  upgrade to 2.8.6

  It is that time again. Word Press has come out with a new upgrade. You can upgrade your Word Press automatically by clicking at the top of your screen when you first log in to your blog.

• It is important to make sure you keep up to date on your upgrades to keep your blog from getting hacked.  Many times, these upgrades are done to not only add more functions and features to your blog, but to update potential security issues that have surfaced.

• Always make sure to keep your word press blog updated and current as a first defense to keep from getting hacked.

P.S. Thank you for taking your time to visit and hope you find the information useful. I hope to help you learn everything you want and need to know about blogging. I welcome your questions (site specific is good) and definitely your suggestions. I hope to answer your questions before they come up or when you find that you have one. By clicking on the Orange RSS Feed button on the left side of the screen, you will be automatically updated of new information available without having to "check in" to see what's new. It's the easiest way to keep up to date. Thanks again for stopping in, I value your time!

• To help give some ideas on the structure of a blog, I have a couple to point out that may not look like blogs, even though they are. A blog can be set up to look like a blog or to have the look and feel of a website. These websites are actually blogs, built in Joomla, which you can learn how to use by visiting www.onlinebusinessacademy.net.

• When you register at Online Business Academy, you have access to all of the video tutorials that teach you how to build in Joomla. Though this blog is in Word Press, I really do prefer Joomla as a platform and find I more flexibility with it.

• Another site that was built using Joomla as a platform is “San Ramon Homes”, address http://www.mysanramonhomes.com.  Because PrinterBees really does specialize in working with the real estate community, this is an example of one of the sites we have put up to help one of our “San Ramon Realtor” clients.

• The website/blog for Livermore Martial Arts was also built in Joomla, which again you can learn more about by visiting Online Business Academy.

• Happy Blogging and Web Site building.  It isn’t too difficult to get your own sites up with some great how to blog tutorials like the ones mentioned above or on this blog on “how to blog”.
