The “Simply Valid” WordPress Theme

Yes, my WordPress theme is now available!

It’s called “Simply Valid“, a huge thanks to Tobsy from BloggersJourney for coming up with this title. I think it fits really well :)

There are 2 versions to the Simply Valid theme, a light, white background version, and a darker one. Both CSS valid.

Of course the Simply Valid theme is widget ready. Also, I will post a list of the plugins I’ve tested and I know works with it. (soon) Check out the demo site: [Read more →]

I’m Listening! :)

As you can see I changed the design (again) on SmartWealthyRich. Yesterday I put a new design up, but, ya know, you have to listen to your people, so I decided to make some changes.

I know Snoskred was a big fan of the green arrow I had in the logo before, so I decided to put the arrow back, not green, but it’s there ;)

Rob thought the big “seal” in the logo was a little overwhelming, and looking back I have to agree, so that is gone!

Baloot said the text in the header was a little hard to read, I think it’s fixed now! [Read more →]

Working With Not So Reliable Tools - I Want Better Communication!

Businessman - Unreliable ToolsThe tools you use that help you run your business, or in my case my blogs, can easily become a pain if you don’t chose carefully which tools you use. And I’m experiencing just that. Not that I chose unreliable tools, but let’s just say they’re not all up to my standards.

Reliable And Unreliable Blogging Tools

Of course, using wordpress as my blogging platform was an excellent choice, and I wouldn’t start a blog on any platform other than wordpress. With the hundreds (or thousands) of plugins available and the awesome support from the wordpress community, to me, it’s a no-brainer. [Read more →]

New Bling Bling… er… Design I Mean!

Well, as you can see I changed my blog design! If you’re reading my blog through RSS, please take some time to visit the site and check it out, and leave your comments, it’s always appreciated.

This new design is still based on the Cutline theme, but it’s a modified 3 columns version. I wanted something cleaner and with more whitespace, and I think it does the job just fine. I tested the new design in Safari, Firefox and Opera on Mac OSX 10.4.9 and with Browser Cam for Windows OS and browsers, cause I don’t have access to a PC, so it is expected that there will be some minor bugs, which will be fixed if you let me know! :) [Read more →]

Small Tweaks And Changes

Hello! Just a quick note to let you know that my “blogroll” now has its own page! Clicking on the “Links” link in the top navigation menu will take you to my “Worth Reading Blogs” page. Please take some time to check out some blogs listed on that page, you can see it as my “personal recommendations“, and I listed the blogs by category. Please contact me if you would like to have your link added or would like me to make any changes. Thanx!

I also installed the Top Commentators plugin, simple way to reward the people that take the time to leave comments on the posts and add to the conversations (this last part is really important to me!) Oh! And I already have DoFollow enabled, but being in the “Conversationalists” list in the sidebar means a link back from a PR4 blog, and your link displayed on every single page (site-wide)

That’s it! :)
Take care!

Link Directory - Blog Jobs Board - New Project

Some time ago I wrote a post regarding the addition of a couple of new features and sections on SmartWealthyRich. First one to see the day will be the Link Directory, then the Blog Jobs Board. I decided not to add a forum because I believe it would be too time-consuming to manage it. Thanx to all of you who replied to the other post, your input, as always, is greatly appreciated! :)

So here are some of the latest news, and what’s coming on SmartWealthyRich in the next weeks. [Read more →]

Update - RSS Feed Readers

First i’d like to thank all of you who read my blog through RSS! It’s awesome! One thing though, when you run a blog, wordpress provides you with a default RSS link which usually looks like this:

http://smartwealthyrich.com/feed/

And since some time i’m running my RSS Feed with Feedburner, and the URL looks like this:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/smartwealthyrich

To keep on improving my blog and keep on tweaking stuff, it’s always a good idea to keep track of statistics. Unfortunatly wordpress doesn’t keep track of the number of RSS subscribers, but Feedburner does.

So i installed a nice little plugin called “Feedburner Feed Replacement“, that fowards the default yourdomain.com/feed/ to your feedburner URL. So this way it’ll be easier to keep track of the number of people that reads my blog through RSS. And it’ll be easier for me to make changes to my site that you, the end users, will benefit! :)

PageRank Update

Seems SmartWealthyRich will have a PageRank 4!
I found this post today that Nate Whitehill wrote, regarding Googles’ PageRank update. There’s this nice tool you can use to see what your Page Rank will be when Big Brother will be done updating all its datacenters :)

So what will your new Page Rank be? :)

More Features = More Benefits - Your Input Would Be Greatly Appreciated!

Hello hello! I’ve been thinking about adding a couple of new features, sections and services, on SmartWealthyRich, and would like to have some feedback and thoughts from you, my loyal readers (and casual visitors), please take some time to share your thoughs, i would appreciate it greatly!

Directory

Actually i’m thinking about adding 3 sections/services on here, first one being a directory, because my sidebar is getting a little messy, and i think it would be more beneficial for the people i link to, to have their blogs listed in a “directory” section, and in the posts i write (if you have a blog post that’s relevant to what i’m writing about, i will be happy to link to it, provided i know about it), so that means i would link to more blogs in my posts (nothing spammy, don’t worry) and i would be able to feature more sites in the directory section.
