I recently purchased a license for Steady Niche, a quick and easy niche site building php script. It auto generates all the pages and you just fill in your desired keywords, title tags, and add your affiliate information like Adsense publisher code, and Ebay PID.
So, step one after buying the license. Installation. I have two hosting accounts, and I had two Wii themed domain names. So I figured one in each account was a good plan. The first hosting account is basically a GoDaddy reseller. I have read that there are problems running certain php based programs on GoDaddy hosting if you have the low level account, but I have a Deluxe account so I figured I was safe. You know what they say about assuming. Yeah, it didn’t go as planned. I’m working with my host to get this figured and get the IonLoaders working properly, whatever those are. http://wiipartyaccessories.com/ this is the current result;
Not very sexy is it? Yeah wasn’t real thrilled with that and I don’t have the php knowledge to figure out how to fix the problems … but I think it has something to do with the hosting type. Hopefully working with the host I can get it working on that domain name.
Onto the second installation on my other hosting account, which is a Host Gator hosting account. This went smoothly. I uploaded everything via ftp and it worked on the first try. All I had to do was edit the config.php file to tweak the keywords and add my Adsense pub ID. There were no problems at all getting things uploaded on this hosting. You do need to make sure you ftp in Binary mode (which seems to be the default, I had never noticed before now though.) http://www.bestwiidownloads.com Here is how this one is looking right now.
Much better, and fully functioning except for the Products page which seems to be pulling an error. I’ve asked for some help with that over at the Steady Niche member’s area since other folks seem to be having the same problem as well.
Stay tuned for more about this interesting niche site building program. In Part 2 We’ll talk about customization … as soon as I figure that part out -lol-

Well, how’s it going ;) SteadyNiche definitely looks like an interesting option – I hope it works out and isn’t giving you too big a headache.
We know how I am with “techie” stuff ;)
So I noticed that these sites aren’t using SteadyNiche anymore… Did you sell/not renew them, or abandon the software?
I am very close to purchasing the software… do you recommend?
Thanks
