,1,'2014-04-09 12:07:07','2014-04-09 16:07:07','<h2>Should You be Using FFmpeg Hosting?</h2>\r\n<div id=\"full-underline\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"landing-text\">With so many different types of hosting out there, it can be difficult to understand which type is right for you.

Whether it comes as a part of your package or not, you can certainly get one for a reasonable price with most hosting companies.\r\n\r\n<b>Do you Need to Buy a Dedicated IP?</b>\r\n\r\nMany experts in the hosting industry and the SEO industry have debated the need for a dedicated IP for years. There are certainly advantages to using one and, as always, a few disadvantages.\r\n\r\n<b>What is a Dedicated IP and What does it do?</b>\r\n\r\nBefore you can fully understand what a dedicated IP is, you must first understand how an IP address works.\r\n\r\nAn IP address tells internet traffic where to go. It\'s similar to a zip code or a postal code, but for the internet.\r\n\r\nMost shared hosting accounts use a shared IP address. This means dozens of different websites are using the same IP address. This doesn\'t cause any issues with your websites because your hosting company will use software to properly interpret requests on the same IP.\r\n\r\nWhen you choose a dedicated IP address for your hosting account, you are the only one using it. You may serve multiple websites form that IP address, but you are in full control of it and you don\'t share it with other hosting accounts on the server.\r\n\r\n<b>How does a Dedicated IP Help with SEO?</b>\r\n\r\nSEO experts will argue two main points in favor of using a dedicated IP: one, better ranking and two, more site trust.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to your site\'s overall search engine optimization, becoming a trusted site in Google\'s eyes is very important. Even though there\'s no solid proof showing any true SEO benefit to using a dedicated IP, it\'s highly recommended by many SEO experts.\r\n\r\nSince Google does use IP addresses in their ranking algorithm, it can be helpful to use a dedicated IP for your websites. If you share the IP address and one of the sites you share it with isn\'t trusted by Google, it could change your ranking. This can also play a factor with sites linking to your site.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to spam, Google tends to distrust sites sharing an IP, if they share it with spammers or any sites violating their \"best practices.\" You cannot control which sites you share the IP with, but you can use a dedicated IP to ensure this isn\'t an issue.\r\n\r\nOf course, this is just a theory, as with many other things in the SEO industry. It\'s not clear cut because Google is better at keeping secrets than just about any other massive company on the planet.\r\n\r\n<b>Major Benefits of Using a Dedicated IP</b>\r\n\r\nSince the <a title=\"SEO boost site ranking\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/three-tips-to-help-you-boost-your-websites-search-engine-ranking-with-cutting-edge-link-building-strategies/\">SEO</a> benefits are not clear cut, we must look at a few of the major benefits you gain with a dedicated IP. This will help make the decision between spending the money or saving it for another part of your business. Some of the major benefits include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Control - You can do more with your hosting account with a dedicated IP.</li>\r\n	<li>Ability to host your own SSL certificate</li>\r\n	<li>Ability to run an FTP server from the IP address</li>\r\n	<li>Ability to run a gaming server from the IP address</li>\r\n	<li>Speeds up your load times some</li>\r\n	<li>Less overall downtime</li>\r\n	<li>Provides the ability to access your PC remotely</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are just a few of the many benefits of a dedicated IP address. It\'s not a requirement for your website, nor is it always necessary. However, a dedicated IP address does provide a few major benefits for your website and your hosting account.\r\n\r\n<b>Does ITX Design Offer Dedicated IP Address with Hosting Accounts?</b>\r\n\r\nITX Design can provide you with a dedicated IP address for any hosting account. The charge for this add-on is $2 per month. That\'s a small price to pay to get the many benefits provided from your own dedicated IP address.\r\n\r\nOnce you choose your hosting package and go through the registration process, just contact our support team with your requests. We will be happy to set up your dedicated IP address and ensure you can take advantage of all the benefits coming with this hosting option.','Dedicated IP','','inherit','open','closed','','6491-revision-v1','','','2014-04-09 15:47:39','2014-04-09 19:47:39','',6491,'http://itxdesign.com/6491-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6597,4,'2014-04-18 15:29:17','2014-04-18 19:29:17','Maybe you think your WordPress dashboard is a bit cluttered or isn\'t quite like you want it to be. There are plenty of ways you can customize what shows up in the edit screens, the color of your dashboard and many other parts of your WordPress admin area. Some of these settings will change per user and not across the entire blog, however. \r\n\r\n<h2>Adjusting the Screen Options</h2>\r\n\r\nOnce of the easiest ways to customize the WordPress admin area is with the screen options found in the both the page and post edit screens. It\'s found at the top right of the screen and provides a dropdown screen.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ScreenOptions1.png\" alt=\"Screen Options\" width=\"737\" height=\"207\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6598\" />\r\n\r\nIn this section, you will be able to adjust what shows up after the editor for your page or post. Some plugins will add additional options here. Just check the boxes next to the options you want to use and leave the ones you don\'t need unchecked.\r\n\r\nThis can also be done on the Comments Page. You can decide to show the Author and the In Response To on the screen. Along with these two options, you can decide how many comments you want to display per page. Just click the \"Screen Options\" section in the left top corner.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CommentsScreenOptions.png\" alt=\"Comments Screen Options\" width=\"703\" height=\"133\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6599\" />\r\n\r\n<h2>Changing the Color of your WordPress Dashboard</h2>\r\n\r\nAnother way you can customize the WordPress Admin area is by changing the color scheme. You can do this for each profile from the profile edit section. \r\n\r\nGo to <strong>Users &gt;&gt; All Users</strong> and select the profile you want to edit. You will see the following:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressAdminColorSetting.png\" alt=\"WordPress Admin Color Setting\" width=\"713\" height=\"196\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6600\" />\r\n\r\nAs soon as you click the radio button for a new color scheme, you will see it change in your dashboard. This allows you to preview the looks before you actually save your changes. \r\n\r\nChoose from eight different color schemes, which all come by default with WordPress.

You can have one page specifically dedicated to the archives for your categories, authors, tags, posts and more. Here\'s how you make this happen.\r\n<h2>How to Create a Custom Archives Page</h2>\r\nIt starts with creating our template for your custom archives page. You will need to open a new file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Name this new file <strong>page-archive.php</strong>. Now you will need to add the following lines to your new file:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6496\" alt=\"Custom Archives Template Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CustomArchivesTemplateCode.png\" width=\"247\" height=\"103\" />\r\n\r\nYou can upload this page into your WordPress theme folder and you will have an Archives page template. You may need to rename the file if it has the .txt on the end of it. Just click \"rename\" and delete the .txt part of the file name. However, we still need to add some code to this file to set up the template.\r\n\r\nStart by opening your page.php file and copy the code from this file. You can find this file in the folder for the theme you\'re using.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6497\" alt=\"Page Theme File\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PageThemeFile.png\" width=\"515\" height=\"166\" />\r\n\r\nOpen the file in the edit screen and copy the code from the below the header and paste it into your page-archive.php file. It should look something like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6498\" alt=\"Page Archives Pasted\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PageArchivesPasted.png\" width=\"483\" height=\"491\" />\r\n\r\nThis will ensure your page-archives.php template matches the rest of your site design.\r\n<h2>Using Your Custom Archives Page Template</h2>\r\nNow that you have created the page-archive.php file, you can use it within your WordPress Dashboard. Log in and go to <strong>Pages &gt;&gt; Add New</strong>. You can name this page \"Archives\" and you will need to select your new template from the Page Attributes menu.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6499\" alt=\"Archives Template In Page\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ArchivesTemplateInPage.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"309\" />\r\n\r\nWhen you publish this page, you will have a custom archives page for your WordPress blog. However, it won\'t have any of the necessary elements to make content show up.\r\n<h2>Adding Elements to Your Custom Archives Page</h2>\r\nThe easiest way to add the right elements to your Custom Archives Page is with the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/compact-archives/\">Compact Archives Plugin</a>. This plugin allows you to create more than just the default monthly archives.\r\n\r\nStart by installing and activating the plugin, and then add the following code to your custom archives page template (page-archives.php):\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6500\" alt=\"Compact Plugin Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CompactPluginCode.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"89\" />\r\n\r\nYour new Custom Archives Display will show your archived posts like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6501\" alt=\"Archives Page\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ArchivesPage.png\" width=\"411\" height=\"65\" />\r\n<h2>How to Add a List of Categories to Your Custom Archives Page</h2>\r\nAlong with displaying your archives by date, you can add a list of all your categories to your Custom Archives Page. Start by adding the following code to your page-archive.php template:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6504\" alt=\"Category Archives Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CategoryArchivesCode.png\" width=\"343\" height=\"99\" />\r\n\r\nBefore the code will work and category archives will show up, you will need to add the following code to your theme\'s style.css file:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6503\" alt=\"Style CSS Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/StyleCSSCode.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"509\" />\r\n\r\nIt will look like this after the code is inserted properly:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6502\" alt=\"Category Display\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CategoryDisplay.png\" width=\"567\" height=\"251\" />\r\n\r\nOther code can be used to add other custom things to your new archives page, such as a list of authors, recent posts, a list of pages, or a tag cloud. Here are the codes for all of these items:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>List of Authors</strong></p>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6505\" alt=\"List Of Authors Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ListOfAuthorsCode.png\" width=\"496\" height=\"28\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>List of Pages</strong></p>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6506\" alt=\"List Of Pages Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ListOfPagesCode.png\" width=\"310\" height=\"26\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Recent Posts</strong></p>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6507\" alt=\"Recent Posts Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/RecentPostsCode.png\" width=\"436\" height=\"27\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Tag Cloud</strong></p>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6508\" alt=\"Tag Cloud Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/TagCloudCode.png\" width=\"292\" height=\"39\" />\r\n\r\nYou can use these different snippets of code to customize your archives page to your specific needs.\r\n<h2>Why Should You Use a Custom Archives Page in WordPress</h2>\r\nThe main reason to create your custom archives page is to better organize your website. Even if you\'re very new to blogging with WordPress, this is a good idea. Image, after a few years of posting how the default archives will look in the sidebar. You will have a large amount of space taken up by the many months without your custom archives page.\r\n\r\nBy creating this new page, you can better organize your archives.

Even if you\'re very new to blogging with WordPress, this is a good idea. Image, after a few years of posting how the default archives will look in the sidebar. You will have a large amount of space taken up by the many months without your custom archives page.\r\n\r\nBy creating this new page, you can better organize your archives. You will only need to display a link to the archives page and nothing else. This makes it very easy for your visitors to find your older content.','Can you Create Custom Archives Pages for Your WordPress Blog?','','inherit','open','closed','','6495-revision-v1','','','2014-04-09 18:30:16','2014-04-09 22:30:16','',6495,'http://itxdesign.com/6495-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6511,4,'2014-04-09 18:21:07','2014-04-09 22:21:07','Creating a custom archives page for your WordPress blog can make it very easy to bring all your old content together on one page. You can have one page specifically dedicated to the archives for your categories, authors, tags, posts and more. Here\'s how you make this happen.\r\n<h2>How to Create a Custom Archives Page</h2>\r\nIt starts with creating our template for your custom archives page. You will need to open a new file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Name this new file <strong>page-archive.php</strong>. Now you will need to add the following lines to your new file:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6496\" alt=\"Custom Archives Template Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CustomArchivesTemplateCode.png\" width=\"247\" height=\"103\" />\r\n\r\nYou can upload this page into your WordPress theme folder and you will have an Archives page template. You may need to rename the file if it has the .txt on the end of it. Just click \"rename\" and delete the .txt part of the file name. However, we still need to add some code to this file to set up the template.\r\n\r\nStart by opening your page.php file and copy the code from this file. You can find this file in the folder for the theme you\'re using.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6497\" alt=\"Page Theme File\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PageThemeFile.png\" width=\"515\" height=\"166\" />\r\n\r\nOpen the file in the edit screen and copy the code from the below the header and paste it into your page-archive.php file. It should look something like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6498\" alt=\"Page Archives Pasted\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PageArchivesPasted.png\" width=\"483\" height=\"491\" />\r\n\r\nThis will ensure your page-archives.php template matches the rest of your site design.\r\n<h2>Using Your Custom Archives Page Template</h2>\r\nNow that you have created the page-archive.php file, you can use it within your WordPress Dashboard. Log in and go to <strong>Pages &gt;&gt; Add New</strong>. You can name this page \"Archives\" and you will need to select your new template from the Page Attributes menu.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6499\" alt=\"Archives Template In Page\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ArchivesTemplateInPage.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"309\" />\r\n\r\nWhen you publish this page, you will have a custom archives page for your WordPress blog. However, it won\'t have any of the necessary elements to make content show up.\r\n<h2>Adding Elements to Your Custom Archives Page</h2>\r\nThe easiest way to add the right elements to your Custom Archives Page is with the Compact Archives Plugin. This plugin allows you to create more than just the default monthly archives.\r\n\r\nStart by installing and activating the plugin, and then add the following code to your custom archives page template (page-archives.php):\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6500\" alt=\"Compact Plugin Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CompactPluginCode.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"89\" />\r\n\r\nYour new Custom Archives Display will show your archived posts like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6501\" alt=\"Archives Page\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ArchivesPage.png\" width=\"411\" height=\"65\" />\r\n<h2>How to Add a List of Categories to Your Custom Archives Page</h2>\r\nAlong with displaying your archives by date, you can add a list of all your categories to your Custom Archives Page.

