Want to transform your kid's workout into an act of altruism? Charity Miles is a free running and distance tracker that donates money on your behalf to different charitable organizations across the globe. The premise is simple: Choose the charity you'd like to donate to — more than 40 charities includes everything from Feeding America and Save the Children to Autism Speaks — then select whether you're walking, running, or biking. Charity Miles then tracks the movement of your phone and calculates the distance of your movements. Each mile is 10 cents for biking, and 25 cents if you are running/walking. You can also leave Charity Miles on while you're going about your day to accrue yet more money while doing just about anything that requires movement.
So where exactly are these donations coming from? Charity Miles has amassed $500,000 in donations from multiple organizations, so each time you run, you are extracting from that pool of money and giving it to your charity of choice.
While it does require that you share location data in order to accurately calculate distance, the app claims that it does not share your data. Even so, parents should still take notice and be aware. Overall this is a great fitness app with a fantastic component: To exercise in order to improve your own condition, as well as the condition of others — one step at a time.
Charity Miles is just one of many powerful "pro-social" apps that connect kids to innovative ways of helping others, working towards a good cause and seeing things from other people's perspectives. Research has shown that exposure to pro-social content can improve kids' moods, sleep and helpful behavior. Discover some of our other favorite pro-social apps and websites here.

Paris, August 10, 2010
President Sarkozy expresses his great shock and sadness in the face of the natural disasters currently affecting China, India and Pakistan. He pays tribute to the efforts of the civilian and military rescue workers from these countries who are helping, in particularly tough conditions, the victims of the floods and landslides.
These disasters are affecting millions of people.
The number of victims and people missing is already into the thousands. President Sarkozy wants to express France's solidarity with the victims and their families.
In particular, the Indian authorities have announced the deaths of three French in India, in the mountainous region of Ladakh. The President extends his wholehearted support to their families in these painful, tragic circumstances and thanks the Indian authorities for their help.
France is ready to look, with her partners, at all the requests for humanitarian and logistical aid to assist the populations affected.
As regards Pakistan, who has requested international aid, France has already provided a €1 million bilateral aid package. She is asking the European Commission, given the gravity of the situation, to make extra EU funds available in order to give concrete expression to Europe's commitment to the Pakistani people./.

Clarets stopper Tom Heaton is delighted to be back in the fold after he played the entirety of Burnley's 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo.
Heaton had missed the game in the Austria tour as well as the three local pre-season fixtures with a minor calf strain.
But having played a full 90 minutes against the La Liga side, Heaton believes is was an ideal workout in the penultimate preparation for the Chelsea opener.
He said: "It was nice to be back out there. It was a touch frustrating for a couple of weeks but obviously these things crop up.
"The injury was just a slight calf strain but you have to be careful with these things. It wasn't anything serious but you don't want to rush back too soon.
"But it was great to be back in the fold today and to be involved in what was a very good game.
"I'm 100% now and I've been back in training for about a week so I'm really pleased."
The Clarets dominated the first-half against their Spanish counterparts and lead 1-0 through Lukas Jutkiewicz going into the interval, but Sean Dyche's opposite number made wholesale changes at the break.
And the introduction of a more experienced side, including Chilean World Cup star Fabian Orellana and Danish international Michael Krohn-Delhi saw the visitors up the tempo – something which Heaton feels was just what they needed.
Heaton added: "I think they came with a game plan.
"They were very physical and got amongst us which is great for us as that is what we want.
"Everyone was pleased that is was a well-competed game was really as you want that real test and we certainly got that.
"We had good chances first-half and then they came back at us in the second-half but it was a good workout.
"It did look a more experienced side in the second-half for them and they came at us a bit more and kept the ball.
"It was very good as you saw things you're probably going to see this season from us, defending and attacking, transition when they turn over the ball and when we turn it over.
"The pace and the tempo was real and it wasn't that sort of slow paced pre-season friendly which you don't want to be involved in."

If you decided to buy the Collector's Edition of Splinter Cell: Conviction then you probably expected to pay $79.99 on release. That price has now been dropped to $69.99 due to a fault with the included USB drive.
One of the additional items exclusive to the Collector's Edition of the game is a USB stick containing artwork and behind-the-scenes video footage. Ubisoft has discovered some (many?) of the sticks shipping with the game won't read, therefore rendering the content inaccessible.
The solution is to knock $10 off the retail price. The content on the drive won't be lost, however, as Ubisoft is coming up with an alternative way to gain access to it if you bought this edition.
Nothing except the additional content is affected by this, so just look at it as the game being $10 cheaper with a content download available in the future.

