Really hard. This is my answer to that question especially if its something you are new to. In my case, I really had a hard time starting out in wordpress, everything is so foreign to me. The interface, the navigation, the buttons, everything seems so Mac-ish to a guy who was born to use windows.

The tough issues i had to deal with was with the following:

• Selecting a template - I resolved this problem when I decided to stick to the template that I was using back on my Teens Make Money Online Blog. I recommend the same way to people who are wordpress starters. This way, you stick to something you are familiar with and in effect, you will save time by gradually learning the basics but still work continually instead of taking too much time figuring things out.
• Plugin Management - Plugins are what I love call as ” wordpress modifiers”. Others call it blog accessories but I prefer to brand it my own. As it turns out, its not really hard at all, you just had to experiment a bit. I usually get my resources here and i recommend you do too. I am currently employing 3 plugins; namely, the all-in-one adsense, all-in-one SEO and Akismet. Well, from this selections, you can tell im a big fan of all-in-ones.hehe
• Adsense Placement - This one really boiled me off. Literally! I downloaded numerous plugins for this one but most of them, as I found out, was just all obsolete. Im really glad I found All-in-one Adsense Plugin, as its name implies, it serves everything from the sidebar ad to the ones wrapped around on posts like you see on this one. You can read more about this plugin here.
• FTP and Wordpress Integration - God, this was i think the first one among others that made me pause and get some pain relievers for my headache. I couldnt figure out the relationship of the two and where I would log in to change what. This was all resolved by again, constant experimentation and as they say, experience is the best teacher. ( I couldn’t agree more)
• Niches, Keywords, Domain name - This are really not a huge issue but I think its worthy to include in here. I spent some quality time pondering about these things and finally came up with a minimal risk solution; I decided to stick with the one im comfortable talking about. . . - MONEY (Greedy me.hehe)

This are some of the things that really bugged me all this time and as you can see, the date of this post and the previous one is quite isolated, all this time, ive been trying to work things out and I finally got it to work though I still have a ton of things to do. So many work, So little time. . .

This is it! A new me is born. Im looking forward about the things I might come up with in the coming days and the ones that is on my mind right now. Expect for contests, gimiks and more to increase the site’s traffic as this is going to be a long term problem that will be resolved by of course, a long term solution.
