WordPress Bans Commercial Blog Links From Official Documentation
The WordPress team responsible for the official WordPress documentation posted a new external linking policy. The policy prohibits links to the blogs of commercial sites, even if those sites don’t sell a product. The response quickly turned negative.
Members of the WordPress development community with ties to commercial sites argued it was unfair.
Goal is to Protect WordPress Documentation from AbuseThe stated goal of the new external linking policy is to put a stop to attempts to place links to “helpful” articles that are on the blogs of external commercial sites.
According to the statement on WordPress:
“During discussion about external linking policy, we came to conclusion that we won’t allow, at least in the beginning and for the time being, any commercial blogs.
So before you start arguing that some popular plugin’s blogs have valuable information, let me stop you right there.
…this will completely move focus from initial idea which is:
Benefit for the documentation user.”
How To Make A WordPress Blog Part Of Your Website
If you already have a website for your small business and are considering a blog related to your work, there's no reason not to make a WordPress blog a part of your website. The software is free and you can install it yourself using the FTP software you use to add any page to your current website. Installing the blog and integrating it with your website should take less than an hour. However, you should count on at least a couple more hours to explore the features in WordPress, add content and begin customizing the design to more closely match your main website.
Install WordPress on Your Website
Log into your Web host administrative panel and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new SQL database. Launch Notepad, then copy and paste the database name, database URL, username and password into the file.
Navigate to the WordPress website in a new Web browser window and download the latest version of WordPress to your computer. This is a zipped file you can open with any free unzip utility like PKUnzip, 7-Zip or WinZip. Open the resulting "wordpress" folder.
Right-click the "wp-config-sample.Php" file, select "Open With" and click "Notepad." Read the instructions in the beginning of the file.
Replace "database_name_here" with the name of your SQL database. Replace "username_here" with your database user name. Replace "password_here" with your database password. Replace "localhost" with the URL of the SQL database server.
Verify that you have not mistyped any of the information and that each value you entered still has a single-quotation before and after the value. Click the "File" menu, select "Save As" and save the file in plain text and type "wp-config.Php" in the "Save As" field. Click "OK."
Rename the "wordpress" file on your computer with the name you want to use for your blog, such as "blog" or "myblog."
Launch an FTP client recommended by your Web host to upload files to your website. Filezilla, for example, is free FTP software. Log in to your website FTP server using the instructions provided by your Web host.
Drag the "blog" folder from your computer into the main folder of your website. This makes the blog folder a new directory on your website so that your blog URL will now be, for example, "www.Example.Com/blog."
Open a new Web browser window to open the WordPress installation file. You can do this by typing your website URL, followed by the blog directory, followed by "wp-admin/install.Php." In our example, you would type "www.Example.Com/blog/wp-admin/install.Php" in the address bar.
Click the "Install WordPress" button on the installation page. Follow the instructions to create a home page for the blog using your "www.Example/blog" format, an administrator name and password for the new blog.
Integrating the Blog and Website
Insert a link to the blog on your website's home page, which is the "index.Html" file. You can do this by using standard HTML hyperlink code such as "New Blog!" to announce your new blog.
Log in to your new WordPress blog with your administrator name and password.
Change the theme of your WordPress blog by clicking "Themes" in the left menu of the WordPress dashboard and selecting a theme that more closely resembles your main website, if desired. By default, WordPress installs the Twenty Eleven theme, which supports customized layouts, colors and menus. If you change themes, be certain the new theme supports customized menus.
Click the "Appearance" menu in the WordPress dashboard menu and select "Menus." The Menus panel opens.
Type "Main Menu" in the "Menu Name" field on the right.
Type your website address in the "URL" field in the Custom Links section, such as "http://www.Sample.Com." Type "Home" or "Main Website" in the "Text" field. Click the "Add to Menu" button.
Add any WordPress pages you create to the main menu by selecting them from the Pages section of the Menu panel. You can add or remove pages or custom links at any time. Change the order of the menu items by dragging them in the right side of the Menu panel.
Click "Save Menu" to close the Menu panel. The new menu appears at the top of every WordPress page with a "Home" or "Main Website" link to your main website.
