Common ‘Broken Theme’ and ‘Stylesheet Missing’ WordPress Issues

A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a “Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing” error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily,there is a very easy fix. Please follow the steps below to rectify this issue or watch the screencast.

1. Download the final zip file from your downloads page.
2. Unzip the final zip file; you should now have a final download folder.
3. Do NOT upload the final download folder. Open up the final download folder.
4. Browse the contents and find the actual theme folder. If you look inside the theme folder, you will see a “style.css” file. This is how you know you have found the theme folder.
5. Using an FTP client, upload ONLY the theme folder to your “wp-content/themes” folder.
6. Login to your WordPress admin panel and activate the theme.Optional: If you do not wish to manually upload the theme only folder to your “themes” folder, there is an option. You can zip up the theme folder (remember, ONLY the theme folder) and upload it via the WordPress themes admin panel by selecting “add new” and clicking “upload”. That’s all there is to it, please be absolutely sure you are uploading only the theme folder when trying to install a WordPress theme. If you have specific item questions or require technical assistance, we recommend you contact the author via their profile page.

I have fallen in love with their WordPress themes. While you can search on Themeforest by keyword (if someone referenced a theme they like), Category List (Browse just WordPress or JoomLa), Popular Files (those themes that have been downloaded the most), Featured Files (handpicked by Themeforest) or Top Authors (who make six figures building website themes!)

Adding or Removing Administrators from Your Company Page

How do I add or remove other administrators from my Company Page?
You must be a Company Page administrator in order to add other administrators.

I’ve been working with Jen Levenson of Jen’s List and Linda Perry of Peachhead for a LONG time. I discovered how to market to mom’s groups while promoting Storyopolis’ mommy & me reading time with guest & celebrity authors to preschool and elementary school kids. That grew into a partnership with the Screen Actors Guild Foundation BookPALS program and many more relationships.

If there is one thing I’ve learned over the years, one must think out of the box of traditional advertising in order to get in front of key decision makers.

Between a combination of these advertising vehicles for BLAST EMAIL and Facebook advertising to geo-socially target city specific moms… your business development grassroots marketing plan will be one step closer to success.

StatCounter Installation with WordPress.

StatCounter is a free web traffic analysis service, which provides summary stats on all your traffic and a detailed analysis of your last 500 page views. This limit can be increased by subscribing to their paid service.

To activate the StatCounter service for your WordPress site:

• STEP ONE: Sign Up with StatCounter or add a new project to your existing account
• STEP TWO: The installation process will detect your WordPress installation and provide you with your Project ID and Security Code. The installation instructions are also available at http://statcounter.com/wordpress.org/
• STEP THREE: Install the above PLUG-IN in WordPress or via FTP.
• STEP FOUR: Go to PLUGINS and you’ll see “Statcounter Admin” section. Plugin in Project ID, Security Code, confirm position as FOOTER (highly recommended to not conflict with Javascripts in your header) and I always check off Force Invisibility! Then you’re tracking.

StatCounter Code for Default Guide

These instructions assume that you are installing StatCounter on a standard, directly edited website (i.e. that you access and edit the raw code of the site).

Fast, Responsive, Quick loading Service

StatCounter was born out of the frustration of Founder and CEO, Aodhán Cullen from using a counter service that was loading slower and slower every single day. This slowed down his personal and business websites, which needed to load quickly to keep his visitors happy. Aodhan was sure that there were many webmasters, bloggers, marketers and other website owners with similar frustrations – wanting a fast loading service that wouldn’t slow down their website.

How it Works

You could be viewing in-depth webstats and a real-time analysis of the visitors to your website in the next few minutes! Remember, it’s free. What could be better than that!?

• Sign up for the StatCounter service and we’ll give you a tiny piece of HTML and Javascript code to insert into your webpage.
• When a visitor visits your webpage with the installed HTML and Javascript code, their anonymous details are sent to StatCounter to be recorded. Their details are gathered either from the counter the visitor loads from StatCounter, or an invisible image depending on your settings. This action takes place instantaneously and the user is completely oblivious and unaffected by it. StatCounter has invested a great deal of time and money to ensure that this load time is instant. The load time experienced by your visitor is monitored daily and we are continually adding more dedicated servers as we grow to ensure instantaneous responses.
  StatCounter.com respects your privacy, and the privacy of your visitors. 
• The data we collect is then processed and analysed by us and stored in our database servers.
• This is the fun bit! You can then log into your account anytime night or day to monitor and view your visitors and stats in real-time!

Now the only thing to do is to register your very own free account and start tracking your visitors within the next few minutes!

Marketing Intelligence – Things I look at daily!

