Per our tweet and tease on the support forums yesterday, the NewsPro theme has been updated with some exciting new features. However, the most noticeable updates are under the hood, and can be seen in the back-end control panel. So here’s a quick round-up of the latest updates to one of the best newspaper themes in the market. (p.s. we love newspaper themes!)
Theme Control Panel
What about it? Well since our users loved the new options panel introduced into the ShowFolio theme, we decided to do the same with NewsPro. So check out the new options panel which is far more organized and contains several enhancements not available in previous versions of this theme.
It’s been only two weeks since we released Showfolio – our first theme of the new year – and we already have an awesome update for our users. Those lucky customers who are proud owners of Showfolio can download the latest update now.
Theme Options
New Theme Options framework. By far the most noticeable update is the sleek new options panel. Using Devin’s great work over at WPTheming which was inspired by WooThemes, we have integrated a new theme options panel which will surely be welcomed by our users. It’s been something on the to-do list for quite a while, and about time we got around to it.
If you’re reading this then you want to know how to buy a domain name. Acquiring a great domain name is the first step in building a web site. It’s also one of the easiest things to do online – even for beginners with no technical knowledge.
Considerations
Do Keyword Research. If you plan on building a web site related to horse riding, then you’ll want to research the keywords in Google and check out your competition. Based on your research, determine what keywords you plan on targeting for search results and choose the domain name that best reflects your topic. Tip: It’s a good idea to have your keyword in your domain name for ranking purposes. This is not absolutely necessary, but definitely helps.
Choose the proper top-level domain or TLD. In other words, the suffix of your domain (i.e., .com, .net, .org, .info, etc). If your business is in the United States, then you should use .com as your domain. Most users assume domains end with a .com, so that should be your first preference. If .com is not available, only then would I recommend .net. The .org TLD is reserved for nonprofits. Stick to these TLDs and avoid the rest.
Check the domain name history. Google for previously indexed pages or any negative backlinks. You want to start with a clean slate.