Of course, this is only for testing and learning purposes, but it can be very helpful. The process isn\'t very difficult, but you will need WAMP to make this happen.\r\n<h2>What is WAMP?</h2>\r\nWampServer or WAMP is a compilation of MySQL, Apache web server and PHP. It\'s a bundled used for Windows computers and required to set up your own local server environment. If you want to install WordPress on your personal computer and you\'re running Windows, you will need WAMP or XAMPP, but WAMP is the recommended choice.\r\n<h2>How to Install WAMP on your PC</h2>\r\nYou will need to start by downloading the latest version of WAMP from the official website here: <a href=\"http://www.wampserver.com/en/\">WAMP Website</a>.\r\n\r\nMake sure you choose the right version, which will either be the 64-bit or 32-bit version of WAMP. If you\'re not sure which one is best for your system, choose the 32-bit because it will work with the 64-bit versions of Windows, as well.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6481\" alt=\"WAMP Download\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPDownload.png\" width=\"469\" height=\"121\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you have completed the download process, you will be ready to install WAMP on your PC. Just follow the on-screen instructions for the installation. You will be given an option to create a quick launch icon and/or a desktop icon. Choosing both will give you full convenience to find WAMP whenever you want to use it.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6482\" alt=\"WAMP Icon Creation\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPIconCreation.png\" width=\"504\" height=\"243\" />\r\n\r\nMake sure you choose the default web browser you use most. The program will default to Internet Explorer, so if you use Firefox or Google Chrome, you will need to make this change.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6483\" alt=\"Browser Change in WAMP\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/BrowserChangeinWAMP.png\" width=\"538\" height=\"78\" />\r\n\r\nAfter the installation is complete, you can launch WAMP.\r\n<h2>How to Set Up a WordPress Database with WAMP</h2>\r\nWAMP will give you phpMyAdmin with it, which makes it easy to manage the MySQL databases. You will need to launch the program by clicking on the WAMP icon in your Windows taskbar. Then, click the phpMyAdmin section.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6484\" alt=\"WAMP Icon PHP MyAdmin\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WAMPIconPHPMyAdmin.png\" width=\"249\" height=\"417\" />\r\n\r\nThis will open a new window in your browser and you will want to click on Databases.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6485\" alt=\"Databases\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Databases.png\" width=\"512\" height=\"58\" />\r\n\r\nFrom here, you can create a new database for WordPress and name it. Once you have selected a name, just click the \"create\" button.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6486\" alt=\"Create And Name Database\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CreateAndNameDatabase.png\" width=\"515\" height=\"160\" />\r\n\r\nNow, you are ready to install WordPress on your PC with WAMP.\r\n<h2>Installing WordPress on a Windows Computer with WAMP</h2>\r\nInstalling WordPress on your Windows computer requires downloading it from <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">WordPress.org</a>. Once you have downloaded WordPress, you will need to extract the .zip folder and copy the WordPress folder. You will want to paste the folder in the C:wampwww folder. You can rename the folder anything you want, such as TestSite or MySite.\r\n\r\nAt this point, you will get a message telling you the wp-config.php file could not be found. It will have a button that says \"Create a Configuration File\" and you want to click this button.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6487\" alt=\"Create Config File\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CreateConfigFile.png\" width=\"502\" height=\"146\" />\r\n\r\nThe next screen will allow you to enter the database you created earlier. You will also want to leave the username as \"root\" and the password as blank. Once you\'ve filled in this information, just click the \"submit\" button.\r\n\r\nYou should get a screen telling you that the configuration file has been created with a button for installing WordPress. Click the \"Run the install\" button and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you choose an admin username and password. If you have ever installed WordPress on a hosting account, this screen will look familiar to you.\r\n\r\nOnce you fill in the information, click the \"Install WordPress\" button and you will soon have WordPress installed on your Windows PC. After the program is done installing, you will get a success message and you can stat setting up WordPress.\r\n\r\nInstalling WordPress on your Windows PC with WAMP isn\'t very difficult. This can help with development of themes and plugins. For beginners, installing WordPress on your PC can allow you to learn all the different things you can do with this powerful content management system without testing things on your actual website. This is far better than trying to test new things on your website and finding out you completely changed something accidentally.','A Quick Guide to Installing WordPress with WAMP on your Windows Computer','','inherit','open','closed','','6480-revision-v1','','','2014-04-09 18:21:45','2014-04-09 22:21:45','',6480,'http://itxdesign.com/6480-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6854,1,'2014-05-05 12:41:46','2014-05-05 16:41:46','This post is a continuation from the first part of the <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/introduction-to-the-basic-wordpress-dashboard-part-one\">WordPress Dashboard Tutorial found here</a>. In this part, we will cover the rest of the tabs not covered in part one.\r\n<h2>An Introduction to the WordPress Dashboard Tabs, Continued</h2>\r\nContinuing were we left off, the Appearance Tab is up next.\r\n\r\n<strong>Appearance Tab</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Appearance Tab is another very important section, but you won\'t need to use it very often, once you\'ve set the look for your WordPress blog or website. It contains many sub-sections and each allows you do customize your site in a different way.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6789\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AppearanceTab.png\" alt=\"Appearance Tab\" width=\"160\" height=\"237\" />\r\n\r\nHere\'s a quick breakdown of all the sub-sections of the Appearance Tab in your WordPress dashboard.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Themes - This tab contains all your uploaded themes and allows you to add a new theme.</li>\r\n	<li>Customize - Here, you can customize the many parts of your theme and website.</li>\r\n	<li>Widgets - You can add widgets to the sidebars, footer, header and other areas associated with your theme through this section.</li>\r\n	<li>Menus - This section allows you to create and use custom menus for your blog.</li>\r\n	<li>Header - The header section allows you to upload a custom header and adjust the appearance of your header.</li>\r\n	<li>Background - You can add a custom color or image for your background here.</li>\r\n	<li>Editor - This section allows you to edit the actual code of each part of your WordPress site.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe sub-sections of this tab may change a little bit, depending on the theme you\'re using. Some themes will even create a tab of their own in your WordPress dashboard.\r\n\r\n<strong>Plugins Tab</strong>\r\n\r\nWithin the Plugins Tab, you will be able to install, activated, deactivate, edit and delete plugins. If you don\'t know how to install a plugin in WordPress, our WordPress Tutorial about <a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/installing-a-plugin-in-wordpress/\">Plugin Installation covers the process, here</a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6790\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PluginsTab.png\" alt=\"Plugins Tab\" width=\"163\" height=\"133\" />\r\n\r\nAlong with the \"Installed Plugins\" and the \"Add New\" sections you will also have an \"Editor\" section for your plugins. You should only use this section if you understand how to write code for WordPress plugins. If you don\'t, you won\'t need to use this section at all.\r\n\r\n<strong>Users Tab</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you need to add a new author, contributor, administrator or any other type of user, the Users Tab is the section you need to use.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UsersTab.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6791\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UsersTab.png\" alt=\"Users Tab\" width=\"162\" height=\"127\" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou can edit any user from the \"All Users\" section or add a new one from the \"Add New\" section. The \"Your Profile\" section will allow you to edit your own user profile.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tools Tab</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Tools Tab won\'t get much use, unless you install a plugin that creates a sub-section, here. It\'s mainly used for moving a WordPress website from one domain to another. However, some plugins will install a sub-section here or add a tool in this area of your WordPress Dashboard.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6792\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ToolsTab.png\" alt=\"Tools Tab\" width=\"162\" height=\"132\" />\r\n\r\nThree sub-sections come in the Tools Tab, by default. They are the \"Available Tools\", \"Import\" and \"Export\" sections. Any tools you have installed with show up in the \"Available Tools\" section, while the \"Import\" and \"Export\" sections will allow you to import and exports different items, such as posts, pages, RSS and other items.\r\n\r\n<strong>Settings Tab</strong>\r\n\r\nThe final tab found in your WordPress dashboard is the Settings Tab. This tab will grow with many new sub-sections as you install plugins. Most plugins will provide their settings menu in this section of your dashboard.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6793\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SettingsTab.png\" alt=\"Settings Tab\" width=\"162\" height=\"204\" />\r\n\r\nBy default, you will have the following sections:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>General - This section provides an editing screen for basic information, such as the site title, tagline, time zone, date format and more.</li>\r\n	<li>Writing - You can adjust how emoticons display, the default post category, default post format and other settings from this section.</li>\r\n	<li>Reading - In this section you can adjust the display of your front page, post page and other settings.</li>\r\n	<li>Discussion - This section allows you to change all your comment settings.</li>\r\n	<li>Media - The media section allows you to change the size of the images created, by default, when you upload a new image to WordPress.</li>\r\n	<li>Permalinks - In this section, you can change the way your URL displays for posts, pages, categories and more.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAlong with these default sections, you will see new sections from any plugins you install.\r\n\r\nNow you have a basic understanding of your WordPress dashboard.

Shared hosting packages usually don\'t provide the space or speed you need when using FFmpeg. VPS and dedicated hosting packages provide a much better option.You may want to start out with a VPS web hosting package and upgrade to dedicated, as needed.

It\'s a necessity for any blogger using WordPress.\r\n<h2>What Does FeedBurner Provide for Bloggers?</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-6451\" alt=\"Feedburner\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Feedburner.png\" width=\"260\" height=\"281\" /></p>\r\nThis free service provides plenty of great features for bloggers.