By looking at your Statcounter or Google Analytics account you can see who is coming to your site and track if your advertising is leading folks to you successfully.

• Summary  - Check out the OVERVIEW of your website’s statistics includes VISITORS by Date - UNIQUE vs RETURNING
• Unique Visits = when someone comes to your site from a different computer (if they are on the site for a few minutes they are only counted once!)
• Returning Visits = those people that come back to check your site AGAIN
• Length of Visit or Visit Length = how long were folks on your site? What was the bounce rate? Did they leave immediately after 10-20 seconds or did they spend 1-2 minutes on the site reading? etc.
• Key Words = words that they searched in Google or Bing that ultimately lead them to YOUR website
• Recent Visitor Activity – Can see the user IP address, what city they are in, what “referring URL” brought them to the site, what entry page they landed on, what pages they searched, page they exited from, etc.
• Referring URL = Key to know what people are searching. See if your SEO is working. See if Social Media is referring tracking, etc.
• Country/State/City/ISP or Location = Get into the DNA of your actual client would be my goal. Let’s try to find figure out what your top ten states are for traffic or top ten cities.
• Popular Pages = these help dictate which pages of your website need focus and where current leads are! Key is to magnify the conversions by honing in on good content.

Features

StatCounter is packed full of useful and powerful tools to help you make better decisions about your website. A list of many of our features is below – just click on a feature for more detail (and check out the Live Demo for a hands-on look!).

Remember, unless otherwise stated, all these features are part of our free service!

• Log-Size

  StatCounter offers 2 levels of analysis – simple summary statistics for all your pageloads, unique, returning and first-time visitors, and highly detailed analysis of a smaller number of your latest pageloads. This highly detailed analysis is limited to a smaller number of pageloads because it is highly resource intensive. Your log-size determines how many of your last pageloads are included in this detailed analysis. The free service offers a log-size of 500 – if you require more, upgrades are available (see the pricing page for more details).

• Invisible Counter Option

  StatCounter allows all users to install an invisible counter on their site. This is important if you wish to include StatCounter code on your site without it interrupting the design of your site.

• Configurable Counter

  If you wish to have a visible counter on your site, we offer a number of ways to customise its look to best suit your site’s design. You can set the font size and color, the background color, and whether to display pageloads or unique visits. A visible counter will allow visitors to your site view your total pageloads or unique visits to date.

• Configurable Summary Stats

  These stats are designed to show at a glance how many pageloads, unique visits, returning visits and first time visits your site has received to date. They can be configured to display data of specific interest in a number of different ways. You can:

  • display summary stats per day, week, month, quarter or year
  • display summary stats for a specific date range or period
  • display summary stats using bar graphs or area graphs
  • toggle on and off pageloads/unique/returning/first-time data

  So, for example, you can choose to view only pageloads for the period 13 Jan 2005 to 26 March 2005, or view pageloads, unique visits and returning visits for the Last 8 Weeks – virtually any configuration is possible. You can also ‘save’ your favourite configuration so that it automatically displays every time you login. Try out our summary stats using the demo here – we’re sure you’ll like them!

• Magnify User

  While browsing recent visitors, you can use the magnify tool, you can ‘zoom in’ on individual visitors:

  You’ll be presented with a plethora of information such as where they are from, their system settings, what link referred them to your site and their navigation path through your site:

  This kind of valuable detail is available to you as soon as you register a StatCounter account – or you can try out the demo here and have a look!

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Drill Down

  Drill Down is a very powerful tool, and one of the most advanced features StatCounter offers. It allows you to drill down on your stats and view visitors relating to them – because you can drill down on many of the stats StatCounter offers, it’s difficult to provide a comprehensive example, but here’s one way in which this can be used:

  If you go to Keyword Analysis for example, you’ll be presented with something like the following:

  We’ve marked the entry for the keyword ‘magic line decorating tips’ – by clicking the page magnifying glass you drill down on that keyword to show all visitors who used that keyword in a search engine to find your site:

  And, of course, you can then click on the Magnify User icon to get a detailed report on the user and their navigation path through your site!

  This is just the tip of the iceberg. You can drill down on many stats, including Popular Pages, Referring Links, Entry and Exit pages and so on. For example, you could drill down on a page of particular interest – like a checkout page – and see the visitors who loaded that page, and subsequently magnify them to see how they got there. This kind of information is invaluable for optimising your most important pages and driving traffic to them – a combination of the drill down and magnify tools is the wise webmaster’s most potent ally!