The Voice for Real Estate 79: Tax Reform, Net Neutrality, Loan Limits
The House-Senate conference committee made changes to tax reform that are better for homeowners although NAR remains concerned the bill on balance is not good for them because many middle-income homeowners will no longer itemize. Nevertheless, the conference bill is an improvement on MID, state and local tax deductions, and the capital gains exclusion on home sale proceeds, among other things.
- Tax reform
- Net neutrality
- Home sales
- FHA loan limits
Tax reform comes down to the wire
An FCC vote could change how open the internet will be
And sales pick up as the year winds down
These stories and more on The Voice for Real Estate
Hi, I'm Stephen Gasque with the National Association of Realtors
House and Senate lawmakers are close to voting on a tax reform bill and Realtors have helped make it less harmful to homeowners.
In one of the key improvements Realtors argued for, the bill keeps current law in place on the capital gains exclusion for home sales. The House and Senate bills had made that exclusion harder to take by requiring households to live in their house longer, but those harder rules were taken out.
In another improvement, the mortgage interest deduction is kept in place for second homes, as Realtors sought. The bill also includes a compromise on MID, by limiting the mortgage amount to $750,000. That's up from just $500,000 in the House bill, although it's still lower than the current $1 million limit.
And on state and local tax deductions, the bill makes a modest improvement by retaining deductions for both property taxes and income taxes, although the combined limit of the two remains just $10,000.
NAR hosted a live webcast on the bill and what Realtors were aiming for in the closing days of debate.
Lawmakers are hoping to have their bill on President Trump's desk this year.
A major change in how the internet works is closer to reality. And the change could be bad news for real estate companies.
The Federal Communications Commission last week voted to end net neutrality, the set of rules in place since 2015 to maintain the internet as a free and neutral platform on which all websites are treated the same.
Without those rules, proponents of net neutrality say, internet service providers like Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T would be able to charge websites a fee to ensure fast delivery of their data. Some websites might be blocked altogether.
It's not clear when, or even if, the ISPs will start charging fees now that the FCC change opens that door to them, but if they do, some real estate sites could be put at a competitive disadvantage. David Charron, CEO of MRIS, one of the largest multiple listing services in the country, shared his concerns in a live webcast NAR hosted on the topic last week.
NAR technology policy representative Melanie Wyne, who also participated in the webcast, said industry groups, including NAR, expect to file a lawsuit blocking the change. We'll keep you updated as this matter moves forward,
In a positive sign, both existing-home sales and contract signings are up in NAR's latest reports. In October, closings were up 2 percent and contract signings were up 3.5 percent. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun says areas hit by hurricanes two months ago are recovering quickly. That's helping to put sales on track to end the year higher than they were last year.
One wild card for home sales in 2018 is the impact of tax reform should it pass. We'll be watching that carefully.
Your customers will be able to get larger federally backed loans under FHA in 2018. The agency is increasing its loan limits in the vast majority of counties—more than 3,000—and keeping them the same in just a couple of hundred counties. In expensive markets, the highest possible loan amount will rise from $636,150 to $679,650. That's about a 7 percent increase. You can search "2018 FHA loan limits" on nar.realtor to access a chart that has the new loan limit for your area.
In another FHA update, the agency will no longer insure mortgage loans for homes that have a PACE loan on them. PACE stands for Property Assessed Clean Energy and it's a type of loan that some homeowners take out to pay for installation of solar panels. Realtors have raised concerns about these loans because they often take a first-lien position, creating problems for backers of the primary mortgage when there's a default. Not all homes that have solar panels used PACE loans, though. So, if you're working with buyers or sellers of a solar powered home, you'll want to see if those panels were financed with a PACE loan. If they were, your buyers will have to find financing other than FHA to buy the home.
And that's out show for the week of December 18. You can get more on everything we talked about at The Voice for Real Estate page on nar.realtor. Thank you for joining us, and we hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday. Join us again next year, in early 2018, when we bring you the latest news on The Voice for Real Estate.

I just thought I'd mention this. Some time last year I was looking up hand cream and in reading reviews came across this. It isn't hand cream, but there were lots of rave reviews about how good it is for minor scratches, abrasions, burns from the stove etc.
I decided to get some, and it's actually really good! Well worth a place in the bathroom cupboard. Just thought I'd mention it 🙂

