Wondering How To Get Started With Wordpress? Try These Ideas!

By Dougherty Trent


Have you been thinking of starting a blog but feel you are too technologically challenged to do so? Well, have no fear because you have come to the right place. The following article will point out the most important things you should know when working with the most popular content management system - Wordpress.

Make sure that all of the information on your site is current. This is very important as viewers will tend to veer away from your site if it is outdated or pointing out very old information. Spend time each week getting rid of the antiquated material on your website to improve how it looks.

Make the most of your titles and your descriptions. Any time you share posts on social media sites a description and title may be required. These are important in terms of good search engine optimization, so don't just toss out titles and descriptions in a random fashion. Give it some thought and optimize with good keywords.

Allow your users to access your articles easily by email. This is critical when it comes to sharing too, because those who do not have access to social media at work may still want to send your articles to their friends. You can make this easy with a WP-Email plugin.

Use your footers wisely. People often scroll to the bottom of a page to find out who runs the site, how to contact the owner or to see how fresh the content is based on a copyright date. You can even include a short biography or other information you feel is pertinent.

Set a schedule when you're ready to post. You may actually do it, if you set a time. You may even choose to dedicate time to creating content and then letting WordPress publish it at predetermined times.

Include your SEO-based keywords in the titles of your posts. In fact, make them the first few words of the title. For example, if your key phrases is "best pizza in Toronto", you could create a title such as "For the Best Pizza in Toronto, Only Spring Water Will Do!"

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.

Be sure to choose unique, difficult to hack passwords and keep them secure. It doesn't matter if you are a free WordPress blogger of a paid, self-hosted WordPress blogger: it is important to keep your passwords strong and secure. In this way, you will not have to waste valuable time cleaning up sabotage and changing passwords. This will help ensure that your blog is a success.

You no longer have to approve or disapprove comments manually. Instead, use Akismet to do the work for you. You can receive an email each time someone leaves a comment, but it's more efficient to just forgo manual approvals. Pre-approving every post can consume large amounts of your time.

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.
