Have you got something to say to the world?
Has blogging been something you have considered taking on?
WordPress has become the popular blogging standard
on the Internet and it would be a good idea to learn more about it before you begin blogging.
This article lays out some good advice that can get you started or help you on your way.
1. 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.
2. 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if it is outdated or pointing out very old information.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.
3. You want to easily be able to search through media
You should put it all into a single folder through Wordpress.
To do this, go into Settings & Media and then uncheck the box which sets
WP to sort your media into folders based on the date.
4. 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.
5. Make sure you have a landing page.
This will ensure that visitors arrive at a specific page instead of directing them
right to your most recent posts.
A landing page will help your site gain an air of authenticity and helps it to look a little more professional than it would have otherwise.
6. Learn everything you can about the tools available on WordPress.
For instance, clicking the "kitchen sink" button gets you a multitude
of formatting and importing options to distinguish your site.
That will help you with formatting.

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.
As always I wish
you success in all you do.
