Q&A: How do I get a WordPress feed widget for my main website?

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Question by meztone44: How do I get a WordPress feed widget for my main website?
I am sure I have seen widgets of WordPress feeds on normal websites before but can’t seem to find out how to get my own. I can only find widgets that go inside the actual blog and not my own website.

Best answer:

Answer by Smelly Cat
There are no wordpress widgets for regular websites. You need to use something like carp geckotribe.com or magpie to parse and show the feed on your site.

I’ve used carp for years. Love it.

A self-hosted WordPress site can easily be used as both a blogging and e-commerce platform with the right plugins. This needs to be a wordpress.org site. Not a free wordpress.com site.

Sunday, December 11th, 2011

Question by Kara J: How do I move my myspace blog to another blogging website?
I would like to move my myspace blog to another blogging website, like wordpress or to a mac mobile me website that i design. How can I do that without losing what I have already created? If it is not possible I will just keep using myspace for blogging purposes only…but i would like to move it so i can close the account. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Answer by chrisscott11us
It shouldn’t be too hard. There isn’t any software to make the transaction seamless but you can pretty easily copy and paste all of your blog posts into new posts. With WordPress, you can even change the dates of posts so that you can display the correct dates.

I always recommend WordPress for blogging software but if you have doubts about it you may want to consider Google Blogger or TypePad. You can host your blog for free on WordPress.com or you can download the software at WordPress.org and host it on your own website.

Below is a link to a post on my blog about blogging that will help you decide which blogging site to use (top 10 blogging sites). I’m also going to refer you to a post I wrote that lays out how to host your own blog in 5 easy steps.

Top 10 Benefits of Using WordPress for Website Development

Monday, August 15th, 2011

WordPress is an open source content management system which can be downloaded from the internet free of cost. It also provides you with one of the most innovative and contemporary publishing platform which focuses on all web principles and usability. WordPress is a popular choice for website development. This article will provide you with the top ten advantages of using WordPress for website development.  

COST EFFECTIVE:  This is one of the most common but important feature of using WordPress for developing your website. As you can directly download it from the internet and that too free of cost therefore, it doesn’t cost you that much in comparison to other content management systems.

USER FRIENDLY: The next importance of using WordPress is that it provides wordpress designers with convenient and simple applications which they feel quite comfortable to use and this makes it user friendly for its users. You do not require any technical skills to use it. You can send an e-mail or use Microsoft Word and you will be able to use WordPress at a much better ease.

BETTER SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS: WordPress also makes it easier to optimize your search engine results. That means your site is more likely to land on the first page of Google results, which increases the possibility of  getting more visitors and more you get visitors, greater are the chances of getting maximum profit.

EASY INSTALLATION: Installing WordPress is a very simple task. All you need to do is to just click on the WordPress link to install WordPress on your website. The software will ask you some basic general information, then do the full install of one of the most recent WordPress builds into your website.

WEBSITE FUNCTIONALITY: Just like with the WordPress web design themes, if there is a specific functionality you want your blog to perform, there are programmers out there who have made WordPress Plug-ins that will do for you those things you would like to do. There are nearly 8,000 WordPress Plug-ins on the WordPress.org website and thousands more that are not in the WordPress database.

AUTOMATIC UP-GRADATION: If you use WordPress development for your website it facilitates you with automatic up-gradation. The advantage of this is whenever a new version of WordPress is launched you need not go through the WordPress upgrade every time, it is automatically done without requiring any manual process.

EASILY EXTENDIBLE: It also provides you with various add on features that are available as plug-ins and widgets. Many designs and layouts are readily available as free or premium themes. These can also be changed or altered to suit your needs.

BETTER ADMINISTRATION: WordPress can easily survive traffic spikes; it can easily balance the server load at the same time ensuring that the website runs smoothly in spite of massive web traffic.

NO BACKUP REQUIRED: WordPress keeps backup of your blog. So, there is no need to keep backups for  your blogs.

NO SPAMS: This is last but not the least benefit of using WordPress that there is no issue of spamming in WordPress. Pre installed Akismet helps in blocking spam in the background. Overall wordpress developers have given a great platform to work with no spam.
