========================
Hello and happy Thursday,
I want to start this brief newsletter off with a thank you
for allowing me to help you with your affiliate marketing
journey using WordPress.
But, don’t let it end there. Remember, in order to put the
teachings to good use, you need to take action. Don’t let
it sit on your hard drive collecting virtual dust. 
=======================================
2. WSO Feedback Please
=======================================
At the suggestion of a couple close friends and customers,
I’ve decided to start another Warrior Special Offer — this
time for the WP Mini Site report and theme. Since you’re a
customer, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could pop in for
a moment and offer your feedback on the thread so others
can benefit.

3. Loyalty Bonus Section
=======================================
Last week I finally got the loyalty bonus section up and
running. The first item in there is the WP Mini Site
report/theme and I’m definitely looking forward to adding
more. (By the way, if there’s something you’d like to see
offered as a bonus in the future, just let me know and I’ll
put it under consideration.)
WP Affiliate Guide customers will see the new “Bonuses” nav
menu item when logged in. If you’ve been a customer for at
least 31 days, you’ll be able to freely download anything
on that page. If, however, you haven’t been a customer for
at least 31 days, then clicking on the download link will
present you with an option to purchase a download credit.
=======================================
4. PowerBlogger Theme
=======================================
Are you in need of a new WordPress theme designed
specifically for the non-blog look? Well, Kevin, a WPAG
member, has generously created a new theme called
PowerBlogger and is making it freely available to anyone
who’d like to download and offer their feedback.
You can see the theme in action at

WP Installation & Configuration
————————
There *are* certain files which don’t need to show up in
the search engine results — namely your WP core files –
and making a quick tweak to your robots.txt file should
handle it

Who’s hotlinking from you? Pablo started an excellent
discussion on protecting your website’s files from
hotlinking and unauthorized downloads. But, be warned, this
discussion is not for the faint-hearted.

A New Section

Since a lot of people have been asking me for feedback on
their sites, I’ve added a completely new section to the
forum called ‘On Display’, where you’re welcome to submit
your websites for review and exposure. Have fun and enjoy.:)
