WordPress Experience Sharing

I have been using WordPress for more than a year and have a variety of difficulties. Although there is a distance from expectation, some common plug-ins have been added to the simple theme, which basically meets my requirements, today, I will introduce some of the plug-ins I have used and share some experience with you.

Blocking ad comments

Akismet, This is required. Otherwise, there will be a lot of comments in your article every day. It is reasonable to say that many comments in the article should be good, but unfortunately these are all spam comments, there are a bunch of AD links in it. If you let these ad comments go viral, your blog will become "you can't watch it yourself ".

Code highlighting

Programmers will inevitably need to post several pieces of code when writing a technical blog. blog readers hope that the code you post will be "readable". What I am talking about here is code highlighting, the black-colored character string of the segment does not have the desire to read the code. Syntaxhighlighter is the WordPress plug-in with the best highlight effect I have ever seen. It supports hundreds of programming languages and is strongly recommended to you.

Use markdown to write a blog

Since I got started with WP-markdown, I have never wanted to use other editors to write technical articles. With markdown, you don't have to worry about the article format. You can write beautiful articles by familiarizing yourself with the simple markdown syntax. Syntaxhighlighter and WP-syntax sometimes conflict with each other, that is, WP-syntax may re-explain the results explained by syntaxhighlighter, leading to code highlighting problems, install WP-markdown-syntaxhighlighter to solve this problem.

 

Comment management

WordPress does not support replies to comments by default, that is, comments cannot be nested. Each comment is for an article. WordPress thread comment can solve the problem well. It supports nested comments and is more clear and clear, and is coupled with the subscribe to comments plug-in for comment reminder, which can achieve a good interaction effect.

Article paging navigation

WordPress's default page navigation is very unfriendly. You can only flip one page forward/back. When there are many articles, it takes half a day to find an article. You can use WP-pagenavi to implement paging navigation, supports turning pages up or down and redirecting to a specified page, which is very convenient to use.

Access statistics

WP-posviews can help you collect statistics on the access to articles and pages, and export top-10 and other information based on the statistics. However, if you want to learn more about the access information, we recommend that you use tools such as Baidu statistics and Google Analytics (you need to implant a small JS Code on the blog page ).

Copyright information

Add Post URL allows you to add custom copyright statement information at the beginning or end of an article.

Image and attachment management

WordPress stores images and attachments in the WP-content/uploads directory by default, and organizes the files according to the month of the uploaded year to facilitate indexing. However, based on my experience, this is actually very difficult. Once domain name change or data migration is involved, a lot of extra work is required. It is reasonable to store images and attachments externally, such as Baidu album and upyun storage, the free storage space they provide should be sufficient for most personal blog sites. It is recommended that you select a reliable storage service provider, which is not powerful and may be difficult to use at any time.

Fixed Link Selection

WordPress fixed link formats such as http://blog.yunnotes.net /? P = 123, this format is simple, but not very nice, is not conducive to content Seo. If you do not like this form of fixed link, we recommend that you modify the form of fixed link when you first build WordPress, which saves a lot of trouble.

Blog topic

My requirements for the technical blog UI are concise and easy to read, but I have no idea about the front-end. I haven't found any ideal theme after several theme changes. The current twenty twelve is the closest to expectation because it is concise but has a general reading experience. At present, with the development of the mobile Internet, blog topics have become less important. Many readers may use mobile phones to read through subscription tools similar to Google Reader. (Take this opportunity to remember the upcoming Google Reader !)

You have good WordPress Themes, plug-ins, or use experience. We recommend that you.
