Everything There Is To Know About Wordpress

By Dougherty Trent


Have you taken a look at WordPress in the past or used it before? If so, or even if you have not, you're about to learn some great things about just how much WordPress has to offer you as a blogger. Read through these valuable tips to see exactly what you've been missing out on.

Remember to make your sidebar as concise and clean as possible. You don't want it to be full of 100 links, ads and buttons. Instead, only put what is important in your sidebar and, if you need more links, put them into submenus which appear when the user mouses over your main menu.

Remember that the title and description of each page on your site is what many other sites will use to categorize your link and share it with the world. For example, it will be what Google shows when someone searches for a site such as your own. Fill them with SEO key phrases and make sure there are no typos.

Most templates come with a landing page built in, so make use of it. This stripped down page allows you to focus their intention on exactly what you want them to look at, be it a sign-up form or a "Buy Now" link. This ensures they take the actions you want them to.

If you haven't customized your WordPress sidebar, it could be cluttered with useless items that are doing nothing but confusing your readers. Your sidebar should only contain things you actually want visitors to click on. Navigate to Appearance & Widgets to edit the appearance of your sidebar and remove anything there that doesn't actually benefit you or your visitors directly.

If you are new to WordPress, make sure to keep your sidebar simple. Make sure that it only has the essentials. Your visitors shouldn't have to weed through a ton of ads and banners to find the links they want to click on. Try removing the items in Appearance & Widgets that don't contribute anything to your cause or business.

If you want a post to stay at the top of the page, there is no need to set it's date way in the future any longer. Instead, go to the post and click on Edit under Visibility. Choose the option which allows you to make the post sticky and enjoy!

Do not forget about Facebook. Visitors to your site should be able to leave comments or register with your site through their Facebook account. There are plugins that will help you getting things rolling on your page, and they are easy to download and use. Since so many people are on Facebook, it is important to ensure that your page incorporates the social media site in some way.

Is it hard for you to post during the times you intend to or when you plan to? Write your posts when you want and set the time when it should be posted. Once you have any new post page open, look for the choice to set a publication in the future. So, write in advance and line up your posts in order to have them published at a regular interval.

Are the pictures on your site too big? Or, are you concerned that your visitors cannot see them clearly? Click on "settings" and then on "media." You will be able to adjust the default size of your pictures. Spend a little time playing around with this to see what suits you, and your site, the best.

WordPress has become the blogging tool of choice, used by novices as well as professionals. Put these tips into practice, and you'll soon be a WordPress expert. Don't hesitate any longer and start using WordPress now.
