WildWebDesigner now has a simple Link Exchange process using WP Reciprocal Links Plugin! October 24th, 2008
If you have a WordPress Blog, and you want a simple way of Exchanging Links with others, this Plugin does it! You can Download it here and for any questions, go to to the authors site here. As usual, there were a couple of little bugs, but all the kinks have been worked out now!
If you would like to exchange Links with this site simply find the button above that says “Link Exchange” and fill out the simple little form. Here is one tip, get the code for your site first and then come back and fill out the form. If you have a blog it is simple, just add a link to TrafficComplex.com in your Blogroll, then fill out the form and you are done, I will take a look, make sure it isn’t SPAM or something and approve it.
Remember, Reciprocal Links, or link backs, whatever you want to call it are one of the most important things you can do to improve your sites status (PageRank) on the search engines, so, get busy!

WildWebDesigner: Site updates and Changes, the Pirates are gone! July 13th, 2008
You may nave noticed that WildWebDesigner has changed, and yes, there are 2 blogs! The old WildWebDesigner.com/blog/ is not going anywhere, this blog is for the articles and such written by others, that some may still find useful, but, the main site, WildWebDesigner.com, will be the focal point of this domain. The sample sites are all gone, well almost all, there is actually a site I built to help out a buddy, that is still part of this domain, Kenny’s Small Engine Repair, and a Blog for Kenny’s as well, this is kind of how it all got started here.
In the beginning, I had all of my sites hosted with Yahoo, and, for the beginner, that is definitely the way to go, but, as times have changed, and the days of the old “Static” website are over! Yes, Yahoo’s Sitebuilder is the easiest of it’s kind and very functional, allowing you to do things that others won’t, I miss using it for simple pages that will always be needed for some things, and yes, you can install a WordPress Blog in the root of your domain with Yahoo, but, Yahoo is very restrictive on what they allow, so modifying that site gets problematic, and, that is what I do, so, by by Yahoo!
There could be some confusion right now, I hope to clear that all up. When this site was first put together, the main focus was on helping DIY webmasters to get the job done, therefore, I had samples of the various things that one could do when building a website. Yes, that was a mistake, I had an old phpBB 2.3 forum, now I know why that has been replaced by 3.0!
This forum got hijacked, by Pirates! Since it was completely empty, only the sample post that is created when installing the new board, I never expected anyone to even look at it, but I was sure wrong!
As I was deleting the pages that I didn’t want to use anymore, the samples had to go, and while determining which database went to those samples, I noticed that the one for this old forum was huge! I’ll put it this way, I have a lot of Domains on my host’s server, and when I removed that database, the amount of space I was using, got practically cut in half! I had to see why, so I went to that site, I almost fainted! I logged in to the admin area and it had almost 40,000 members and like 78,600 posts! While looking at the admin control panel, I saw that there were over 200 people logging in at that moment! I didn’t even try to see what all of the posts were, but let me put it this way,the nicest ones were SPAM! Needless to say, that kind of stuff is definitely not what this site, or any of my sites is about, so, I deleted that mess as fast as I could!
I used to have a lot of problems with SPAMMERS on my old phpBB boards, but nothing like that! Even though it is gone, I am still getting hundreds of visitors that are obviously still looking for that mess, sorry folks, you have to go someplace else for that now! The reason I am telling you about this, is that if you have an old phpBB Message board, UPGRADE IT!
If you accidentally stumbled across that mess and were as shocked as I was, I am sorry I didn’t find it sooner, but I had no idea that it was happening!

WildWebDesigner is going for a New Look! July 8th, 2008
Ok everybody that may be interested, times change and with that, the world wide web is a leader in change, so, we have changed our format, Web 2.0, I believe it is being called, to keep up with what the web is doing. Yes, the main focus will always be the same, helping others get a qualty site at a low cost. No, we are not high priced pro’s, but a guy with a hobby, that loves what he does and works cheap!
After this site is transformed, it will be a much more useful site and easier to maintain, gradually you will find the old links and information that was here before, just with a new look!
If you need help with a website, just use the contact us form to drop me a note.
