My Favorite WordPress Plugins

My Favorite WordPress Plugins

I spend so much time setting up new WordPress sites that I thought I might share some of my favorite plugins. For me, browsing for WordPress plugins is much better than going shopping. It doesn’t cost a dime and you can improve your site’s functionality if you choose the right ones. Here are some that [...]

Sometimes It’s Not about Money

Sometimes It’s Not about Money

I was browsing over at Ken’s blog, The Freelancer Today,  the other day. He wrote a poignant post about how writing online isn’t always about money. I agree wholeheartedly. His post was the inspiration for this one. When I started No Job for Mom I started it because I needed a place to put the [...]

In reviewing my stats the other day, the question of backlinking came to mind. You see, back in mid September, 2010 I registered 5 new domain names.  It took me from September, 2010 to December, 2010 to finally set up the WordPress template and add content to the blogs.  I didn’t add much content to [...]

Something’s Different Here

We’re in for a bumpy ride.  I changed the theme (yet again), and am still working on getting it to do what I want it to do. This is just a short post to let you know that you did reach No Job for Mom.  She’s just wearing a new dress.