Any Gmail account will work for the FeedBurner service.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'re logged in, you will see a section that looks like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6452\" alt=\"Add FeedBurner Feed\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AddFeedBurnerFeed.png\" width=\"691\" height=\"114\" />\r\n\r\nSimply post your blog feed address into this section and click \"next.\" You will now get a screen like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6453\" alt=\"Naming Your Feed\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/NamingYourFeed.png\" width=\"509\" height=\"491\" />\r\n\r\nThis page will allow you to give your feed a title and a custom address. Once you\'ve filled these two sections in, click \"next.\" The next page will tell you the feed has been created and will give you the actual URL for your new RSS feed.\r\n\r\nFrom this screen, you can set up additional features, if you want or you can go directly to your feed management section.\r\n<h2>Optimizing Your FeedBurner RSS Feed</h2>\r\nNow, you will want to optimize your RSS Feed. This can be done from the feed management section and the \"Optimize\" tab.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6454\" alt=\"Optimize FeedBurner\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/OptimizeFeedBurner.png\" width=\"438\" height=\"220\" />\r\n\r\nMake sure to activate the Browser Friendly option, FeedFlare option and the Smart Feed option. You can active other options, as well, but these three are the most important.\r\n<h2>Publicizing Your FeedBurner RSS Feed</h2>\r\nNext, you will want to use the Publicize option to add even more to your RSS feed. This option will allow your feed to be shard easier and will give you a subscriber count to show off.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6455\" alt=\"Publicize FeedBurner\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PublicizeFeedBurner.png\" width=\"729\" height=\"480\" />\r\n\r\nYou want to make sure to turn on the Email Subscriptions, PingShot and FeedCount options. You can also turn on other options, if you want.\r\n<h2>Monetizing Your Feed</h2>\r\nIf you have a Google AdSense Account, you will have a monetization option for your FeedBurner Feeds. All you have to do is activate this section and configure your ads. However, if you don\'t have Google AdSense, you will need to fill out an application and receive an approval before you can set this up.\r\n<h2>FeedBurner Analyze</h2>\r\nThe other section found within FeedBurner is called \"Analyze.\" This section will allow you to see the stats for your feed. It will take about 24 hours for stats to start showing up, but once they do, you can track how your feeds are performing from this section.\r\n<h2>Integrating Your Feed with WordPress</h2>\r\nAfter setting up your FeedBurner RSS Feed, you need to integrate it with WordPress. You want to start by creating a redirect for your default feed, which is usually, yourdomain.com/feed/. Use FD FeedBurner to set this up very easily. It can also be done in your .htaccess file, but it\'s much easier with the plugin.\r\n\r\nMany of the themes found for WordPress come with FeedBurner integration already built-in. However, if your theme doesn\'t have this built in, you can use the FeedBurner Email Subscription Plugin.\r\n\r\nIf your theme does have it built in, you will need to get the code from the <strong>Publicize &gt;&gt; Email Subscription</strong> in FeedBurner. Once you have this code, you just need to enter it into the Widget or area designated for the code.\r\n\r\nWhether you use the integration from your WordPress theme or you use the plugin to create a subscriber box, using FeedBurner is necessary for all WordPress bloggers.','How to Setup FeedBurner for Your WordPress Blog','','inherit','open','closed','','6450-revision-v1','','','2014-04-10 09:04:17','2014-04-10 13:04:17','',6450,'http://itxdesign.com/6450-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6517,1,'2014-04-10 09:04:27','2014-04-10 13:04:27','One of the most powerful tools you can add to your WordPress arsenal is Google Analytics. This is by far the best free tracking tool you will find online today. It\'s very easy to install on your WordPress blog, as well.\r\n<h2>Why Should Bloggers Use Google Analytics?</h2>\r\nTracking is one of the most important things for any website or blog. If you don\'t know where your traffic is coming from and how people are finding you, it\'s hard to target your marketing better. Here are a few of the things you will be able to do with Google Analytics.\r\n\r\n<strong>Understand Where Your Visitors Come From</strong>\r\n\r\nWith Google Analytics you will know where your audience is coming from, which browser they are using and the screen resolution they are using. You will also know what language they are browsing in, wither they use Flash or JavaScript and many other important things.\r\n\r\nThis information makes it easy to adjust your website to fit the majority of your visitors. You can cater to one browser or another, if you see a large portion of your visitors using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. This information is priceless and will allow you to better target your audience.\r\n\r\n<strong>Know When People are Visiting</strong>\r\n\r\nUnderstanding the day of the week and the time of day that your visitors show up at your website can help you make adjustments, as well. This can help with scheduling your posts to go live during the busiest times and it can help with advertising, as well.\r\n\r\n<strong>Where they Go and Where they Came From</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you know where a visitor found your site and where they went once they entered your site, you can better understand what they are doing. This can help you create better content more suited to your audience and make other important adjustments.\r\n<h2>Signing Up for Google Analytics</h2>\r\nGoogle Analytics is a free tool and you can easily sign up by going to the <a href=\"http://www.google.com/analytics/\">Google Analytics Signup Page</a>. If you already have a Google account, the page will look like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6460\" alt=\"Google Analytics Sign Up\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/GoogleAnalyticsSignUp.png\" width=\"449\" height=\"515\" />\r\n\r\nJust enter your password and follow the instructions. Once you complete the process, you will be able to integrate the Google Analytics tools with WordPress.\r\n<h2>How to Add Google Analytics to Your WordPress Blog</h2>\r\nThe easiest way to install Google Analytics is with the plugin. This is the best way for beginners to use this tool with WordPress. However, advanced users can either use the functions.php method or the direct paste method.\r\n\r\nIf you\'re a beginner, you shouldn\'t try to use the direct paste or functions.php method. The plugin method will take care of everything you need and it\'s far easier, if you don\'t understand how to write code.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Plugin Method</strong>\r\n\r\nThe best plugin for the job is called <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/\">Google Analytics for WordPress</a>. You can either search for the plugin inside your WordPress dashboard or download it and upload it in the <strong>Plugins &gt;&gt; Add New &gt;&gt; Upload</strong> section.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6461\" alt=\"Google Analytics For WordPress\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/GoogleAnalyticsForWordPress.png\" width=\"550\" height=\"302\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you install and activate the plugin, you will see a box pop up asking you to \"Help improve Google Analytics for WordPress\" and you want to click the \"Allow Tracking\" button.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6462\" alt=\"Allow Tracking\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AllowTracking.png\" width=\"312\" height=\"228\" />\r\n\r\nNext, you will need to access the settings from the <strong>Settings &gt;&gt; Google Analytics</strong> section in your dashboard.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6463\" alt=\"Settings Google Analytics\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SettingsGoogleAnalytics.png\" width=\"160\" height=\"259\" />\r\n\r\nIn this section, you will see a blue button that will allow you to automatically authenticate your Google Analytics account. Just click this button and click the \"Allow Access\" button on the next page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6464\" alt=\"Authenticate Google Analytics\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/AuthenticateGoogleAnalytics.png\" width=\"681\" height=\"207\" />\r\n\r\nIf you need to enter your UA code manually, you can check the box.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6465\" alt=\"Enter UA Code Manually\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/EnterUACodeManually.png\" width=\"430\" height=\"231\" />\r\n\r\nAfter you have authorized Google Analytics, you can select the profile from your account for your WordPress blog.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6466\" alt=\"Select Google Analytics Profile\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SelectGoogleAnalyticsProfile.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"82\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve adjusted any of the other settings you need to change, just click the \"Update Google Analytics Settings\" button.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6467\" alt=\"Update Google Analytics Settings\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UpdateGoogleAnalyticsSettings.png\" width=\"420\" height=\"122\" />\r\n\r\nThat\'s all it takes to connect Google Analytics with your WordPress blog. It will take between 24 and 48 hours for data to start showing up inside the dashboard of your Google Analytics account.','A Beginner\'s Guide to Installing Google Analytics in WordPress','','inherit','open','closed','','6459-revision-v1','','','2014-04-10 09:04:27','2014-04-10 13:04:27','',6459,'http://itxdesign.com/6459-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6518,1,'2014-04-10 09:04:40','2014-04-10 13:04:40','Social media has been growing faster than just about anything else on the internet, which means you need to be able to leverage it for your WordPress blog. The best way to leverage sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and the any others is with your own customized short URL.\r\n\r\nWithout your own shortened URL, you may end up sharing something automatic whenever you share your blog. However, the right short URL can draw attention, allow for branding and make it easier to share your WordPress blog.\r\n<h2>Step #1 - Buy a Short URL</h2>\r\nSince many blogs have a longer URL, even if it\'s just a company name or your personal name, it\'s hard to share it on social sites. However, you can purchase a short URL by using one of the odd extensions as a part of the name. These shorter URLs are quite creative, but you can find them with a tool called <a href=\"https://domai.nr/\">Domai.nr</a>.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6470\" alt=\"Domainr\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Domainr.png\" width=\"732\" height=\"360\" />\r\n\r\nJust type the world you want to create your short URL with and this tool will try to find the right extension to create your URL. After you\'ve done this, you can register your URL with GoDaddy or with a new hosting account from ITX Design.\r\n<h2>Step #2 - Bit.ly Tracking</h2>\r\nAnother way to create your shortened URL is with bit.ly. Not only is this a free tool, but it will also provide tracking for your shortened URL. Start by signing up for a <a href=\"https://bitly.com/\">Bit.ly account</a>.\r\n\r\nOnce you\'ve logged in, just click the Settings link found under your username in the right corner.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6477\" alt=\"Bitly\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Bitly1.png\" width=\"235\" height=\"229\" />\r\n\r\nNow, click the advanced tab and use this section to set up tracking for your shortened URL.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6474\" alt=\"Bitly Advanced\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/BitlyAdvanced.png\" width=\"480\" height=\"98\" />\r\n<h2>Step #3 - Adding Your Site to Bit.ly</h2>\r\nNow, you will need to change the DNS record of your shortened URL. This can be one with the Custom Short Domain option found in bit.ly. Click on either \"Personal\" or \"Business\" and add your custom short domain on the next page.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6472\" alt=\"Personal Or Business Bitly\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PersonalOrBusinessBitly.png\" width=\"424\" height=\"173\" />\r\n\r\nFollow the instructions on this page for setting up your DNS, as well.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6473\" alt=\"Setting Up Your DNS Bitly\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SettingUpYourDNSBitly.png\" width=\"290\" height=\"380\" />\r\n\r\nNow, you just have to wait for the verification process, which can take up to 48 hours.

Whether you want to be the administrator for a game or you just want to play with the best experience you need the right game server hosting.\n\nChoosing the right hosting is hard enough, let alone choosing hosting for a new game. Many games have specific requirements or they won\'t run properly. The best experience requires the right server and the right hosting company to support the server. Here are five important factors you must consider when searching for the right hosting for your game.\n\n<b>The Server</b>\n\nShared and VPS hosting won\'t work for most games. Problems will seem to never stop, as you experience the slow load times and the downtime associated with shared game hosting. The problem with this type of hosting is the bandwidth limit and the limited resources you receive. It may work okay for a few weeks, but once you eclipse your bandwidth limit, it won\'t run any longer.\n\nVPS hosting is a little better, but doesn\'t provide enough space or bandwidth for some games. Again, you will be sharing a server, so you don\'t gain full access to the resources. Both shared and VPS hosting don\'t provide the necessary security for gamers, either.\n\nThe right server for gaming is a dedicated server. This type of server will allow you to customize the security and use all the resources for your game. You won\'t have to worry about lag time or running out of bandwidth with a good dedicated server.\n\n<b>Server Monitoring</b>\n\nYou can purchase your own dedicated server and monitor it yourself, but you have to sleep at some point. A managed <a title=\"dedicated servers\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/dedicated-servers/\">dedicated server</a> provides a better option for gamers. This type of server allows you to sleep easy knowing your server is monitored around the clock.\n\nWhen you choose a managed dedicated server from a professional hosting company, they will provide a team of professionals to monitor your server every hour of every day. This benefit alone makes a managed dedicated server perfect for gaming.\n\n<b>Technical Support</b>\n\nAlong with server monitoring, you need amazing technical support from a game server hosting company. This is vital to your overall success. There\'s nothing worse than running into an issue you can\'t solve with nobody to turn to for help.\n\nWith the right technical support, you\'ll never be alone. You will be able to contact the support team at any minute and get answers to your questions. This is a vital part of any hosting decision, especially hosting for gamers.\n\n<b>Upgrade Options</b>\n\nWhat if you decide you want to add to the game or you want to add another game to your hosting? Some dedicated hosting companies only offer one size server. This means, you will need to switch companies if you need to upgrade.\n\nDedicated hosting companies with multiple server options work better for gamers. If you need more resources for any reason whatsoever, the transition to a larger server will go smoothly. Usually, the support team will take care of moving everything for you with the least downtime possible. Game server hosting requires multiple server options.\n\n<b>Cost</b>\n\nOf course, your budget plays a role in the overall decision for game hosting. You need to be able to afford the server, but you don\'t want go get stuck with bad hosting. Cheap dedicated server hosting typically doesn\'t work well for gamers because of the lack of support and outdated technology.\n\nYou don\'t have to break the bank to get the best managed <a title=\"dedicated servers\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/dedicated-servers/\">dedicated game server</a>, however. Just make sure the company you choose offers an affordable price, along with the best possible support on the planet.\n\n<b>Why Choose ITX Design for Your Game Server Hosting?</b>\n\nITX Design has emerged as one of the top hosting choices for shared, VPS, reseller and <a title=\"dedicated servers\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/dedicated-servers/\">dedicated hosting</a> options.

