All You Need To Know About Using Wordpress

By Dougherty Trent


Following your instincts and navigating your way will get you pretty far with WordPress as a blogging platform. However, even a user-friendly WordPress can be much easier to comprehend if you have some extra instruction. After all, there are a plethora of options available to you when using WordPress, and this article is going to help bring some of them to your attention.

Be sure to choose a design that is not the same as those chosen by others who have Wordpress sites. While using something that others already have up is simple, it doesn't create a great first impression of your site. You need to show your individuality with your site.

Create smart URLs! Don't use a lot of keywords in the URL, and keep the whole thing simple and straightforward. Avoid excessive verbiage. You want to create smart permalinks that are easy to look at and easy to understand. This helps make your blog more user friendly and comprehensible.

Set a publishing time for your blog posts. When editing an article for publication, you can select when it will be published. It's a good idea to set regular updates for a specific date and time. To really stay on top of keeping your blog up to date, put your blog posts in ahead of time and let WordPress post them to your blog for you.

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.

Make a schedule for your posts. Having a schedule will assist you in getting your posts done on time. In fact, to save even more time, you can create a week's worth of posts at once, then schedule WordPress to upload them for you automatically.

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.

Use images properly on your WordPress site. They can add everything from beauty to interest to your pages. Use their alternative text tags and title tags properly. Don't settle for generic descriptions. You need to make them specific so that your visitors know exactly what they are. This also helps them figure out what your site is about.

Now that you are gaining more insight into WordPress, you should feel more confident about getting started with it. Take what you have learned here and get started blogging for your personal benefit or, if you desire, delve into the Internet marketing world. WordPress can help you be successful with both.
