An important aspect for a blog or website is the sidebar. The sidebar is the one who shows the most important links, featured posts, banners, funny stuff, facebook widgets, follow me icon, and many other.

WordPress currently have a good sidebar management. You just drag and drop things into it. You install a plugi and then you drag and drop the widget you want.

They won’t keep in mind which is the last article they read. [Read the rest of this entry…]

Until 3 months ago, i used to build sites on normal HTML templates that i selected from the web.

First i made a header.php file, sidebar.php file, footer.php file, things were simple, until the SEO started to concern me. At that point i realized that is a bad idea to have the same title for all files so i switched to a complete file for each page.

A sure thing is that people like images. They tend to look to a image or a video instead of reading something.

They will read too, but it is unlikely to read something before they are catch with a big headline or an image. They don’t like to waste time, they want to read only trusted sources.
