Now I’ve taken every single one of this week’s links and dropped it into the following list, for your perusal. I hope you enjoy it!

  • 570+ Design, SEO, Social Media and Freelance Links I Tweeted This Past Week (5/1-5/7)

At the end of the week I am compiling these resources to share in one spot for those that are interested. So here is some weekend reading, or a mega-bookmark, or however you choose to use this list.

  • WordPress: Hire A Pro Or Do It Yourself?

    I am a frugal person. If there is a deal to be found I will sniff it out and make it happen. If there is a way to do something myself rather than pay someone else, I will take the extra time (and sometimes the headache) and figure it out in order to save money. The ever-expanding library of online resources has helped me save money by doing my own auto repairs, computer upgrades, and much more. Of course, I have also used it to continually teach myself web design and development for the past 15 years.

    Because of my personal understanding of a desire to save money, I have at times helped potential clients install and set up their own WordPress websites when their budget did not allow for the hiring of a professional. While this means less paid business for me, in the end I am helping someone out who couldn’t afford to pay me anyway. If I can help save someone a headache or two by giving them a small amount of my time, pointing them in the right direction and answering a few questions, I will do it.

    Unfortunately, there are usually problems that occur when someone with little or no experience begins attempting to set up their own WordPress website, and I have had countless inquiries from the frustrated and confused webmaster wannabes, buried under the weight of something they never really completely understood in the first place. While WordPress is a relatively simple way to set up a basic blog or uncomplicated website, it can quickly become a nightmare for the weekend warrior website builder.

    In this post I want to point out a few of the pros and cons of hiring a professional to set up your WordPress website versus doing it yourself. If you are considering either, hopefully this will help you know what to think about and weigh in your decision making process.

    It’s Saturday again and that means time for the weekly list of resources I have tweeted over the past week. This week I was out of town on Sunday and Monday, so it was a little slower in the tweeting department – only 490 or so links. Next week hopefully we’ll be back into the 550 range, but for now this will have to do. Every day I tweet links to all of the articles and blog posts I subscribe to and read. Most of them are related to web design, graphic design, social media, technology, SEO, freelancing and sometimes just the latest buzz. Hopefully these weekly list will give you a place to catch up on anything you may have missed.

    This is it – you’ve struck the Mother Lode of MacDaddy links! All my Delicious bookmarks from September 2009 compiled and somewhat organized by subject matter.