Shower Door – Made-To-Measure?11 September, 2011
Does anybody know of a reliable manufacturer of made-to-measure shower doors? I'm hoping to replace mine, but it's considerably shorter than average (1770 rather than the more standard 1800, 1850 or 1900). It's possible that I could manage with a slightly taller one, but only at the cost of virtually eliminating the space at the top for the steam to escape.
If anybody has any experience of this then any pointers would be very welcome.
Moved successfully, but tons of unpacking still to do23 June, 2011
Piglet, Puss-Puss and I have successfully re-located from the thriving metropolis that is Southport to somewhere much lovelier a little further North 🙂
Eternal thanks to Caroline, Alan and Graham for the help last Friday and over the weekend. I decided in the end not to use a removals company, as they were going to charge £550 plus waiting time (plus VAT), and that seemed ridiculously over-priced bearing in mind that I wasn't actually taking a great deal of stuff. Instead I hired a Luton van/truck, and Alan and Graham did all the heavy lifting. (My tennis elbow came in useful for that… heheh…)
Although I've been here almost a week it's still chaos in the house. It needs a thorough cleaning, and so I've not been able to put everything away yet and I'm still surrounded by boxes. I'll get there gradually, though.
Piglet is delighted with the walking. We've only had a chance to explore the local walks so far, but we've already been terrified in a cow field this afternoon. Eep! We were almost through what I thought was the last safe field before the cow fields began when all of a sudden an enormous ginger-headed beast appeared on the top of a small ridge about 20 feet to my right. I was horrified beyond words, and dragged poor Piglet to the end of the field and lifted her over a barbed-wire fence to what I hoped would be safety. I then had to follow, which was an anxious experience in view of what happened to Alan when he last tried to scale such a fence. It had to be done, though. Sadly, it had to be done again almost immediately but in reverse, when I realised that what I'd hoped would be a safe place was simply a continuation of the field I'd been trying to avoid. I had to pop Piglet back into the lion's den and jump back over myself, and then drag her at a great pace, protesting, through great piles of cow poo and down the hill to the field full of aggressive little rams we'd negotiated about 10 minutes earlier. We survived, though. Phew!
Piglet is now recovering herself on my bed–I think I may be changing the bedding a little sooner than I'd originally planned–and I'm girding my loins for a fresh assault on the boxes and boxes of stuff that are cluttering up the sitting room. It would be nice to sit down in there at some stage, but at the moment there's no free space on either of the couches.
When I get a bit straighter I'll take the camera out with me and post a lot of pictures. In the meantime, though, I'm not sure how to get the ones I took this afternoon from my iPhone to my MacBook, and so this post will have to remain pictureless.
Back to unpacking…
Gmail — Google now demanding mobile phone number?4 June, 2011
I've just tried to set up a new gmail address so that I can post to Usenet via Google Groups without receiving a ton of spam, but I got a message saying that Google had detected unauthorised activity on my account and asking me to give them my mobile phone number so that they could send me a verification code. I don't like giving out my mobile number so I started again, this time choosing a different username. Even though all I'd done was complete the form, though, I got the same message.
It seems that Google is now requiring people to provide a mobile phone number in order to provide them with a Gmail account. I'll have to look for something else. Does anybody know of any other easy free email accounts? I just want something that I'll only ever use on Usenet via the web.

Money Worries Interview with ABC News Radio
By Media Relations
CreditCards.com Senior Industry Analyst Matt Schulz spoke on Monday, June 29, 2015, with Daria Albinger of ABC News Radio about the results of the June 2015 Money Worries survey. The interview and transcript are below.
Daria Albinger: If money worries have kept you up at night, you certainly aren't alone. A new survey by CreditCards.com finds 62% of us lost sleep over finances. Senior Analyst Matt Schulz says the "sandwich generation," those with aging parents and young kids, may be affected the most.
Matt Schulz: They might be worrying on the horizon of how they're going to take care of themselves in retirement, but worrying today about how they might help their son or daughter pay for their college costs.
Albinger: On the upside, fewer of us lost ZZZ's to money than during the recession.

Vegetable 'Trick Or Treat' Prank Backfires With A 'Cease & Desist' Letter
A Halloween prank that encouraged people to give trick-or-treating kiddies salad and vegetables instead of lollies has caught the ire of one of the biggest US food brands.
Young ad creative, Adam Padilla from US creative agency Brandfire, tweeted out 'Mini Salads' as a modern-day Halloween treat. And, yes, the whole thing was meant as a gag.
The problem for Padilla was he used the logo of US food behemoth, Dole. Thankfully, the company found the funny side before issuing him with a stern "don't do it again" letter. The company even getting in on the hijinks and unveiled its very own broccoli and pineapple flavoured Halloween treats alongside the warning.
Dole's letter (which you can read in full below) was from its vice president, Richard Jacobs, and read: "From the looks of everything, you're using Dole's trademark to tie your marketing and (admittedly-good) image editing skills to us, thus having the public mistakenly believe your images are affiliated with our company. Normally, we would insist that you take your images down or else I and our more formal and scary hired-gun lawyers would come and take all your candy away."

Prostate problems affect over 90 million American men every year, and it can be one of the biggest pain in the asses of getting older.
An enlarged prostate is not only unhealthy, but also results in a number of negative symptoms, including frequent urination (especially at night), a sensation of "not getting all of the urine" out, and sometimes having a hard time "getting the flow going".

What is Prostacet and How Does It Work?
Saw Palmetto extract is actually the most popular herbal treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH. While there haven't been many clinical studies indicating Saw Palmettos true effectiveness, anecdotally there have been hundreds of positive consumer reviews on the internet and other publications, including WebMD.
Prostacet also combines saw palmetto extract with lycopene, which is an antioxidant commonly found in red fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes and red peppers. Lycopene has a number of POTENTIAL health benefits, including the possibility that it may help to prevent prostate cancer. While there has been no conclusive evidence, researchers in Finland also found that increased consumption of Lycopene may reduce the risk of stroke as well.
Prostacet Full Ingredient Profile
Prostacet contains the following ingredients: saw palmetto extract, lycopene, zinc chelate , vitamin E, selenium, beta carotine, corn silk powdered extract, cranberry extract, parsley powdered extract, cayenne pepper, and curcumin standardized extract.