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Popular Pages

  This tool allows you to see the pages of your site ranked by popularity. This information is important to allow you to identify the most heavily visited pages, and optimise them for maximum impact. It can also help you discover potentially important pages which are getting overlooked – this could indicate poor navigation structure or linking to that page. Of course, you can drill down on your Popular Pages to see which visitors loaded them, and magnify those visitors for more detail.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Entry Pages

  An entry page is the first page a visitor arrives at when they visit your site. There are often a lot more of these than just your homepage! It’s important that the first page a visitor loads on your site makes a good impression, and this tool can help you identify which pages are the most commonly used entry pages. It can also highlight pages you did not expect to be entry pages, which you can subsequently optimise to keep a visitor on your site and drive them to your key pages. You can also drill down on your entry pages to show the visitors who entered on them, and magnify those users to find out how they got there.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Exit Pages

  Opposite to the entry pages, are exit pages – pages your visitors use to leave your site. No webmaster needs to be told the importance of knowing where their visitors are abandoning their site! This tool shows you the most common Exit Pages, allowing you to optimise those pages to keep visitors on your site.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Came From

  This is one of the most important stats for any webmaster. This tool allows you to see how your visitors are finding your site, and where they are coming from. This can help you identify, for example, links on other sites that are working and those that aren’t, and help you trace where people are referring to your website.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Keyword Analysis

  Traffic from search engines is the lifeblood of most websites, and many webmasters are familiar with the importance of ranking high in search engines for keywords relating to their site. This tool allows you to view the keywords used to reach your site, ranked by their popularity. This can help you identify keywords that are working, and those that aren’t, so that you can optimise accordingly. For example, if you know a particular keyword is generally very popular for your type of site, but StatCounter indicates that it ranks low among the keywords used to reach your site, then there is an opportunity there to optimise for that keyword and generate more traffic from it.

  You can also group keywords according to the search engine used, to focus in on results from specific engines.

  Of course, you can also drill down on a keyword to view specific visitors who used that keyword, and magnify them for more detail.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Recent Keyword Activity

  This tool features up-to-the-second reporting of keywords used to reach your site, the visitors who used them, and which search engine was used. The most recently used keywords appear toward the top. You can click the magnify button to view more detail on the visitor who used that keyword.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Search Engine Wars

  This tool allows you to see which search engines generate the most traffic for you. This can be useful in determining if your site is performing as well as it should be in specific engines, or if certain important engines are missing. For example, if Google made up only a small percentage of search engine traffic to your site, it’s a good bet there’s room for improvement for your site on Google!

  You can also drill down on a specific search engine to view individual visitors that came from that search engine – and of course, you can magnify those visitors for more detail.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Visitor Paths

  This tool shows you recent visitors to your site, and the navigation path they took through your site. You can use this to identify common visitor behaviour, or unusual navigation paths that may indicate a problem with your site.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Visit Length

  This tool shows you how long your visitors are spending on your site – find out what percentage of your visitors stay for various periods of time. This stat is important, as it can help you determine how much ‘pull’ your website has for visitors – if your visit length is typically low, you may wish to find improved ways to keep your visitors on your site for longer.

  You can drill down on specific visit lengths to view those visitors who stayed for different periods of time – drilling down on short visit lengths and magnifying those visitors will show their navigation path, which may help identify why they only stayed a short time.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Returning Visits

  Every website ideally would like their visitors to come back again and again – this tool identifies what percentage of your visitors are returning (and how many times they’ve returned), and how many are visiting for the first time. If a very low percentage of your traffic is from returning visits it may be useful to identify ways to encourage repeat visits and loyalty from your users.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Recent Pageload Activity

  This tool shows you the latest, up-to-the-second pageloads on your website. It displays the most recent pageloads, some details about the visitor that made them, and allows you to magnify for even more detail on that visitor.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Recent Visitor Activity

  This tool is similar to Recent Pageload Activity, but instead of displaying recent pageloads, it displays your latest visitors, who you can subsequently magnify for more detail.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Country/State/City Stats

  These stats allow you to identify the geographical location of visitors to your site. Asides from the fun of seeing all the different places your visitors come from, this tool can be useful in identifying if you need to be catering more toward international visitors. For example, if a large number of visitors are coming from another country, it may be worth investigating translated versions of your site, or whether you should accepting that country’s currency (if you’re an eCommerce website).You can also view the State or Regions of your visitors, and the cities they come from.

  Of course, you can also drill down on countries, states and cities to show and magnify individual visitors from those places.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Recent Visitor Google Map

  The recent visitors to your website are plotted as markers on a Google map. This gives instant visual feedback about the location of your visitors worldwide. Each marker is expandable to give more information about when and how that particular visitor found your website, what webpages they navigated through and how long they spent on the website. The ability to easily zoom in and out on the marker is also available.

  Click here for a Live Demo of the Recent Visitor Google Map!

