Here are some tips you need to know to help you write your posts in WordPress.\r\n\r\n
\"The<\/a>

The\u00a0Alt Text<\/strong>\u00a0field in Attachment Details<\/p><\/div>\r\n

Practice Accessibility<\/h3>\r\nTo make the experience of using your site the best as possible for everyone, make sure to give your images\u00a0Alt Text<\/strong>, which is the text read out by screen readers instead of an image.\u00a0This field is available both when inserting an image, and editing an existing one.\r\n

Use Paragraphs<\/h3>\r\nNo one likes to read writing that never pauses for a line break. To break your writing up into paragraphs, simply press enter when writing a post to start another line.\r\n

Use Headings<\/h3>\r\nIf you are writing long posts, break up the sections by using headings to highlight a change of subject. You can add headings into your posts by using the\u00a0Paragraph<\/strong>\u00a0dropdown menu in the WordPress editor. Click it, and select a style you want, with\u00a0Heading 1<\/strong>\u00a0being the most important and\u00a0Heading 6<\/strong>\u00a0being the least important.\r\n

Spell Check and Proof<\/h3>\r\nIt’s important to keep your posts looking professional, and that includes checking they are spelled correctly. Your browser will usually check your spelling and highlight errors automatically based on the language of your operating system.\r\n

Think before you post<\/h3>\r\nRanting on blogs is commonplace today, but take a moment and think about what you are writing. Remember, once it is out there, it can be seen by many and crawled by search engines; and taking things back is harder once it is public. Take a moment to read what you’ve written before hitting the Publish button. When you are ready, share it with the world.\r\n

Write about what you like<\/h3>\r\nYou\u2019ve heard this a thousand times before and it sounds too cliched, but it is true. If you force yourself to write something that you don\u2019t really enjoy, it will show. Perhaps you might not have a specific theme for writing when you just start, but that\u2019s ok. You\u2019ll become more focused later. Just enjoy the experience and write what you like.\r\n

Write frequently<\/h3>\r\nWrite as frequently as you can, but don\u2019t let quantity get in the way of quality. Your viewers come for content, not to spend time reading useless stuff.\r\n

Don\u2019t use too much slang<\/h3>\r\nNot all the readers will be from your part of the world so make sure people can understand your writing easily.\r\n

Don’t hide your emotions<\/h3>\r\nTempting as it might be, don\u2019t hide your real emotions. After all that is what a blog is about. If you want, you can stay anonymous and voice your feelings on whatever you are passionate about. You might have strong views on various subjects but let your readers know your passion. What is passion worth if you can\u2019t even share it? You\u2019ll actually love the discussions it can lead to. The discussions will broaden your own thinking and you might end up making some really good friends.\r\n

Consider your\u00a0audience<\/h3>\r\nBefore writing a post, consider who you are aiming it at.\u00a0What information will\u00a0that particular group of people benefit from and how much do they already know about the subject? Keep your blog posts interesting, but make sure your audience won’t find them too difficult to understand.\r\n

Make use of comments<\/h3>\r\nComments let people share their ideas. You might not always agree with them, but they are great for starting discussions which will draw people to your blog.\r\n

Use pictures and videos<\/h3>\r\nThey make the pages colorful and viewers get to see a little of your part of the world. They feel connected.\r\n

Keep writing<\/h3>\r\nDon\u2019t stop blogging. If you don\u2019t have anything to write about, chances are, you are still holding back. Let loose. Perhaps surf more blogs and maybe you\u2019ll get an idea.\u00a0Write about topics that interest you, the latest developments in your company or industry or what you’ve got coming up. Keep your readers interested!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[300],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nTips for Writing Posts -
