Semiomantics XO Advertising
Have you ever heard of Semiomantics XO? Well, it’s one of the best blog scripts that I know and I have tried and tested a few over the past few years. Not only is it the best performing script but that it is so versatile, totally flexible and adaptable to any theme that’s why I have added it to my Small Business Shop.

I personally prefer a clean, crisp site that is easily navigated and presents the blog post in clearly defined matter. Others I know prefer a much more ornate style with lots of graphics and flashes. There’s a whole range of top performing and highly efficient Semiomantics XO scripts such as Business Blogs, Online Newspaper (Newscast theme) to name a few as well as the latest Semiomantics Evolution, media focused flash that can be customized and adapted to customer requirements.
Affordable Blog Design
If you are looking for affordable blog design with top performance then the Semiomantics XO is really worth investigating. Each script is custom made and totally unique and designed to reach high visibility on search engines such as Google. All sites can offer galleries, portfolio, shop depending on personal preferences and demand.
* The advertising banner for the Semiomantics XO was created during an Ycademy Workshop. Ycademy Trainings are open to all Ycademy paid members and cover various topics and themes throughout the year as well as monthly seminars dedicated to a specific subject. For more details please use the contact form.

Learning Basics of HTML
When you first start to do things on the internet you are quite happy to follow existing programs getting the feel of how it all operates and learning how to find your way around. Then comes the time when you want to start branching out a little on your own, doing things for yourself. This is the time when you need to learn some basics, like learning the ABC of the internet, learning some Basics of HTML.
Some people are put of by this notion of learning something new thinking its really difficult, however HTML really isn’t that hard. Remember when you first stared to do sums at school? well once you understood how it all worked it was all easy. HTML is pretty simple.
Basics of HTML
HTML stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. The language is easy, its plain english.The words we use everyday. To get these words to be visible in a browser we need to give the browser instructions to read them. The instructions are the HTML, this is what the browser looks for to display correctly what you have written.
HTML Tags
Instructions come in the form of a series of tags <tag>. Each tag gives an instruction. Each tag is a keyword surrounded by brackets <tag>. Its very much like the training soldiers receive to stand to attention and then to be at ease. You give the command, then you close or finish the command. So we have an opening <tag> and a closing </tag>. The / tells us its the closing tag instruction.
Just learning a few basic tag functions will help you with some very basics tasks online like inserting the html code for a banner for example. I remember myself the frustration I had when trying to do this when I first ventured out online without first learning some Basic HTML. Had I first learnt some of the basics I wouldn’t have wasted an hour or two in frustration.

Ycademy Basic HTML
Having a handy reference that you can refer to at anytime, like the ‘Ycademy Basic HTML’ is so useful, and you can return to it time and time again till you are more proficient in what you do. Printing out a copy and keeping it handy I personally found was easier. I was educated in the era when printed matter was all there was so old habits die hard.

WP Best NewsPaper Theme
Choosing a new theme to use for a website is not a decision to be taken lightly. There are a few issues to consider carefully and it all really depends on the main purpose of the website. Once the purpose is agreed upon then choosing the correct theme is a more simplified process. One of the best themes around that I know of is the WP Best Newspaper Theme – a theme that can be applied to most any purpose as it is so adaptable and can be used as a basic platform for most anything.
The WP Best Newspaper Theme based on the Semiomantics NewsCast Script is an all time favourite with many online publishers. The Best WP Newspaper Theme is one of many themes developed and tuned by Semiomantics. The theme utilises an attractive layout, magazine or news, that introduces both text and graphics and is suitable for countless online applications such as gardening news, car sales, real estate, holidays just to name a few.
Best WP NewsPaper Features
Here are just a few of the features that make this newspaper theme administratively friendly:
* Easy to admin area – navigate through various sections with ease
* Media Gallery for both images/photos and video
* Auto image resizer – easily display photos and images
* Easy to use category navigation
* Countless Widgets increasing flexibility of layout and composition.
* Banner Ad Management area
* Small Ad Management area
* Ideal for product integration
* Easily adapted for Social Network Marketing
As with any other newspaper, the ad management areas can be used to sell advertising space to clients or as an advertising space for personal products or affiliate marketing.
The Newspaper theme is also very much a firm favourite with many marketers who use it as a platform to display products with both images and detailed product information creating a very eye catching display. You can take any plain site and turn it into an attractive feature-rich portal. With its ease of customisation its a quick and easy way to have a professional looking site.
Best WP NewsPaper by Semiomantics
Not everyone has the time to take out from their busy schedule or business to learn how to set up a site nor how to configure it to reach the highest performance levels on search engines as is needed to successfully market products online. At Small Busines Consulting we take the time to listen to your specific business requirements to provide you with the best possible solution.