Prostacet Reviews and Testimonials
While there are very few published reviews online (probably because of the embarrassment and sensitivity about the topic), many users experienced very good results from taking Prostacet. The majority of reviews we came across said that Prostacet acted quite quickly, and there symptoms had been dramatically reduced. While it is unclear as to the validity of these reviews, they were posted on well established and reputable websites.
How Does Prostacet Compare To Other Prostate Supplements?
We have only tested a handful of prostate supplements, and many of them make the very same claims that Prostacet does. When compared to products such as Super Beta prostate, Prostacet is a bit on the high end, but tends to rate more favorable amongst consumers. As far as we can tell, Prostacet is the only supplement that contains lycopene, giving it a huge bonus over the others.
Where To Buy Prostacet?
There are several companies that sell prostacet online, however, you will not be able to take advantage of any special offers or money back guarantees if you don't order it from the official website. Off of the official site, a one month supply is $49.95 with about $8 for standard shipping. The best option is a six months supply, which is buy 3 bottles get 3 free, making the price drop to $25 per bottle. Considering you will need to take Prostacet for as long as 2 months to get the best results, this may be your most prudent option.
The Bottom Line
We feel that based on our analysis of the ingredients profile, consumer reviews and testimonials, and a comparison between this and other products, Prostacet is one of the finest products available on the market. When compared to prescription options and their debilitating side effects, prostacet is a much better alternative.

Bed bugs impact residents of San Luis Obispo and communities in and around the Central Coast of California. While bed bugs do not actually spread disease, their parasitic habits are uncomfortable yet avoidable. Bed bugs suck the blood from humans and animals, usually while they are asleep, which is the source of these pests name.
Interestingly, these creatures do not live in beds or bedding, but will move over large areas in search of a source of blood. They are experts at hiding, and because of their flat shape, can crawl into small cracks and crevices. This makes them difficult to find. We are experienced in locating bed bugs living areas by tending to the areas to which they are attracted allowing us to eliminate them effectively.
To eliminate bed bugs, help from a professional is usually necessary.
Bed buds can range in color from reddish to brown. They can survive for long periods of time without food and are attracted to both body heat and carbon dioxide given off by animals and humans.
Bed bugs do not always leave bite marks on the skin, but the affected areas usually become swollen and red. The bites itch and the itchiness usually last longer than other kinds of insect bites. Bites are likely to show up in clusters as well. You may notice reddish brown spots on your bed linens as evidence that they have been there.
At the first sign of an infestation, please contact Brezden Pest Control for help with eliminating bed bugs!

Bolivia is a country of great contrast from the lowland Amazon rainforest to the lofty height of the Andean peaks. It is a poor country with little resilience to climate change which is impacting the nation in many ways. The glaciers of the high Andes are receding, one, Chacaltaya has disappeared completely. This is leading to water shortages in the capital La Paz, as it relies heavily on glacial meltwater for its water security. High levels of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest in Bolivia are drivers of climate change and wiping out some of the most bio-diverse regions of the planet.

