Making Wordpress Work For You: Tips And Tricks

By Dougherty Trent


Inviting yourself into the world of WordPress is going to show you many innovative ways to strengthen your blogging adventure. And, the following information is tailored to help you understand more about how WordPress can work for you. So continue reading in order to see just what amazing tools lie ahead.

If you plan to start a Wordpress blog, make sure that you offer readers more than just content. Even if you say many useful things, it may be quite difficult to engage readers with text. It would be a great idea to implement videos and pictures since this is a great attention grabber.

When you are committed to post content, make up a schedule. You may actually do it, if you set a time. In fact, you have the option to write all of your posts in advance and schedule them to be published at regular intervals.

Make use of a landing page. Instead of coming directly to current posts, users will pass through this landing page first. You can use this for a variety of reasons, whether for promoting a product or promoting yourself. Many themes feature a landing page; however, there are also paid options.

Eliminate any content that is not adding value to your blog. This will keep your site user-friendly to the honest people who are viewing it. To get rid of spam on a daily basis, Akismet can be a useful plugin.

Make sure you use "title" and "alt." text as you upload images to posts. This will allow you to incorporate more SEO phrases.

Be sure to back up your site often! The best way to do this is to have your host back up your site every day for you. If they don't offer this service, instead back it up yourself. There are plugins which will do the job for you, or you can just download it to your own computer.

Want to change authors on a post? Just edit the post and click on "Screen Options". Next, choose Author and then choose whomever you want to become the author of the post. Next, click "update" or "publish" to finish the change and have it go live on your website and you're done.

If you want to put two images side by side, try using an invisible table in your WordPress post. You can create a one row/two column table via your post editor and then embed a photo into each cell. You could take the next step and add another row underneath to add captions below each photo.

Trying to figure out exactly what to do even with a somewhat straightforward yet expansive platform like WordPress can still seem a little daunting. Of course, everything comes together when you have the information you need. This article has done that for you, and you're definitely ready to start using WordPress now.
