You can still use any theme really, its what ever catches your eye and how you want to lay it out in your mind.
If you are writing product reviews and linking to them in the body of your post then you don't need lots of fancy sidebars and footers to put text boxes or widgets in.
You need to think about what features you need and what you want the site to be able to do for you and then try the search using the Feature tab in the Themes sections to see if it can narrow it down for you.
If you are switching themes on a site with some work on it already then set up a test siterubix site and try your themes out on there so as not to disturb your site.

Thank you...just thought I would ask... as it takes me ages to pick a theme...

us the feature tab and it will help narrow it down for you if there are features that you feel you must have on a site.

Hi, I am trying to get my site, www.growth4u.siteruberix.com indexed. I can't follow the instructions in the tutorial, because google wants me to verify the site, and despite m

Hi ya
I am still struggling with this and I have tried a couple of methods there and it still will not verify and index. i have uploaded a picture. I have also tried doing ti by using yoast seo, no joy. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

It should work the way Marion gave you, if it doesn't try using another browser.

You can use Gyazo screenshot tool to take a screenshot :)

is that an app

monosnap is an awesome screenshot tool that lets you also do video screencaptures. free, too!

Which method are you using for verification?

Good morning thanks for asking! I tried the recommended version first, that was even before I posted the question based on the training you suggested! Then Marion posted that one which was straightforward and still it did not work!
It's an exm like trying to get into Harvard!!! ( wry smile) anyway I'll keep trying! I'll ask my email list to click it see if that works x

Which method are you using for verification? Is it google account or another method?

The easiest way to verify your site is through your SEO plugin.

Thank you, i shall give that a go now.

hello marion, hmm it still did not work, amazing, not sure what to do next.

Make sure you only paste in the part of the code between the quote marks (not the quote marks themselves).

HI ya I am looking for a simple contact form. thanks Nike

as a subscription form or to lead to an auto responder?

oh thanks Cath, have gone with Contact form 7, i just wanted a box that people can fill in with questions.

if its just going to your site email then thats the best one.

Contact Form 7 has lots of users. I don't personally have experience with it though. It's at the top of Google search for a contact form for Wordpress.

Thanks. I will check that out.

Hi, what is the best free plugin, for a subscription call to action? Thanks

do you have an autoresponder like aweber?

Great idea, I completely forgot that and I use it myself. lol

+1 on the Aweber idea. :)

hi ya, i have mail chimp. Their pop up tends to be a bit hit and miss.

There is a mail chimp plugin you can use. Do you want it to pop up or to be in the side bar?

hi cath, yes I would like it to pop up. I don't have a sidebar on my site, well one of them anyway.
thanks

You can always place the text for the option to mailchimp in the text in your post and it will show as a static form to fill in.

I recommend using 'Sumome' it comes with much more than just popups but analytics and ads if you wish which bring more traffic.

It really is great and keeps the amount of plugins down too.

Need anymore advice just ask.

Bryan

Hello Bryan,

Hi, I love adding my posts to the menus, but I was just wondering, as the content grows, should i stop adding the posts to the menus or delete older ones from the menus seeing

oh wow, thanks everyone for your responses. I am inclined to make better use of my categories going forward. I like my non clickable headings in the menu so I think i can work out the balance I seek. On thanks a lot.

I also like to have all items in the menu, pages and posts. But this is not possible if you have a big site. There is a limit regarding the number of items in the menu (and all sub-menus), regardless what they are, and it is 80 in most themes.

I have shared a trick on making menus and you can always make sub menus to tidy up the main menus as you add to your blog. You can add the most recent widget to the side bar so that people can find your most recent posts.

I wouldn't put too many items in the menu

I think it depends on how many posts you have. Generally, I'd say yes because hopefully, you'll have so many posts that the menu would get out of hand.

My preference is to have a blog roll on the home page. Depending on your theme you'll have settings as to how many recent posts will show there, and how much of the post is showing. For my theme, I have it set to the 10 recent posts with a 250-word excerpt and the post's featured image.

Then I use post categories to organize my menus. I don't manually add individual posts to the menus. But if you do, that's fine. It would just be more maintenance stuff that I don't want to deal with.

You should really stick to putting Pages in your Main Menu and create Categories for your Posts.
Just my opinion and personal preference.
Robert

Do we add all our posts to the menu?
