Yorgo Nestoridis Design Brand Header
The site header is an important branding element. Logo, font and colors, eventually other visual elements are used to build a positive, recognizable image.
Yorgo Nestoridis Brand
A name can be a brand and if Yorgo Nestoridis wants to be a brand label, then that brand needs to be defined. What is Yorgo Nestoridis? It’s a person, a story, a product, a way to do things, a mission, a quality or an identification tag for all the aforesaid.
In this case, Yorgo Nestoridis stands for the human element behind product labels such as Semiomantics, YORGOO or related products.
Yorgo Nestoridis Logo
The brand elements are a logo in form of a picture or it’s derivatives:

Yorgo Nestoridis Brand Logo
Yorgo Nestoridis Font
The handwriting font is Dali for the signature and eventual other use at least for the time being; an original font is under construction.
Yorgo Nestoridis Color Scheme
Basically the web site color scheme is white to black with gray shades in between. Color accents are set with red #B30000 or blue #0000b3, black color can be replaced by black-blue #000125.
Yorgo Nestoridis black-blue color and red #b30000
The example for the Design web site does not use the Dali font as another handwriting font has been used for the site name (Art Decor).The name “by Yorgo Nestoridis” is in Tall Film.
Other schemes namely used for some products are the black-beige theme as seen here:
Yorgo Nestoridis black-beige color scheme
Beige color is #DECFAB.
This header can be created easily with simple means using GIMP, Photoshop or even Web Graphics Creator.

YORGOO Press Important Update
This post concerns Ycademy Pros and users of YORGOO Press and their Publications hosted on YORGOO Press Servers. Due to the complexity of Semiomantics Scripts and since we introduced the direct hooks to social networks in and out, some of the sites experienced a certain number of issues, leading us in certain cases to reset the sites. This concerns namely the sites of Felisa Ryan, Zo Nicholas, Larrie Perkins and Brenda Baker.
A solution is in view and will be implemented this week-end, time permitting.
The Goal
Semiomantics provides the best online publishing system to its users. It’s performance is proven daily and over time. Semiomantics Publishing is technically a complex issue and the sites set up for users and customers allow most anyone to achieve exceptional results, not only on Google Top 10 targets but also on social networks since we added social network publishing elements to the scripts.
There is no way we will cut the power of Semiomantics because of increased need of resources or to make concessions due to script or software incompatibility.
We aim to rewrite parts of Semiomantics scripts and to implement these to the suffering sites in order to get them all back to normal by Sunday Night with even higher capacities and more punch.
Furthermore: YORGOO Press is a concept allowing its users to use at any time the latest technology based on the latest script versions of the WordPress back-bone; the same applies to plug-ins. We want to keep it that way.
The Problem
WordPress has become more complex over time and as well WordPress and Plugin designers squat their scripts with links and features which are not relevant to any vital or essential function. However, with every upgrade we need more resources from our servers to run all the processes which are run automatically in the background for the benefit of script users.
We also notice that some parts of WordPress and some plug-in scripts are using an unjustifiable amount of memory due to bad coding. Updates on WordPress often entail an update of plug-in scripts and plug in updates may create compatibility problems within the mix of scripts used on each site.
Some of the most delicate plugins concerned are Twitter Tools and All in one SEO Pack namely in relation with the Semiomantics specific configuration. Permalink structures, canonical link configuration as well as the bit.ly add on script have caused some of the issues we are facing.
The Solution
There are 3 ways to improve the situation and to plan for future expansion:
1. Semiomantics scripts can be improved to handle more data using less resources (coding)
2. We will need to tweak and hack some of the more delicate plugins and to use our own versions of these modified plugins. (coding)
3. We can increase the memory allowance to each site. (money)
2 Test Sites: Zo Nicholas and Larrie Perkins
We have restored Larrie Perkins and Zo Nicholas sites using a mix of the 3 above mentioned recipes. For the time being they run smoothly. We are working with the data center on reorganization of our servers as we want to allocate 128 MB of memory to all sites and foresee a potential increase to 256MB. You can do the Math: how many sites will we be able to host on 4GB RAM server units …
It boils down to a simple conclusion: new WordPress versions in connection with certain plug-ins require loads of memory which cannot be found on shared hosts. The problem has been observed elsewhere as well and it seems that some hosting companies recommend, not to go beyond WP 2.7.1 on their shared host as memory limits are likely to bring the sites down.
On dedicated hosts, the limit is the total of server memory, the available RAM and this will simply limit the number of sites we are able to host on each server. Increase of capacity can be achieved by clustering more server units, meaning, it’s a question of cost.
Providing YORGOO Press users with the best solution is our highest goal and we do not mind paying the price for it. For this reason, YORGOO Press sites hosted on YORGOO Press Servers remain a privilege for Ycademy Pros and Ycademy Seminar Participants.

