How much time would 1 WP blog creation require

Rajul kaushik · 05-14-2009, 08:54 AM

I would like you all to suggest your estimates on the ''right amount of time'' that would be required OR I should spend in doing these:

1) I buy a wordpress blog theme
2) Then upload this theme to my WP blog in ''my hosting account''
3) Then customise the blog header with unique header title, logo and footer.
4) I would then populate that blog with relevant content comprising of free images, videos, RSS feeds, unique articles, place adsense code on it
5) And finally will place the required plugins to optimise the blog.

Thanks,
Rajul

That would take me about an hour to do manually or about 2 minutes using Firepow

It's all about how much time or money you have.

I can add a new blog with all that in the time it takes to put in the ftp details, choose a template and click the mouse a few times.

1) I buy a wordpress blog theme - 2 minutes if you already know what template you want. If not no more than 20 minutes...

2) Then upload this theme to my WP blog in ''my hosting account'' - 2 minutes I would say...

3) Then customise the blog header with unique header title, logo and footer. - I depends what the blog header would be --- It usualy takes me an hour to do it...

4) I would then populate that blog with relevant content comprising of free images, videos, RSS feeds, unique articles, place adsense code on it. - If you have already all the content then it will take you no more than 30 minutes ( if you are not newbie )

5) And finally will place the required plugins to optimise the blog. - 20 minutes...

So the total time should be around 2-3 hours...

I am with Ivancho on this.
2-3 hours providing all the content is within reach.
Also, I usually spend some extra time making the code 100% W3C compliant.

Probably about 10-15 minutes if I'm using a packaged setup with a theme and plugins and using automated content. Most of that is just testing and making sure everything switched on OK.

I do my own themes for the most part and I have 30+ base templates I've previously prepared. If I want to do a custom, niche specific, header this might add a little extra time, roughly 15 to 30 minutes unless I start getting picky or playing around in Photoshop.

If I do custom articles using a combination of my Blog Content Wizard program and PLR articles it takes about 30 to 60 minutes to create a set of 10 adequate, unique, readable articles.

I think it would depend on how much content you wish to fill it.

Steps 1,2,3 &5 require very little time, just clicking your mouse button a couple times and letting things load etc...

Step 4 could be any where from 5 min to 5 months or 5 years etc...

I guess Firepow is an expensive proposition, isn't it?
And any one here ready to show a blog created and being maintained using Firep--?
Is there any alternative to fire pow, BTW?

FredFarnes · 05-14-2009, 11:22 AM

The biggest time-waste for me is the graphics for banner image etc. Using digital art software, finding some images to incorporate, editing the layers, fussing with details and colors. Ouch, it can take me a long time!

What are you speedsters doing for banner image graphics? Are they professional-looking? Any samples you can post? I'd really like to solve this problem.

Rajul kaushik · 05-14-2009, 02:52 PM

I agree with Fred and would be interested in getting a quickfix for the graphics/images related side of these wp blogs. Thanks.

I don't have a problem showing blogs made using FP, but you already just said the same thing - they have exactly what you asked for - a choice of theme (just pick from a list), a choice of content (just choose - articles, rss, blog posts etc.), a choice of plugins (check the boxes for the plugins you want and they get installed), timed content release etc.....

So - they look just like any other blog with those type of content.

I used to build these myself manually - but now what used to take an hour or more just takes a couple of minutes.

Maybe the tool is expensive - but only if you're not going to use it. If you use it and build a network of auto-building blogs - it's easy money and a no-brainer.

It's up to you - It's not my tool so I don't care what you do, but you asked so I'm telling you how you can do it.

Not sure if you are looking for a solution or just general opinion on the time required.

Just organize your themes and plug-ins and once you become proficient with how you want them to look it will become a less time consuming process.

Modifications to CSS and Header are still the largest PITA for me... but I am not good with graphics or design so I just outsource now which slows down implementation but it allows me to focus on more productive things.