Contact our support team today and let us recommend the right dedicated server package for your specific needs.\n\n<b>What is the Best Game Server For Your Needs?</b>\n\nGamers need the right equipment and technology or it can cause many issues with their games. Whether you love to play or you prefer to provide games, you may need a game server.\n\n<b>What is a Game Server?</b>\n\nA game server is simply the computer that houses all the information for a multiplayer video game. It may be used for tournaments or other events. The server must be able to transmit enough date to allow multiple clients to connect, maintain their own versions of the game and play whenever they want.\n\n<b>Types of Game Servers</b>\n\nGame servers come in three main types including:\n<ul>\n	<li><i>Dedicated Server</i> - This type of game server provides the most advantages because it has superior security and resources. A dedicated game server allows all the players to connect with separate clients programs to play an interactive game. They are often provided, maintained and monitored by a professional hosting company.</li>\n	<li><i>Listen Server</i> - A listen server is a bit difference, but does function much like a dedicated server. However, they run in the same process as the game client does. These servers must also communicate with players through a residential internet connection. They don\'t always support upload requirements of some games and there\'s a player limit of 16 players, usually.</li>\n	<li><i>Peer-to-Peer</i> - This type of game server has a number of disadvantages and is considered obsolete for any games with heavy action. However, peer-to-peer is still used for many games because of cost.</li>\n</ul>\nThese three types of game servers can help with any gaming experience, but only one can be the best. Dedicated servers work best for gaming because they provide the most secure environment, fastest connections and the best overall experience for all the players.\n\n<b>Why Should You Choose a Dedicated Gaming Server?</b>\n\nOne of the major fears in the gaming industry is downtime. This happens for a number of reasons. However, gamers may experience this when they run out of bandwidth. This happens when a game is run on the wrong type of server or a server too small for the specific game.\n\nOften, downtime is the result of reaching your bandwidth limit with a shared, VPS or smaller dedicated hosting plan.

Whether you want to be the administrator for a game or you just want to play with the best experience you need the right game server hosting.\r\n\r\nChoosing the right hosting is hard enough, let alone choosing hosting for a new game. Many games have specific requirements or they won\'t run properly. The best experience requires the right server and the right hosting company to support the server. Here are five important factors you must consider when searching for the right hosting for your game.\r\n\r\n<b>The Server</b>\r\n\r\nShared and VPS hosting won\'t work for most games. Problems will seem to never stop, as you experience the slow load times and the downtime associated with shared game hosting. The problem with this type of hosting is the bandwidth limit and the limited resources you receive. It may work okay for a few weeks, but once you eclipse your bandwidth limit, it won\'t run any longer.\r\n\r\nVPS hosting is a little better, but doesn\'t provide enough space or bandwidth for some games. Again, you will be sharing a server, so you don\'t gain full access to the resources. Both shared and VPS hosting don\'t provide the necessary security for gamers, either.\r\n\r\nThe right server for gaming is a dedicated server. This type of server will allow you to customize the security and use all the resources for your game. You won\'t have to worry about lag time or running out of bandwidth with a good dedicated server.\r\n\r\n<b>Server Monitoring</b>\r\n\r\nYou can purchase your own dedicated server and monitor it yourself, but you have to sleep at some point. A managed <a title=\"dedicated servers\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/dedicated-servers/\">dedicated server</a> provides a better option for gamers. This type of server allows you to sleep easy knowing your server is monitored around the clock.\r\n\r\nWhen you choose a managed dedicated server from a professional hosting company, they will provide a team of professionals to monitor your server every hour of every day. This benefit alone makes a managed dedicated server perfect for gaming.\r\n\r\n<b>Technical Support</b>\r\n\r\nAlong with server monitoring, you need amazing technical support from a game server hosting company. This is vital to your overall success. There\'s nothing worse than running into an issue you can\'t solve with nobody to turn to for help.\r\n\r\nWith the right technical support, you\'ll never be alone. You will be able to contact the support team at any minute and get answers to your questions. This is a vital part of any hosting decision, especially hosting for gamers.\r\n\r\n<b>Upgrade Options</b>\r\n\r\nWhat if you decide you want to add to the game or you want to add another game to your hosting? Some dedicated hosting companies only offer one size server. This means, you will need to switch companies if you need to upgrade.\r\n\r\nDedicated hosting companies with multiple server options work better for gamers. If you need more resources for any reason whatsoever, the transition to a larger server will go smoothly. Usually, the support team will take care of moving everything for you with the least downtime possible. Game server hosting requires multiple server options.\r\n\r\n<b>Cost</b>\r\n\r\nOf course, your budget plays a role in the overall decision for game hosting. You need to be able to afford the server, but you don\'t want go get stuck with bad hosting. Cheap dedicated server hosting typically doesn\'t work well for gamers because of the lack of support and outdated technology.\r\n\r\nYou don\'t have to break the bank to get the best managed <a title=\"dedicated servers\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/dedicated-servers/\">dedicated game server</a>, however.

Whether you love to play or you prefer to provide games, you may need a game server.\r\n\r\n<b>What is a Game Server?</b>\r\n\r\nA game server is simply the computer that houses all the information for a multiplayer video game. It may be used for tournaments or other events. The server must be able to transmit enough date to allow multiple clients to connect, maintain their own versions of the game and play whenever they want.\r\n\r\n<b>Types of Game Servers</b>\r\n\r\nGame servers come in three main types including:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><i>Dedicated Server</i> - This type of game server provides the most advantages because it has superior security and resources. A dedicated game server allows all the players to connect with separate clients programs to play an interactive game. They are often provided, maintained and monitored by a professional hosting company.</li>\r\n	<li><i>Listen Server</i> - A listen server is a bit difference, but does function much like a dedicated server. However, they run in the same process as the game client does. These servers must also communicate with players through a residential internet connection. They don\'t always support upload requirements of some games and there\'s a player limit of 16 players, usually.</li>\r\n	<li><i>Peer-to-Peer</i> - This type of game server has a number of disadvantages and is considered obsolete for any games with heavy action. However, peer-to-peer is still used for many games because of cost.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese three types of game servers can help with any gaming experience, but only one can be the best. Dedicated servers work best for gaming because they provide the most secure environment, fastest connections and the best overall experience for all the players.\r\n\r\n<b>Why Should You Choose a Dedicated Gaming Server?</b>\r\n\r\nOne of the major fears in the gaming industry is downtime. This happens for a number of reasons. However, gamers may experience this when they run out of bandwidth. This happens when a game is run on the wrong type of server or a server too small for the specific game.\r\n\r\nOften, downtime is the result of reaching your bandwidth limit with a shared, VPS or smaller dedicated hosting plan. However, if you choose the right dedicated server for your specific gaming needs, this will never be an issue.\r\n\r\nMany gamers won\'t even consider a dedicated server because of the higher cost of maintenance and the actual server. However, this cost can be offset by choosing a managed dedicated server from a professional hosting company. Even a managed dedicated server comes at a higher cost than shared or VPS hosting, however.\r\n\r\n<b>Benefits of a Dedicated Server for Gaming</b>\r\n\r\nDedicated servers provide plenty of benefits for a number of applications.

The main reason behind the extension is to offer more possibilities for the same domain name, with a different extension. For GoDaddy, this means the possibility of selling another type of domain name to their customers.\r\n\r\nThe end consumer now has the ability to get their domain name with a .co extension instead of the .com extension. However, it\'s important to understand the difference and how one may benefit you more than the other.\r\n\r\n<h3>.com vs .co Differences</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/com-vs-co-meanings2.jpg\" alt=\"com vs co meanings\" width=\"930\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6551\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;\" /><div style=\"text-align: center;\">[one_half]<h4>What is a .com Domain Extension?</h3>\r\nAs the most recognizable domain extension, .com stands for commercial. Some may say it stands for computer or for commerce, but it was created with the intent or representing commercial websites.  It is also the most popular with over 100 million registered domains.  [/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>What is a .co Domain Name Extension?</h3>\r\nThe .co domain extension is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Colombia. However, there are no restrictions on who can register second level .co domains, and it has become widely accepted as an international domain representing \"company\" or \"corporation\".  [/one_half_last]</div>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 26px\">The Major Differences Between the .com and the .co Domain Extensions</h3>\r\nThere are some key differences you must consider when looking at a domain name with either the .com or the .co extension. Both provide benefits, but they are quite different.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/com-vs-co-popularity.jpg\" alt=\"com vs co popularity\" width=\"350\" height=\"323\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6546\" />The .com extension is the most popular and the one most internet users default to. When advertising a company offline and online, you don\'t have to be quite as creative with advertising your website if it\'s a .com. Most people will assume you\'re using this extension and will try to find you by typing in your company name and the .com extension.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you\'re using the .co extension, you may have to place more emphasis on this. O.co has done a great job of branding the .co extension and it just makes sense their company. O.com doesn\'t have the same ring to it as O.co.\r\n\r\nAnother key difference is the way the domain name will rank. There has been quite a bit of debate about how the .co ranks in search engines compared to the .com.\r\n\r\nGoogle doesn\'t place any priority on the .co domain extension and still prefers the .com. However, it\'s still possible to rank high with a .co extension, with good SEO. Just don\'t expect to outrank the same domain, with the same SEO and a .com extension.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at country domain extensions, the .co is often used, such as with .co.uk and .co.in. These extensions are used to tell the internet user that the website belongs to a company in that specific country.\r\n\r\nHowever, this also causes some confusion. The fact that over 20 countries use the .co extension and the Canada extension, .ca, is very close to it, many people confuse .co as a different country. This can be a disadvantage when using the .co.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n[one_half]<h4>Why Choose the .com Domain Extension?</h4>\r\nThe most widely used and recognized, the .com is the legacy of domain extensions.

It provides the most value in marketing and in monetary value, as well.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>Why Choose the .co Domain Extension?</h4>\r\nThe main reason you may choose the .co extension is availability. It\'s also a short domain extension and provides a bit of a cutting-edge appeal.  It is also perfect for companies based in Columbia.[/one_half_last]</div>\r\n\r\n<h3>Why is the .co more Expensive?</h3>\r\nThe .co domain extension is more expensive than the .com, but they are both very affordable. The reason for the higher price is to deter domain name buyers from purchasing domains with the .co extension in bulk and not using them. This has become a problem with .com domain names and the higher price helps to make more .co domain names remain available.\r\n\r\n<h3>Buying Your Domain Name and Starting Your Website</h3>\r\nWhether you choose to buy the .com, the .co or both, you need hosting to start your website. A parked domain name won\'t do much for you, but with the right hosting, you can turn it into a functional website.\r\n\r\nAt ITX Design, we provide a variety of hosting packages to fit your needs once you decide between .com vs. .co.

