It's pretty easy to add people to your WordPress site, but did you know that you can assign a new user different levels of capability? You may look at these roles in the drop-down box and say, fine and dandy, but what do they actually mean?]]> http://lyricalbiz.com/2011/wordpress-user-roles-defined/feed/ 3 http://lyricalbiz.com/2011/seopressor%e2%80%94who-can-really-benefit-from-this-wordpress-seo-tool/ http://lyricalbiz.com/2011/seopressor%e2%80%94who-can-really-benefit-from-this-wordpress-seo-tool/#comments Sat, 03 Sep 2011 22:27:11 +0000 Lisa Drew, LyricalBiz http://lyricalbiz.com/?p=2512 With the large amount of popularity that SEOPressor is gaining of late, it is worthwhile to see who this tool can really help. Internet marketers of today aren’t a uniform lot—they are dabbling with various kinds of businesses—and hence it is very difficult to have something that can work for all of them. However, it can definitely be said that SEOPressor breaks convention. The tool is so designed that it helps Internet marketers get the one thing that all of them hanker for—number 1 position on the search engine ranking pages, especially the Google search engine. Now, if you have a Wordpress website or a WordPress blog—which is constantly updated, you will see that SEOPressor can add immensely to its SEO value. ]]> http://lyricalbiz.com/2011/seopressor%e2%80%94who-can-really-benefit-from-this-wordpress-seo-tool/feed/ 1 http://lyricalbiz.com/2011/about-hosting-and-domains/ http://lyricalbiz.com/2011/about-hosting-and-domains/#comments Fri, 26 Aug 2011 06:05:57 +0000 Lisa Drew, LyricalBiz http://lyricalbiz.com/?p=492 Every now and again, there is a client of mine that gets confused about hosting and domains - don't they renew at the same time?
