Of the many things a start-up needs to do, one oft-forgotten staple is to evangelize its worldview. Solar panel makers can't sell you solar panels unless you know something about solar energy, global warming, or clean energy. So in effect, they have to make two sales: the first to evangelize their worldview; the second to sell you their product as having a competitive advantage.

We call that first kind of sale an evangelical sale, and it can be much more difficult for companies to master. It takes longer to pay off, its much less intuitive than just pitching features, advantages, and benefits, and it's harder to do with authority than speaking of one's own product. It would be fair to say that most innovative start-ups get caught selling to "believers" or "early adopters" and never "cross the chasm" successfully to court prospects who need more nurturing.

Why use WordPress as a website? Before I spent some time with the platform I had no idea. Soon I learned that WordPress is much more then just blogging. There are several features that WordPress can offer you that bring it to the next level, and all of these can make your blog look more like a website-blog cyborg every day.PagesThe availability of pages can make your blog more than it ever was before. Pages can add the dimension your blog needs to move to the next step in its online existence. Once you've snagged yourself some of the all-important content, the sky is the limit. The staple page is of course About. This kind of page can really make your blog bring more to the table without cluttering your webhome.Personally, my favorite thing about pages is their ability to give your readers more to click about for. You want your site to be like beef jerky: savory and delicious, with lots to chew over.I would recommend about five pages for a normal blog/website creature. Five keeps it uncluttered, but makes it information filled as well. If you're going to go for less, no worries, just make sure the stuff you put up there is quality {naturally}. I wouldn't recommend going for more unless you know exactly what shenanigans you're going to be up to.ThemesIf you're not going to use WordPress then your going to have to do one of a few things {that is assuming that messing with HTML daily and getting your hands all sticky with CSS isn't your thing}:

Before we start discussing what you should and should not do with Blogs, let's take one step back and define what a Blog is.

A Blog can be thought of as a simple, public online diary where you can write entries (posts) into the diary.

You've probably seen an email from a Nigerian prince saying how he needs help and how he needs you to wire money to help him. These are just one of the tools that criminals are using in the case of email theft. Also, another main tool used in email theft is phishing. Feel free to visit my blog for more information on identity theft.

Whatever you, be as cautious as possible. On average it takes 175 hours to recover your own identity and nearly $808. The prosecution rates for identity thieves are low. We are progressing somewhat though. A bill was passed in 2004 by Bush that dished out tougher penalties for identity thieves.