   

• ISP Stats

  This tool shows you the ISPs used by your visitors, ranked by popularity. You can drill down on an ISP and show visitors who use that ISP.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Browser Stats

  This is an important tool that lets you see which browsers your visitors use to view your site, and which are most popular. Your site may look great in one browser, but does it look good in the browsers used most frequently by your visitors? See which ones you should be checking with this tool.

  You can also expand a particular browser to see which versions of the browser are most popular:

  As always, you can drill down on specific browsers for more detail on the visitors who use them.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• O.S. Stats

  This tool shows you which operating systems your visitors use, and ranks them according to popularity. This tool may be useful in determining the technical background of your audience by the types of operating system they use.

  You can also drill down on an operating system to view specific visitors who use it.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Resolution Stats

  This tool identifies the display resolutions used by your visitors ranked by popularity. This can be very useful in ensuring your site looks its best for the majority of your users. For example, if most of your visitors are using 800×600 and your site is optimised for a 1280×720, it may make sense to revise your site’s design to accommodate the majority of your users on the lower resolution!

  Furthermore, you can drill down on specific resolutions to see and magnify indivdual visitors using those resolutions.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• JavaScript Stats

  This tool identifies the percentage of your visitors that have JavaScript enabled in their browsers. JavaScript can be embedded in webpages to introduce dynamic content, but if some of your users do not have JavaScript enabled, it may be worthwhile ensuring your site is still accessible to them.

  Click here for a Live Demo!

   

• Email Reports

  Want to have summaries of your stats sent to your email account? We can send email reports every week and every month featuring a summary of your pageloads, unique, returning and first time visitor stats. You can have your report sent to multiple users on your account, or CCed to other email addresses.

  Upgraded members can also receive daily email reports featuring a summary of pageloads, unique, returning and first time visits for the previous day, as well as summarised Keyword and Came From stats.

  To set up an email report; login to your account. Click the  icon beside your project. Click “Add New Report” and fill in the form.

• Multiple Site Management

  StatCounter offers the ability to manage multiple websites from one account – no need to sign up for different accounts for different websites! Just create new projects for each of your sites, and you can manage your stats for them all from one account.

  To use this feature login to your StatCounter account. Click “Add Project” above your current project(s) and follow the wizard as before. Do not register a new account!

• User Access Management

  User Access Management allows you to provide access to your account for multiple other users. You can limit access to allow additional users to only view statistics for your projects, or only specific projects.

  To use this feature. Login to your account. Click the lock icon  beside your project name. Tick or untick the users you want to have access to this project. To add more users click “Users” in the top navigation bar.

• Public Stats

  Public stats allows you to show your website stats to the whole world, unlike User Access Management which gives you a specific username and password to allow one individual to see your stats.

  To enable/disable public stats. Login to your account. Click the lock icon beside your project name. Tick or untick the box to “Enable public stats”. The link provided

  http://statcounter.com/project/standard/stats.php?project_id=XXXXXX&guest=1

  is your public stats link. You can link to specific stats such as the “Came From” by changing the link slightly to

  http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard/camefrom.php?project_id=XXXXXX&guest=1

• Blocking Cookie

  A blocking cookie is a cookie that’s stored in your own browser to prevent your own visits to your websites from being logged by StatCounter – this ensures that your sites’ stats are not skewed by your own visits. This can be set and unset at will.

  To use this feature. Login to your account. Click the “Blocking Cookie” link above your list of projects. Click the button to block or unblock your visits frombeing recorded.

• HTTPS Tracking [Upgraded Members Only]

  If you run a secure site using a secure sockets layer (SSL) your https traffic will only be recorded if you have an upgraded account.

• Custom Branding Logo [Upgraded Members Only]

  Upgraded members have the option to disable the banner ads on the StatCounter, and also to replace them with their own custom banner. So, for example, if a number of people who work for your site have access to your StatCounter account, you might want to put your own logo in place of the banners.

Seeking impact, Jewish funders convene in L.A.

BY JONAH LOWENFELD

“Philanthropy is what you’ll be remembered for,” Jewish Funders Network (JFN) President Andrés Spokoiny told the 400 attendees at the Beverly Hilton on March 18, the first full day of the group’s annual conference. “Philanthropy is your legacy.”

What the legacies of Jewish funders in the early 21^st century will be may not become clear for a generation, but at JFN, philanthropists, scholars, Jewish community professionals and others all engaged with questions about what causes to support and how to best ensure that charitable dollars are being deployed strategically, effectively and sustainably in the long term.

