Jumpstart Your Thinking: How To Organize Your Website’s Content (Video)
Having Trouble Thinking About What To Include In Your Website?
There’s more to it than those first six pages you came up with. Figuring it all out can be a bit of a challenge. What you really need is a website content plan. In case you haven’t hired an internet coach or a website designer, here’s a video created by Scott Ellis to jumpstart your thinking process.
Scott Ellis teaches an effective way to organize the myriad of content that will make up your website and keep things logically organized, consistent and on message.1
This video is Building The Ultimate Website Content Map (Part One). I haven’t seen a second part, but this first one may be all you need to help focus your thinking and jumpstart your website.
Strategic Planning The Fun Way
Another way to organize your content is to create a Squidoo Lens, even a fun one like my Don Cornelius Soul Train Video Showcase. Why? Because they are focused — laser sharp — on a topic. The workflow is sort of laid out for you, and you can easily add and remove modules containing text, video, audio, etc.
Think of creating such a lens as an exercise in strategic planning. Not only does it help get you in the producer zone, once completed you’ll also have another way to show your expertise to your visitors, customers, clients, and followers. And, hey, it doesn’t have to be cool like my Soul Train lens, it could be a mixture of business and pleasure like my personal lens, Vernessa Taylor, Local Business Coach.

Your RSS feed doesn’t work in my browser (google chrome) how can I fix it?
Thanks for letting me know. Looks like this is one feature Google forgot to add to Chrome. Here are some tips for Chrome users from ReadWriteWeb in their article Finally – Get RSS Support for Google Chrome. Hope this helps.
You have a great looking site. I have read a lot of these posts and they have come in use. I have visited many blogs and it seems like most of the information sounds generic or is copied from other site and I can’t ever get useful information or information that is even worth the time that I spend reading it. I myself run several blogs and forums. Most of my blogs pertain to animals,to be more specific, dogs. I have checked out your site and absolutely love it. I would like for you to visit some of my blogs. I know that you probably don’t want me posting all my links here and I do not want you to feel like I am spamming you so therefore I will not leave a bunch of links. However, if it is okay with you, I would like to post a link to one of my most successful sites. The main component of my site is vbulletin forums. I also have a blog on this site along with a function that allow members to enter their dog’s pedigrees. The pedigrees show up in a four generation site where every dog name is a link to that dog’s four generation pedigree. I would really like for you to check out my site and let me know your thoughts on it and ideas or suggestions for improvement. I am especially interested inyour input on my blog because this seems to be your specialty. My site URL is PetPedigreeDatabase.com

i’ll make it a point to check out a handful of several other blogposts soon after i get a bit of caffeine in me, it can be arduous to read without my coffee, cheers
