Being working a lot with WordPress and building websites for my clients at my Thesis child themes membership site, I found it really helpful to point everyone who wants to master WordPress to the right direction as this help me personally to educate my website members.

So that’s why I am always trying to find great and useful WordPress resources to share with my blog readers and community.

Here is my review of WordPress Training Hub video training course by Michele Welch the founder of NewBizBlogger.com. You really need to read this if you are keen to master WordPress as a business tool. 

Overview of WordPress Training Hub

The WordPress Training Hub has over 40 training videos that teach you how to create a successful business website using WordPress CMS. This training is highly recommended for newbies who wants to get things done quickly and avoid the hassle of creating their first blog. So, if you are getting ready to start your online business, this is one of the best WordPress video training you will ever get.

The videos takes you step by step and it has good deal of information that covers almost everything you need to know, starting from the the very first steps of creating a blog, then takes you through basics of WordPress, and ends with a quite good advanced WordPress customization.

Also, it’s very well organized training, every step leads to the next, so you won’t be losing your self.

Why I recommend WordPress Training Hub

It took me some time to review the because I wanted to make sure I’ve watched all videos before recommending it, now I can say that even though, someone like me who have been building websites using the awesomeness of WordPress CMS and worked with many clients in the past 6 years, I found quite good tips and hidden treasures in Michele’s video training, really good stuff!

So if you are building an online business blog, I simply can say this is the only video training you will ever need to success! There is nothing better than setting back, watch and learn!

Expect great results from WordPress Training Hub.

If you haven’t started yet to implement Google’s Rich Snippets into your WordPress blog, then you should do. adding Rich Snippets will allow Google to provide your content in a better way and recommend it to searchers.

I’ve worked recently to implement the reviews snippets into my project FamousBloggers.net because I’ve had such wonderful experience with a few WordPress themes and plugins recently, and I would like to review them the right way on my blog. 

Check my recent reviews:

• Thesis Theme Review.
• TweetAdder Review – Software
• Blog Post Promotion Review – eBook
• CommentLuv Premium review – WordPress plugin
• Revenue Engine Review – Book
• Gravity Forms Review – WordPress plugin
• Thirsty Affiliates Review – WordPress plugin

• CurationSoft Review – Content Curation software
• Headway 3.0 Review : The Easiest Way to Customize a WordPress Blog

I am really excited to see the stars, and thinking that this could help the grow of the blog and increase search traffic.

Update:

New Thesis Skin has been added to ThesisAwesome.com, I call it the BlogSkin, it’s ideal for internet marketers since I added fully customized Aweber opt-in forms to three different spots on the blog layout, all opt-in forms can be customized easily from the option panel without coding at all.

BlogSkin is the only Thesis Theme Skin ever created for multi-authors blogs, it has all what you need to start a multi-authors blog, there are loads of features that can be managed by only a few clicks and in no time, actually I think it has the best Skin Control Panel for Thesis, all this makes it ideal for supporting bloggers who would like to have guest posts on their blogs.

Check out the Thesis BlogSkin page at ThesisAweseom.com, there is also a demo for the blog skin.

New Thesis Skins and Plugins Free downlaods

I’ve created a new download center at ThesisAwesome.com as I am planning to release free skins for thesis. There are two free WordPress plugins for Thesis Themes available for download at the center now, it’s the Great Pens and Recent Contributors plugins.

The most interesting thing I would like to share with you is the 50% commission I’ve decided for my ThesisAwesome.com members, this is biggest commission in Thesis Skins Market, so consider signup to the affiliate program now and start referring new members to buy ThesisAwesome.com Skins and earn big commissions.

P.S. Want to know more about Thesis Framework? Read my Thesis Theme Review.

OptimizePress is an extremely customized theme that help you creating sales pages, landing pages, squeeze pages, or even a membership website using WordPress, I have one website powered by OptimizePress theme so far, and I must say that working with OptimizePress is a lot of fun as you actually see results in no time and without the need to code anything.

You don’t have to be a programmer, you also don’t have to be a web designer to create professional squeeze pages any more, and the best part is you don’t have to hire a programmer or a designer and pay a lot of money to do the job, I really love this theme and this is why I highly recommend it.

Powered by OptimizePress Theme for WordPress

I’ve written some a few posts about OptimizePress as reviews and resources to share this awesome WordPress theme to my blog readers, you can check it out here:

• OptimizePress WordPress Theme for Landing Page Amazing Results
• Optimize Press Blogging Theme Functionality
• OptimizePress Theme Squeeze Pages Templates
• OptimizePress Squeeze Pages
• Sell Physical Products from Affiliate Networks using OptimizePress
• OptimizePress Blog

Also Check my OptimizePress powered website and OptimizePress landing page which I created as a demo to demonstrate what can be done with OptimizePress theme.

I wrote a very nice Popup Domination Tutorial that explains the steps of installing HTML Popup Domination on any HTML web page step by step,  this is very useful when you build a landing page, or a sales page for your product, you will be able to get the popup form ready and up in a few minutes, connect it with your email list service, and start getting more opt-in right away.

I am using Aweber service to build email list, and I am doing quite fine with it, it gives me all features I need, and yes it’s a paid service, but it’s super cool when you buy something it pays itself, yes.. I’ve managed Aweber payment from my sales through email list. If you want to give it a try, Aweber cost $1 for the first month, find it here on my list of recommended affiliate products page over FamousBloggers.net, then you can unsubscribe if you feel you don’t like it, but I am sure you will love it.

Oh! and before I forgot, I must say that Popup Domination is a WordPress plugin, and now they have launched the stand a lone version I am talking about. Check out my HTML Popup Tutorial.

It’s one of my best tools!

This sad news motivated me to publish this post here on my personal blog, I was shocked today when I heard about the big open strike of IslamOnline employees that started since yesterday and still running at the moment of writing this post and promote it on Social Media, the basic reason behind it was that journalists and editors of the famous media website IslamOnline.net was threatened by their new management at Qatar to layoff all the 250  employees from their jobs in a blank of an eye!

I am writing this post to tell you all about it, they have started an official blog for IslamOnline Employees strike, so who ever like to help on promoting this blog to reach more people on the inter plz do it, there is also another post I have published on my other blog about IslamOnline Employees strike that has more details and photos. I believe that social media will play a big role on helping them to reach their goal.

I actually heard from my mates there that a lawyer is waiting to get an official authorization to give all 250 employees their rights, so probably this will be done by tomorrow but now one will leave the company building till everything is done. The employees are asking for (6 month of salary plus a month for each year they have been working for IslamOnline).

IslamOnline Employees Strike

I am a former employee of IslamOnline.net and I hate what’s happening with my fellows and workmates today even if I am not there with them. actually the office will be closed at any how, they will be with out a job, and all what they are asking for is something to help them facing the challenges of living!

There is a live stream page for the strike from inside Cairo’s building, and don’t forget to visit the official blog for IslamOnline Employees strike for more updates about the situation.