Communication through Social Networks
Why Social Networks?
As we pointed out in yesterday’s article, Social Networks are rapidly developing into the most profitable pool to fish from if it comes to promoting one’s product and/or service. In fact, it IS the biggest pond … after Google.
Socializing on Social Networks
However… people that flock to Social Networks – genre Twitter – don’t want to be bothered with ads… they want to ’socialize’, chat, talk, exchange thoughts, ideas and the odd virtual hug.
While we have to accept the fact that nothing – strictly nothing – on the Internet is private anymore… and if you’re a privacy paranoiac stay away from the net alltogether OR simply never write or post anything online that you don’t want to see exposed, especially not your most intimate thoughts (… I’m thinking of those who naively confy their private thoughts and feelings to an online “Diary” with the belief that noone would ever see it… we’ve seen tragedies happening and I address parents here to warn and guide their budding teenagers as this can have terrific future effects as we’ve already seen… ) … So while we have to live with that reality, there’s lots of space to meet, exchange ideas and recipes, show, comment, discuss and really have fun.
Pure Socializing Fun – no hidden agendas, no being beaten by make money online opportunities, none of that ’spam’ we all hate but have to live with… just as we have to accept the blinding and screaming way traditional advertising turns our cities into their own personal playground – with our consent or without it.
It’s just a fact of life. Accept it… or live in the sticks as I do :)
Social Networking like Barack Obama
Bianca Gubalke Advertising YORGOO Booster
So the message is clear: if we are Social Networkers we want to socialize and not be sold to – at least not with blunt marketing and advertising jargon.
Social Networking is Social Communication… and on the net it’s all about building your Name, Reputation, Authority… meaning a person to be trusted, a person to be followed, a person that is an opinion leader.
If you have achieved that position, if you can be trusted as while you’re human and can make errors, you don’t have hidden agendas but you earn your income with some sort of product or service as anyone else in life does, then people who follow you – say on the Social Networking platform Twitter – will happily look into your offer and/or service… for the simple reason that they need it, they know you and you can be found where they are looking.
They will be looking on Google, in the Social Network Keyword Searches… and then it’s a matter of applying the “Obama-before-President-style” and lead them to your dedicated Blog, your Networking and Communication Tools – nothing beats talking person to person – and Salespage.
The important point is that People on Social Networks find you when THEY want to find you.
Social Network Publishing
As explained in yesterday’s post
HERE, we have to write, edit and publish in a Google as well as Social Network efficient way.
For extraordinary results this means a focused mind with skillful Writing, Editing and Publishing… and most importantly to do so on an appropriate vehicle – in my case a Semiomantics Script by Internet GRizzard
Yorgo Nestoridis.
Seeing is believing – so let’s take my original article on
http://biancagubalke.com yesterday (27 July 2009) as an example:
Social Network Communication on Google Number One
CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE
"Social Network Communication" on Google Number One
WOW! I must admit I fell off my chair myself… as this result was achieved within less than 8 hours!
This is a Google Number One position on a traffic rich keyword – “Social Network Communication” with 107 Million Search Returns!!!And this was by far not the only result as we researched in the YORGOO Daily Training Call yesterday evening.
If you ask me how I did this…?
Social Networking Trainings with YCADEMY
I answered it above, fully and honestly…
And to this add the Knowledge and Skills acquired in the monthly YCADEMY Online Business Building Seminars available to all within the acclaimed yet highly lowkey
YORGOO Business Network.
Social Network Communication on Twitter
Is this for YOU? Can YOU do this?
I think Yes, YOU CAN!
Like you and millions of others, I am just a very normal person working online to establish myself in my dedicated niche… firstly as it’s my Passion and secondly as I have to feed the family.
As I work in a very focused way and with our huge YORGOO Team my Time Plan did not allow additional space for “Socializing”, I did not even have a Twitter account… can you believe it?
CLICK PICTURE TO ENLARGE
Click HERE and Follow me on Twitter !
However. . .
Following the YCADEMY Seminar, I just set it up as I realize I have to build a presence where the people are – and that’s on Social Networks like Twitter… so I just started Twittering… even me :)
Want to follow me?
That would be great…

