In this video Matthew Neer is going to show you how you can post new content to your wordpress blog as well as how to add new media to your library such as images, video, or whatever you’d like to upload. You will also learn what the most valuable plug-in for wordpress is because it allows you to install every single other plug-in you can find on Wordpress.org right from you dashboard. Very powerful indeed.

Gravatar

Seriously, why don’t you have one?

Stop leaving your thought-provoking comments on blogs all over the Internet without your beloved profile picture! It’s heinous (no, really, it is). Part of Social Media is branding yourself. Put a picture with the reputation so it’s easier for people to remember you. Enter Gravatar.com! (Don’t get me wrong, a brand is far more than a profile picture. You’ve got to have the content to back up the brand.)

The image is attached to our email address. And it’s not just one email address or image. Add as many images and email addresses as you want to your account. What I love about this, is that there are so many options! Assign one image to one email address and another image to a different email address, or just assign one image to all of your email addresses.

Now, whenever you leave a comment on a blog or sign up for certain services, using any of the email addresses you entered in to Gravatar.com and the assigned image will automatically appear as that cute little profile picture icon thingy that appears next to your name so everyone can bask in the glory of your beautiful gravatar as they read all your comments.
