(late) May recap and and an exclusive interview dropping 2 big bombs

Post image for (late) May recap and and an exclusive interview dropping 2 big bombs

downloadFirst off, I did an interview with Zac Johnson in late May where I discussed things that I have never talked about. I also dropped some pretty big bombs:

  1. The new direction with PAR Program, which is a big shift and pivot from what we are doing now.
  2. The finale on how I raised $500+k for the PAR Program. I wrote the first 2 in the series (Part 1, Part 2) but have not had time to finish it up.  It’s a crazy ending to my fundraising experience that I think a lot of people will be stunned on how it turned out.

You can listen to the podcast on Zac’s blog here:

May was interesting…I turned 40. It really lit a fire in me and I dunno, made me have a moment of clarity/come to Jesus moment. I came across an article (I don’t recall where) that said 85% of a person’s net worth is made between the ages 40-55. I guess this makes sense ’cause most people are paying off all their debt in this time frame from houses, school loans, and whatever else. Plus, they are reaching the height of their careers and moving up the ladder during this period.  I have 10 years. I want to bust it out then “retire” which I’m not quite sure what that means ’cause I love to build stuff, so we will see.

In early June, I took a 10-day RV trip with my wife and completely unplugged.  I have never done that before and was dreading it a bit.  I am always the “reluctant” adventurer. But I’m so glad I did it.

Here is the full May ShoeMoney Blog recap.  Have a great June!!!!

What’s the Difference Between Posts and Pages in WordPress?

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 01:04 AM PDT

If you're just starting out with blogging, you might be confused about the difference between "posts" and "pages".

Generally, a "webpage" or simply a "page" is any piece of content on the web at a specific URL. So this post (www.dailyblogtips.com/posts-vs-pages) definitely counts as a webpage.

Our home page, www.dailyblogtips.com, is also a webpage, with a list of excerpts from our latest posts included.

When you hear advice about writing great content for the web, you can think of your blog posts as just a type of webpage.

WordPress gets more specific though, dividing your content into what they call "posts" (blog posts) and "pages".

Here's what that means.

Posts are Dated, Chronological Content

Your blog posts will generally appear in reverse chronological order. They have a date attached (even though some blogs remove this, it's still visible to search engines and in RSS readers). They usually, though not always, allow comments.

Posts must have a category in WordPress, and may have one or more tags. By default, your posts appear on your home page, when someone goes to your domain – e.g. www.dailyblogtips.com. You can change this if you want to and have a static front page.

When you publish a new post, it goes out to your RSS and email subscribers straight away.

Pages are Undated, Semi-Static Content

You'll often hear pages described as "static" content, though I think that can be a bit confusing, because many bloggers will update and change their pages over time. In general, though, pages are more timeless than blog posts and might be referred to frequently by new visitors.

Typical pages are your About page and Contact page. It's a good idea not to publish these as posts, or they'll quickly disappear from your home page into your archives.

Pages also function a bit differently from posts. They don't have categories or tags, and many bloggers switch off comments on pages to keep things simple and uncluttered. You can also nest pages hierarchically.

Pages don't go out in your RSS feed, so if you want to alert RSS/email readers to a new page, you will need to mention it in a post. Of course you can also add the page to the navigation menu on your site.

If you'd like to get to grips with WordPress and learn all about writing great posts and pages, check out our course Get Blogging. Registration closes tomorrow (Friday 13th).
