#import existing website into wordpress

[copperbadge]

Howdy! I am considering submitting manuscripts I've written to a publisher or possibly self publishing. The publisher states on their website that authors must maintain an active social media presence. I'm not normally a social media type, Tumblr is my only one. What would you reccommend for such? Is it worth it to pay someone to make a website for me? Thanks and many virtual kisses for Dot and Deebs!

Honestly, I haven't submitted to a publisher since before a lot of modern social media existed. :D

It is my understanding, but this is secondhand information, that publishers want you to have either a twitter or a tiktok, preferably both, where you're frequently active and have a high follower count, because they want you to be able to publicize your book on it. One of many reasons I don't even consider trad publishing anymore is that I don't want to spend a significant chunk of my time filming videos for the sole purpose of hawking my books.

Now, as I said, that's an inference I've drawn; you may want to speak to someone who has been trad published recently to get the inside scoop (readers if you work in publishing or have been published recently, feel free to add commentary; remember to comment or reblogs, as I don't repost asks sent in response to other asks). I do have an author website but I built my own; I don't know what the going rate is for paying someone to build one these days but most website platforms are pretty intuitive to use -- I built mine on Wordpress and I'm building a new one on Wix currently, and at this point both are very drag-and-drop oriented. I do think a website is a good thing for an author to have, but I wouldn't pay someone to build one for you until you've taken a swing at DIY and decided it's not where you want to spend your time and energy.

In terms of self-publishing, the good news is that none of the rules apply; this is also the bad news. :D Because the thing about selfpub is that you either pay or DIY for...everything. It can be very inexpensive; when I publish a book the only direct monetary cost is what I pay for an ISBN and a proof copy of the book, which I will make back in the first 10 sales or so. However, I am "paying" in man hours in terms of typesetting, cover design, uploading the PDFs to lulu.com, proofing the initial copy, correcting the proof and reuploading (which usually involves further typesetting), and of course all the publicity -- website design and redesign, copywriting, tumblr posting. And while my profit per copy sold is well above what most authors with traditional publishers will make, that's because the publisher is doing a lot of the work for you. And, because I don't have an active twitter or tiktok or a publisher, my books are not very widely publicized. Undoubtedly I sell fewer copies than I would if I had a robust twitter following, but catch me touching that rancid wasteland without inch-thick gloves on.

So -- I think it's probably pretty important to understand that I have deliberately rejected trad publishing for good but not lucrative reasons, and I'm considered at best an iconoclast and more commonly a crank for having done so. If you can go the tradpub route, I would, but I also wouldn't put any money you're not prepared to write off as a loss into that pursuit. Definitely I would see if there's anyone in the industry you can reach out to who can answer these questions with a more thorough understanding of what publishers look for in an author and how to go about achieving that than I possess.

In any case, good luck! It's a journey regardless and I hope you enjoy your time on the path wherever you end up. And I'll give the cryptids a special cuddle for ya.

Do you have any tips or tutorial recommendations for making your own website?

I actually really do like the Wordpress client now I've gotten the hang of it!

I did tell 1000 of my subscribers to kill themselves in an email header by accident, and also battered those poor 1000 people with something like 100 emails in increasingly frantically apologised for errors over the course of the same three days, but that was before I really Got it.

With the above oopsies in mind, if you want to import previous newsletters or posts, for the love of God, do not import your existing newsletter subscribers until after all of your backposts have been imported across. That is the main lesson I have learned.

I had such a vision in mind of a triumphant surprise email going "Hey, look what I did! Surprise! Isn't it sexy?!" and instead everyone got 30 notifications about chapter updates from 2 years ago and an email that said "It's Your Responsibility to Kill Yourself" followed by multiple deranged apologies from me.

So. Don't do that.

Other than that, I'd actually wanted a proper website for quite a few years even before Patreon got so antsy with hiding my content - I tried to set one up a few years back with Wix, and I cannot recommend that less, it's a fucking awful site to use, and it's far less user intuitive than Wordpress.

