DAVID
Hi, I’m David Congreave and this is my assistant, Bethany Rudkin. This week we’re going to be talking about the fastest way to get a website up and running.

BETHANY
Yes and I know all about how to do this because I recently created my new website at *bleep*.com

DAVID
What did I tell you about self-promotion.

BETHANY
Don’t do it or you’ll beat me within an inch…

DAVID
Exactly.

BETHANY
Sorry. I just wanted to tell people about my website *bleep*.com

DAVID
Seriously, stop it. If you want to do something useful, why don’t you tell the viewers how you got your website up and running?

BETHANY
I used a service called Fantastico to install a WordPress blog. It uploads all the files, automatically so I didn’t need to do anything technical to get it working.

DAVID
Fantastico is a service provide by web hosts who use the cpanel interface. I can recommend Hostgator as a web host. They use cpanel and you can get a starter account for less than $5 per month.

BETHANY
You can also choose whether you want your blog to be installed in you root directory, or in a sub-domain folder. For example, my blog is hosted under the domain *bleep*.com, though I could have chosen to install it under *bleep*.com/blog

BETHANY
Sorry

DAVID
Once the blog is installed, you’ll want to spend some time playing around with the settings. But as an alternative, if you’re really pressed for time, you can have a WordPress blog installed and setup for you at ninjablogsetup.com. If you purchase an account with one of their recommended web hosts, then they’ll do all the work for you, absolutely free. So no excuses – if you’ve yet to get your first website up and running, then this is arguably the fastest and easiest way to get started.

Bethany, anything to add?

BETHANY
Wouldn’t it help the viewers to see an example? Such as *bleep*.com?

DAVID
Right, that’s it, go back to work.

DAVID
Go!

DAVID
And that’s it. If you need more help with this, wordpress.org has a support forum and some detailed articles outlining the process we’ve just described.
So that’s all for today. Have a great day and I’ll see you again next week.

BETHANY
I made you a drink, sorry.

Addiction Focus: A New Addiction Treatment Blog

04 Mar

As part of the Addictions UK marketing campaign, I’ve recently created a new blog called Addiction Focus. It’s designed to offer a central location for posting addiction-related news, as well as testimonials by people with addictions and addiction treatment counsellors.

At the time of writing, Addiction Focus has just a handful of posts but I’d still encourage you to drop by and see what we’re doing here.

If you’d like to offer your support, what we really need at the moment is help spreading the word. If you’re able to post a few words about Addiction Focus on your own blog that would be hugely appreciated. Alternatively, if you can simply place a link back to addictionfocus.com from your blog or website, that would also be very welcome.

Feel free to post your comments and suggestions below.

Best wishes,
David Congreave