Writing a book isn't easy. It takes skill, time, commitment, and passion. Even after completing your masterpiece, you will still need to find an audience for your article, short story or novel. A website will be of great help when looking for the audience. An author website is a crucial tool for long-term platform and book promotion. A website is used to share all the information surrounding the literary life. You can share photos, news, links and writing samples to book retailers and social networks in one place. It should be a resource that is available 24/7 to your readers.
If you only use social networking to serve the purpose of an author website, that is a bad idea. You will be at the whims and mercy of a third party. You won't have control of what Facebook or other social media site does – with the design, functionality, and followers/likes. When it falls out favor, you will need to start all over again.
A good author website keeps you in touch with readers as it stronger with time. It is also a long-term investment in the author career. Here is how to set up an author website.
- Choose a platform
A host ensures that your site is always up and running. You have three broad categories to choose from: free hosting, managed/premium hosting, and fee-based hosting.
Free hosting – if you have ever used WordPress or Blogger, then you have an idea of a free website hosting service. These services are easy to use and hassle-free. But they have some limitations like:
- You won't fully customize your website
- You will have limited functionality when it comes to monetization or e-commerce
- You may not get in-depth analytics about how people find the site or visitors
Free hosting is the best option for unpublished authors as you will be developing your brand and maybe you don't require the freedom that self-hosted site offer. However, if you want to be in a position to change from free hosting to self-hosting, you can start with WordPress since it allows a seamless transfer.
Fee-based hosting – self-hosting offer you complete control and access to your site platform, environment, and files. Self-hosting is perfect for established authors or anyone who wish to monetize their website. The benefits of self-hosting are:
- You have the ability to customize your site such as deciding colors, fonts, headers, page templates, footers etc. It's important for long-term branding.
- You get insights into site traffic and the working marketing efforts.
- You have the freedom to add functionality to earn some money for the website such as e-commerce, advertising, paywall areas or membership.
- Effective integration of newsletter sign-up tools.
The most common hosting providers are HostGator, Bluehost and DreamHost. They all offer 24/7 support and one-click installation of WordPress. It cost as low as $4-7 per month.
You can also consider Smooth Publishing Hosting Service. We host only Author websites and our server is optimized for author websites and blogs.
Self-hosting makes you responsible for the site security. You will have to backup your site if your host doesn't do that for you. If the site goes down, you will be the one to solve the problem. If you find that worrying, then you should consider premium hosting or managed hosting service.
Managed hosting – you pay higher which can be up to $30 per month for services like regular backups, superior support, and site security. If you are an author with little experience and little technical background, managed hosting might be perfect for you. The most popular managed hosting solution for WordPress is WP Engine.
If you find managed hosting too expensive and self-hosting to be scary, then you can try:
- Squarespace – it offers managed hosting environment and e-commerce functionality. It might not be WordPress based, but it allows one to export some content when you leave. It costs $8 per month.
- Upgrading WordPress.com – it costs $99 per year and you get additional customization, functionality, and storage.
- Wix – using Wix is easy to use. It saves on development cost. It has elegant templates. You can have a free version to test.
- Hiring a professional to assist you properly in setting up the site.
When and why should you hire help?
You can need a web programmer or a web designer when getting started. You can also find these skills in one person. Website designers will help in customizing the feel and the look of the site including page templates, headers, fonts, colors, etc. if you need the site to show your author brand, you will need a designer.
Programmers focus on extending and improving site functionality, security and speed. Both programmers and designers can help in getting your website off the ground and ensure that everything is in place. They will also offer guidance when you need to manage it on your own.
Hiring a professional can help in speeding up the process, give you peace of mind and reduce frustration.
- Register your domain name
You will need a domain name, which is a URL where your website lives. When a visitor types it into a browser, it will take them to your website. Some platforms allow one to register their domain name through them. But, if you want, you can register through a third party.
A domain name is one of the branding decisions that you make while building a website. As the internet expands, there is an increasing number of domains being registered and it can be challenging to get the best ones. How do you find a domain that is right and available for you? Here are the tips that can help you:
- Search before registering – your first domain name choice may have been taken. Therefore, it's good to search first before getting into the site building process. Google Domain Search tool can help you to look through different options. When you have found the perfect domain, you don't have to register it on the tool. Register it with your platform. You can transfer domain names.
- Use first and last name – you can use your first and last names if they are available. You can use your pen name as a domain name if you write under a pen name. If your name isn't available, you can use .net, .me, or .us domain. Avoid using .org unless it's service or religious books. Also, avoid using a middle initial in a domain name.
- Avoid using the book title as the main domain name – what will you do when you write another book? You can have a basic website or landing page for every book but not for the main author website.
- Avoid adding dashes in your domain – a dash can be added to your names if you want to get your name if it's taken. But it makes it harder for readers to find you.
- Find some author websites to help you model yours
Before getting deep into the website design, find other author websites that you like. When looking at these sites, look at the main elements of the site. Here are the crucial elements:
- Header – the logo, image or name at the top of the site. Don't feel overwhelmed if you can't make images look great as on the site. You can use free tools such as Canva.
- Featured Banner – authors have an image of the latest book featured as the first thing a person sees when they visit their site.
- Newsletter/email sign up form – it's crucial since email list is the best way to develop a lasting relationship with the readers. Building an email list is the first marketing step.
- Menu – the menu gives you the idea of the main pages. You can always find a books page, a blog, about page and contact page.
- Endorsement and reviews – it shows any featured reviews or endorsements from established authors.
- Social media channels – do they add a link to their social media profiles such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest?
- Install WordPress
I will assume that you are setting up your site with Bluehost. After setting up your Bluehost account and registered your domain, you need to install WordPress on the domain. Here are the steps to follow:
- On the Bluehost dashboard, click install WordPress.
- Confirm that you want to install by clicking continue WordPress installation
- On the next page, pick the domain that you registered earlier on in the drop-down and let the directory form remain blank.
- Enter the login credentials. You will be asked to create username and password for your site. These should be kept in a safe place, but you will get an email with them.
- It will take few minutes to install. When it finishes installing, visit the domain's WordPress admin screen. You can bookmark the page for easy access.
- Familiarize yourself with WordPress
When you familiarize yourself with WordPress, it can be easy to use, but it is sometimes intimidating to new users. You can take note of some few things:
The dashboard is the home base, where you can access all the pages and settings.
Admin header bar
This bar is found at the top of the screen. It has several helpful buttons. You can create new page or post. You can also edit by clicking the edit button and make the changes. It has a home button where it will take you to the site's home screen.
Dashboard menu
You can create pages and access settings on the site. You can change the theme and customize some appearance. You can control and create the menu on the front of the site.
You can learn every part of the WordPress so that it can be easy to use. It has many parts.
- Choose Your Theme
Your site can drastically look different when themes are applied. Therefore, finding the right theme is important. With so many great free and paid themes, it can be hard to find the perfect one for your site. Here are few ones that can help you get started with your author website.
PageLine – this is a free theme that gives you a lot of control and you don't have to be a programmer to handle it.
Divi – it is amazing. You can edit colors, font sizes, spacing and more.
Tribe – these themes offer what you need for your author website. It's perfect when you want something simple and functional.
Custom themes – you can also hire a web designer to build a custom theme. It's a good option when you don't have an eye for design or when you don't have time to do it.
- Create your header
Headers can be an image, logo or a full-width image. You can easily create this with Canva. If you can't, you can hire a designer. However, using Canva is simple. Here is how you can do that:
- Before starting, you need to know the dimensions of the header. It is determined by the theme. Check the theme's settings.
- Go to Canva.com and create a free account. You can also log in using Facebook. Select "Use custom dimensions".
- Enter the dimensions such as 308 by 40.
- Create your logo. You can just keep it simple with your name and a white background.
- Download the image and upload it to the theme.
- Add content
This is where you add content to your new WordPress site. Some author websites fail to add fundamental pieces. Some sites don't even have buttons to buy the book. Some others don't have a way to contact the author while others don't have book description. These guidelines will ensure that you have everything needed in an author website.
Here are the things that an author website should have:
A homepage should not have everything in but should have important things only. You can give highlights of your important things and let people click to learn more. It should have;
Latest book – your latest book should be placed at the front and center on your site. Show its cover, add a brief description with blurbs and the links to buy should be made prominent. It makes it easy for readers to purchase your book and it's good for branding. If people have read your most recent book and visit your website, they will immediately know that they are in the right place.
Email subscription box – as a call-to-action, invite people to join your newsletter lists.
Headshot and bio – add your headshot and a bio that ends with "learn more" and add links to about page. The bio should be short. As a tip, use the same headshot everywhere – LinkedIn, Facebook, website, Amazon Author Page etc.
Excerpts of other content – add links to your resources page or latest three blog posts or short stories. Make it easy for readers to find extra content online.
Connect – you should add where your readers can connect online such contact page, social media links etc.
The page let the readers know about you and what you do. It allows bloggers and media to get the images and information they need.
You should make it clear how readers can connect and contact you.
Email address – most people fear to add their email mainly because of spamming. If you are using reputable services like Gmail, you don't have to worry about spam.
Mailing address – if you don't feel comfortable sharing your home address, use the office address. It's crucial to make it possible for readers to mail things to you.
Social media links – share your Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ etc. People should connect with you on all platforms if you want to get more readers.
Not all authors will need this page. But if you regularly speak or arrange book tour, you should have the page on your site.
Resources help in sharing your collection of content. The content that doesn't get old. You can use this page to share writing tips, white papers, stories, interviews, videos etc.
- Set-up your email list
One of the reasons why you are doing all this is the email list. A newsletter signup form is the most crucial element on the site. You can use MailChimp since it's free for the first 2,000 subscribers. The company offers friendly service. You can also use Convertkit. It can be great for authors, but it's a paid service and it can be expensive. However, the email list is a good place you can invest. It should among the first upgrades.
- Search engine optimization
You have created your first website. These instructions can take few hours if you follow them keenly. When all these are done, you can now add a perfect blog post.
When you have all the content on the site, you should ensure that the author website gets attention from Google and other search engines. The process of making your site appealing to Google and other search engines is known as Search Engine Optimization. Making content appear in search results can take time, but the following advice will help you.
You should add a description for the page and mention the genre and type of book. These terms can be the terms that readers use to find your books on search engines.
You should know that Google is smart when it comes to search engine optimization. You can't trick it and it would be time wasting if you try. You can just ensure that you have a lot of text on the site and mention genre, name, book titles and other attributes that visitors might look for.
You should also use proper headings throughout the site. You should put a large heading element at the top of the page. Use medium and small headings to introduce sections of the page.
- Maximizing your site
Keep your site updated at all times. This way you will get more traffic to your posts than to the homepage. It should be easy to do if doing a speaking engagement or when writing new material, but adding news will keep Google and audience coming back to the site.
You can also gain traction for the author site by ensuring that you link your site from your social media profiles. You should have a YouTube channel and Google Plus listing as these usually show up high in search engine themselves.
Ensure that the website header, sidebar, and footer appear on the site offer the most important calls-to-action since there are many visitors who don't go to the homepage.
If you don't add posts, it's a bad idea to have posts center and front of the home page. This is the default setting of many WordPress sites and themes. Remember to change this.
If the readers reach the bottom of the post, it means that they are engaged. It offers an opportunity to add call-to-action such as a book for sale or newsletter sign-up.
If you want to maximize your site's effectiveness, install an analytical tool. You can use Google Analytics, which is popular and free. It is available to anyone with a Google account. As soon as you install it, you will collect data on the site traffic and visitors, the most popular content and how people use and navigate the site.
With websites, there is the power of incremental progress. A person doesn't have to perfect everything and launch at once. Start small and smart and you can build your skills and presence with time. You can add complex functionality and customize as you get comfortable.
Having a site for a writing career is vital in building a platform and selling books. It's the first place people look when they need to find information about you and what you do.
However, when you have a bad or incomplete website, it can hurt you instead of helping you.

