Project Detail

Description

We need someone to install the free Word Press blog software on a WINDOWS Server for us and configure it so that the URL’s are SEO friendly.

Also, install Semiologic Plug-in (see www.Semiologic.com) and configure a plug-in theme we picked out.

The URL’s must be SEO friendly, not the “index.php?=” garbage in the url.

We do not want our link URLs to look like this: “domainname.com/index.php?page_id=1”

We want them to look like this:
“domainname.com/blog-post-title”

PLEASE DO NOT bid on this project if you DO NOT specifically know how to make the URL’s friendly on a WINDOWS Server. There is something that has to be done with an “IIS Filter” to get the url’s the way we want them on a WINDOWS Server.

This is an EASY job for someone who has done this EXACT type of install before on a Windows Server (not Linux).

A few people have tried to do this for us already with no luck. The software is able to be installed, but for some reason three separate vendors could not get the software to work per our specifications!

The server is dedicated (thru GoDaddy.com) has IIS and PHP Active running and MySQL. Plesk Control Panel is used. All the technical components to make this work.

For SECURITY reasons we would like to use GoToMeeting.com to watch the install process as you are installing it on our server. We’ve had security problems in the past using outside vendors, and therefore must watch the process during installation LIVE as it happens.

This will require an IM and phone conversation via Skype and a specific time established to do the work. A phone conversation would be PREFERED to ask any direct questions vs. typing endlessly on Instant Messenger (IM) during LIVE install.

**We’ve had three separate vendors attempt to install for us. All three got the blog to work, but not the seo friendly url’s (ie: “domainname.com/blog-post-title”). They always ended up looking like this (ie: “domainname.com/blog/?page_id=1” or like this “domainname.com/blog/?page_id=1”)**

- We are looking for someone to do this ASAP, and make sure the word press software works for us the way we want

- Please provide reference(s) of blogs you have installed with seo friendly urls.

- WE ONLY WANT SOMEONE who has done this EXACT blog install on a WINDOWS Server with the SEO friendly url’s as outlined above. If not, do not bid. We’ve had about 10 hours of our time wasted from three people who said they “could figure it out” with no results!

In your response please include:
- Proof you know how to install blogs on a Windows Server as outlined above.
- Examples of blogs you installed on a WINDOWS Server with SEO friendly url’s.
- When you can start.
- Your bid.
- Approximate time project would take to complete.
- Do you have skype? (it’s free)
- A specific date / time this week you could do the work
(as it related to Pacific Standard Time PST in the US).
- If you have experience installing extra plug-ins.

ALL Word Press files and plug-ins will be ready and waiting for you in the domain folder on our server to save you time.