Most people will assume you\'re using this extension and will try to find you by typing in your company name and the .com extension.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you\'re using the .co extension, you may have to place more emphasis on this. O.co has done a great job of branding the .co extension and it just makes sense their company. O.com doesn\'t have the same ring to it as O.co.\r\n\r\nAnother key difference is the way the domain name will rank. There has been quite a bit of debate about how the .co ranks in search engines compared to the .com.\r\n\r\nGoogle doesn\'t place any priority on the .co domain extension and still prefers the .com. However, it\'s still possible to rank high with a .co extension, with good SEO. Just don\'t expect to outrank the same domain, with the same SEO and a .com extension.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at country domain extensions, the .co is often used, such as with .co.uk and .co.in. These extensions are used to tell the internet user that the website belongs to a company in that specific country.\r\n\r\nHowever, this also causes some confusion. The fact that over 20 countries use the .co extension and the Canada extension, .ca, is very close to it, many people confuse .co as a different country. This can be a disadvantage when using the .co.\r\n\r\n<h3>Why Choose the .com Domain Extension?</h3>\r\nThe most widely used and recognized, the .com is the legacy of domain extensions. Whenever possible, you want to use the .com for your website. It provides the most value in marketing and in monetary value, as well.\r\n\r\n<h3>Why Choose the .co Domain Extension?</h3>\r\nThe main reason you may choose the .co extension is availability. It\'s also a short domain extension and provides a bit of a cutting-edge appeal.\r\n\r\n<h3>Why is the .co more Expensive?</h3>\r\nThe .co domain extension is more expensive than the .com, but they are both very affordable. The reason for the higher price is to deter domain name buyers from purchasing domains with the .co extension in bulk and not using them. This has become a problem with .com domain names and the higher price helps to make more .co domain names remain available.\r\n\r\n<h3>Buying Your Domain Name and Starting Your Website</h3>\r\nWhether you choose to buy the .com, the .co or both, you need hosting to start your website. A parked domain name won\'t do much for you, but with the right hosting, you can turn it into a functional website.\r\n\r\nAt ITX Design, we provide a variety of hosting packages to fit your needs once you decide between .com vs. .co.

Both provide benefits, but they are quite different.\r\n\r\nThe .com extension is the most popular and the one most internet users default to. When advertising a company offline and online, you don\'t have to be quite as creative with advertising your website if it\'s a .com. Most people will assume you\'re using this extension and will try to find you by typing in your company name and the .com extension.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you\'re using the .co extension, you may have to place more emphasis on this. O.co has done a great job of branding the .co extension and it just makes sense their company. O.com doesn\'t have the same ring to it as O.co.\r\n\r\nAnother key difference is the way the domain name will rank. There has been quite a bit of debate about how the .co ranks in search engines compared to the .com.\r\n\r\nGoogle doesn\'t place any priority on the .co domain extension and still prefers the .com. However, it\'s still possible to rank high with a .co extension, with good SEO. Just don\'t expect to outrank the same domain, with the same SEO and a .com extension.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at country domain extensions, the .co is often used, such as with .co.uk and .co.in. These extensions are used to tell the internet user that the website belongs to a company in that specific country.\r\n\r\nHowever, this also causes some confusion. The fact that over 20 countries use the .co extension and the Canada extension, .ca, is very close to it, many people confuse .co as a different country. This can be a disadvantage when using the .co.\r\n\r\n<h3>Why Choose the .com Domain Extension?</h3>\r\nThe most widely used and recognized, the .com is the legacy of domain extensions. Whenever possible, you want to use the .com for your website. It provides the most value in marketing and in monetary value, as well.\r\n\r\n<h3>Why Choose the .co Domain Extension?</h3>\r\nThe main reason you may choose the .co extension is availability. It\'s also a short domain extension and provides a bit of a cutting-edge appeal.\r\n\r\n<h3>Why is the .co more Expensive?</h3>\r\nThe .co domain extension is more expensive than the .com, but they are both very affordable. The reason for the higher price is to deter domain name buyers from purchasing domains with the .co extension in bulk and not using them. This has become a problem with .com domain names and the higher price helps to make more .co domain names remain available.\r\n\r\n<h3>Buying Your Domain Name and Starting Your Website</h3>\r\nWhether you choose to buy the .com, the .co or both, you need hosting to start your website.

When advertising a company offline and online, you don\'t have to be quite as creative with advertising your website if it\'s a .com. Most people will assume you\'re using this extension and will try to find you by typing in your company name and the .com extension.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you\'re using the .co extension, you may have to place more emphasis on this. O.co has done a great job of branding the .co extension and it just makes sense their company. O.com doesn\'t have the same ring to it as O.co.\r\n\r\nAnother key difference is the way the domain name will rank. There has been quite a bit of debate about how the .co ranks in search engines compared to the .com.\r\n\r\nGoogle doesn\'t place any priority on the .co domain extension and still prefers the .com. However, it\'s still possible to rank high with a .co extension, with good SEO. Just don\'t expect to outrank the same domain, with the same SEO and a .com extension.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at country domain extensions, the .co is often used, such as with .co.uk and .co.in. These extensions are used to tell the internet user that the website belongs to a company in that specific country.\r\n\r\nHowever, this also causes some confusion. The fact that over 20 countries use the .co extension and the Canada extension, .ca, is very close to it, many people confuse .co as a different country. This can be a disadvantage when using the .co.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n[one_half]<h4>Why Choose the .com Domain Extension?</h4>\r\nThe most widely used and recognized, the .com is the legacy of domain extensions.

The reason for the higher price is to deter domain name buyers from purchasing domains with the .co extension in bulk and not using them. This has become a problem with .com domain names and the higher price helps to make more .co domain names remain available.\r\n\r\n<h3>Buying Your Domain Name and Starting Your Website</h3>\r\nWhether you choose to buy the .com, the .co or both, you need hosting to start your website. A parked domain name won\'t do much for you, but with the right hosting, you can turn it into a functional website.\r\n\r\nAt ITX Design, we provide a variety of hosting packages to fit your needs once you decide between .com vs. .co.

The main reason behind the extension is to offer more possibilities for the same domain name, with a different extension. For GoDaddy, this means the possibility of selling another type of domain name to their customers.\r\n\r\nThe end consumer now has the ability to get their domain name with a .co extension instead of the .com extension. However, it\'s important to understand the difference and how one may benefit you more than the other.\r\n\r\n<h3>.com vs .co Differences</h3>\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/com-vs-co-meanings2.jpg\" alt=\"com vs co meanings\" width=\"930\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6551\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;\" /><div style=\"text-align: center;\">[one_half]<h4>What is a .com Domain Extension?</h3>\r\nAs the most recognizable domain extension, .com stands for commercial. Some may say it stands for computer or for commerce, but it was created with the intent or representing commercial websites.  It is also the most popular with over 100 million registered domains.  [/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>What is a .co Domain Name Extension?</h3>\r\nThe .co domain extension is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Colombia. However, there are no restrictions on who can register second level .co domains, and it has become widely accepted as an international domain representing \"company\" or \"corporation\".  [/one_half_last]</div>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 26px\">The Major Differences Between the .com and the .co Domain Extensions</h3>\r\nThere are some key differences you must consider when looking at a domain name with either the .com or the .co extension. Both provide benefits, but they are quite different.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/com-vs-co-popularity.jpg\" alt=\"com vs co popularity\" width=\"350\" height=\"323\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6546\" />The .com extension is the most popular and the one most internet users default to. When advertising a company offline and online, you don\'t have to be quite as creative with advertising your website if it\'s a .com. Most people will assume you\'re using this extension and will try to find you by typing in your company name and the .com extension.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you\'re using the .co extension, you may have to place more emphasis on this. O.co has done a great job of branding the .co extension and it just makes sense their company. O.com doesn\'t have the same ring to it as O.co.\r\n\r\nAnother key difference is the way the domain name will rank. There has been quite a bit of debate about how the .co ranks in search engines compared to the .com.\r\n\r\nGoogle doesn\'t place any priority on the .co domain extension and still prefers the .com. However, it\'s still possible to rank high with a .co extension, with good SEO. Just don\'t expect to outrank the same domain, with the same SEO and a .com extension.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at country domain extensions, the .co is often used, such as with .co.uk and .co.in. These extensions are used to tell the internet user that the website belongs to a company in that specific country.\r\n\r\nHowever, this also causes some confusion. The fact that over 20 countries use the .co extension and the Canada extension, .ca, is very close to it, many people confuse .co as a different country. This can be a disadvantage when using the .co.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n[one_half]<h4>Why Choose the .com Domain Extension?</h4>\r\nThe most widely used and recognized, the .com is the legacy of domain extensions. Whenever possible, you want to use the .com for your website. It provides the most value in marketing and in monetary value, as well.[/one_half][one_half_last]<h4>Why Choose the .co Domain Extension?</h4>\r\nThe main reason you may choose the .co extension is availability. It\'s also a short domain extension and provides a bit of a cutting-edge appeal.

