You won&#8217;t be able to see the extra code in the WordPress visual editor, but if you switch to the WordPress HTML editor and know a bit of HTML, you&#8217;ll notice lots of extra code throughout your blog post that has no reason to be there other than to cause formatting problems on your blog.</p><h3>Simple Solution to Copying Content</h3><h3>Option 1 (plain text editor)</h3><ol><li>Copy the text first into a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit.</li><li>Select All and Copy the text again from the plain text editor.</li><li>Paste into the&nbsp;<em>Edit Post/Page</em>&nbsp;area of WordPress.</li></ol><h3>Option 2 (HTML View)</h3><ol><li>Copy the text from Word (or other desktop publishing application)</li><li>In the&nbsp;<em>Edit Post/Page</em>&nbsp;area of WordPress select the&nbsp;<em>HTML</em>&nbsp;tab (next to&nbsp;<em>Visual</em>&nbsp;on the top right of the screen)</li><li>Paste the text you have copied into the text box.</li><li>Go back to the&nbsp;<em>Visual</em>&nbsp;tab and format the text as needed.</li></ol><h3>Option 3 (Paste from Word)</h3><ol><li>Copy the text from Word (or other desktop publishing application)</li><li>On the&nbsp;<em>Edit Post/Page</em>&nbsp;menu bar press the&nbsp;<em>Show/Hide Kitchen Sink</em>&nbsp;button (<img

Los motivos son  muchos, &quot;no le veo utilidad&quot;, &quot;no tengo tiempo&quot;, &quot;eso  no va conmigo&quot; &ldquo;es muy costoso&rdquo;, etc. Pero las preguntas son, &iquest;Realmente  es necesario estar presente en la web? &iquest;Es importante s&oacute;lo para un determinado  sector? y &iquest;Cu&aacute;l es la verdadera utilidad?</p><p>Actualmente la presencia en la web de una  empresa es parte fundamental para comunicarse con sus grupos de inter&eacute;s, en  otras palabras para publicitarse, por lo tanto la respuesta ser&iacute;a, si, es  importante estar en la web, independientemente del sector de la empresa, pero  es a&uacute;n m&aacute;s importante estar presente, con un plan estrat&eacute;gico definido, sin &eacute;l  es mejor no emprender su aplicaci&oacute;n. Y es que en medio de un entorno  empresarial tan competido como el actual, ninguna empresa por peque&ntilde;a que sea  puede dar ventajas, en este sentido, la que no se publicite en la web est&aacute;  condenada a perder participaci&oacute;n en el mercado.</p><p>Indiscutiblemente, una de las herramientas que  existen para sacarle el mayor provecho a la red, es que la empresa cuente con  una p&aacute;gina propia. Poco a poco las peque&ntilde;as empresas han ido entendiendo que  esta herramienta no es exclusiva para las grandes compa&ntilde;&iacute;as y que montar una  p&aacute;gina no resulta tan costoso ni tan dispendioso como se pensaba.</p><p>La clave est&aacute; en conocer c&oacute;mo funciona la web para  que la p&aacute;gina sea frecuentada, y se convierta en una aliada eficaz de mercadeo  y negocios que permita, a la vez, estrechar las relaciones con proveedores y  clientes. Para eso es necesario analizar con cuidado los recursos, el poder de  expansi&oacute;n y la filosof&iacute;a de cada una de las empresas, pues lo que se ofrece es  una asesor&iacute;a integrada.</p><p>El objetivo es que la empresa crezca dentro de  determinado sector, que se haga m&aacute;s competitiva, conquiste nuevos mercados y  mejore la fidelizaci&oacute;n de sus clientes. Con base en este potencial, se  desarrolla una unidad de negocios para crear p&aacute;ginas en la web con base en las  necesidades espec&iacute;ficas de las empresas.</p><p>Navegando un poco por Internet es f&aacute;cil  encontrar p&aacute;ginas web con un blog corporativo sin actualizaciones durante  meses, perfiles en las redes sociales sin publicaciones, pr&aacute;ctica o totalmente  abandonados. En estos casos, podemos afirmar que esa &quot;presencia&quot; no  es positiva en absoluto. As&iacute; que conocer cu&aacute;les son nuestros objetivos en la  web y qu&eacute; pasos debemos seguir para alcanzarlos es crucial para el &eacute;xito de la  aplicaci&oacute;n. Y debemos tener claro que, al igual que el posicionamiento en  buscadores, se trata de una carrera de fondo, cuyos beneficios no ser&aacute;n perceptibles  sino se ofrecen actualizaciones. La dedicaci&oacute;n y la constancia son,  indiscutiblemente, la clave del &eacute;xito.