In organized sessions and impromptu conversations, executives working for some of the world’s wealthiest Jewish philanthropists, as well as some Jews just beginning their philanthropic journeys, focused on a diverse range of challenges and specific causes, including education, Israel advocacy, crisis management and the arts.

The separate conversations could be seen as part of a broader discussion about what, collectively, Jews should fund. But the decisions that funders ultimately make are often undertaken alone.

“We have deconstructed the infrastructure systems of the Jewish community,” said Jeffrey R. Solomon, president of Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, during a session dedicated to the not-always-collaborative interactions between local and national funders. “There are no wholesalers. We are all retailers, and that’s not the most efficient way to operate.”

The charity Solomon oversees is well on the way to completing a spend-down of its assets by 2016; another panelist in the room, Yossi Prager, is executive director of Avi Chai Foundation North America, which will spend its last dollars in 2020.

Prager was acutely aware of the impact the disappearance of Avi Chai will have on the world of Jewish education, particularly on local funders who will almost certainly be approached by organizations that had previously depended upon national support for their operations.

“I’m completely sensitive to the local San Francisco funder who says [to a national funder], ‘You came in, you took a little local organization, you made it a big organization, and now you want to leave it in our lap,’” Prager said.

This year’s JFN conference highlighted work being done to advance social change on the grassroots level.

Thirty-two participants joined Rabbi Sharon Brous ok IKAR on a bus tour on Monday to visit social action projects around Los Angeles. Tuesday’s closing plenary session featured a presentation by James K. Cummings, board chair of the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and the organization’s president, Simon Greer, about their recent experience of the “Food Stamp Challenge,” by which individuals attempt to feed themselves for a full week on the minimal allotment given to those on nutritional assistance programs (just under $37 in New York; just under $35 in California).

The Cummings Foundation also announced the creation of a new $1 million matching fund for organizations involved in Jewish social justice efforts.

The reasons the funders attend JFN’s conference are as diverse as they are.

Ami Aronson came to JFN from Washington, D.C., where she serves as the managing director of theBernstein Family Foundation. Aronson’s grandfather — financier and real estate investor Leo M. Bernstein — died in 2008, at 93; the family foundation made $330,000 in grants in 2011 to organizations focused on Jewish causes, democracy and the arts.

“What JFN does is it helps us celebrate and strengthen our assets as Jewish philanthropists,” Aronson said.

E. Randol Schoenberg, an attorney who has focused his philanthropic energies serving as president of the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust, said he couldn’t help but think that his personal charity of choice – a museum whose approximately 30,000 annual visitors are predominantly non-Jews – was something of an outlier at JFN 2013. Much of what he heard was focused on charities that serve mostly Jewish people.

“It’s interesting,” Schoenberg said. “What attracts attention and what’s reaching a lot of people are different things.”

For the Jewish funders who came to Los Angeles from out of town, the plenary session on Monday morning offered a taste of what Jewish life in this sprawling city can offer. Jay Sanderson, president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, described his city as one to which Jews came “to escape Jewish institutions, and to build new Jewish institutions.” The speakers who followed him continued in that vein.

Then Joshua Avedon, co-founder and COO of Jumpstart, a think-tank and incubator dedicated to fostering Jewish innovation, moderated a conversation with philanthropist Peter Lowy, who holds leadership positions at a number of L.A. nonprofits, including serving as chairman of TRIBE Media Corp., parent company of the Jewish Journal. Jill Soloway, a TV and film writer, director and producer, who founded the innovative and itinerant Jewish community East Side Jews, was also on the panel.

Lowy and Soloway both talked about the importance of innovation and reinvention in attracting Jews to Jewish events and bringing the disaffected into Jewish institutions in L.A.

As an Australian, Lowy, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Westfield Group, said he tends to “hate” the status quo and authority, “even,” he noted, “when I’m the status quo and I’m the authority.”

Soloway, meanwhile, recognized that East Side Jews, which has organized events in multiple spaces around the region, is now playing against type by making its home the Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center.

“The building is there, the people are there,” Soloway said. “How do we put them back together?”

Rabbi David Wolpe, who addressed the conference-goers at lunchtime, made a case for funding local synagogues and Jewish schools — the “unexciting places” that have kept Jewish communities vibrant for generations.

“When I go out and push my synagogue,” Wolpe, who is spiritual leader of Sinai Temple in West L.A., said, “I talk about Friday Night Life and the special bar mitzvahs and all the innovative programs. But they’re actually not what I’m proudest of.

“What I’m proudest of,” he continued, “is the morning minyan and the Shabbos service and the shivacommittee, and the fact that we have a Bikur Cholim committee that goes and visits people in the hospital – in other words, all the things that institutions do day after day after day that are the lifeblood of a real people.”

