Widgets and Plugins

As you search for widgets and plugins keep in mind what you want them to do for you. A few key widgets and plugins to have on your wordpress blog are based around the next 3 topics: Advertisements, Media, and Social Networks. Downloading and installing plugins can be done automatically with WordPress by going to your plugins tab and searching. Plugins can be downloaded for other blog platforms from other sites by searching Google.

Is your Content + your Theme sending the right message?

Your theme is used to grab the attention of your readers, but your content keeps your readers coming back and subscribing. An easy way to keep readers coming back for more is updating daily. By updating your blog daily you will have search engines crawling it more often and will be known to keep your site’s content updated.

Presentation is also important though, having an appealing theme will allow you to brand yourself as a knowledgeable individual within your niche.

Choosing a topic/niche?

Content is king.

If you want to have faithful readers you have to establish your topic from the start. Many blogs take shape as either business or personal. The choice is up to you, but remember it’s easier to write about something your truly passionate about.

Content is king, posting unique information is the best way to get noticed by others. The way you can make sure your information is relevant and unique is by searching the web. Allowing yourself to stand apart from others will increase your subscribers and will keep you motivated to keep your blog active.
