Simple Tweaks

However, there are a few tweaks that need to be made to ensure the search engines can find your information.

The first is to change the privacy settings and the second is to change the permalinks in your admin area.

This allows the search engines to better index your blog.

Pages vs Posts

Blogs have pages and posts. Pages are used for information that will not be updated regularly.

That could be your about page, privacy policy, contact page or disclaimer. Links for these pages will appear in the navigation bar.

Posts are like the entries in a diary. It is the updated information that you post on a regular basis.

If you have comments enabled, your readers are able to comment directly on the post. This is a great way to get readers back to your blog.

Auto Scheduling

This is a great feature because it allows you to write may different blog posts and schedule them.

They will only appear on your blog on the date and time you have scheduled.

This is very handy when you are going away on holiday and want new information published to your blog while you are away.

Widgets

In the sidebar of most blogs you will notice a recent post list, a list of links or adverts.

These are inserted into your blog using widgets. Within your blog admin area these widgets are dragged and dropped into the area you require.

There is a wide range of different widgets to suit the application you require.

Plugins

Plugins are what make WordPress blogs the flexible platform that they are.

Plugins exist for creating sitemaps, forms, search engine optimisation, tracking, backup’s, social bookmarking, checking broken links and so much more.

A WordPress blog opens a huge amount of opportunity for anyone wanting to create a website that attracts visitors and makes money, with a very small budget and limited time.
