    1. Titles
    The text that you see in your browser’s window bar is the most important thing *on* your page. Make sure your titles are getting rewritten and the important stuff (your post titles) always come before anything else. You can leave a few words from your blog title to do some branding but don’t overdo. If your post titles don’t contain your most precious phrases you want to rank for then tweak them. Leave the post titles as it is but change the meta title.

    Obtain More New Visitors from Wordpress Update Services

    August 30th, 2009 by ytechcity

    Wordpress allows bloggers to use these automatic update services for free and with ease. Most people use Ping-o-Matic which, with just one “ping” from you, will let many other services know that you’ve updated.

    What is Update Services
    Update Services are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time you create or update a post. In turn, Update Services process the ping and updates their proprietary indices with your update. Now people browsing sites like Technorati or Sphere can find your most recent posts!

    update_services
    Go to “Settings” and then to “Writing” and scroll down.
    There will be a text box titled “Update Services.”

    Add these links to that box.

    Note: Some update services require you to sign up before you can submit your blog and notify them of updates.

    Now, when ever you add a new post, these pingback services will be notified which allows more websites, services, and potential viewers to be alerted of your new post.

    Happy blogging!

    How to create “Read More…” link

    August 22nd, 2009 by ytechcity

    Have you founded that some of your post is too long and make the front page is too long also. In this post, i will show you how to split the posts of your blog so that only the first part of the post is displayed on the home and archive (monthly, category, etc…) views. When you do this, a link will be placed directly after your excerpt, pointing the reader to the full content of the post.

    What is ‘Read More’?
    Read more is a button you click on to determine the section of your post which readers see straight away. Anything below that code, readers will need to click the text “Read More…” link to see the rest of the post.

    Using the More tag

    1) Go to Posts -> Add New in your dashboard to create a new blog entry.

    2) Begin writing your post. When you decide that you want to cut it off, you can insert the More tag to effectively split the post (mark where the excerpt officially ends) or by pressing Alt+Shift+T. You will see, in the visual editor, the More tag as such:

    read_more_link

    3) Finish writing your post.

    4) Publish the post and view the front page of your blog. You should see your post effectively split using the More tag. Click on the link, and you will be taken to the post in its full form.