The Social Network Publishing Model
By Yorgo Nestoridis
Social Network Publishing – How it works
In a recent post we have described a simple social network publishing model to be used to reach Google Top 10 using Twitter. That model was minimalist and simple, however it works very well. This post will give some more details about “how it works”. Yesterdays experiment with the keyword “Social Network Publishing” is a live demo of what this post contains.
Social Network Publishing: Content
At the base there is content. Stuff which may be of interest to readers. In the case of Twitter, people either punch in that they are just brushing their teeth with their mouse or that they have just found a funny clip or an interesting website.
The content is the clip, the interesting post or picture. Publishing to Social Networks means talking about “what we are doing” in respect to particular content.
This is where Social network Marketing comes in: if the content we are posting about is commercial or has a commercial aspect, then the beneficiary of that content gets his promotion. The beneficiary is the owner of the commercial link (affiliate link, sales page, PayPal button and so on).
Social Network Marketing is using Social Network Publishing strategies to bring commercial content in front to a maximum of more or less interested people.
In clear: Your Goal is to funnel your commercial hooks into Social Networks and to multiply them (viral expansion) throughout the Social Network.
There fore it is important to prepare your content before posting to social networks.
[yorgooads]
Social Network Publishing: Means
The most direct way to publish is from inside the social network, meaning you log in and glue whatever you like to share to your wall.
Posting from inside is cheap, as it is for free. However, the money you save you spend in time. Working just from inside is time consuming and then, you still need a place to send your followers to for the content, which ideally is your website, but which could also be just affiliate links from which you can expect some rewards in case of conversion.
To make things more efficient, I prefer using a personal website from which I can initiate the information flow into Social networks. This website is a typical example.
Then, to monitor the flow and to recover the feed backs, I drive the content of my wall out of the social network, again into my own website (can be the same or a second site. I prefer using a second site or the type U Q Me to aggregate all streams from various social networks.
Finally, I would like to convert the Social Network Feed streams into Google efficient content. For this reason I grab the content from the aggregator (U Q Me) and feed it into Google efficient contextual frameworks, such as a YORGOO Booster or a YORGOO Blaster.
Social Network Publishing : Automation
Once the Publishing Model in place, your processes are highly automated as you only need to initiate the flow of information. You could even do better: you could automate the initiation as explained in the Ycademy Seminar “Set and Forget”:
Automation using technical means or automation counting on the viral potential of social network publishing.
Working from home or anywhere
Using Semiomantics Frameworks and Ycademy strategies, I can quietly stay at the beach while the web and those hanging out there are working for me :-).
Hey, I have even a better model in store:
Get out of the Google Top 10 Slavery
The Google Top 10 Slavery is based on the fact, that to maintain Google Top 10 positions, you need to continuously update your dynamic content and you must continuously promote your static content.
At the Ycademy Seminar taking Place on July 25 and 26 we will show you how to get rid of the Google Top 10 chains using Semiomantics and Ycademy recommendations for Social Network Publishing.
Find more information about the Seminar on Google :-).
The Social Network publshing model allows anyone to work from anywhere where. The dream model for anyone working from home on their home business.

WordPress 2.8.1 upgrade to WordPress 2.8.2
The latest WP upgrade from version 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 is a minor upgrade whereas only 8 small files need to be changed.
Download the 2.8.2 upgrade files
In stead of automatically upgrading from your dashboard, which may fail as many people upgrade at the same time and which takes quite some time, just download the modified files and overwrite the corresponding files of your existing installation.
Download from HERE
Upgrade to WP 2.8.2
1. Unzip the downloaded file. You find a folder called 2.8.2.
2. Open the folder 2.8.2 and upload the content to your WP root, merging wp-admin, wp-includes and readme.html
Done.
Semiomantics Scripts

Congratulations: the fourth democratic and peacefully conducted elections in South Africa are over with Jacob Zuma being the new president of our mutually cherished Rainbow Nation - as expected.
A triumphant victory for the ANC - even without attaining the 2/3 majority many had hoped for… and others had feared in view of the power it would have given to change the Constitution unilaterally… a Constitution that in my view is simply brilliantly drafted and just needs to be implemented - fullstop.
“A person is a person through other persons” - African Idiom
Steering a multi-cultural vessel through the prevailing times with huge economic changes taking place all around the planet is no easy task and while a president is one thing - and in my eyes the first servant of his people - a country is about its people… people talking to people… and people are a mosaic of individuals - and it’s up to these indivduals to stand together and build their nation. Napoleon, Gandhi, Mandela - politically speaking, the world has always been moved or shifted by strong personalities - be it for the good or the bad… but they stood on the shoulders of others who remain unnamed, uncelebrated, yet served their purpose in ploughing the way forward and helping great minds and leaders to sprout, grow and take their place in the limelight - to lead, to give, to serve - and yes, to destroy. But they couldn’t have done so alone - if we are in the ‘knowing’ we are all part of the decision, our attitude steers future developments and evolution and we all share the responsibilies.
Bianca Gubalke Spontaneous Sketches 7
The elections are over and Jacob Zuma - who has been the most outspoken in his criticism of Robert Mugabe’s autocratic rule that destroyed one of Africa’s most beautiful, highly productive and immensely wealthy countries - a country that supplied food for Africa and Africans: Zimbabwe, says he has no time to lose:
“This is a time to bury uncertainty, pain and tension. We cannot afford to dwell on the negative, we have work to do.”
YEBO - let’s go do it!
