At the advice of many gurus, I decided to use WordPress instead of Blogger. However, I found the WP suppport forum and documentation quite confusing for a non-techie like myself. I searched for more information in the Internet and physical books.
I posted a few blogs initially, then stopped and continued my blogs at typepad. Then I got approved for Adsense at this orginal blogsite. I didn’t know how to put my Adsense code in my blogs and did a lot of trial-and-error before being successful only yesterday. I did it by going to my cPanel and file manager and then locating the WP theme and sidebar so that I could insert the code. And then I remembered having paid, three weeks ago, for access to a website that showed video tutorials of what I need to monetize my WP blogs.
It took an email from the website owner, asking me for a testimonial to jog my memory. I scolded myself for not having clicked on it sooner.
His name is Fidens Felix. He showed me in a few minutes how I could have done the same thing by going to my WP admin panel, without having to go thru my cPanel.
The other thing I learned from him was how to configure permalinks so that the search engines could tag my posts more effectively.
Lastly I was able to download WP plug-ins and various articles and PLR’s.
All at a measly $7.00!