You can have one page specifically dedicated to the archives for your categories, authors, tags, posts and more. Here\'s how you make this happen.\n<h2>How to Create a Custom Archives Page</h2>\nIt starts with creating our template for your custom archives page. You will need to open a new file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Name this new file <strong>page-archive.php</strong>. Now you will need to add the following lines to your new file:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6496\" alt=\"Custom Archives Template Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CustomArchivesTemplateCode.png\" width=\"247\" height=\"103\" />\n\nYou can upload this page into your WordPress theme folder and you will have an Archives page template. You may need to rename the file if it has the .txt on the end of it. Just click \"rename\" and delete the .txt part of the file name. However, we still need to add some code to this file to set up the template.\n\nStart by opening your page.php file and copy the code from this file. You can find this file in the folder for the theme you\'re using.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6497\" alt=\"Page Theme File\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PageThemeFile.png\" width=\"515\" height=\"166\" />\n\nOpen the file in the edit screen and copy the code from the below the header and paste it into your page-archive.php file. It should look something like this:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6498\" alt=\"Page Archives Pasted\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/PageArchivesPasted.png\" width=\"483\" height=\"491\" />\n\nThis will ensure your page-archives.php template matches the rest of your site design.\n<h2>Using Your Custom Archives Page Template</h2>\nNow that you have created the page-archive.php file, you can use it within your WordPress Dashboard. Log in and go to <strong>Pages &gt;&gt; Add New</strong>. You can name this page \"Archives\" and you will need to select your new template from the Page Attributes menu.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6499\" alt=\"Archives Template In Page\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ArchivesTemplateInPage.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"309\" />\n\nWhen you publish this page, you will have a custom archives page for your WordPress blog. However, it won\'t have any of the necessary elements to make content show up.\n<h2>Adding Elements to Your Custom Archives Page</h2>\nThe easiest way to add the right elements to your Custom Archives Page is with the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/compact-archives/\">Compact Archives Plugin</a>. This plugin allows you to create more than just the default monthly archives.\n\nStart by installing and activating the plugin, and then add the following code to your custom archives page template (page-archives.php):\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6500\" alt=\"Compact Plugin Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CompactPluginCode.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"89\" />\n\nYour new Custom Archives Display will show your archived posts like this:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6501\" alt=\"Archives Page\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ArchivesPage.png\" width=\"411\" height=\"65\" />\n<h2>How to Add a List of Categories to Your Custom Archives Page</h2>\nAlong with displaying your archives by date, you can add a list of all your categories to your Custom Archives Page. Start by adding the following code to your page-archive.php template:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6504\" alt=\"Category Archives Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CategoryArchivesCode.png\" width=\"343\" height=\"99\" />\n\nBefore the code will work and category archives will show up, you will need to add the following code to your theme\'s style.css file:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6503\" alt=\"Style CSS Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/StyleCSSCode.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"509\" />\n\nIt will look like this after the code is inserted properly:\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6502\" alt=\"Category Display\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CategoryDisplay.png\" width=\"567\" height=\"251\" />\n\nOther code can be used to add other custom things to your new archives page, such as a list of authors, recent posts, a list of pages, or a tag cloud. Here are the codes for all of these items:\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>List of Authors</strong></p>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6505\" alt=\"List Of Authors Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ListOfAuthorsCode.png\" width=\"496\" height=\"28\" />\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>List of Pages</strong></p>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6506\" alt=\"List Of Pages Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ListOfPagesCode.png\" width=\"310\" height=\"26\" />\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Recent Posts</strong></p>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6507\" alt=\"Recent Posts Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/RecentPostsCode.png\" width=\"436\" height=\"27\" />\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Tag Cloud</strong></p>\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6508\" alt=\"Tag Cloud Code\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/TagCloudCode.png\" width=\"292\" height=\"39\" />\n\nYou can use these different snippets of code to customize your archives page to your specific needs.\n<h2>Why Should You Use a Custom Archives Page in WordPress</h2>\nThe main reason to create your custom archives page is to better organize your website. Even if you\'re very new to blogging with WordPress, this is a good idea. Image, after a few years of posting how the default archives will look in the sidebar. You will have a large amount of space taken up by the many months without your custom archives page.\n\nBy creating this new page, you can better organize your archives. You will only need to display a link to the archives page and nothing else. This makes it very easy for your visitors to find your older content.','Can you Create Custom Archives Pages for Your WordPress Blog?','','inherit','open','closed','','6495-autosave-v1','','','2014-04-10 16:17:32','2014-04-10 20:17:32','',6495,'http://itxdesign.com/6495-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6598,4,'2014-04-18 00:01:33','2014-04-18 04:01:33','','Screen Options','','inherit','open','closed','','screenoptions-2','','','2014-04-18 00:01:33','2014-04-18 04:01:33','',6597,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ScreenOptions1.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6599,4,'2014-04-18 00:01:59','2014-04-18 04:01:59','','Comments Screen Options','','inherit','open','closed','','commentsscreenoptions','','','2014-04-18 00:01:59','2014-04-18 04:01:59','',6597,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CommentsScreenOptions.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6600,4,'2014-04-18 00:02:29','2014-04-18 04:02:29','','WordPress Admin Color Setting','','inherit','open','closed','','wordpressadmincolorsetting','','','2014-04-18 00:02:29','2014-04-18 04:02:29','',6597,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressAdminColorSetting.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6601,4,'2014-04-18 00:02:43','2014-04-18 04:02:43','Maybe you think your WordPress dashboard is a bit cluttered or isn\'t quite like you want it to be. There are plenty of ways you can customize what shows up in the edit screens, the color of your dashboard and many other parts of your WordPress admin area. Some of these settings will change per user and not across the entire blog, however. \r\n\r\n<h2>Adjusting the Screen Options</h2>\r\n\r\nOnce of the easiest ways to customize the WordPress admin area is with the screen options found in the both the page and post edit screens. It\'s found at the top right of the screen and provides a dropdown screen.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ScreenOptions1.png\" alt=\"Screen Options\" width=\"737\" height=\"207\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6598\" />\r\n\r\nIn this section, you will be able to adjust what shows up after the editor for your page or post. Some plugins will add additional options here. Just check the boxes next to the options you want to use and leave the ones you don\'t need unchecked.\r\n\r\nThis can also be done on the Comments Page. You can decide to show the Author and the In Response To on the screen. Along with these two options, you can decide how many comments you want to display per page. Just click the \"Screen Options\" section in the left top corner.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CommentsScreenOptions.png\" alt=\"Comments Screen Options\" width=\"703\" height=\"133\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6599\" />\r\n\r\n<h2>Changing the Color of your WordPress Dashboard</h2>\r\n\r\nAnother way you can customize the WordPress Admin area is by changing the color scheme. You can do this for each profile from the profile edit section. \r\n\r\nGo to <strong>Users &gt;&gt; All Users</strong> and select the profile you want to edit. You will see the following:\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/WordPressAdminColorSetting.png\" alt=\"WordPress Admin Color Setting\" width=\"713\" height=\"196\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6600\" />\r\n\r\nAs soon as you click the radio button for a new color scheme, you will see it change in your dashboard. This allows you to preview the looks before you actually save your changes. \r\n\r\nChoose from eight different color schemes, which all come by default with WordPress. IF you want to add eight more color schemes, you can use the <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-color-schemes/\">Admin Color Scheme WordPress plugin</a>. Just download and install the plugin like any other and the options will show up in your user profile edit section.\r\n\r\nIf you\'re sick of the regular look of the WordPress admin area, you can make these simple changes. Customize your dashboard in any way you would like with both the screen options menu and the color schemes provided for each profile.\r\n','Can you Customize the WordPress Admin Area?','','inherit','open','closed','','6597-revision-v1','','','2014-04-18 00:02:43','2014-04-18 04:02:43','',6597,'http://itxdesign.com/6597-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6602,4,'2014-04-21 08:31:58','2014-04-21 12:31:58','If you\'re using the WordPress.org version of WordPress, you can use both free and premium plugins. These plugins will allow you get the most out of your WordPress blog and website. Those not able to find the \"Plugins\" section in WordPress are using the WordPress.com version, which doesn\'t utilize plugins.\r\n\r\nUsing plugins is one of the most powerful ways to customize the look and function of your website. Plugins allow you to create better security, SEO, social media sharing and so much more. No matter what you want to accomplish, WordPress probably has a plugin for it. Here are a few of the easiest and most productive ways to install WordPress plugins.\r\n<h2>How to Install a WordPress Plugin</h2>\r\nThere are a couple of ways to install WordPress plugins. You can use the download/upload method or the search method.\r\n\r\n<strong>Download/Upload Method</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you found the plugin you want to use by searching on Google and downloading a .zip file, you will want to use this installation method.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Step #1 - Log into your WordPress Dashboard</li>\r\n	<li>Step #2 - Go to <strong>Plugins &gt;&gt; Add New</strong></li>\r\n	<li>Step #3 - Click \"Upload\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6603\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UploadPlugin.png\" alt=\"Upload Plugin\" width=\"400\" height=\"72\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #4 - Click \"Choose File\"</li>\r\n	<li>Step #5 - Find the File for the plugin and Click \"Install Now\"</li>\r\n	<li>Step #6 - Activate your new Plugin</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6604\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Activate.png\" alt=\"Activate\" width=\"313\" height=\"158\" /></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOnce the plugin is activated, you can adjust the settings and use the plugin for your WordPress blog. This method works best for any premium plugin because you will most likely download a .zip folder before installing the plugin for your website.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Search Method</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you haven\'t found the plugin you want to use yet, you can use the search method to find and install your new plugin.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Step #1 - Log into your WordPress Dashboard</li>\r\n	<li>Step #2 - Go to <strong>Plugins &gt;&gt; Add New</strong></li>\r\n	<li>Step #3 - Enter the name of the plugin in the search box and click \"Search Plugins\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6605\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SearchBox.png\" alt=\"Search Box\" width=\"317\" height=\"92\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #4 - Click the \"Install Now\" link under the right plugin</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6606\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SearchedPlugin.png\" alt=\"Searched Plugin\" width=\"393\" height=\"202\" /></li>\r\n	<li></li>\r\n	<li>Step #5 - Click \"OK\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6607\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/InstallPluginQuestion.png\" alt=\"Install Plugin Question\" width=\"351\" height=\"101\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #6 - Activate your new Plugin</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are the easiest two ways to install your new WordPress plugins. There is one more way you can install plugins, which helps quite a bit if you plan to use the same plugins on multiple websites.\r\n<h2>How to Install and Copy Plugins in cPanel</h2>\r\nThis method will allow you to install your WordPress plugins by uploading them into the right file inside your file manager.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Step #1 - Log into your cPanel</li>\r\n	<li>Step #2 - Find and open the File Manager</li>\r\n	<li>Step #3 - Open your \"Root\" Folder</li>\r\n	<li>Step #4 - Open your \"wp-content\" folder</li>\r\n	<li>Step #5 - Open your \"plugins\" folder</li>\r\n	<li>Step #6 - Click \"Upload\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6608\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UploadInCpanel.png\" alt=\"Upload In Cpanel\" width=\"293\" height=\"90\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #7 - Upload the .zip folder for your plugin</li>\r\n	<li>Step #8 - Unzip the folder</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNow you have installed your WordPress plugin through cPanel. You can also copy the plugins from another WordPress blog on the same host to your new site. Just select the plugin folders you want to copy and fill in the information for your new WordPress website.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6609\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CopyPluginInCpanel.png\" alt=\"Copy Plugin In Cpanel\" width=\"486\" height=\"275\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve filled out the destination, click \"Copy File(s)\" and you will have all your plugins installed for your new website.\r\n\r\nAnother method, which is very similar to installing WordPress plugins in cPanel is to use an FTP manager. This method is recommended for those familiar with using FTP Software. It will work much like the above method for installing WordPress plugins within cPanel. However, you will have to connect your FTP manager to your server before you can access the right file folders.\r\n\r\nUse these methods to install and activate any type of plugin you want in WordPress. Whether you plan to use the same plugins on each website or you want to use different choices, you can set them all up easily with these installation methods.\r\n\r\nBeginners should stick to the download/upload method and the search method.

