I’m trying my hand at developing some micro niche websites with the goal of earning a bit of money from Adsense and other PPC advertisements. I am very, very new to this and have just learned enough to get a couple of sites up and running.
Nothing pretty here. Just trying to capture some search engine love and rank high enough to get some Adsense click through activity. In fact, I have already learned that at least one of these four sites (probably two) are really worthless for what my intentions are. However, with my own reseller account the only cost to me is for the domain name registration, so nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose.
One of the struggles I have had recently is determining the best way to allow my clients to update the content on their websites. Although there are a myriad of content managment systems to choose from, in my experience most of them are too complicated for the needs of the clients I normally work with.
I have personally become a convert to using WordPress as the backend for most sites that I design. By doing so, I can update most client sites from anywhere in the world through the WordPress web based interface. This is a great advantage as I am no longer tied to the various desktop software applications in my office in order to accomplish most updates.

I have always thought that one of the main flaws of many WordPress themes is that the main page navigation, when called by using the wp_list_pages() function, applies a title to each of the navigation links with whatever value is used in the the_title() of that particular page.
