Zero 2 Web Hero – In the Beginning…
If you are reading this on the day Muck Tech launches, you most likely are thinking “wow, what a crappy site. Could you be more generic?”
Actually I can’t. This is a default WordPress setup with a very few exemptions.
So why would I – a person starting a technology website and with significant background in web creation – setup his newest site with a default theme and look? The answer, it’s all for you.
Zero 2 Web Hero (Z2WH) is a series of articles I will write as I go from a default Wordpres install into a top-notch website. You will see the changes happening and explained as I make them. Over the next few months this site will go from generic to a revenue-generating website.
I hope you find this tutorial series useful. If you have any questions as I progress, you can ask them in the comments or email me at jd [at] mucktech [dot]com.
Sounds good – I’ll look forward to the tutorials. And to navigating the bump in the road when WordPress 3.0 comes out this spring with a new generic default theme, “2010.”
Yea, I looked at WP 3.0 before I started this, and it doesn’t seem like it should be too bad. The biggest thing is the integration with MU. It should make for a couple good updates right in the middle of improving this site.
Thanks for the support!
Good reading, going to follow along step by step as I work on my own blog. Its a writing for the sake of writing blog as opposed to anything serious, but it looks to be a good experience.
