Making Wordpress Work For You: Tips And Tricks
1. Making Wordpress Work For You: Tips And Tricks
Create a posting schedule for yourself. You can stay motivated when you know how to post. As a
matter of fact, you can create your posts ahead of time and then use the WP scheduling feature to
post them at specific times.
Take out any special characters in the URLs of your blog entries. They give search engines difficulty
when they are spidering your site, so try to eliminate them altogether. It is also a good idea to
shorten URLs to keywords.
Do many people leave comments on your posts? If so, it can be hard to weed through all of these
comments. Try using a plugin that adds page numbers to the comment section. That will improve
navigation and make your site look better organized.
The greeting appearing at the head of the Wordpress website page should be very engaging. A good
greeting is more intimate for visitors and can relate to how this visitor found your blog. This will
make your site look much more inviting.
Let your users easily share your content via email. This is crucial for sharing as well, because many
users may lack Twitter or Facebook access on the job, but they may want to share those articles.
WordPress has a plugin for email sharing.
Don't use "admin" as a username. You are risking bot attack if your username is something generic
like administrator or admin. This creates an unnecessary security risk. Delete all users who call
themselves "administrator" or "admin". Choose something else.
Security is essential for WordPress users, so make your password is kept confidential. Additionally,
only use reputable sites when downloading plugins. Otherwise, your site may run into a virus.
Always organize your media library. While putting a bunch of pictures right into the library might
seem the way to go at first, that turns messy before you know it. Develop a system of folders so that
things go where they should. It will make images easier to find when you need them.