Part of my issues with Wordpress were actually that a lot of website clients, unless you're building from scratch in HTML/CSS or another code, give you everything in Blocks, and because I remembered like 10 years ago where you didn't have to do that, and you mostly altered everything on the website with like, 10000 options tickboxes and sliders, I was like "wow this is awful". I will admit now, crotchety bastard that I am, that the Blocks system is better and more intuitive once you start to understand it. I just don't always do well thinking of things in three dimensions, so to speak, and I was shooting myself in the foot by going "WELL BACK IN MY DAY--"

Wix doesn't have a very good help section because they want you to talk to their people for help, but most sites for stuff like this do have really robust FAQ and help sections, and obviously, rely on those as much as possible.

At one point I was so upset with my inability to do something that Lorenzo literally came over and told me to leave the apartment (that was the day that I went to Pets at Home and spent a ridiculous amount of money on gifts for the cat), and while I was very grumpy about doing it at the time, taking breaks is crucial, especially if you get as frustrated as I do.

I realise that most of what I have said so far is niche tips for if you're stubborn and mentally ill, so in terms of actual website building, I would say it's important to have an idea of what you want the site to do.

Do you just want a landing page, so that if people search for your name or whatever, that this is the first result? That it links people to your books or your store, your socials? Do you want to have a gallery of work on display, or an archive of writing like I've made? Do you want people to be able to contact you, give tips?

I always wanted a robustly tagged archive with an in-depth tag page like the one I've set up now, and the goal for my Directory of Work on Medium and elsewhere was always that it would later be transferred to my website once it was built.

Then, I have an about page for people who are just curious about who I am and who I look like; commission info and information about booking me for events or inviting me to cons and such; the books I have for sale, publications I've been a part of, interviews and presentations on YouTube; my events calendar with conventions and such; the gallery where I'm showing off both art of my characters and where I'll later show art that I buy for my home and myself, such as the stuff framed in the stairwell or jewellery I buy from makers at markets and such; and then, of course, the subscriber benefits.

All of the above to go my goals which are, in order, to encourage people to read my work and make it easy for them to do so, to pay me money for my existing work or to offer me money for new work, and to show support for other events, artists, friends, and queer creators.

I would definitely advise thinking carefully about how visual or how word-based you want your site to be - I had to look for a recipe blog theme to find one that was stripped back in terms of images. Especially for adult websites, I'd be careful about payment providers and so forth.

Stripe is the default on the site, and I've been very careful about making sure none of my titles or descriptions that the Stripe client will see have words like erotica or adult in them - if someone from Stripe clicks through and sees the site, they might take issue with it, but that's another thing. I do get paid by Stripe through Medium, so I do already use them.

Most payment providers hate any kind of adult content, but are willing to give a tiny bit more wiggle room on erotica, or at least, they just don't notice it in the same way they do Real Porn, but there's nothing I can say other than "be careful and more importantly, be lucky" on that front.

Most of all, I'd say to try to have fun with it and try to enjoy the actual building process if you can - make something pretty and fun to navigate as much as you can, and if you can get some enjoyment out of it, your site users will as well.

information about this archival blog

Our imported WordPress version (link):

We have no DNI. But we ask you to respect the original poster's DNI if they have one or the post carries one. Just keep in mind that: reblog ≠ endorsement. Also: we usually don't queue hence spam reblog.

We mostly reblog stuff as an archive. We do reblog alterhuman flags, not just kin flags. But sometimes when I'm not sure it's an alterhuman term, I don't reblog it unless someone tags us. Hashtags aren't always clear as genders sometimes are there, and we don't reblog genders unless it's synonymous to alterhuman identity or has an alterhuman flag together. It's just because it's out of hand for me and I don't want to overload my fixation which is archiving such flags. But we wish we could archive all flags out there, but that's not possible as many posts are deleted, are on other websites, or are on blogs we are blocked.

We used to reblog joke flags, but they were less common. KFF flags are allowed as many legit and serious users find them useful, at the end of the day the flag is art too, and it's just illustrating a thing they experience anyways. And we don't need to be too rigid about these boxen. We don't always check if the user is in a bad-faith behavior/trolling, we believe people can change their mind. But we are not too liberally indiscriminate about it and won't reblog what is uselessly and insultingly degrading, for example, such as many "transids"/"RQ" labels, we won't entertain this shitshow or discourses around it.

About asks: no requests. We aren't good at advice, try checking other blogs if you want to help in self learning. Please no discourse unless it's questions about our posts, we can always revisit and delete or change our posts if we did something wrong. We usually just point out where the flags are if they exist or repost a flag if asked.

