If you’re looking to update your wordpress system, or have done so in the past, then you’re probably familiar with these upgrade steps.
The information given by Wordpress.org is comprehensive and it’s highly advisable to read the extended upgrade process as well, since it mentions important points not given in the three-step update method.
Basically, Wordpress.org explains the most essential points and lists the steps necessary to perform a successful update of the Wordpress system.
Some of the included points are : Checking minimum requirements with your web hosting provider (compatibility of Wordpress with MySQL & PHP versions), how to back up your Wordpress system and a way to avoid custom files such as your theme files from being overwritten by default files during the update process.
As said, the steps are complete, but having upgraded many web CMS systems over the years, I feel there are a few points that can be added.
Read on to see 4 simple, but useful points that I aren’t in the official list, but nonetheless can be important to many Wordpress users who’re planning on updating . . .
As announced, the first 5 question in-depth interview is kicked of by Darren Rowse of Problogger. Though Darren is well known and probably doesn’t need to be introduced to most readers, here’s a little info anyway on who this Australian blogger is.
Darren Rowse is a blogger who has turned a hobby into his profession, to be more clear, he has swapped his day time job for a blogging career.
One of the fruits of his online endeavors is the popular blog called ProBlogger. Having around 40.000 RSS subscribers, ProBlogger is one of the most popular blogs in the niche of helping people use their blog for making money online.
The growth of ProBlogger over the last years, the popularity of blogs in general and the large amount of people trying to earn some extra income by blogging obviously made Darren an important target for this 5 in-depth question interview.
His answers should be helpful and interesting to bloggers aspiring to someday go pro, or to just whomever is seeking to improve their blogging skills.
So, for those curious about Darren’s answers, the complete interview can be found under the read more link …
Whether you’re a new or a returning visitor to this blog, you’ve probably noticed the little graphic in the sidebar announcing a 5 in depth questions mini - interview series. I’ve been getting questions about what this concept actually is.
To answer that : I will periodically be interviewing a web entrepreneur by asking them only 5, but in depth questions about their online endeavors.
The idea is to construct a limited number of questions in such a way that the answers will result in an understandable, interesting but most importantly insightful post for the readers. Furthermore, I’ll try to let the questions cover as many areas as possible in order for the answers to be as useful as possible.
The interviewed person can be anyone who’s started an internet endeavor and is successful in doing it. For example, I might interview a professional blogger, or an entrepreneur who had a good idea and started up an online business based on this idea.
However it could also be somebody who’s an ace at search engine optimization, since seo can be an important part of being successful on the web. In other words, it’s not necessary to be Bill Gates in order to be interviewed. As long as the result is useful.
The series will go on as long as I have candidates willing to be interviewed. So take into account that at times it might take a while before the next mini-interview is published.
On that note, the first mini-interview will feature Darren Rowse of problogger, who’s been so kind to be the first to kick the ball into play and answer 5 questions. So, many thanks to Darren for that one.
Darren’s interview will be published on Friday, this week.