These plugins will allow you get the most out of your WordPress blog and website. Those not able to find the \"Plugins\" section in WordPress are using the WordPress.com version, which doesn\'t utilize plugins.\r\n\r\nUsing plugins is one of the most powerful ways to customize the look and function of your website. Plugins allow you to create better security, SEO, social media sharing and so much more. No matter what you want to accomplish, WordPress probably has a plugin for it. Here are a few of the easiest and most productive ways to install WordPress plugins.\r\n<h2>How to Install a WordPress Plugin</h2>\r\nThere are a couple of ways to install WordPress plugins. You can use the download/upload method or the search method.\r\n\r\n<strong>Download/Upload Method</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you found the plugin you want to use by searching on Google and downloading a .zip file, you will want to use this installation method.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Step #1 - Log into your WordPress Dashboard</li>\r\n	<li>Step #2 - Go to <strong>Plugins &gt;&gt; Add New</strong></li>\r\n	<li>Step #3 - Click \"Upload\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6603\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UploadPlugin.png\" alt=\"Upload Plugin\" width=\"400\" height=\"72\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #4 - Click \"Choose File\"</li>\r\n	<li>Step #5 - Find the File for the plugin and Click \"Install Now\"</li>\r\n	<li>Step #6 - Activate your new Plugin</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6604\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Activate.png\" alt=\"Activate\" width=\"313\" height=\"158\" /></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOnce the plugin is activated, you can adjust the settings and use the plugin for your WordPress blog. This method works best for any premium plugin because you will most likely download a .zip folder before installing the plugin for your website.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Search Method</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you haven\'t found the plugin you want to use yet, you can use the search method to find and install your new plugin.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Step #1 - Log into your WordPress Dashboard</li>\r\n	<li>Step #2 - Go to <strong>Plugins &gt;&gt; Add New</strong></li>\r\n	<li>Step #3 - Enter the name of the plugin in the search box and click \"Search Plugins\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6605\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SearchBox.png\" alt=\"Search Box\" width=\"317\" height=\"92\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #4 - Click the \"Install Now\" link under the right plugin</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6606\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/SearchedPlugin.png\" alt=\"Searched Plugin\" width=\"393\" height=\"202\" /></li>\r\n	<li></li>\r\n	<li>Step #5 - Click \"OK\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6607\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/InstallPluginQuestion.png\" alt=\"Install Plugin Question\" width=\"351\" height=\"101\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #6 - Activate your new Plugin</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThese are the easiest two ways to install your new WordPress plugins. There is one more way you can install plugins, which helps quite a bit if you plan to use the same plugins on multiple websites.\r\n<h2>How to Install and Copy Plugins in cPanel</h2>\r\nThis method will allow you to install your WordPress plugins by uploading them into the right file inside your file manager.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Step #1 - Log into your cPanel</li>\r\n	<li>Step #2 - Find and open the File Manager</li>\r\n	<li>Step #3 - Open your \"Root\" Folder</li>\r\n	<li>Step #4 - Open your \"wp-content\" folder</li>\r\n	<li>Step #5 - Open your \"plugins\" folder</li>\r\n	<li>Step #6 - Click \"Upload\"</li>\r\n	<li><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6608\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/UploadInCpanel.png\" alt=\"Upload In Cpanel\" width=\"293\" height=\"90\" /></li>\r\n	<li>Step #7 - Upload the .zip folder for your plugin</li>\r\n	<li>Step #8 - Unzip the folder</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNow you have installed your WordPress plugin through cPanel. You can also copy the plugins from another WordPress blog on the same host to your new site. Just select the plugin folders you want to copy and fill in the information for your new WordPress website.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6609\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CopyPluginInCpanel.png\" alt=\"Copy Plugin In Cpanel\" width=\"486\" height=\"275\" />\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve filled out the destination, click \"Copy File(s)\" and you will have all your plugins installed for your new website.\r\n\r\nAnother method, which is very similar to installing WordPress plugins in cPanel is to use an FTP manager. This method is recommended for those familiar with using FTP Software. It will work much like the above method for installing WordPress plugins within cPanel. However, you will have to connect your FTP manager to your server before you can access the right file folders.\r\n\r\nUse these methods to install and activate any type of plugin you want in WordPress. Whether you plan to use the same plugins on each website or you want to use different choices, you can set them all up easily with these installation methods.\r\n\r\nBeginners should stick to the download/upload method and the search method. These are the easiest two methods to install and activate any WordPress plugin you want to use for your WordPress blog, whether free or premium.','A Quick Beginner\'s Guide to Installing a Plugin in WordPress','','inherit','open','closed','','6602-revision-v1','','','2014-04-18 00:38:50','2014-04-18 04:38:50','',6602,'http://itxdesign.com/6602-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6611,1,'2014-04-21 10:08:22','2014-04-21 14:08:22','If you\'re not familiar with PHP, pasting snippets of code into the functions.php file of your theme can be a bit confusing. Sometimes this is a necessary process to customize your WordPress blog for your specific needs. Without the right knowledge of PHP, you may break your website. If that\'s why you are reading this blog post, you\'re not alone.\r\n\r\nThe functions.php file of your theme can be found in your cPanel at: /wp-content/themes/themename/\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6613\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/FunctionsPHPFolder1.png\" alt=\"Functions PHP Folder\" width=\"445\" height=\"135\" />\r\n\r\nIt\'s not the same as the functions.php file found in the /wp-includes/ folder.\r\n<h2>Understanding the basics of PHP</h2>\r\nPasting snippets of code into WordPress starts with a basic understanding of PHP code. It starts with an opening tag, which looks like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6614\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/OpeningPHPTag.png\" alt=\"Opening PHP Tag\" width=\"333\" height=\"106\" />\r\n\r\nOver 90% of the issues WordPress users face, when they don\'t paste code properly, include this tag. Understanding the PHP semantics will help you make fewer mistakes.\r\n\r\nThe most common mistake involves pasting the PHP code into the wrong place in your functions.php file. It\'s important to make sure you post the code after the previous tag has been closed.\r\n\r\nAnother very common mistake is pasting the PHP code outside the PHP tags. When you do this, WordPress doesn\'t understand what the code is and will break. Make sure you paste the code into the functions.php file inside the PHP tags or WordPress won\'t know what you\'re trying to tell it to do.\r\n\r\nThe final one of the most common mistakes made with PHP code is pasting your code snippet into an existing function. Most functions come with a closing tag for the function and you don\'t want to paste new code within the opening and closing tags of another function. This will just confuse WordPress and cause it to break.\r\n<h2>How to Protect Yourself from Breaking WordPress with PHP</h2>\r\nThe best way to keep from breaking WordPress when pasting a PHP code snippet is simple. Start by copying the entire functions.php code and pasting it into notepad or another text editor. This will give you all the code you need in case you break something.\r\n\r\nNow, you can start pasting your code snippet into your functions.php file. If you break something, you will know that, most likely, you have caused one of the above mistakes. You can simply copy the code you saved in your text editor and replace the functions.php file and start from the beginning.\r\n<h2>More PHP and Code Pasting Tips</h2>\r\nSometimes, one of the most common errors found above isn\'t the issue. Code snippet comes with certain types of plugins and you may simply need to activate the plugin. The code won\'t always work until you activate the plugin.\r\n\r\nAnother common issues found that you should be aware of is an area within the code snippet itself. This happens with an author of the code snippet that forgets to add a closing tag, opening tag or another part of the code. If this happens, you may want to consider finding a new code snippet for WordPress, unless you have the PHP knowledge to fix the code.\r\n\r\nAs you work with PHP, it\'s very important to take the time to get to know this type of code. You can set up a \"test\" or \"play around\" WordPress site and use it to test out any PHP code snippets you want to use before you add them into your main site. This is a great way to learn where to put the PHP code before you break your WordPress blog.\r\n\r\nSometimes, the author of the PHP code snippet will actually give you instructions and explain the code. This will make it very easy to put the code in the right place. However, you should be aware that sometimes they split up the code when they explain it. When this is the case, make sure you scroll down and look for a full snippet you can use for your WordPress blog, instead of trying to piece the code together.\r\n\r\nNow you have a basic understanding of what to expect when working with PHP code. Make sure you take your time and be careful as you paste code snippets into your WordPress functions.php file.','How to Paste Snippets into WordPress From the Web','','publish','open','closed','','paste-snippets-into-wordpress-from-the-web','','','2014-04-21 10:08:46','2014-04-21 14:08:46','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=6611',0,'post','',0),(6612,4,'2014-04-18 01:09:59','2014-04-18 05:09:59','','FunctionsPHPFolder','','inherit','open','closed','','functionsphpfolder','','','2014-04-18 01:09:59','2014-04-18 05:09:59','',6611,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/FunctionsPHPFolder.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6613,4,'2014-04-18 01:10:33','2014-04-18 05:10:33','','Functions PHP Folder','','inherit','open','closed','','functionsphpfolder-2','','','2014-04-18 01:10:33','2014-04-18 05:10:33','',6611,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/FunctionsPHPFolder1.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6614,4,'2014-04-18 01:10:57','2014-04-18 05:10:57','','Opening PHP Tag','','inherit','open','closed','','openingphptag','','','2014-04-18 01:10:57','2014-04-18 05:10:57','',6611,'http://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/OpeningPHPTag.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(6615,4,'2014-04-18 01:11:39','2014-04-18 05:11:39','If you\'re not familiar with PHP, pasting snippets of code into the functions.php file of your theme can be a bit confusing.

This question may seem like common sense, but many beginners don\'t really understand where to start.\r\n\r\nHosting is available for incredibly cheap prices. However, you often get what you pay for and with anything labeled as \"cheap\" you can expect some issues. Resellers of hosting, especially beginners, really cannot afford to deal with hosting issues.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is <a title=\"reseller hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/reseller-hosting/\">Reseller Hosting</a>?</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you\'re considering reseller hosting, it\'s important to know what it is, first. This type of hosting allows the account owner to actually sell and profit from the hosting they purchase. It\'s one of the easiest ways to start your own hosting company and provides an affordable option compared to the high startup cost usually involved.\r\n\r\nMost of the largest hosting companies offer a reseller hosting option, but it\'s not always cheap. Some companies will offer reseller hosting for a very cheap price, but they don\'t provide the support, features and uptime you need to run your new company successfully. Since you will be responsible for providing others with hosting, you need the most reliable reseller hosting, at the most affordable price.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is the Price Determined?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe major factors making the difference in the price of a reseller package are the disk space and the bandwidth. The larger the package, the higher the price and the more profits you can make from selling your hosting. However, these are just two of the factors.\r\n\r\nOften, new hosting companies think the only way they can compete is with a lower price. They offer cheap reseller hosting packages, but this also means they cannot offer the best options or support. Providing the best hosting features and the top technical support doesn\'t come free. Companies with cheap reseller options will skimp in other areas to provide a lower price.\r\n\r\n<strong>Finding the Best of Both Worlds</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you decide you want to enter into the reseller hosting game, you need to find the best of both worlds. You need an affordable package from a <a title=\"reseller hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/reseller-hosting/\">reliable hosting</a> company. The lowest price shouldn\'t be the deciding factor in your final decision. Instead, you should be looking for a price that fits into your budget from a company capable of offering you a 99.999% uptime guarantee and an experienced technical support.\r\n\r\nThe price you offer when you resell hosting to others isn\'t the only benefit you can offer. However, if you choose one of the super cheap reseller hosting companies, price may be the only good thing about the hosting you sell.\r\n\r\nSince you plan to make a profit from reseller hosting, you need incredible support, all the best features, plenty of space and a beginner friendly reseller package. This type of package won\'t be found for $10 or less per month. However, you don\'t need to spend $50 per month to get started, either.\r\n\r\n<strong>Growing Your Reseller Business with ITX Design</strong>\r\n\r\nYou won\'t find cheap reseller hosting from ITX Design because we believe in quality over quantity. However, our prices are very affordable and we always over deliver.\r\n\r\nAn important factor in your hosting decision is the ability to grow. If you\'re stuck with just one reseller package, you\'re income will have a cap. Once you sell off all the hosting resource, you won\'t have anything left to sell to new customers.\r\n\r\nAt ITX Design, we offer four reseller hosting options ranging from $24.95 to $70.95 per month. Each package is a step up in disk space and bandwidth, which provides you with the ability to grow. You can control your monthly costs as you build your company from the ground up.\r\n\r\nAll of our reseller hosting packages include:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Managed Services</li>\r\n	<li>Parked Domains</li>\r\n	<li>Private DNS</li>\r\n	<li>Sub Domains</li>\r\n	<li>Mailing Lists</li>\r\n	<li>Shopping Cart Software</li>\r\n	<li>E-mail Accounts</li>\r\n	<li>SSH</li>\r\n	<li>Autoresponders</li>\r\n	<li>Password Protected Folders</li>\r\n	<li>MySQL</li>\r\n	<li>PHP</li>\r\n	<li>FrontPage</li>\r\n	<li>24/7/365 Award-winning Technical Support</li>\r\n	<li>99.999% uptime guarantee</li>\r\n	<li>And Much More!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAll of the options we provide give you benefits to pass onto your customers. Our award-winning support team will help you with anything necessary and you gain the benefit of the best support on the planet. Whether you want to build a large reseller business or you just want to experience a small profit, you can accomplish your goals with reseller hosting from ITX Design.\r\n\r\nThere\'s no need to waste your time searching for cheap reseller hosting and the many frustrating issues that come with it.

It\'s one of the easiest ways to start your own hosting company and provides an affordable option compared to the high startup cost usually involved.\r\n\r\nMost of the largest hosting companies offer a reseller hosting option, but it\'s not always cheap. Some companies will offer reseller hosting for a very cheap price, but they don\'t provide the support, features and uptime you need to run your new company successfully. Since you will be responsible for providing others with hosting, you need the most reliable reseller hosting, at the most affordable price.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is the Price Determined?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe major factors making the difference in the price of a reseller package are the disk space and the bandwidth. The larger the package, the higher the price and the more profits you can make from selling your hosting. However, these are just two of the factors.\r\n\r\nOften, new hosting companies think the only way they can compete is with a lower price. They offer cheap reseller hosting packages, but this also means they cannot offer the best options or support. Providing the best hosting features and the top technical support doesn\'t come free. Companies with cheap reseller options will skimp in other areas to provide a lower price.\r\n\r\n<strong>Finding the Best of Both Worlds</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen you decide you want to enter into the reseller hosting game, you need to find the best of both worlds. You need an affordable package from a <a title=\"reseller hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/reseller-hosting/\">reliable hosting</a> company. The lowest price shouldn\'t be the deciding factor in your final decision. Instead, you should be looking for a price that fits into your budget from a company capable of offering you a 99.999% uptime guarantee and an experienced technical support.\r\n\r\nThe price you offer when you resell hosting to others isn\'t the only benefit you can offer. However, if you choose one of the super cheap reseller hosting companies, price may be the only good thing about the hosting you sell.\r\n\r\nSince you plan to make a profit from reseller hosting, you need incredible support, all the best features, plenty of space and a beginner friendly reseller package. This type of package won\'t be found for $10 or less per month. However, you don\'t need to spend $50 per month to get started, either.\r\n\r\n<strong>Growing Your Reseller Business with ITX Design</strong>\r\n\r\nYou won\'t find cheap reseller hosting from ITX Design because we believe in quality over quantity.

