Hey Mohammad,
You may find the following blog helpful: How to SEO Your Website Images Hope this helps you.
Thank you! I did read it and all. I understand the process now. However, I don't understand one small thing, and that is why the SEO plugins suggest adding the keyword to the images instead of the actual description? I understand that scoring for these plugins means nothing, but I am curious to know why they didn't actually update the requirements.
Hey Mohammad,
For an answer to that question, you'd need to reach out to the the SEO plugin, as I am not the developer and could only guess as to why, which wouldn't be fair to you or the SEO plugin developer.

I did try to add CSS code to change the post area background same for the widget and sadly that doesn't work at all.
Hey Mohammad,
You did not mention what theme you use, but I'm thinking that most themes now offer this ability under Appearance > Customize and the look for Layout and Titles to see if that option may be available in your theme.
Hope you find this helpful.
I am using Astra on this site! I did check and search for the layout color option, but there is no such option, sadly. Thank you for the answer!
Knowing that tidbit of info DOES make a difference with being able to help you sooner, yes, thank you.
See screen print below...
There are a few options. You can use the "customize" section under Appearance in Site Manager or you can use CSS.

Sorry about that. But does your theme have any options for adjusting the css colors in any way?
That was the problem, too, and I believe they wanted me to buy the premium theme to be able to change the color, which was weird!
I did change the font color there, and I didn't find any option to change the font color for the layout itself. THank you for the answer.

Hello everyone. So I wonder how to write recipes on my food blog? Basically, I know how to write the recipe itself. But, whatever I add or do, it is kind of hard to reach more
Have you tried commenting on the health of the ingredients of the recipes. Another thing would be to try to tell them or teach them to fry some of the spices and herbs before adding to the recipe to bring out their essence. A lot of times just explaining how to slice and dice, mentioning cleaning their cutting boards and such will also add words to your recipe. You should not write just a recipe, but follow it with an in-depth explanation of preparation from beginning to end, these things will add a lot of words to your recipes. There is a lot more to cooking than just a recipe.
Hey Mohammad,
When sharing recipes on my personal blog, I have NEVER worried about word count. After typing up a recipe in Word, I simply copy and paste it into the Text Editor, add my featured image, select my category, rate it as a recipe and click Publish... or Schedule.
Couldn't tell you how many words that any one of my recipes are. Seriously.
Like Kyle has said (so many times) that you should fret about word count. Simply write until you have NOTHING more to add.
You see, too many used to hold back information, and THAT is no longer recommended. Hasn't been recommended since... probably 2000.
Personally, I never held back sharing information, simply because when learning to create web pages back in the 90s, we each had to share with each other in order to learn. There were NO lessons online or in schools.
So... I learned from the get-go to SHARE... or... pass it on. This is why, once I'd been here on the WA platform that I have NEVER wanted to EVER leave.
Feels like I finally got to come back home since the early 90s. :-))
Hope you find this helpful.
Thank you very much! Your amazing, inspiring answer and the others made me feel more confident just to write my best recipes and stop worrying about the word count!

I have a recipe site with, at the moment going on 130 recipes and building. Some posts literally contain just the recipes and some I have added some blurb about the quality of ingredients that should be used.
As for SEO with a recipe site I,m not sure the number of words really matter, as I have about 20 of my posts ranking in position 1 with very little added content.
I use WP recipe maker to create my recipes.

You would need to have your confirmation email contain a link to a page on your website. Many autoresponders allow you to add a custom confirmation link.
