Anyone with a Word Press blog knows how frustrating it can be with all the spam comments. Today I installed Disqus comment management service. This is a free plug in for Word Press that can manage your comments. With many features and the ability to filter spam comments. It’s nice to not have to worry about comments and have a free service to handle everything. The plug in was very easy to install and to get it working properly. If you want a great comment management system for Word Press visit www.disqus.com and please if you have a comment you can try Disqus for yourself. One other great thing is the ability to share the commnet with a users Twitter or Facebook account.

The last few weeks have been crazy with WordPress updates. The first one I did almost killed my blog. Since then I have made sure to turn plug-ins off. This seems to help and the upgrades have been working properly.

Every time I do an update I feel like the blog is going to get corrupted. If you are not backing up your database you should before any WordPress update. It’s better to be safe then sorry. Let’s hope this is the end of updates for awhile.

It was a tense few moments today as I tired to upgrade to WordPress 2.8 and was horrified to not being able to get back to my admin. The upgrade seemed to have worked, and then tragedy struck. There was a fatal error message. I thought I had lost everything on this blog. What a nightmare to have to relocate everything from Google cache pages or to re-write the whole site. If anything I learned today to back up your WordPress database and to make sure you check the WordPress site for any known issues. Very happy to have the site back up and avoid all the hassles of having to re-do this site.

As many of the seasoned affiliate marketers know WordPress is king. If you are building sites to promote your affiliate offers, then WordPress is the easiest way to get going. With just a little tweaking you can set up a very nice looking site with little effort. Ever since I started to use WordPress I have seen my affiliate income go up. There is something about a blog that the average consumer can related with. There are some amazing themes that you can use to make your site fit into what every you are promoting. If you have not used WordPress to build affiliate offer sites, play around with WordPress you can do wonders without much experience. The best part is that you can install the software very easily through most ISP’s. Look around and you will find amazing plug-ins that let you add so much function to your sites. If you want to make more money online learn how to use WordPress and how to customize it to your needs. Once you learn you are on your way to affiliate success.

It started a few weeks ago with a search for a new theme. The previous them on Vendingmatic was practical, but felt a little tight. The posts were also a little difficult to read in the color that the theme had set. Looking at this new them it feels clean with no clutter and it makes reading better. Looking at adding a few more features, but for now hope you will find this a better theme and continue to read this blog.

Today the blog got a new theme. This theme works much better with the information in the blog. There are some new features added and RSS is now working. It was very simple to change the theme and get everything running the way it should.

The next few days I will be adding more content and make a few more changes. You got to love WordPress it is the easiest blogging software around and with so many plugins you can do almost anything with this platform.

My other blog which I started about 5 months ago is www.moneymyweb.com which I set up with godaddy.com’s Quick Blogcast. Well it is sad to say, but that blog has not done to well getting index with the search engines. The fault me be with the blog software that godaddy.com uses. You are very limited as to what can be added or changed. This has made me question if I should just kill that site. Since I paid for a year of service and the domain, I might just keep it going and try to get some traffic over the next little while. The Quick Blogcast platform was a big disappointment.

At the time I set up the blog I did not think of just getting hosting and adding Wordpress like I did with this site. Well I can still update www.moneymyweb.com and copy some of the content to this site. The next blog I create will for sure be a Wordpress very easy to use and many great features.

Welcome,

This is the first post for Vendingmatic. This blog is about using the internet as your own vending machine. There are many people making money on the internet and I will update this blog with new ideas for you to try and make money online.

Since this is the first time I have used Wordpress I might encounter a few problems while I learn to use the software. The first thing I need to do is change a few colors and start adding content. As a new blog I will also need to figure out the SEO to get the site indexed by the big search engines. Well I will keep doing some research and should have some interesting post soon.