Kelly Academic Companies needs all substitutes at the school the place they're subbing quarter-hour early. I left in plenty of time, and can be there method earlier than my eleven:00 a.m. start time. Sadly, and perhaps it was as a result of I had slept so poorly the night before, I took the wrong road to the school. I was sure it was on one specific route, and it turned out when I arrived at the place I thought it was, I used to be at the center faculty, not the elementary faculty and it was on the improper aspect of town!
The Physical Schooling uniform consists of a t-shirt and shorts and will be bought throughout PE class. Physical Training sweat clothes are elective but are the only accredited outer clothes (no jackets, no hats, no gloves and so forth) for outside in the course of the winter months. Sweat garments should worn over the t-shirt and shorts and solely on particular days as announced by every trainer. Each student must purchase the varsity's mixture padlock from their Bodily Training Trainer, and reveal they'll open the padlock without help, earlier than they will be assigned a locker.
School boards additionally promote the fact that, below a conventional schedule, a teacher is allowed two planning durations, but block scheduling only provides the trainer one. Through the course of the yr, a instructor with a conventional schedule is likely to educate 5 lessons and have two planning intervals. With a block schedule, each semester the instructor has three courses and one planning period. This means, all year long, a trainer has six classes and two planning durations. In different phrases, every trainer instructs a further class. When utilized to every instructor in a school, this means colleges can hire fewer academics.

