Blog

Are you the owner of a low-traffic WordPress blog? Are you curious about setting one up but are not sure how to get it right? Successfully operating any web content creation is a matter of balancing personal knowledge with honest effort. The following paragraphs have some useful tips you can use to get started.

If your post title is really long, cut down the length of the web page permalink. For instance, “Ten Ways Smart Parents Can Tame Their Children” would come across as a cumbersome, long URL. Try using just the keywords for the best results.

WordPress makes video blogging easy. This can involve a bit of a learning curve, but it is well worthwhile. A lot of Internet users respond well to visuals. Videos can sometimes convey information more quickly and effectively than the written word.

Create a posting schedule for yourself. By developing a schedule, you will remain motivated. With the scheduling feature available on WordPress, you can create several posts and schedule them throughout the week.

If there is content or comments that aren’t of value, remove them. That will help you to keep the site friendly to people who are looking at it. You can filter spam every day with the plugin known as Akismet.

Do you posts garner lots of comments? You may not want to sort through all of the comments. A plugin can separate your comments into pages. That will make navigation much easier and your site will appear more organized.

Search engine ranks can be boosted with just a little more time spent while adding photos. Never forget to include a title and the alt attribute. Your title will show up if someone “pins” that image to Pinterest.

Ensure that it is possible for users to forward articles from your site to their email easily and at will. This is essential for sharing purposes, since not everyone uses Twitter or Facebook while working. A WP Email plugin can make this possible.

It is important that you securely store your password. In addition, don’t download plugins from disreputable sites and always read the reviews before installing any plugin. You’ll lose all your hard work if your site gets hacked or infected with malware.

Keep your plugins updated. Plugins are a smart solution for making your site unique and highly functional. They will update just like normal software. If you don’t wish to keep up with the update installation, you may miss important upgrades, or they may stop working.

Make sure the WordPress you use on the site is always the updated version. Many updates have security updates to fix vulnerabilities. Older versions of WordPress leave you vulnerable to attack by malware. Install all the updates to keep your site secure.
