A couple of weeks ago I came up with the idea of starting a daily blog about webdesign and all related stuff. The idea is to post an article every day about something I’m working on, something interesting I saw or read, something I had problems with, and so on. The subject can be anything: webdesign, coding, wordpress, usability, seo, graphic design, logo design, seo, marketing, jquery… you name it!

The purpose of course is to start some interesting discussions, share some knowledge and teach eachother.

So where to start with? Let’s use this first post to tell about the proces of setting up of this blog.

The theme
The last two days I’ve been busy setting the whole thing up. Allthough I’m not very experienced in Wordpress it all went pretty smooth. I started by downloading the ‘Evening Sun’ theme from Spectacu.la. I didn’t completely match my requirements so I designed a new lay-out and integrated this with the theme. It’s not completely finished but I hope you like it so far.

Plugins
The next thing I did was installing some plugins. Google XML-sitemap generator, All-in-one-Seopack, Sociable, Tweetmeme and a Twitterwidget. I think these plugins are quite familiar to everyone who has used Wordpress before.

Google Analytics
Never forget to install Google Analytics!

RSS
I added the RSSfeed to Feedburner.

Well that’s about it. It took me about two days in total. Wordpress is an awesome tool which I can recommend to everyone who wants to set up a blog. But enough about that… Everyone knows that!

So what can you expect in the future?
As I said before I will post an article everyday about a very wide range of subjects. Could be anything! So if your interested please come back daily, submit to my RSSfeed and follow me on Twitter. I will of course tweet every new article!

Please contact me if you’re interested in writing a guest post or anything else. All is appreciated!

I really hope you will enjoy the blog! I’m going to take a beer and some sleep after that!

See you tomorrow!