We wish we could tag posts individually and have our own tag system, but we're too busy. Use our blog however you want, we may help you navigate through our WordPress blog too if you want to search flags there, which works better than tumblr sometimes.

We have two mods, one is #a0 and the other #y8.

And keep in mind: just flags. Anything else would be choosingly exceptional.

Anyone out there have their own website and want to rec their host?

I'm looking for domain registration and managed hosting for a domain or three, good connection speed and bandwidth caps and such but no need for the leading edge. Preferably includes managed SSL (might as well join the 2020s I guess), database services (relational preferred but not required), and some kind of control panel interface (please don't make me relearn the command line), all preferably in the same package. Honestly everything should ideally be managed/hidden behind slick interfaces, so I can just click some buttons to upload my own content and then let everything else be taken care of by the professionals.

Don't care if it's Linux or Windows but it 100% must allow server-side scripting so I can toss up like a springboot site or something. (Nothing WordPress-only; I do not currently feel like learning that ecosystem.)

Very important that the domain registration piece be through a company where you can actually get your domain back from them relatively easily if you decide to move to somewhere else. I've heard horror stories.

Does not need to be free -- I actually specifically would like to pay professionals to do all the boring stuff for me -- but I'm hoping to stay under a couple hundred USD per year.

I am aware that GoDaddy exists, is very common, and will do the whole shebang, but I don't know if it's actually a good experience for a fairly technical but very lazy person. And I mean, I could google to see what else is out there these days, but [points at last three words of previous sentence], so! A post hurled into the Tumblr void it is. Hopefully it will not immediately land in one of the many dumpster infernos.

If you read any part of this post (even just this one sentence) then I hope your tomorrow will be unexpectedly wonderful.

In which Arilin says pointed things about open source, open data, and social media

N.B.: As I was writing this, an entirely different kerfluffle started about Meta, Facebook's parent company, working on their own ActivityPub-compatible microblogging service. While that may be a field of land mines topic worth writing about, it's a topic for a different day.

Cohost's recent financial update revealing they are running on fumes can't help but bring to my mind what I wrote back in December:

[Cohost is] still a centralized platform, and that represents a single point of failure. If Cohost takes off, it's going to require a lot more money to run than they have right now, and it's hard to know if "Cohost Plus" will be enough to offset those costs.

I have a few friends who are Cohost partisans. While its "cram posts into 40% of the browser window width" aesthetic is claws on a chalkboard to me, it's easy to see why people like the service. They have the nice things from Twitter and Tumblr, but without the ads and the NSFW policies and the right-wing trolls and the Elons. They don't have the annoying things from Mastodon---the nerdy fiddliness around "instances" endemic to any such service, and the prickly, change-resistant and mansplainy culture endemic to Mastodon in particular. They even have a manifesto! (Who doesn't like a good manifesto?) Unfortunately, what they don't have is a business model---and unlike the vast majority of Mastodon instances, they need one.

To the degree I've become a social media partisan, it's for Mastodon, despite its cultural and technical difficulties. I'm not going to beat the federation drum again, though---not directly. Instead, I'd like to discuss "silos": services whose purpose is to share user-generated content, from tweets to photos to furry porn, but that largely lock that data in.

Let's pick two extremes that aren't social media: the blogging engine WordPress, and the furry story/image archive site Fur Affinity.

WordPress itself is open source. You can put up your own WordPress site or use any number of existing commercial hosts if you like.

WordPress has export and import tools: when you change WordPress hosts, you can bring everything with you.

WordPress has open APIs: you can use a variety of other tools to make and manage your posts, not just WordPress's website.

Fur Affinity is not open source. If FA goes away, there won't be another FA, unless they transfer the assets to someone else.

You can't move from another archive site to FA or move from FA to another archive site without doing everything manually. You can't even export lists of your social graph to try to rebuild it on another site.

FA has no API, so there's no easy way for anyone else to build third-party tools to work with it.*

Cohost is, unfortunately, on the FA side of the equation. It has no official, complete API, no data export function, no nothing. If it implodes, it's taking your data down with it.