Sometimes this is a necessary process to customize your WordPress blog for your specific needs. Without the right knowledge of PHP, you may break your website. If that\'s why you are reading this blog post, you\'re not alone.\r\n\r\nThe functions.php file of your theme can be found in your cPanel at: /wp-content/themes/themename/\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6613\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/FunctionsPHPFolder1.png\" alt=\"Functions PHP Folder\" width=\"445\" height=\"135\" />\r\n\r\nIt\'s not the same as the functions.php file found in the /wp-includes/ folder.\r\n<h2>Understanding the basics of PHP</h2>\r\nPasting snippets of code into WordPress starts with a basic understanding of PHP code. It starts with an opening tag, which looks like this:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6614\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/OpeningPHPTag.png\" alt=\"Opening PHP Tag\" width=\"333\" height=\"106\" />\r\n\r\nOver 90% of the issues WordPress users face, when they don\'t paste code properly, include this tag. Understanding the PHP semantics will help you make fewer mistakes.\r\n\r\nThe most common mistake involves pasting the PHP code into the wrong place in your functions.php file. It\'s important to make sure you post the code after the previous tag has been closed.\r\n\r\nAnother very common mistake is pasting the PHP code outside the PHP tags. When you do this, WordPress doesn\'t understand what the code is and will break. Make sure you paste the code into the functions.php file inside the PHP tags or WordPress won\'t know what you\'re trying to tell it to do.\r\n\r\nThe final one of the most common mistakes made with PHP code is pasting your code snippet into an existing function. Most functions come with a closing tag for the function and you don\'t want to paste new code within the opening and closing tags of another function. This will just confuse WordPress and cause it to break.\r\n<h2>How to Protect Yourself from Breaking WordPress with PHP</h2>\r\nThe best way to keep from breaking WordPress when pasting a PHP code snippet is simple. Start by copying the entire functions.php code and pasting it into notepad or another text editor. This will give you all the code you need in case you break something.\r\n\r\nNow, you can start pasting your code snippet into your functions.php file. If you break something, you will know that, most likely, you have caused one of the above mistakes. You can simply copy the code you saved in your text editor and replace the functions.php file and start from the beginning.\r\n<h2>More PHP and Code Pasting Tips</h2>\r\nSometimes, one of the most common errors found above isn\'t the issue. Code snippet comes with certain types of plugins and you may simply need to activate the plugin. The code won\'t always work until you activate the plugin.\r\n\r\nAnother common issues found that you should be aware of is an area within the code snippet itself. This happens with an author of the code snippet that forgets to add a closing tag, opening tag or another part of the code. If this happens, you may want to consider finding a new code snippet for WordPress, unless you have the PHP knowledge to fix the code.\r\n\r\nAs you work with PHP, it\'s very important to take the time to get to know this type of code. You can set up a \"test\" or \"play around\" WordPress site and use it to test out any PHP code snippets you want to use before you add them into your main site. This is a great way to learn where to put the PHP code before you break your WordPress blog.\r\n\r\nSometimes, the author of the PHP code snippet will actually give you instructions and explain the code. This will make it very easy to put the code in the right place. However, you should be aware that sometimes they split up the code when they explain it. When this is the case, make sure you scroll down and look for a full snippet you can use for your WordPress blog, instead of trying to piece the code together.\r\n\r\nNow you have a basic understanding of what to expect when working with PHP code. Make sure you take your time and be careful as you paste code snippets into your WordPress functions.php file.','How to Paste Snippets into WordPress From the Web','','inherit','open','closed','','6611-revision-v1','','','2014-04-18 07:54:43','2014-04-18 11:54:43','',6611,'http://itxdesign.com/6611-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(6652,1,'2014-04-21 14:32:54','2014-04-21 18:32:54','<a href=\"https://itxdesign.com/compare-hosting-plans/\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6655\" src=\"https://itxdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/shared-linux-hosting.jpeg\" alt=\"shared-linux-hosting\" width=\"192\" height=\"256\" /></a>The hosting world is full of choice and it\'s one of the most competitive industries online. When it comes time to start your own website, blog or any other online project, Linux hosting is the right choice.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is Linux Hosting?</strong>\r\n\r\nSimply put, Linux hosting is any type of hosting using the operating system called Linux on the server. Linux is a Unix-like operating system provided as a free, open source choice. It was first developed in 1991 as a free operating system for Intel x86-based computers. Since, it has become one of the most popular open source operating systems on the market.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why is Linux Preferred over Windows by Most Webmasters?</strong>\r\n\r\nThere\'s nothing wrong with Windows hosting, but Linux is the preferred choice for many reasons. Linux allows the use of PHP, Python, CGI and Pearl, which are very popular choices for webmasters. It\'s also known as one of the most stable choice for your hosting and provides more features that can be used free of charge compared to Windows hosting.\r\n\r\nWith Windows hosting, you can use ASP or ASP.NET, but both of these applications tend to be a bit more difficult to use. Most developers, webmasters and bloggers prefer Linux hosting over Windows hosting.\r\n\r\n<strong>Five Top Benefits of Linux <a title=\"website hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/compare-hosting-plans/\">Shared Hosting</a></strong>\r\n\r\nMany benefits come along with the choice to use a hosting company offering the Linux operating system. This affordable type of hosting makes it easy for anybody to get started with a blog or website. Here are five to the top benefits provided by Linux hosting.\r\n\r\n<strong>Cost</strong>\r\n\r\nMaybe the most important benefit for most is the price. Since Linux is an open source platform, there\'s no charge to use it for your hosting. This allows hosting companies to keep their prices lower compared to Windows hosting. Often, Linux based hosting will also come with many free and popular scripts, such as <a title=\"drupal vs joomla\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/the-cms-war-drupal-vs-joomla/\">Drupal</a>, <a title=\"wordpress vs joomla\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/wordpress-vs-joomla-is-there-any-question-about-which-cms-is-best/\">WordPress</a>, Joomla, phpBB and many others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Flexibility</strong>\r\n\r\nWith a Linux server, you can do many things, such as create a blog, website, multimedia application, forum or any other online entity. Linux comes with a GNU or General Public License, which means it, can be used with various distributions, such as SUE Linux, Red Hat and Ubuntu. This makes it much more flexible than other operating systems.\r\n\r\n<strong>Security</strong>\r\n\r\nOf course, a very important benefit of a Linux server, especially for shared hosting, is the security. This operating system has proven time and time again to be more secure than any other choice.\r\n\r\n<strong>Reliability</strong>\r\n\r\nSince Linux was one of the first operating systems created, it provides better reliability than Windows. Many Linux users will tell you the reliability isn\'t even a comparison because Linux is much better.\r\n\r\n<strong>Simplicity</strong>\r\n\r\nAnother huge benefit coming from Linux shared hosting is the simplicity. In most cases, it\'s easier and more user-friendly than Windows hosting. Since Linux can use MySQL, Perl and PHP, it has become known as a very easy system to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>Finding the Right Linux Shared Hosting Company</strong>\r\n\r\nOf course, any type of hosting is only as good as the company backing it up. If you choose a Linux hosting company without great support or uptime, you won\'t gain the many great benefits of using Linux for your shared hosting.\r\n\r\nWith a top hosting company providing full technical support, you can take advantage of the many benefits of using Linux.

These items make your website much better than not using them. However, adding videos to your website can take up a large amount of space. There is a way to go about doing it without using up all your space and slowing down your load times.\r\n\r\nYou should NEVER upload videos directly to your WordPress website for many reasons. The most common reason is the space they take up, though. Here\'s what you need to know about using and uploading videos.\r\n<h2>The Difference Between Embedding and Uploading Videos</h2>\r\nUnderstanding the difference between embedding a video and uploading it will answer the title question of this post for most WordPress users. When you upload a video within your WordPress dashboard, it takes up space on your server. If you plan to use multiple videos, you could take up way too much space, which could slow down your site load times.\r\n\r\nInstead of uploading a video to your own server, you can upload it to a video hosting site, such as YouTube. Once uploaded, you will be able to use a link from the video to embed it within a post or page. This means, you can use the video without affecting your server at all.  Here\'s an example of an embedded video that we\'ve uploaded to YouTube.\r\n\r\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVfrS2OlhmA\r\n<h2>What Type of Hosting do You Need if You Choose to Upload Videos?</h2>\r\nIn some situations, embedding videos won\'t give you the benefits you need. When you need to upload videos to WordPress, using shared web hosting will work if you use <a title=\"ffmpeg hosting\" href=\"https://itxdesign.com/ffmpeg-hosting/\">FFMpeg Hosting</a>.\r\n\r\nSince videos take up bandwidth, you may want to use a VPS or dedicated hosting package with a large amount of bandwidth. Monitor this closely and upgrade as necessary.\r\n<h2>Benefits of Embedding Videos</h2>\r\nWhen you decide to upload videos to YouTube or another video hosting site, you gain many benefits compared to uploading the video to your own server. YouTube will process the video and create a better quality video for the internet. This makes it possible for viewers to watch the video in HD or in lower resolutions.\r\n\r\nAlong with the better quality video, you gain another outlet for your video to bring you traffic. You can link back to your website within the description of the video on YouTube. This provides both traffic and search engine optimization benefits.\r\n\r\nAlexa rankings have YouTube as the second most used search engine on the internet and the third most visited website. Why wouldn\'t you want your video to be found on YouTube? This makes it very easy to bring in more viewers and they can easily share your videos across social media platforms.\r\n\r\nWhen you use YouTube or another video hosting site, you also gain an easier video to share. People love to share videos across their social media profiles and it\'s far easier to do this from YouTube or another video site. The average internet user may not know how to share a video from your website, but YouTube makes this very easy for them. Most users are very familiar with how to do this from YouTube.\r\n\r\nFinally, the fact that you won\'t be using your own space for the video will keep your load times faster. This will benefit you in many ways including SEO and a better visitor experience.\r\n\r\nIn most situations, it\'s a good idea to upload you videos to a third-party and embed them into your posts and pages. However, if you have plenty of hosting space, you may want to host your own videos on your server.','Should You Upload Videos Directly to WordPress?','','publish','open','closed','','should-you-upload-videos-directly-to-wordpress','','\nhttp://itxdesign.com/ffmpeg-hosting/','2014-04-25 17:58:19','2014-04-25 21:58:19','',0,'http://itxdesign.com/?p=6668',0,'post','',0),(6669,4,'2014-04-21 17:47:17','2014-04-21 21:47:17','Uploading images, videos and audio are all possible within WordPress.

When you need to upload videos to WordPress, using shared web hosting won\'t cut it. \r\n\r\nYou will need to upgrade to at least VPS hosting, but most likely, you will need a dedicated hosting package. This will give you plenty of space to host your own videos without slowing down your load times. \r\n\r\nSince videos take up bandwidth, you may want to use a VPS or dedicated hosting package with a large amount of bandwidth. Monitor this closely and upgrade as necessary.\r\n\r\nIf you plan to host multiple video websites for other users or just for yourself, you might as well start with a large dedicated server package. When you decide that hosting your own videos is a necessity, you will need plenty of resources. Each video will cost you bandwidth and disk space, which means you need to look at the overall potential of your project to figure out how large a server you will need.\r\n\r\n<h2>Benefits of Embedding Videos</h2>\r\n\r\nWhen you decide to upload videos to YouTube or another video hosting site, you gain many benefits compared to uploading the video to your own server.
