Great Tips For Getting More Out Of WordPress

WordPress can be a very tricky platform to use when you are using it for your blog. Read this article for some useful tips to help you set up a blog more professional.

Become familiar with the tools that are at your disposal when you blog with WordPress. For instance, clicking the Kitchen Sink will give you choices such as importing and formatting posts. This can help you control many different formatting elements.

Make sure that you learn everything you can prior to installing it. Learn about SEO, how to create effective content, and how WordPress can best be used to your advantage.

Let readers comment on your posts. This lets you connect with your readers. You can get plugins that filter out spam and allow you approve comment before they are published.

Clean up comments and content that don’t add anything to your site. This will keep your site user-friendly for people of integrity who visit it. Akismet is a great plugin to filter daily website spam.

Get rid of extraneous characters in the URLs of your WordPress blog posts. They make it difficult for search engines to “spider” and should be removed. It would also be useful to use shorter URLs to keywords.

Sometimes you might think none of your changes have been saved. This is likely is not true. You may have a full browser cache that is interfering with your browser. Your changes will appear by simply pressing and holding the Shift key while you refresh the browser.

You must specify if you want your post to appear in the order published. You also alter the date and have it post on a certain day and time. I love this for the weekends or even when going on vacation! My viewers never know that I am out living the dream! 

Do you posts garner lots of people? If that’s the case, it can be hard to sort through them all. You can install a plugin that does this section. This will make your site look organized.

Be sure that your readers can forward your posts to themselves if they like. This is essential so that they can easily share these articles with their audience as well. You can do this easy with a WP-Email plugin and also having a social media share button as well.

Only install the plugins that you need. Plugins are cool and all, but they also increase the time it takes for your home page to load. This can slow things greatly and affect your site ranks on search engines. Slow websites tend not to rank as well as those that have been optimized for speed.

Make sure you have the latest WordPress version. Updates generally include patches that you will want to have. Your site is more vulnerable if you’re not using the most current version. That is why it is important to install the latest WordPress updates as soon as they come out.

You can connect separate posts by using internal linking. These plugins create lists of a few links to each post that are relevant.

Is it hard to stick to a schedule when it comes to when you post on your posting schedule? You could write your content to post if you like and save it as a draft. This means you get started on everything ahead of schedule and it’s ready at your fingertips.

You cannot learn everything about WordPress immediately, but you sure have a great start. Implementing it will improve the quality of your blog. Eventually, you’ll be making posts with ease.
