More and more people are getting into blogging. WordPress is the most popular choice when it comes to blogging. But even with all its glory, there is a whole lot to learn when starting out with WordPress. Read this article for some great tips for using WordPress.

Make sure that you do not choose the same design as everyone else that has a Wordpress site. It saves time, but doesn't make a great impression on others. Create something that shows your unique flair.

If your post has a long title, clean up its permalink. For instance, a title such as "Top Ten Way To Tame Unruly Children" can create a long URL. You can change that permalink to " parenting-tips-unruly-kids" or similar based on SEO keywords.

Make sure you use Alt and Title. This adds searchable text to the posts. Not only do these fields offer more opportunities to stuff in more content specific SEO keywords, but they also allow users who can't load images to know what they can't see on your site.

Make sure you learn everything you can prior to installing WordPress. The more you plan in advance, the better you can start off. Learn what you can about SEO, or search engine optimization, and find out how to create engaging content for visitors. Learn how you can use WordPress to the highest advantage. That will help make sure that you don't have a tough time when you start.

When you are committed to post content, make up a schedule. By developing a schedule, you will remain motivated. You can even create a week's worth of content all at once and tell WordPress when to post it to your blog.

Review your content for irrelevant material and remove it. You want to make your site as user-friendly as possible. Use Akismet if you need a plugin to do this.

Sometimes you may spend a lot of time adjusting your WordPress blog and then mistakenly think none of your changes have been saved. This is mots likely false. Clear your cache to see if that fixes the problem. Just hold the 'shift' key when you refresh your browser to see the changes.

Spend a little extra time on your pictures if you want to improve your rankings on search engines. Make sure that your title tags are clearly indicated. If your readers "pin" you on Pinterest, that title will automatically show on their screen.

Write a personalized greeting near the top of your blog. This will make your overall site look more aesthetically pleasing. Using a plugin like WP Greet Box will make your blog appear less robotic.

Ensure that it is possible for users to forward articles from your site to their email easily and at will. This is crucial for sharing purposes. Visitors may not have access to sites like Twitter or Facebook at work and need a way of sharing your article with others. You can use the Email plugin in WordPress to do this.

After reading this article, you should have a better understanding of WordPress. While many people do use WordPress as a platform, they don't always understand all of what they should. These tips should help you go further, so remember them when you start using WordPress.