Mastodon, for all of its faults, is open-source software built on an open protocol. Anyone with sufficient know-how and resources can spin up a Mastodon (or Mastodon-compatible) server, and if you as a user need to move to a different instance for any reason, you can. And I know there are a lot of my readers who don't dig Mastodon ready to point out all the asterisks there, the sharp edges, the failures in practice. But if you as a user need to move to a different Cohost instance for any reason, there is only one asterisk there and the asterisk is "sorry, you're fucked".

I've often said that I'm more interested in open data than open source, and that's largely true: since I write nearly everything in plain text with Markdown, my writing won't be trapped in a proprietary format if the people who make my closed-source editors go under or otherwise stop supporting them. But, I'm not convinced that a server for a user-generated content site doesn't ultimately need both data and source to be open. A generation ago, folks abandoning LiveJournal who wanted to keep using an LJ-like system could migrate to Dreamwidth nearly effortlessly. Dreamwidth was a fork of LJ's open-source server, and LJ had a well-documented API for posting, reading, importing, and exporting.

To be clear, I hope Cohost pulls out of their current jam. They seem to have genuinely good motivations. But even the best of intentions can't guarantee…well, anything. Small community-driven sites have moderation faceplants all the damn time. And sites that get big enough that they can no longer be run as a hobby will need revenue. If they don't have a plan to get that revenue, they're going to be in trouble; if they do have a plan, they face the danger of enshittification. Declaring your for-profit company to be proudly anti-capitalist is not, in the final analysis, a solution to this dilemma.

And yet. I can't help but read that aspirational "against all things Silicon Valley" manifesto, look at the closed source, closed data, super-siloed service they actually built in practice, and wonder just how those two things can be reconciled. At the end of the day, there's little more authentically Silicon Valley than lock-in.

------

*I know you're thinking "what about PostyBirb"; as far as I know, PostyBirb is basically brute-forcing it by "web scraping". This works, but it's highly fragile; a relatively small change on FA's front end, even a purely aesthetic one, might break things until PostyBirb can figure out how to brute-force the new design.

Remade @jv 's post because it made every point that I wanted to share perfectly. He (completely understandably) turned off reblogs, but I wanted all the information out there in one place. (I didn't just screenshot it because I want this to be more easy to search for.)

The following text is from JV:

TLDR: most of the current staff is being moved to other automattic divisions and Tumblr will be run by an skeleton crew

Some clarity: Happiness -> Support T&S -> Trust & Safety Bumblr -> Product development, editorial, marketing etc.

The "reduction" don't affect Happiness or T&S because they weren't "Tumblr" to begin with, they are a different divisions within automattic that are cross-product (cover all the products from the company). So if automattic has (I have no idea of the real numbers numbers) 100 people working on T&S, maybe half of those were working on tumblr until now. But if tomorrow they decide to left only 10 of them working of tumblr, they don't need to move the other 40 anywhere: they are still in the same team, just looking at a different JIRA board every morning. Same with Happiness. So the fact that there are no changes in those divisions doesn't have to mean there won't be less people on them working on tumblr.

Technically, people are not being fired over this (though some of them had been, today), they will just be moved to other projects (WordPress, WooCom, Day One, etc).

The following excerpts are from @dualumina 's reblog:

For folks not incredibly tech/business savvy; this basically means the website will still exist, it will still be functional for the most part. However you may find that fun updates won't be as frequent, or full on stop occurring. Reports for harassment or bugs might be slow to reply, or you may receive no reply at all (from a human, automatic messages are still a thing) depending on the situation.

The wording states that the majority of the 139 staff in Bumblr will be moved to other projects. That means at max 69 people will stay while at least 70 will leave the project. That's at bare minimum cutting the team in half.

You should definitely save anything important just incase; less people means sometimes accidents will happen more frequently. Share your contact info with anyone you want to keep in contact with.

Prepare for the worst but hope for the best.

The Complete Guide to Building a Strong Online Presence for Your Business in 2025

In 2025, your online presence is your business card, storefront, and salesperson—all rolled into one. Whether you're a startup, a freelancer, or an established brand, people will Google you before they talk to you. If your digital presence isn’t strong, you’re losing out on leads, trust, and revenue.

This article will break down how to build a powerful online presence from scratch or elevate what you already have—with actionable, beginner-friendly tips and strategies that work.

1. Start With a Strong Brand Identity

Your brand is more than a logo—it’s how people perceive you.

A clear, consistent brand builds trust and recognition across every digital platform.