GoDaddy – Working with Preview DNS

Date Submitted: 10-29-2012

Preview DNS lets you test your website prior to launch to ensure it displays and behaves properly on GoDaddy’s hosting servers before modifying your domain’s DNS record. This is beneficial when you are setting up a website for a domain that is currently active, either in your account or with another hosting provider.

When you enable Preview DNS, a subdomain is created on our server that temporarily houses your website. If Preview DNS is applied to www.coolexample.com, the preview URL is www.coolexample.com.previewdns.com.

NOTE: If you have multiple domains on your hosting account, preview them using www.coolexample.com.previewdns.com/path where path is the folder for your other domain.

Any internal links in the code are translated to point to the Preview DNS site. This process ensures that all paths can be tested appropriately prior to pointing your DNS record to our hosting servers.

NOTE: Some features such as Flash® and JavaScript do not work with Preview DNS.

To Enable Preview DNS or Preview Your Site

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Click Web Hosting.
3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
4. In the Server Details section, click Show details
5. Click Preview to display your primary domain’s DNS information.
6. If Preview DNS is not already enabled for your account, click Enable. If it has expired, click Renew.
7. If Preview DNS is enabled, click Preview.

NOTE: Preview DNS expires after 14 days but may be reactivated at any time by repeating these steps.

To Make Your Site Live

In the Server Details section, click Preview, and then click Make this site live.

NOTE: If your domain’s DNS record is not under our control, you will not see the Make this site live button. You must manually update your A record with your hosting account’s IP address for your site to publish to the Web.

The best way for me to demonstrate my success in achieving results is to have you search literally in Google, Bing or Yahoo any of the below mentioned key words. Strength depends on the zip code and state, but generally speaking I have been on 1st page guaranteed for ANY of these words, if not top position! Please feel free to ping me or email me if that’s not the case in your area! (Within a week of getting your challenge, we’ll hopefully move up!).

FEDERATION CASH GRANTS

http://www.jewishla.org/pages/federal-cash-grants As part of its response to the economic recession, The Jewish Federation created an Emergency Cash Grants Program to provide grants to Jewish families in Los Angeles in urgent need of financial support. Grant funding is being provided via Jewish program partners to Jewish individuals and families in financial need who as a result of changed circumstances due to the economy face an urgent crisis. If you are in need of a grant, please contact one of the organizations listed below who will guide you through this process (you cannot apply to the Federation directly for this grant). This program has been seeded with money from the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles and the Federation. Grant applicants should contact: JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE’S CENTRAL ACCESS 1-877-275-4537 (which can also provide resources, referrals and guidance on financial assistance) In addition, the following organizations accept applicants who are current or potential clients only:

• Beit T’Shuvah
• Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters LA

Small Grants + Collaborative Programs = Impact: NEI

Jan 29, 2013 | Esther Kustanowitz, Program Coordinator, NEI http://www.jewishla.org/blog/entry/small-grants-collaborative-programs-impact-nei-microgrants/ When you first hear the name “NextGen Engagement Initiative” you might assume that this program is like many other community programs designed to engage Jewish young adults – involving massive parties, or gatherings around Jewish food, holidays and culture. But NEI is something different. It operates on a more “micro” level, strengthening a population that’s classically underserved – Jewish professionals who are working in smaller community organizations to engage L.A. Jews in their 20s and 30s. Through NEI, a partnership between The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles through their Cutting Edge grants program, our Federation convenes a network that meets regularly – in-person and virtually – for peer support, expert guidance and professional development. Part of this small-but-mighty program is the NEI Microgrants initiative. Running since 2009, NEI Microgrants have provided small grants ($1-5K) for programs ranging from Chanukah parties to a food justice lecture series. Only NEI network members in-good-standing are permitted to apply, and programs must represent collaborations or partnerships between two or more NEI network organizations. (Once that requirement is met, the program’s partners may, and are encouraged to, collaborate with organizations outside the network.) NEI Microgrants are sponsoring the following programs in 2013:

• Artists’ Community Retreat (LimmudLA, partnering with Six Points Fellowship, East Side Jews, Silverlake Independent JCC, NuArt, JQ International and Reboot) – A retreat on the East Side of Los Angeles to gather those who are involved in Jewish arts and culture work for networking and focused discussion. (held January 2013)
• SEDER Art Microgrant Initiative (NuArt, Federation’s Birthright Israel Experience, and others TBD) – A meal-based initiative committed to creating a path for rethinking how contemporary Jewish art and culture is financed and experienced communally. Participants come for a meal and presentations by Jewish artists, vote on their favorites, and the winning artist receives a microgrant of funds generated by the admission price.
• Shul Crawl (Silverlake Independent JCC/East Side Jews and 9 local synagogues) – A series of organized outings to different area synagogues. Participants will also be provided with a specially-designed program packet of materials about Jewish customs.
• LGBT and Ally Birthright Trip, Summer 2013 (JQ International and Birthright Israel) – The first Federation-sponsored Birthright Israel trip designed for GLBTQ and allies. This grant supports targeted marketing and student internships to recruit for and to promote the trip.
• Jewish Film Festival (Sinai Temple-ATID and American Friends of Tel Aviv University) – Programming at the Jewish Film Festival targeting young adults, including a special workshop with invited industry speakers.

