Build Online Shop with Wordpress (part. 1)

If you follow my previous post about Make Money Online with Online Shop , then i assumed you already have domain, web site hosting, and installed with Wordpress. If you haven't, please click here. Before we start, i just want to remind you that i use Wordpress 2.6 and it might be a little different if you use another version of Wordpress. And i'm gonna explain this tutorial from the setting up your Wordpress. Let's start with downloading these plugins:

all-in-one-seo-pack: for optimizing your search engine ranking.
google-sitemap-generator: for creating and submit your sitemaps to Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
wp-db-backup: for backup your Wordpress Database manually or automatically.

For the Online Shop, download wp-e-commerce.

And these are some additional tools that you can use to make your work easier:

FTP FileZilla: easily access your web site hosting folder.

Usually the plugins is zipped, so extract it with WinZip and save on your desktop first. After that, upload the plugins to .../public_html/wp-content/plugins/... on your web site hosting using FileZilla (read the readme.txt file if you don't know how to upload them).

Now login to your Wordpress and go to Plugins. You should see the plugins that you uploaded before. Activate the plugins.


Setup Your Wordpress

From dashboard go to Settings -> Permalinks, change to Month and Date (this permalink structure is good for search engine ranking's). If there is a problem doing this, create a new blank text file with notepad and rename it to .htaccess (htaccess is the extension), upload it to .../public_html/... using FileZilla, right click on the file -> click Properties and CHMOD it to 777 then try to change the permalink again. After you done it, CHMOD the .htaccess back to 444.


Go to Settings -> Writing, at the bottom of the page there's a box where you can fill it with update service web site. Copy the addresses below and paste it to the box.
