I just searched Google for my site and found 141 index pages... I am no where close to that many pages but when i looked i found wp-includes and a lot of other wp pages index. I searched the internet for about an hour before i found somewhere to help me get rid of these. Thanks Daryll Thanks for this tip.

Yet, at the same time I am always on the lookout for alternatives, based both on price and just having other options for my clients. This sounds interesting, so I will have to check in to it.

I have seen a suggestion that Wordpress developers should allow users to designate the URL structure for the backend as well, maybe by easily renaming key files. While it may be a bit more time consuming and will not allow "automatic updates" I have begun the practice of renaming such files. This requires a massive search and replace, but it does help sure up any WP installation I use! Great job bringing this to light! Ed Steve,

Coz i have came across very bad experience. I have sold once domain and the money was transferred to my account from the person who bought that from me, but within hours he transferred the money back to his own account. I mean i lost the site and with that my money is gone. I think pay pal should change its some of the rules. This shouldn't be allowed... I can’t trust the rules made by Pay Pal.

Most people think they can wait a couple days but it isn't the case. Just like your site has seconds to get the visitors attention, you've got seconds to build trust.

I have much work to do here.. The thing is, the jewelry thing is getting old.. And I keep getting asked to help people with their sites so I may as well charge them for it and get back in to the swing of things.. I still plan to "focus" on my own properties, but if I can help someone achieve more then I'm all for helping them there as well.. Heh – thanks for the logo.. I have much work to do here..
