More and more people are beginning to be able to support themselves from income from their personal web presences. Photography is one area that has recently stood out as one that can generate income for all levels of photographers. While I’m still struggling to monetize some of my better images others with only a few years in the photography business are making an excellent living while really taking the time to actually live! One such person is Trey Ratcliff who with only a few years taking photos his site Stuck in Customs has 150,000 of hits per day on his photos! Yes per day! Monetizing that sort of traffic to some extent can’t be difficult but the way Trey has gone about it is truly admirable. His doesn’t accept paid advertising, he doesn’t endorse products and doesn’t do contract photo shoots. All he does is provide plenty of free content, personally interacts with his massive online community and then sells his stuff at reasonable prices. Go check out what he has for you!

Having Problems with Installing WP at Godaddy?
OK so you are having problems installing WordPress 2.01 on a GoDaddy Server!?
I spent hours looking for the solutions for the problems that I was having there. The most common advice was to migrate everything to Unix as that solves a load of problems with GoDaddy hosting but doesn’t do you any good if you wanted Windows hosting and WordPress!
So here is what I did with my Windows Server running PHP at GoDaddy to get WordPress working.
Tip 1. In the wp-config.php file make sure that you adjust the DB_HOST line to something similar to the code below.? Godaddy is that 1% that requires that value changed!
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql97.secureserver.net’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
Upload this file again and voila.
Hack 1. WordPress won’t install on Godaddy and you get the error message “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress”.? This one is easy and can be found on the wp support pages but here it is again for you anyway.
open wp-settings.php, comment the following two lines:
//if ( !extension_loaded(?mysql?) )
// die( ?Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL which is required for WordPress. );
Not sure what effect this will have on other workings of WP but it sure worked for me.
Hack 2. You can’t see any plugins in the Plugin page in admin.? This took me much longer to find and only one post from many showed me the way.? One clever cookie suggested to. . .
Open the wp-admin\admin-functions.php, find the following code (it’s a fair way down the page). Replace the old line with the new line.
function get_plugin_data($plugin_file) {
//$plugin_data = implode(file($plugin_file));
$plugin_data = file_get_contents($plugin_file);
Upload this file back to your server and check out the difference!
If you have any problems with Word Press I have found the best advice is to search via Google with Word Presses advice here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/60178
BTW – Word Press Blog is a fantastic product and they can do with all the help they can to keep the project alive.? Please reach into your Pay Pal account and round down your balance to the nearest $10 for them or just dig out a round $20 for them. Go on, you won’t notice it after a week but they will!