The nine-year-old Huddersfield fan who sent Australian midfielder Aaron Mooy five pounds ($6.50) as a bonus for the club's stunning win over Manchester United last weekend has met the player as a reward, reports reuters.
Adam Bhana who found the money lying on the ground at the John Smith's Stadium also wrote a letter saying: "Mooy can keep the money because he played very well and scored".
Mooy, who scored the first goal in the 2-1 victory which was Huddersfield's first over United since 1952, said: "It was really great to finally meet him.
"Adam was a really nice lad and is a real credit to his family.
"It was great to receive such a fantastic letter, he clearly has fantastic values."
Adam's dad, Mo, told the BBC his son had initially wanted the money to boost Huddersfield manager David Wagner's transfer budget.
Mooy will not be keeping the fiver which will be donated to the club's Town Foundation that helps children in the surrounding area.
The Aussie star will hope for a similar United-style result at Liverpool later on Saturday.

The Benghazi Hearing
It is difficult to fully absorb over five hours of hearings, but I do come away with a number of perceptions and no small collection of representative facts.
Democrats focused on three main themes: attacking Chairman Issa for his comments, continually attempting to refocus the issue on the ARB (Accountability Review Board) and protecting Hillary Clinton.
Republicans, to their credit, avoided the temptation to make speeches and remained focused on asking questions.
Mr. Hicks the Deputy Chief of Mission under Ambassador Stephens made an opening statement that was low key but dramatic and moving nonetheless. He presented himself as a man of conscience; confident and capable. There is no question that Mr. Hicks, after internally expressing his dismay at the now infamous comments made by Susan Rice has suffered at the hands of the State Department bureaucracy. Demoted, castigated, subjected to what I would judge to be unfair evaluations and essentially sent to the State Department basement. Mr. Hicks has been done a severe injustice, the same Mr. Hicks who received calls from the President and Secretary of State immediately following the Benghazi incident, commending his performance. His demise began when he viewed Ms. Rice's Sunday show performance. He made the horrific mistake of asking Beth Jones, a superior why Ambassador Rice said what she said in direct contradiction to the statements made by the Libyan President. Mr. Hicks was left with the undeniable impression that questions from him were, to be kind, unwelcome.
There is no doubt that the Obama administration knew it was a terror attack as it happened. The embassy in Tripoli did not report the presence of demonstrations nor did Ambassador Stephens. When Mr. Hicks spoke with Ambassador Stephens that night, Ambassador Stephens described it as 'an attack'.
There is no doubt that the ARB, which terminated responsibility at a middle management level, was wrong. Further investigation will identify Ambassador Kennedy as much more accountable for decision making in advance of 9/11 than the ARB has reported.
There is also no doubt that resources were available and not deployed. The small remaining Special Forces personnel were ordered to stand down. The FEST (Foreign Emergency Support Team) was very quickly taken out of the decision making loop.
There were ongoing reports from Benghazi all of which essentially represented that the facility was 'under attack'. There is no question that the State Department was being sent continual updates.
Despite the resources available to us and to our NATO partners, the people on the ground in Libya were told that there were no refueling tankers available. Nothing on carriers in the Gulf, nothing in the Med, nothing in Europe; it strains credibility.
It was known that Ansar al Sharia was active in the Benghazi area; it was known that there were ties to al Qaeda. It was known that the Libyan group assigned to provide 'security' the February 17th Martyrs Brigade also had ties to extremist elements. Initial reports had the Ambassador taken to a hospital controlled by Ansar al Sharia, Mr. Hicks, rightly was concerned about a trap.
There were a series of security incidents in Libya in addition to threats made by way of social media outlets. Mr. Thompson confirmed that any competent Counter Terror professional would have seen the trend and moved to improve security.
Rep. Chaffetz visited Libya weeks after the attack. The State Department was clearly concerned about his visit. Mr. Hicks was directed not to meet with Rep. Chaffetz absent a State Department legal 'minder'. Mr. Hick's direct quote is "I received instructions not to talk to Rep. Chaffetz, I was told not to be alone with Rep. Chaffetz; I was not to be isolated with Chaffetz and not to be personally interviewed. The problem occurred, however, when the legal representative did not have sufficient security clearance to attend some of the meetings with Rep. Chaffetz. Reasonable people can disagree as to what State was afraid of; I believe they were afraid of the truth. Cheryl Miller, Secretary Clinton's 'enforcer' demanded a report on the Chaffetz visit; she was according to Mr. Hicks "very upset". It became evident that the 'legal minder' was unprecedented related to a visit by members of Congress.
The three witnesses all agreed that the ARB was flawed. Either by who they did not speak to, the process they used to interview the folks they did talk to and the unwillingness to take the accountability up the chain of the command at State. Mr. Hicks was asked directly; "did the ARB leave anyone off the hook", he answered yes, Ambassador Kennedy.
Democrats want more hearings with more witnesses, at least rhetorically. They may wish they did not take that position. There is clearly more here than today's hearing could possibly have gotten too. Mr. Hicks and his career should be one of those issues as Representatives on both sides of the aisle committed their support for Mr. Hicks.
If today's testimony is true and it did ring true and occurred absent any histrionics. The administrations narrative on Benghazi has been chock full of falsehood; the President, Ambassador Rice, Ambassador Kennedy and Secretary Clinton have lied based on today's testimony. It is also true that the good guys are the ones in jeopardy.
Bureaucracy prevailed over common sense and the advice of expertise. Political narratives have become more important than facts and truth. It is also clear that this administration simply does not accept or appreciate the threat represented by Islamic extremism.
Without a doubt, more to come! Hopefully the performance by the witnesses especially Mr. Hicks will provide others with the courage to speak their minds and reveal the truth.

