Creating your own Website and WordPress?

December 12, 2008  |  Author: admin  |  Category: portland power blogger

So, I want to create my own personal Website by purchasing a domain name and web host. However, after I do all of that, I'm going to be loss, as admittably I've no idea what to do.
When you go into websites that are about blogging, and you scroll to the very bottom, I often see Powered by WordPress. What I was wondering was, the site WordPress, does it give you everything to create your website, i.e. aesthetic?

yes, for it gives you templates which you change anything.

You could call Wordpress a web program.

The template (which can be changed anytime, with your own or pre-done) has everything layout for you. All you have to do is log in and write the post.

You can always try it out at http://wordpress.com/ before installing it on your own domain.

It requires that MySQL and PHP be installed on the server. Look out for that before buying.

Turning a hobby auto website into a business to deduct expenses?

December 12, 2008  |  Author: admin  |  Category: portland power blogger

Question about taxes and a car-I know that you can't put an ad for a business on your personal car and claim the car as a deduction.

But what if your business is a car website/forum for a specific model of car? The site/forum shows how to do car maintenance, answers other's questions, install power upgrades and aftermarket parts, making misc. modifications, and blogging about the experiences and daily driving mileage. The only income will be from google ads and bumper stickers and is very small.

I would only take a hobby and turn it into a business if I can claim the personal car as a business expense since the business IS writing, modifying, all about the car.

The expenses are the purchase price, depreciation, car parts/ modifications, gas, registration, insurance, parking space, tools to work on the car. The purpose is to add content to the site and are all exclusively for the website's car. Even if I can only claim the cost of car mods and tools, this is over $5k/year.

Does anyone have a new and innovative idea for a new forum and/or website?

December 12, 2008  |  Author: admin  |  Category: portland power blogger

I have a website, www.tikuiaku.com, and I'm not sure what to do with it. I have Invision Power Board (a powerful forum software), as well as the ability to use a wiki, blogging, and other features for a website.

I need an idea for my forum/website that would be new and different and that would attract visitors. Right now, I don't have any ideas.

Do you have any ideas for my forum/website? Is there some type of website that you've always wanted to see, but it was never created? I need your help!

I can't get your website to come up at all, so check that lol! Gambling and celebrities are popular, so how about a site where we all guess who will be the next celebrity to go to rehab or jail? You don't actually have to take money like a real gambling site though, you could just figure out a (cheap) prize to give to a winner.