Branding Yourself Online
Following upon on my previous posts about branding and branding your business online it is also important to brand yourself, taking control of your own name, your image and your reputation, and your authority, if you don’t others will do it for you and maybe even not too kindly.
Personal Branding
Personal branding is all about ‘YOU’, who you are and what you stand for, and how you want others to see you, your personal identity. First impressions are still so important. This impression online is created by what you write about, how you write it and how you present yourself visually via a personal blog, website or these days on any of the interactive social media sites like Facebook. Today online its about transparency, being visible, openness and accountability.
Developing your personal brand, your personal style comes with time but the ‘basic elements’ of who you are remain the same. Developing ‘YOU’ comes from a lot of soul searching and from digging deep in your own ‘Secret Garden’, which is certainly not an over night affair.
Your Personal Brand
Your Personal Brand is all about communication, letting others communicate with you, creating trust and empathy. Every visual aspect of you, your business, your personal information portrays you. Always be true to you!
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” Judy Garland
Personal Blog
To have a Personal blog or website is a real ‘MUST HAVE’, in order to be in total control of your name, your image and what you stand for. A place where you can portray yourself in who you are and what you do, your like and dislikes, building your authority. A complete package that can be identified as you in your writing, your style and your images.
AND….. it is all very much tied up in the wrapping, the presentation. It all counts. Your site communicates, builds empathy, builds relationships. Blogs are very much an asset these days as they increase your visibility ranking higher on search engines.
You may not be the worlds best but demonstrating your authenticity, integrity, honesty goes a long way to creating a positive image online.

YORGOO Publishing Network
YORGOO Publishing needs a major overhaul which we will implement during the next few days. The changes are of structural and visual nature.
YORGOO Publishing Purpose
YORGOO Publishing has been created to promote original content and sites from Home Business Builders helping them to Make Money online. In the mean time YORGOO Publishing has grown to a highly visible network of online publications well beyond the limits of home business. YORGOO Publishing is associating external authority authors providing original content about topics of global interest.
YORGOO Publishing aims increasingly to provide content delivery services to third party sites and aggregators. The give and take deal will help us and our authors to gain further visibility and promotion by attracting wider circles of readership also through Social Network Publishing.
YORGOO Publishing Network
YORGOO Publishing will run under the name YORGOO Publishing Network a number of specialized publications to better serve the purpose of third party aggregators and networks. We have registered yorgoopublishing.net and set up appropriate hosting for this purpose. To start with, YORGOO Publishing Network will be built to better penetrate the core markets of YORGOO Publishing. Thereafter we will provide YORGOO Publishing Network access to customersproviding them with editing and publishing services.
Our primary aim remains Google Top 10 to which we add new modules targeting Social Network Search Engines.
YORGOO Publishing new Structure
YORGOO Publishing will abandon it’s wide category structure; today we have reduced the over 1500 categories to 517 and we will reduce further to below 100 including sub-categories.
A new semantic dictionary is being added to the site to compensate for the smaller number of categories and canonical links. We are focusing on the vocabularies resulting from our performance metrics collected during the 16 months of YORGOO Publishing’s online existence.
Our about 8500 daily visitors originate mainly from Google, allowing to track the search terms and to establish more targeted publishing and editing profiles and campaigns.
YORGOO Publishing new Web Site
This week we will load a new Semiomantics Web Site to YORGOO Publishing; as usual, YORGOO Publishing is at the forefront of Semiomantics Developments to test new modules, strategies, code and effects.
WordPress Content Management System
YORGOO Publishing will continue to use a WordPress backbone for content management and dynamic publishing.
We bring your Blog to Mainstreet
The new site will provide improved Feed capabilities, allowing to syndicate content selections easily and to fetch more targeted content.
The Global syndication link will remain with Feedburner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/YorgoosMakeMoneyWithHomeBusiness-Digest
This is the link which helps any blog to quickly gain visibility on Google and other Search Engines :-).
More to follow.

Digital Photography
Digital photography has made photography simpler and definitely more fun these days. Instant imaging is being used everyday, not only by professionals but by so many on the world wide web, email or cell phone due to its convenience and speed.
Old cameras – Kodak Brownie
Never mind the ‘days of the old school yard’, do you remember the days of the good old ‘Kodak Brownie’? I certainly do!
My first ever camera, the Kodak Brownie 127, my first real treasure. My prize possesion, carefully protected in a brown canvas cover with a leather strap. Worn round the neck and used with such pride, brought out of he cupboard to record family events and outings.

The frustration and fun trying to load the film onto the spool, getting the film lined up carefully with the little sprockets so that when you rolled it on it was all aligned and not askew. And so few exposures on the film, so no messing about, you had to get your subject lined up correctly, no second chances. Smile, keep still, say cheese!
Then the impatience in the waiting, in getting the film developed. Would or wouldn’t it all come out as you wanted, did you make any mistakes.
Digital cameras
We have progressed, its the age of the digital camera. Shoot away! No film to reel in, to develop. Just shoot till you drop. Select what is good, discard the rest. Play with your photo editor till you achieve the desired image and print or publish to the world wide web for all to see.

Today with my new digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix P90, I have more fun with no hassles. Its a go anywhere camera with so many superb features. It really is so easy today. With a bit of practice and patience most anyone with a digital camera can produce a good photo.
