WordPress Tutorial Sites To Brush Up Your Blogging Skills

WordPress Tutorial Sites To Brush Up Your Blogging Skills

WordPress TV - http://wordpress.tv/

The video blog is a visual how-to on things that are WordPress. It is also
an official resource from WordPress. Along with the line up of videos in A-W
categories, you have interviews and discussions related around the WordPress
platform.

You also get to watch a lot of highlights from WordCamp, the international
WordPress event for the WordPress community.

WPCandy - http://wpcandy.com/

WPCandy covers WordPress from all possible angles - news, editorials,
reviews, podcasts, interviews, and of course WordPress tutorials. Then, you
have a section which reviews WP tools and themes. The tutorials section is a
mish-mash of quick tips and detailed how-tos. If you prefer listening, there's
an entire podcasts directory to tap into. You can also send WPCandy your
story ideas and even write for them when openings come up.

WpRecipes - http://www.wprecipes.com/

This two year old blog is one of the nicest resources you can find on
WordPress. The site features quick and concise fixes for setting up
WordPress to run smoothly. Most of the posts contain code snippets for
configuring WordPress. Do read the comments too as they are also sources for
tips and tweaks. A small forum (redirected) and a Themes section round off
this blog.

Digging Into WordPress - http://digwp.com/

A dedicated WordPress blog by Chris Coyier & Jeff Starr covers a lot of
ground with topics from administration to design. The frequency of posts is
around one a week. Interspersed between the WP tutorials are links to
tutorials on other blogs. So, there's no shortage of stuff to learn from.

WP Engineer - http://wpengineer.com/

You won't get a tutorial every other day on this WP site too. The frequency
is around one per week. But the 240 odd WordPress tutorials are quite
illustrative. The easy on the eyes design of the blog also helps.

WordPress Tutorials - http://www.wp-tutorials.org/

The site aggregates WP tutorials from a variety of sources and rates them
too. Although the site has gone a bit dormant now, with the last post in
February, it's worth a look because it has a collection of nearly 500 odd
tutorials.

WP Tavern - http://www.wptavern.com/

The blog is designed to be a talking point on WordPress. It is a WordPress
fan site with lots of posts that cover the platform. The blog is just about
two years old. Go right below to browse the archives. The site also has a
fairly active forum with discussion threads on topics like plugins, hacks,
themes, troubleshooting tips etc.

WP Topics - http://www.wptopics.com/

WP Topics covers WordPress news, developments, and tutorials like a news
aggregator. Influential WordPress sites are tapped and you get to read
articles on coding and design from some sites we have covered here and some
which we have not.

WordPress Stack Exchange - http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/

You can also call this a WordPress Q&A service. It's not tutorial related
but it answers any doubts you might have as an administrator or a developer
about configuring WordPress. Look around using the search bar or the tags if
the query has already been asked on the site. Also check out the FAQ which
gives some pointers on how to use this Q&A service.

SeekWP - http://www.seekwp.com/

SeekWP is a realtime search engine for WP tips and theme information. You
can type in a keyword and use the dropdown to select Themes or Tips, or do
an all inclusive search. It is a really nice shortcut to take because the
WordPress universe is expanding each day.

With the above ten I have tried to cover resources which are solely on
WordPress. There are some great sites that have separate sections on
WordPress filled with instructive tips and tricks. For instance, our own
website has around 50 WordPress posts (and climbing).

Just like me, if you are starting to tinker around with the platform, you
will get an inkling of why WordPress is sitting pretty as one of the best
CMS solutions around. Do let us know your favorite WordPress tutorial
resource too.

If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

Off-Page Search Engine Optimization

Publishers cannot directly control off-page ranking factors. These factors include inbound links, social channel activity and online customer reviews. Inbound Links: When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results. You can measure how many inbound links you currently have at www.opensiteexplorer.org . Once you collect this data, consider taking these actions: . Scan your highest-authority inbound links for opportunities to create more similar links. . Scan your competitors' highest-authority inbound links. Can you get those links too, or do they provide ideas for getting similar links? . Inbound links from non-profit (.org) and education (.edu) sites are especially valuable. Do you have any? Should you have more from your friends and partners in these realms? Build your inbound links gradually. Google algorithms will notice a quick accumulation of links and may penalize you. Get your staff on board with the idea of...

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

On-page search ranking factors are those that are entirely within the website publisher's control. In other words, it's the content you place on your webpages. Content: You must keep your content fresh with regular updates on all pages. When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results. You can measure how many inbound links you currently have at www.opensiteexplorer.org . "Evergreen content" was a trendy term in the SEO world for a while, which meant certain content can be relevant and timely year after year, so you can utilize it over and over. For example, every winter you likely post information about your winter tire specials and vehicle winterization services, so why not just flip the same information up there and be done with it? This is a lazy approach to marketing. Put some thought and effort into all of the information that goes onto your website and you will see the results, such as longer page ...
