I might be getting ahead of myself, but I’m flying to Thailand next week and want to make as much progress as possible whilst I have internet access.

Whilst I was going to buy a themed page for my blog, I’m short of money and WordPress 2.8 has 35 pages of themes. It’s really easy … select a style you like, upload and activate it. (I chose Press Play 1.1)

Next I need to learn about widgets. This will require me to upload files to my site, so I downloaded some free FTP software from File Zilla at http://filezilla-project.org/download.php

Alex Jeffreys Marketing training provides the group of students with a Free Traffic Network Builder widget, the idea being to connect a network of bloggers in order to create a community.

After downloading the file, I fired up Zilla File and simplydragged it from my C: drive location to blog/wp-content/plugins. The next step is to activate the widget using the WordPress dashboard.

I’d been recommended a Social Networking widget called ‘Tell a Friend’ which I’ve also loaded in the same way. For more information on how to get ‘Tell a Friend’ look in my review section.
