I am delighted to introduce yet another small treasure from my collection of wordpress themes — March7. This theme has plenty of very sleek elements, great looking graphics, photo of an orchid, stylish twirls and strips, and a very nice, handmade calendar images. yes, I made it myself especially for this theme as no other image seemed to fit in nicely. This is the first theme that I am releasing without sponsored links. Serious, no spammy stuff at the footer except for a few of my own websites which I’d like to promote. However, if you really like  the theme (and I find it hard to believe you don’t!) and won’t to use it without my footer links, please feel free to contact me (my email is inside the CSS file) for obtaining a branding free version. Footer-links-free version is only $10.

What’s a blog? Well, it’s very much like an online dairy. This can be about and be used for anything at all, it can be used for news, reviews, products for a business etc. This is great as it helps the user stay in touch with the website with new and up to date information.

Ok, so we know what a blog is now. What on earth is that orange RSS icon i see everywhere! RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts. An RSS document contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.

RSS content can be read using software called an “RSS reader”, “feed reader” or an “aggregator”. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

How do I get a blog or start a feed, with as much help as possible? First port of call would be FeedBurner - the leading provider of media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs and RSS feeds. Web-based tools help bloggers, podcasters and commercial publishers promote, deliver and profit from their content on the Web.

Before CMS… the task of uploading files and images to a website and updating the content was a tedious process. You either had to transfer everything manually using a browser-based uploading tool or an FTP program, or you could download the file you need to edit, update it, and then re-upload it to your server.

It’s hardly an efficient method for handling website content and all the files you work with tend to take up a lot of storage space. That’s why a content management system (CMS) is sometimes called the best friend of Web developers.

Wikipedia defines a web content management system as “a software system used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of web material.”

Content management systems for websites make site management easier because it allows you to perform updates without having to upload or re-upload your files.

They also allow non-technical individuals to manipulate the contents by using WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors that are usually installed in many content management systems. Using it is fairly simple.

Once it has been set up and is fully functioning, all that’s left to do is for the content editors to upload the necessary documents and that’s basically it.

Making use of a CMS also saves you a lot of space on your server and allows you to display dynamic content on your website. Apart from allowing people to easily organize the files and images in a website, content management systems are also used for streamlining business processes and enabling safe and secure file sharing within a company.

Features of content management systems

A CMS makes content organization and publishing very simple thanks to several features. With a CMS, you can easily schedule when your content will be published online, set permissions for each file in order to control access, and allow you to edit web-pages using rich text editors even if you don’t have any knowledge of HTML.

An important feature of a content management system is usability and how you can quickly integrate it in your system to work well with your existing website and its layout. Most content management systems have plug-ins that you can install in order to improve your site’s functionality.

You will also find that some available systems can already create an editable template for your website and others also go as far as allowing you to build your site structure and layout.

The interface also tends to be simple and user-friendly with a lot of simple tools that make it easy for everyone to work with website content.

How to choose the right CMS

Before buying, downloading, or creating your content management system, think about why you need one and what kind of website you intend to set up.

Do you plan to set it up for your business?

Is it for a webzine that would require you to publish articles regularly?

Maybe you want to set up an online store or a forum, or perhaps you’re simply setting up a website as a hobby.

Whatever kind of website you need, you have to select the CMS that will be capable of handling your needs. You also need to determine if your server supports databases such as MySQL or Oracle, which are needed for your CMS to function and other hosting requirements.

Presently, there is a lot of CMS software available. Some of them are used for commercial purposes and retail for thousands of dollars. But there are also many others that are available online. There are open source software providing a powerful set of features and capabilities, but which are free to use and can be easily installed on your server. The downside to using open source is that everything is basically helter skelter and trying to put all the pieces together to run your business can cost you weeks or even months of wasted time and resources.
