How To Build a WordPress Website

I recently switched over to a new Hosting Company after having some issues with an upgrade the old provider did on their platform. Along with this switch I want to do some testing to see how certain changes will work out.

Changing Hosting Company

One of the changes is the change of hosting company, going from a Dutch based server to a USA based server.
It should provide some more traffic from the US if the geotargetting function of Google and Yahoo / Bing takes the IP address of the server into account.
The new platform is also faster then the old provider was...

Changing URLs / Domain

The second change was a change in domain name. I went from wordpress-cms-hummerbie.com to http://wpsitebuilding.com where the old url has a 301 redirect (permantly moved) to the new domain.

Changing WordPress Theme

The third change is the change of the WordPress Theme to the Excutive Blog Theme by StudioPress which is a new theme that has also by search engine optimized by Joost de Valk from www.yoast.com.

In the screenschot below you can see how this theme works out on my new site.

I will post here in a few weeks to tell you if the expected results are indeed working for Building a Website with WordPress. In the mean time go check out the site!
