After several weeks of issues with a designer I hired to integrate the website template into a valid xHTML/CSS Wordpress template it is finally completed! I actually had to hire another designer to complete the Wordpress theme integration because of issues with the first designer. I am extremely pleased with the new design and layout of the blog, but it is far from complete. Now comes the optimization portion of the overall process where I will be installing various plugins for better navigation and functionality, social marketing, and search engine optimization.
Once I have completed installing all the plugins and optimizing the blog, I will make a detailed post on what plugins I installed, as well as how I optimized the blog. I hope our readers enjoy the new layout and design!

If your a regular reader of this blog you probably noticed the lack of blog posts recently. This is due to the fact that I am waiting for the design of the blog and rest of the site to be completed before getting into any more posting. If you’ve been looking around the site you’ll notice that the site is almost completely finished with the new design. I would say it is going to take another day or two to be fully complete, so it’s a safe bet to say the design will be completed by sometime in the middle of next week. This is when you can expect to see more meaty, juicy posts rolling in!
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been really busy writing up some great posts, in fact, I have about 5 drafts sitting in Wordpress almost completed and waiting to be published, but want to get the site design out of the way first in case I have to edit the posts with images to display nicely with the new design.
The first post after the design is completed will be Part 2 of “Deciding Which Affiliate Market to Promote (Part 1)“, followed by our first SEO Lab experiment post.

Since the beginning of last week Valued Affiliates has been working with a designer for a makeover of the current site. The designer should be starting a preliminary design for the website on Monday and estimated it would take about two days for the first draft of the design to be available.
I already sent some design images and my concept to the designer, so sometime this week you should see a new design for the blog if everything goes as planned. In addition, the designer will be integrating the design into the whole website which will include the main website, forum, and affiliate directory.

I’ve upgraded the forums from SMF to Vbulletin. SMF is a great forum software, but I feel Vbulletin gives added value to the website, and should be used for serious projects and long term commitments.
In addition, I am currently in discussion with several professional web design companies to get the website, forum, and blog a top-notch makeover!