</p><p>Sabemos que con el Internet podemos obtener  informaci&oacute;n sobre cualquier tema que deseemos, noticias, salud, deportes, entretenimiento,  historia, lugares, etc., gracias a que es una red mundial que comparte  informaci&oacute;n por medio de las p&aacute;ginas; ahora siendo el Internet una herramienta de  comunicaci&oacute;n tan &uacute;til, las empresas deben tener su propio sitio en la web donde  muestren informaci&oacute;n de la compa&ntilde;&iacute;a, describan sus productos y servicios y  tengan una mejor relaci&oacute;n con sus clientes.</p><p>Esto significa que una p&aacute;gina de Internet  puede tener varias utilidades o beneficios para la empresa, como una segunda  puerta de publicidad ya que es como un anuncio que todos los d&iacute;as y a todas  horas estar&aacute; presente, la promoci&oacute;n de la comunicaci&oacute;n con los clientes, la  posibilidad de encontrar informaci&oacute;n sobre nuevos proveedores y tambi&eacute;n la generaci&oacute;n  de una buena imagen para los clientes, con esto obviamente el aumento del  volumen de ventas.</p><p>Recordemos que los inicios de la empresa en  Internet comenzaron por el descubrimiento de las ventajas que represent&oacute; el uso  del email o correo electr&oacute;nico para la comunicaci&oacute;n de la empresa y en las  primeras p&aacute;ginas de Internet que figuraron de algunas empresas que presentaban  informaci&oacute;n est&aacute;tica y su &uacute;nico objetivo era tener una presencia publicitaria. Pero  con la irrupci&oacute;n de las p&aacute;ginas web de las empresas en Internet, ha iniciado un  proceso de transformaci&oacute;n en la forma de hacer negocios e incluso de crear y  desarrollar las empresas.</p><p>Por ejemplo, el comercio electr&oacute;nico que es  una las aplicaciones de Internet con mayor crecimiento ya que el n&uacute;mero  potencial de clientes de la red es muy grande, ha hecho que las empresas est&eacute;n  entrando al mercado de Internet, especialmente en la prestaci&oacute;n de servicios. Este  mercado ha tenido un crecimiento enorme en los &uacute;ltimos a&ntilde;os ya que reduce los  costos de distribuci&oacute;n, aumenta el acceso a nuevos mercados, y ofrece la  posibilidad de tener un gran impacto en el sector empresarial de la compa&ntilde;&iacute;a.</p><p>Ahora, donde las tecnolog&iacute;as se desarrollan  m&aacute;s r&aacute;pidamente, las empresas no pueden quedarse rezagadas y no hacer nada al  respecto, toda empresa tradicional deber&iacute;a ya contar con su propia pagina web. Las  ventajas, como se han mencionado, son muchas, incidiendo de forma positiva en  los resultados de todas las &aacute;reas funcionales de la empresa como marketing,  comercial, compras, recursos humanos, administraci&oacute;n, producci&oacute;n, etc.</p><p>Pero recordemos que el desarrollo del sitio web  debe ser consecuencia de un profundo an&aacute;lisis en los que como m&iacute;nimo participen  la empresa, la competencia, los clientes y los proveedores y se eval&uacute;e c&oacute;mo  influye la empresa en la web, junto con todos estos factores. Por esto  concluimos, empresas fuera de la red: empresas fuera del mercado.</p><p>Por: Carolina Toca Perea &#8211; <em> Escritora de art&iacute;culos de opini&oacute;n, abogada y magister en asuntos internacionales.</em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://creativewebdesign123.com/la-presencia-de-las-empresas-en-la-web-una-necesidad/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Keeping WordPress up to date &#8211; Is It Really Necessary?</title><link>http://creativewebdesign123.com/keeping-wordpress-up-to-date-is-it-really-necessary/</link> <comments>http://creativewebdesign123.com/keeping-wordpress-up-to-date-is-it-really-necessary/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 09 May 2012 14:44:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Creative Web Design 123</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[WordPress Web Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[beginners guide to wordpress]]></category> <category><![CDATA[free blog setup]]></category> <category><![CDATA[free wordpress blog setup]]></category> <category><![CDATA[free wordpress setup]]></category> <category><![CDATA[harden server vulnerabilities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Securing WordPress tips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tips for wordpress]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress beginner]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress for beginner]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress hacks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress plugins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress resource]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WordPress Security Services]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress themes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wordpress tips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wp expert]]></category> <guid

