How to Teach an Online Course using WordPress


Develop your content for the course. You can follow the instructions in my related article, How to Develop a Training Course (link in Resources below) or follow your own template for curriculum design. It is important to create the entire course in a word processing program first. The entire course will consist of reading assignments, links to Websites, discussion questions, detailed instructions for assignments and instructions for the instructor on how and when to post various components of the course.
Open a new blog on WordPress.com (link in resources below) or other free blog hosting site. Create the first page of the blog. This will be the landing page for your students so include the course description here as well as instructions about how to access the remainder of the course. The content on this page is considered to be static, it should not change after the course starts.
When you are on the editing site for this first page there are some things to remember to do:
Password protect the page. This is to make sure that no-one can access the site without your permission (and without paying tuition).
Turn off the comments part of the page. You do not want students to comment here. You want to contain the comments in specific pages set up for discussion.
Post your photo and contact information on this first page, which is usually called the Home page of the blog.

How to Stream MP3 Music on Your Blog


Add some basic HTML code for a simple, functional way to add a streaming MP3 to your blog. First, upload the MP3 file to your blog website or another hosting service so it is available on the Internet. Then, insert the following into the HTML code of your blog, using the URL of your MP3 file in the first two lines:
Use Martin Laine's Flash-based WordPress Audio Player for a compact player with a clean appearance visible to any user with the Flash plugin. First, download the standalone player (see Resources), then unzip and find the file 'player.swf'. Upload this file and your MP3 file so they are both accessible on the Internet, then use the following HTML code in your blog website, replacing the URL of the player and MP3 file where appropriate in the first three lines:
Note that if you happen to be using the WordPress blog publishing tool, you can integrate this player into your blog as a WordPress plugin. See Martin's website in the Resources section for details.
Try the various forms of the open-source MP3 Player for an alternative Flash-based player that is easy to customize. Follow the link in the Resources section, then choose among the player types in the 'Various types' section of the page. Use either 'MINI', 'NORMAL', or 'MULTI' at first. Click the 'Generator' link to customize the player and generate the HTML code you can add to your blog. The MP3 file should be uploaded to a web host as in the previous examples.

How to Make Money Online in Singapore (5 Steps)


Sign up for web hosting and a domain name. Having your own host enables you to moderate your website however you like. Many free web hosts put their own limitations and advertisements on your website, so it is best to avoid them. Having your own domain name allows you to create your own internet persona and enables you to resell the website domain in the future.
Create your website. With the advent of Content Management Systems (CMS) the average Internet user can set up a website in minutes. For example, Wordpress is a free CMS that is famous for its five-minute installation. Content management systems allow you to build and moderate websites with flexibility and ease.
Sign up for advertising and affiliate programs like Amazon Associates and Google Adsense. These services allow you to place advertisements and affiliate links on your website, earning you a commission every time someone clicks an ad or purchases a product.
Place advertisements and affiliate links in or beside your website content. For example, a review about a laptop should have an Amazon affiliate link that leads to that laptop's web page. Google Adsense ads should be placed close to website content to catch the attention (and hopefully the interest) of a user, increasing your chances of a click.
Drive traffic to your website. No traffic means no revenue. You should get traffic by writing quality content and letting people know about it through social media sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. In addition, there are paid traffic sites that direct website visitors your way for a set fee.

Secure a web hosting provider that supplies SQL database and PHP, ASP or any of the standard web based script technologies with their plan. Most of the reasonably priced hosting providers provide these technologies in their basic plans.
Download one of the free Content Management System (CMS) software packages such as Joomla, Drupal or WordPress and install it on your web server. Most web hosting providers have automated scripts to perform this function for you in one simple step.
Download and install social or group module supported by your CMS of choice. Most web hosting providers supply scripts that support these functions.Suggestions: JomSocial for Joomla, ferdi for Drupal and BuddyPress for WordPress.Many of the software plans are relatively inexpensive or free, but worth the small purchase in some cases.

How to Download and Use Website Templates (5 Steps)


Search for template sites online, looking for a template that suits your needs. If you're creating a website for a business such as real estate or accounting, you can find several templates with themes suited to those industries. If you're creating a personal website, find a design that suits your personality or the topics you'll be covering on your website. Note which platforms the templates are designed to work on. Some are for use with Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage or WordPress. Note that Dreamweaver and FrontPage would need to be purchased if they didn't come with your computer. WordPress can be downloaded for free.
Download the template by clicking on the 'Download' button on the page where you found the template. If it isn't free, you will have to purchase it before you will have access to a download link.
Unzip the files after they've been downloaded onto your computer. Double-click on the Zip file, or right-click and select 'Unzip File'. You will be prompted to select a place to which to extract the files. Create a new folder on your computer with a name and location that you will remember.
Upload the files. Your website hosting provider may have an online file manager so you can transfer the files to their server. If not, you will need to download an FTP program. You can find various FTP programs for free online. Connect to your host using your username, password and FTP address. Contact your host for this information if you don't know it. Upload the template into the public_html folder if you can find this folder on your host's server. If you can't, contact your host and ask them for the appropriate place to upload the files.
Access your administration panel through your website platform. This could be WordPress, FrontPage, Dreamweaver or another program. You will generally need a username and password to access it. You can change the text and make some design adjustments if the template allows.
