How to publish new articles on WordPress blog

When the preparations for WordPress are similar and there are no major problems, you can add articles for your blog to enrich the content of the blog. Now that you have started this blog, it indicates that you have a clear direction and know what content you want to write. I. before adding an article to a category directory, you can add the article to your blog by dividing your work preparations before WordPress, enrich the content of a blog. Now that you have started this blog, it indicates that you have a clear direction and know what content you want to write.

1. add a category directory
Before adding an article, you can add the directories you want to classify. Go to the WordPress control panel and choose "articles"> "category directory" from the menu ". The category directory name is the category display name, and the category directory alias is actually another friendly name of the category Directory URL. I personally think this alias should not be too long. it is best to use the English name of the category directory name.


2. set the fixed link format
Then, go to "Settings"-"fixed link" in the menu and change the default link format to improve URLs readability and search engine friendliness. What kind of links are friendly to search engines? I personally think that a friendly link requires three things: (1) the content of the article can be displayed intuitively, in fact, in the English format of the title; (2) the link is beautiful and the length should not be too long; (3) use a pseudo-static (HTML) link (the soft mining blog does not use a pseudo-static link ). The fixed link format of soft mines is custom structure/% postname %


Fixed links in this way. if your article title is Chinese, you must manually change the link of each article to an English title. If you are too reluctant to translate manually, you can use WordPress plug-ins such as wpslugtranslate to automatically translate Chinese titles into English. However, I do not know whether it is compatible with the latest WordPress. I am still using WordPress2.9.

3. write an article
Step 1: Write the article title. How should I draft the article title? The primary school teacher taught us that the title of the essay should be concise and concise, highlighting the central content. In this case, the title of a blog post is the same. you need to closely follow the topic you want to write. it is best to include one or two keyword keywords.
Step 2: Enter the content of the article. The content of this article must be clear and well-defined, so that you can see it at a glance. It is not a long story. if there are too many words in the article, you can segment it in appropriate places and insert some subtitles or images for a pause. There are several points for the article to do well:
1. in the first section, generally, I will take the first section as the abstract of the article. the content of the first section is the central section that briefly outlines the entire content. Add two or three keywords.
2. if there are several parts of the article, use the h3 tag to mark the title, which is both reader-friendly and search engine-friendly;
3. Insert images appropriately. The role of the images is clearly described in the article "One thing that many Bloggers will ignore. Step 3: Enter the document summary, document tags, and select a category directory.
After the topic content of the article is written, enter the abstract of the article. If you write the abstract in the first section of the article, it is much more convenient. you can directly extract the first section as the abstract of your article. The number of characters in the abstract cannot exceed 1-characters.



Then add the article tag, which is the keyword, that is, to select the words that best reflect the content of the article. for example, in this "WordPress blog tutorial (9): add a new article ", the keyword can be used as a WordPress tutorial, WordPress, and so on.


Finally, select your document category.

4. simple SEO optimization
If you have installed the All in OneSEO plug-in, you can optimize the title, description, and keywords of the article in the lowest part of the editing page. This WordPress Plug-in is also one of the plug-ins I strongly recommend, with it, SEO optimization for WordPress blogs has become much easier. Later, I will write a tutorial on WordPress blog SEO optimization.


5. post an article
Before publishing an article, you can preview the article to see if it is displayed normally. If not, adjust the settings until the document is displayed normally.
If the content of the article has not been completed, you can click the Save draft button to save it for the next time.