href="http://creativewebdesign123.com/optimizing-wordpress-websites/" class="local-link">WordPress</a>&nbsp;Is It Really&nbsp;Necessary Or Not..?</strong> Well this is one of those questions I get asked quite often, especially by those that are fairly new to WordPress.</p><p>If there is a critical security patch then I would say without doubt, grab it with both hands, for the simple reason that there are people (and I use the term lightly), roaming the Internet in search of unprotected &amp; insecure sites, on which to wreak their havoc! I have had hacking attempts on my own sites so don&rsquo;t think that hackers would not be interested in your site, because they are interested in any opportunity to practice their hacking abilities.</p><p>This is why, WordPress has developers team that including security developers, that always try to improve the security holes of older WordPress with the newer files to help hardening WordPress. For this reason doing a WordPress update is necessary, because after a WordPress update your blog files will be harder to &ldquo;hack&rdquo; compared if you still have the old files.</p><blockquote><p>Keeping your <a
href="http://creativewebdesign123.com/about-us/wordpress-consulting/" class="local-link">WordPress</a> version update is important as, according to company Sucuri Security, 70% of website hacks are because of outdated software. And website hacks are very much on the rise.</p></blockquote><p>If we didn&rsquo;t and you&rsquo;re not sure if your site runs WordPress, login to your site and it should load a page called &ldquo;Dashboard.&rdquo; The box in the upper left corner should say &ldquo;Right Now&rdquo; and say &ldquo;You are using WordPress version number.&rdquo; If you don&rsquo;t see this, you most likely don&rsquo;t have WordPress.</p><p>It is possible that you have a website where only the blog itself runs WordPress. If you have a separate login for your blog than the login for the other pages on your site, login to your blog and check.</p><p>If you want your website updated but are un-comfortable doing this yourself, we offer the service for you.</p><p><strong>Backing up your entire WordPress Website.</strong></p><p>Not only is <a
href="http://creativewebdesign123.com/about-us/web-maintenance/" class="local-link">backing up your blog essential</a>, but also backing up your other websites and files on you computer.</p><p>Why Should I Upgrade WordPress?</p><p>Compatibility with New Plugins. If you are running an older version of WordPress and install a brand new plugin, it may require the latest version of WordPress to work correctly. In such a case, you would somehow have to find an older version of that plugin that is compatible with your version of WordPress, and that version might be missing some important features and bug fixes that were introduced in the newer version.</p><p>If you are using an older version of WordPress, you might be doing many things the long way.</p><h3>Summary</h3><p>So to answer the question&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;<a
href="http://creativewebdesign123.com/about-us/web-maintenance/" class="local-link">Upgrading WordPress</a> &ndash; Is It Really Necessary..?&rdquo;&nbsp;</strong>I would have to answer Yes by all means upgrade, but do it when your ready &amp; not because you feel pressured into doing so; this way you will be assured of a trouble free installation of WordPress &amp;&nbsp;when you see some of the sites produced by this excellent blogging software, you&nbsp;soon realise why WordPress is still rated as the number 1 blogging platform.</p><p>To me, WordPress updates are necessary and important.</p><h3>We can help: Upgrade WordPress Service</h3><p>What&#8217;s included&#8230;</p><ul><li>A working backup of your database and all website files saved to our external hard drive.</li><li>Manual removal of all obsolete WordPress files.</li><li>Upload of the latest WordPress core files.</li><li>Upgrade of your database to the latest stable version.</li><li>Upgrade of WordPress plugins (if they were hacked, price of update will go up).</li><li>Test your updated WordPress site.</li><li>Detailed report of your WordPress updates.</li></ul><p><a