The message of the NEI Microgrants initiative, as well as the NEI network as a whole, is that we are stronger together than we are independently, and that each individual in this crowd of professionals has wisdom and experience to share that can strengthen individual and collective efforts and help us work through our challenges. By knowing each others’ faces, projects and passions, we are inspired to collaborate and feel the support of community. NEI is part of The Jewish Federation’s commitment to engaging young adults in ways that are relevant, innovative and meaningful.  If you are a Jewish professional whose work centers on 20s and 30s engagement in Los Angeles and would like to learn more about NEI, contact NEI@JewishLA.org. ######

Overview

Grantmaking is the heart of what we do. For nearly 60 years The Foundation and its donors have provided grants to programs and institutions, both Jewish and in the community at large, locally and around the world. In spite of difficult economic conditions, The Foundation and its donors distributed $54 million in grants in 2011.

Grantmaking activities include:

Donor Recommended Grants

When donors establish a Family Support Organization or Donor Advised Fund at The Foundation, they are able to recommend grants directly to the organizations and programs they wish to support. Donors can recommend grants to virtually any nonprofit organization. They may also view a list of programs we’ve supported in the past.

Community Grants

The Foundation offers various types of competitive grants to nonprofit organizations on both an annual and biennial cycle. Social entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations interested in applying are asked to participate in a rigorous application process. Grantseekers will find detailed information and guidelines in each of these grant categories Cutting Edge Grants,General Community Grants, Israel Grants and Capital Grants. Additionally, The Foundation provides a number of Special Grants each year. These grants enable The Foundation to support important community projects and fulfill endowment restrictions. ######

Foundation Strategy

Primary Strategic Focus The Jim Joseph Foundation’s strategic grantmaking is based on the following interests and beliefs:

• Strong support for excellence in the education of Jewish youth and young adults in the United States throughout critical stages of their development.
• Highly qualified Jewish educators are essential to the success of most Jewish learning experiences.
• A broad definition of educators, including day and congregational school teachers and heads of school; camp counselors and directors; pre-school teachers; family educators; parents; rabbis; youth group workers, among others.
• Increasing the number of exceptionally well trained, Jewishly literate educators who are committed to continuous learning and dedicated to the profession.
• The importance of building upon the strength of existing programs of education, in addition to encouraging innovative approaches to Jewish learning.
• Supporting efforts that develop professional, peer, and youth leadership.

The Foundation focused on ages 13 – 23 in its initial years of grantmaking, concentrating on the greater metropolitan areas of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and Washington D.C. It has since expanded its grantmaking interests to organizations supporting so-called “emerging adults,” ages 23-30. While focusing on national initiatives, the Foundation continues to look especially carefully at funding opportunities in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Related Strategic Focus The balance of approximately 40% of the Foundation’s annual grantmaking for Jewish learning is not limited to, but may include:

• Grants made in partnership with other funders enabling the Foundation to help realize its vision through leveraging its resources.
• Grants as investments in research and development that will inform the Foundation’s ongoing philanthropic practice and contribute to learning in the field.
• Grants for seed funding of novel, innovative projects furthering the Foundation’s mission.

The Jim Joseph Foundation invests in promising Jewish education grant initiatives. We partner with effective organizations that seek to inspire young people to discover the joy of living vibrant Jewish lives. ######

COLLEGE CAMPUS STUDENT ENGAGEMENT GRANTS

Dec 04, 2012 | David Harris, Campus Activities Coordinator http://www.jewishla.org/blog/entry/college-campus-student-engagement-grants-for-2012-2013/ College campuses are places of great opportunity for young Jews, but also present substantial challenges to Jewish identity and engagement. Our College Campus Activities Committee, a group of committed lay leaders from The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, is charged with examining how Jewish students are impacted by Jewish life on campus. For the last two years, our College Campus Activities Committee, Chaired by Virginia Maas, collaborated with Federation professionals to develop a Student Engagement Grant initiative designed to support individuals or organizations committed to working to strengthen Jewish campus life. During the grant cycle, the committee focused on drawing applications from organizations in which our Federation did not have previous campus-based relationships, as well as renewing grants from past recipients – a strategy which yielded a batch of 46 proposals. After much consideration, we made some difficult decisions and funded 15 programs for 2012-2013 –representing four new organizations, six returning organizations and nine campuses.

