Default chicken and egg problem with buttons

I'm having a chicken and egg problem with the configuration step of making the buttons and linking them to the reviews.

Since posting to the site has not yet taken place, I don't really have any place to link the screenshot buttons TO.

Should I just make dummy placeholder posts or would it be better to do the day 9 posting to site task and then come back to the buttons?

Is Not having any content what is also making the site have the big error message


Not Found

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

SOMETHING is supposed to go into the box on the homepage, but I'm not sure what.

It still doesn't look right even after I add a bit of temporary text.

look at http://www.NewIdentityTheftArticles.com and you'll see what I mean


I don't like to leave a site up for a whole week with no content while spiders are roaming.

Have I misunderstood something?

hi wildmind

The setup of the blogs should include 5 articles posted. I think it was not stated clearly in the manual. However if you read the Day 9, it says you should have 5 articles up by now.

Hence, go pick out 5 articles from the niche pack and do a 25% rewrite and post away!

As for the recommended link, you can temporarily change the url to your own site first and comment the button out by going to the sidebar.php and putting this comment html tag in around :
eg.

<!--

<div class="menublock">
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.yourdomain.com">
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/">Our #1 Niche</a </p>
</div>

-->


cheers
Lesley

It looks fine to me, all that is missing is a title for your first post.

The first thing you should do is make some posts because it won't be long before google pays a vist.

Default Thanks everybody

Thanks. I was puzzled by why day 1 or 2 didn't say anything about posting articles and the book didn't either. I was trying to follow the step by step exactly ... good lesson that I should never throw away common sense. :wink:

I'll go back an update my own notes
