now, I am not all about pushing sale on people that don't want them, but I also don't want to specifically target people who don't spend. you want buyers on your list not tire kickers who just take all the free stuff.

IMHO
Every one starts out looking for free info, I wouldn't optimize for the word free______ (what ever) but I think the more visits the better.

Hey, I think your site's pretty well made although I'm not a fan of blog style posting, where all your articles can be viewed on the front page. I do however have a suggestion. I would put a delay(around 30 seconds) before your lightbox pops up. The moment I visited your site, the lightbox automatically popped up and that turns me off. Maybe it's just me, but if I was interested in your site, I would like a little time to look around first before having to sign up for anything....

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the inputs, I put 15 sec delay on the pop up as recommended by Mark Ling in the Bootcamp. If 30 sec is better then I will adjust, I also thought of that being so soon but since it's recommended that way on the manual then I follow....

How can I adjust the appearance of my site to show one particular article if you first go in. Because when you click on the side bar that's the time it will show the topic article. Can I fix this in wordpress?

Thanks,

If you want a particular post to be the first one that a visitor sees when they come to your site via your main domain you can make a post "sticky"

Go into the post that you want to be first via "quick edit" there will be an option to make the post "sticky". That will keep it on top.

Is that what you meant?

Hi Michelle,

I am trying to do your instruction above but I can't seem to find the ID #.
Where can I find the page ID number?

Thanks,

Go to Appearance > Theme Options > Sidebar and enter the code into the Sidebar Custom Content (top). This will only work if the Sidebar List Type is set to List All. If you added your article as a post, make sure to first exclude it from the sidebar by entering its ID into the “Exclude any posts from the sidebar?” field on the Sidebar tab of Theme Options.

Hi Michelle,

I followed your instructions but seems like I am not getting it right. When I click on the website it still giving me the whole pages of the website in one screen. And worst is... when I click the home page (sidebar) My Free German Shepherd Guides instead of showing this article alone on the screen which I get before, now it shows all the articles.

My ID post = 239 as I get in shortlink
is the script I put correct?
<a href="http://myfreegermanshepherdguides.com">My Free German Shepherd Guides</a>

Please help me.
Thanks,
