I’m Going to Nuke This Website

I’m serious, I’m going to nuke this very website!

Why?

Because I really hate the template design on the HTML web pages. I was going to either buy a new template or hire someone to design one for me but what I really want is to make it the same as the blog.

This task has been on my mind for months now but I have let it slip as it was not an urgent priority. As you know it’s a bright New Year so we should be in the mood to throw out the old in place of the new. However getting the HTML page to resemble my blog theme is no piece of cake.

I could install WordPress but that would be going into overkill. I already have two installations for the newsletter and Marketing Tips. Yes I know I could have set up another category for the newsletter but what’s done is done now.

Hmm!

OK, I think I’ll settle for a home page change and move ALL other web pages to the blog.

Voila!

That will be less hassle and quicker to complete.

Besides I have had enough of relying on others to do things for me and not delivering good results. My experiences from 2008 have somewhat jaded me.

If only blogs were popular way back when I launched this website. I would have set the WordPress blog software on the root of my domain => Miriadz.com and be done with ANY design problems. It will mean I must set up permanent redirects for search engine and visitors to find the new web page locations.

Advantages of Blog Designed Websites

Of course sales pages and affiliate sign up pages will remain on HTML web pages. I do want to make this website more manageable so I can get started on making free ecourses and new autoresponder messages. Don’t be surprised if some pages are permanently nuked in place of a fresher more up to date content and products.

I’ll report on all of these changes in my first newsletter for 2009!

Oh well, time to head off to draft up the new home page. Once that’s done other pages should be quick and simple copy and paste into “Pages” on my Practical Marketing Tips blog.

Wish me luck!

    Nancy, I know your feeling. When I started online I built a page/website for my main domain http://www.thehonestbusinessman.com and I had a good page rank and some decent amount of visitors.

    Then I discovered blogging!

    And I had the same dilemma as you. What do I do if I add a blog to my domain? It won’t be the same as my regular site. So I did an extreme makeover and basically scrapped everything. Only time will tell if this was good move.

    Whoah!

    When I read the title of your article I thought you were going to delete your entire website.

    So glad you’re not and will be around to give more good tips.
    :grin:

    Hi Nancy,

    I look forward to the changes. I’m in the process of setting up a cosmetics themed site using Wordpress because it’s so much easier to use then an ordinary web page.

    I have been following you on your blog and Facebook and wouldn’t be the same without you. :wink:

    Hi Bryan,

    As usual all went well. This domain is 99.97% blog so the templates are just how I want them.

    Always takes a New Year to get those tedious tasks done!

    Hi Knight R,

    I actually have deleted some web pages that I no longer need. Others have been migrated into the blogs.

    I have read many posts but I feel that many people show off their techniques and products but actually do not completely reveal their secrets.