We are proud to announce the 2012-2013 Grantees*:

• Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity – CEO Roundtable
• Chabad at USC – Birthright Follow-up Initiative
• Hillel 818 – F.A.C.E. Internship, L’chaim Tovim
• Hillel at UCSB – LEAP Student Leadership Development
• Loyola Marymount Hillel –Student Engagement Fellows
• Fowler Museum at UCLA – Lights and Shadows exhibition
• UCLA Center for Jewish Studies – Service Learning Course in Applied Jewish Studies
• Hillel at Santa Monica College – Students Making Change Hillel Internship
• Hillel at UCLA – Social Justice Initiative 2012-13, Jewish Medical Student Network
• USC Hillel – Campus Entrepreneurs Initiative, Spirituality/Sexuality Retreat and Follow-up Programs, and African-American Jewish Engagement Initiative
• Tzofim (Israel Scouts)/JAFI – Mishelanu

* Some organizations had multiple programs funded by our committee The Jewish professionals on college campuses face many challenges in their work. By providing these programming grants to campus professionals, we hope to expand the reach and scope of the opportunities these organizations give to their students and communities. For more information on how our Federation supports Jewish life on campus, contact David Harris, Campus Activities Coordinator, at DHarris@JewishLA.org, or click here to view our available campus activites.

Welcome to WordPress 3.5.1

What’s NewCreditsFreedoms

New Media Manager

Beautiful Interface

Adding media has been streamlined with an all-new experience, making it a breeze to upload files and place them into your posts.

Picturesque Galleries

Creating image galleries is faster with drag and drop reordering, inline caption editing, and simplified controls for layout.

New Default Theme

Introducing Twenty Twelve

The newest default theme for WordPress is simple, flexible, and elegant.

What makes it really shine are the design details, like the gorgeous Open Sans typeface and a fully responsive design that looks great on any device.

Naturally, Twenty Twelve supports all the theme features you’ve come to know and love, but it is also designed to be as great for a website as it is for a blog.

Retina Ready

So Sharp You Can’t See the Pixels

The WordPress dashboard now looks beautiful on high-resolution screens like those found on the iPad, Kindle Fire HD, Nexus 10, and MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Icons and other visual elements are crystal clear and full of detail.

Smoother Experience

Better Accessibility

WordPress supports more usage modes than ever before. Screenreaders, touch devices, and mouseless workflows all have improved ease of use and accessibility.

More Polish

A number of screens and controls have been refined. For example, a new color picker makes it easier for you to choose that perfect shade of blue.

As I discovered today, there is a way!

Downgrade to an older version is an easy task, and it’s very similar to upgrading WordPress to a newer version.

Step One: BACK UP YOUR DATA

As ALWAYS, make a full back-up of your site by copying your entire WordPress Folder and Database.
* You need to have access to your site control panel using ftp program such as Transmit, CuteFTP or Filezilla to
make a copy of all WordPress platform files. These are located in the root directory of your host or the root
directory of the location you installed WordPress.
* Delete wp-admin and wp-includes folder which are located in your default host directory.

Step Two: GET ARCHIVE OF WORDPRESS VERSION

 
Get and download an archive / older version of WordPress from wordpress.org release-archive located here:
http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

Step Three: OVERWRITE WORDPRESS FILES (all but WP-CONTENT FOLDER)

Unzip your desired version of WordPress and overwrite all files EXCEPT WP-content folder (this is where all your THEME, images, pages of your site come from!) to your website by using the same FTP program. WP-Content is where all your theme files and images are and you don’t want to mess with that or you WILL lose you website. All the rest of the files are simply the shell of WordPress programming.

Step Four: LOG IN TO WORDPRESS TO SEE

Log into your site’s WordPress Dashboard www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Go to your site admin area except this time you won’t see WordPress admin login page.
Instead you will notice a message that say WordPress Database needs to upgraded current
WordPress to a new one!! Do not worry, just click OK and you will then see the admin login box.
Login to admin area and HAVE FUN!

Everything will be fine and you can enjoy an old WordPress installation! Good as new (well as it was!)!!!

SPECIAL NOTES BEFORE YOU DO:

If you have special plugins that have “themed” your WP-ADMIN, make sure you back those up as well BEFORE so that you can
apply those design / settings after! When you replace WordPress files you’ll wipe out that as well.

Just take your time, carefully think about your website assets and plan it out.