Laura & Susie
Laura and her sister Susie released their debut album in 2013 of original songs that are influenced strongly by the Celtic and Americana folk music from their childhood. Laura writes complex, story-telling piano compositions that are eccentric and witty in their musical and lyrical themes, influenced by artists like Tori Amos, Regina Spektor and Joanna Newsom. The expansive soundscapes of her vivid compositional style complement the spellbinding simplicity of Susie's songs, which are delicately fingerpicked on guitar with her pure vocals blending in themes of love, life and nostalgia, inspired by great songstresses such as Joni Mitchell, Kate Rusby and Kate Bush. Accordion, piano, violin and guitar create the backdrop for beautiful harmonies that weave together flavours of jazz, roots, Appalachian folk and more eclectic styles.
Sydney sextet Chaika are sensuous, cinematic and irresistibly danceable. Their music is a rich tapestry of spine-tingling vocal harmonies that weave seamlessly into instrumental dialogues, drawing influence from the Balkans and jazz. They have toured extensively nationwide to great acclaim, performing at many high profile venues and festivals including opening for Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass festival in 2014 and closing for the Jungle Love Festival in 2016. Their music has been described as "deeply touching and meditative" as well as "exuberant, virtuosic and uplifting". Individually their members have written for and performed with artists such as Monsieur Camembert, Riley Lee, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Nicky Bomba, Baby et Lulu, The Marais Project and The Song Company.
Martenitsa Choir / Mara!
Laura has sung with the Martenitsa Choir for 12 years. During that time she has toured to Europe with them in 2005, appearing at WOMAD Reading in the UK and the Koprivshtitsa festival in Bulgaria. She composed a piece for the choir called Maika i Sin ("Mother and Son") and a piece for the choir and ARIA Award winning ensemble Mara! called Razdyala ("Parting"), both to text by Bulgarian poet Stefan Kozhuharov and recorded in 2016 ready for release in late 2017/early 2018. She has performed with the choir and band at Woodford Folk Festival in 2011/12 as a soloist, at WOMADeladaide in 2013, and toured with them to Italy and the UK in 2015.
Rhythm Hunters
From 2009-2012 Laura was a regular guest artist with Central Coast group the Rhythm Hunters. Her association with group director Rendra Freestone led to his later involvement in Chaika. She began her time with the group performing the intricate piece Ladoai from West Sumatra, a kneeling dance with interlocking frame drum patterns and movement, and then joined them on accordion and melodica. She appeared at many festivals and venues with them including Island Vibe and Woodford Folk Festival 2009/10. At the latter she performed Ladoai on the 20,000 capacity Amphitheatre stage for the New Year's Eve countdown concert (pictured).
Doc Jones & the Lechery Orchestra
Laura was part of the 5-piece Lechery Orchestra from 2009-2010, lending her accordion stylings and vocals to Doc Jones' highly unusual songs. Not least amongst her skills was the ability to sing, play accordion, and dance the Charleston – in high heels – all at once. The Lechers found their way to many places of ill repute, highlights including the Basement in Sydney with equally inexplicable Melbourne act Rapskallion. During her last few months with the band she put aside the accordion and took over on double bass.
Folk Music Around The World
Folk Music Around The World is the solo show that Laura takes to schools around Sydney and the surrounding regional areas. She traverses through many different countries bringing folk songs to life with enthusiasm, passion and skill. She gets students involved, teaching them songs, body percussion and movement, and weaves stories about the songs she has collected from afar. In tandem with a music education professional she has developed a specific primary school syllabus that is applicable across many curriculums.
