The Power of Pink website was developed to help promote the book Power of Pink written by Fawn Estes in support of a close friend to help offset medical costs. 100% of the proceeds will go to her friend, and so Fawn had a strict budget that she needed to keep to and wanted to be able to make updates on her own.
Wordpress not only makes a great blog, but its also a top notch CMS (Content Management System). It allows me to design the site, and allows a user to easily go in and make changes to the content without having to touch a single line of code. Its a great option for those who want to maintain their own site, but dont want to touch, or even look at code to do it.
Even though Fawn had a tight budget, her needs were very simple and the process was straight-forward from start to finish. I was able to complete her site within budget, and she decided to also include a store. Even the ecommerce aspect of this site is completely managed within Wordpress, so Fawn is able to maintain the shop as easily as any other content on this site.
Please visit Power of Pink, and if you’d like to lend a helping hand, order a copy of the book! It would make a great gift of inspiration for supporters and survivors alike! Power of Pink
In order for your domain name to point to your website, you need to set the nameserver for it in your account. This lets the domain know where your site is located so that your visitors will be able to view it.
- Log into your GoDaddy account, and choose “Domain Manager” from the left hand menu.
- Locate the domain name you wish to point and click the “Details” link.
- In the top menu, select “Nameservers.” A dialog box to set nameservers will appear.
- Select “I will host my domains with another provider” and enter the new nameservers provided by your host in the first two boxes Nameserver 1 and Nameserver 2.
- Hit OK and youre done!
It can take up to 48 hours for your nameservers to properly propigate throughout the internet, but in my experience with GoDaddy, the changeover happens within a couple of hours.