Key elements of your brand identity:

Logo

Color palette

Font styles

Brand voice (formal, friendly, witty, etc.)

Core values and mission

Tip: Use tools like Canva or Looka to create your visual identity, and write down your brand tone and messaging so it's consistent everywhere.

2. Build a Professional, SEO-Friendly Website

Your website is the foundation of your online presence. Social platforms can change or disappear—your website is your digital real estate.

Your site should be:

Fast-loading (under 3 seconds)

Mobile-optimized (more than 70% of users are on phones)

Easy to navigate

Clear about your offers/services

And most importantly—it must be optimized for SEO.

Basic SEO tips:

Use keywords in titles, meta descriptions, headers

Compress images

Add alt text

Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console

Tool suggestions:

WordPress + RankMath

Webflow (great design flexibility)

Hostinger or Bluehost for reliable hosting

👉 Don’t have a site yet? Get started at pradeepdigitalmarketing.com — we help you build SEO-optimized websites that drive results.

3. Claim and Optimize All Your Social Media Profiles

Even if you don’t plan to post every day, your business should exist everywhere—Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter (X), YouTube, and Pinterest depending on your niche.

Make sure each profile includes:

A clear description of what you do

Link to your website

Branded visuals (matching cover, logo, etc.)

Call-to-action (DM us, Visit site, Book now)

Tip: Use tools like Linktree or Beacons to create one link that includes all your contact points.

4. Google Business Profile for Local SEO

If you run a service-based or local business, a Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is critical.

When people search “Best [your service] near me,” your profile can pop up on Maps and search.

Make sure to:

Add accurate hours, location, phone number

Upload quality photos

Collect real client reviews

Post updates weekly

Tip: Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews. Google loves fresh, positive feedback.

5. Start Creating Valuable Content (Blog + Video + Social)

Content marketing builds trust and authority. It also helps you rank on Google and stay top-of-mind for potential clients.

Content types to focus on:

Blog posts: Optimize with keywords. Share tips, insights, FAQs.

Short-form videos: Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts are dominating.

Infographics and carousels: Especially good for LinkedIn and Instagram.

Start with a content calendar and post consistently—even once or twice a week is enough to build momentum.

Tip: Repurpose content. One blog can become 5 tweets, 1 LinkedIn post, and a carousel.

6. Focus on Email Marketing (Build Your List Early)

Social media followers don’t belong to you—your email list does.

Use lead magnets to collect emails:

Free checklist

Guide or ebook

Free consultation

Discount code

Then, send:

Weekly or bi-weekly newsletters

New offers/services

Blog content

Tools to use: MailerLite, Brevo, or ConvertKit for beginner-friendly automation.

7. Run Targeted Ads to Amplify Your Reach

Organic reach is important—but combining it with strategic paid ads multiplies your impact.

Where to run ads:

Meta (Facebook + Instagram)

Google Search and Display

YouTube (great for awareness)

LinkedIn (for B2B)

Start small. Even ₹3,000 ($35–$40) in Facebook ads can bring in solid leads with the right targeting.

Pro tip: Run ads to your lead magnet or email opt-in first—then nurture with content and offers.

8. Engage With Your Audience Consistently

Reply to comments. Like posts. Answer DMs.

You’d be surprised how many people choose a brand just because they feel seen.

Use tools like:

Meta Business Suite (schedule posts + check comments)

Buffer or Later for multi-platform scheduling

Chatbots (like ManyChat) for automated replies

9. Track Everything and Improve

Without data, you’re guessing.

Track:

Website traffic (Google Analytics)

Clicks and heatmaps (Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity)

Social media growth (built-in analytics)

Email open and click rates

Ask yourself weekly:

What content performed best?

Where are leads coming from?

What needs improving?

Then double down on what’s working and tweak the rest.

10. Be Consistent and Play the Long Game

This isn’t a one-time effort.

Your online presence grows like a brand—it’s about consistent action, adaptation, and patience.

Keep showing up with:

Valuable content

Transparent offers

Engaging communication

In 6–12 months, your digital presence will be so strong that clients will come to you.

Final Thoughts

The businesses winning in 2025 are those that understand digital presence = business power.

It’s not about being everywhere—it's about being strategically visible where it matters.

So whether you’re just starting out or scaling up...
