To & BEST WordPress Themes to Start a FANTASTIC Blog







I'll show you some of the best WordPress themes you can use to start a blog in any niche you want. First up, Neve helps you create a minimalist and speedy blog for just about any purpose. 



There is nothing spectacular when you first install it, but if you want to blog about energy solutions, for example, you can use this demo. Also, you can make money by recommending specific products from Amazon in your articles. 

If you want, you can transform it into a fully working e-commerce site as well, and sell energy panels or other products as a business and keep the blog for news. It is the flexibility I would like to see in any WordPress theme. Moreover, Neve is lightweight and fully-responsive in order to give your WordPress blog a Search Engine Optimization boost. Want to see how many features and options you have? I'll start showing you how to use it right now, so stay with me. It enables you to see real-time changes while editing the colors and typography through the live customizer. Moreover, it gives you possibilities to change a lot of things on your blog page as well as the structure of your single posts. Let me show you how it works. For example, the Blog / Archive settings in the Layout tab will give you access to features like Blog Layout. You have three options here, and I like how the masonry-style looks when I choose the three columns grid layout in this drop-down. If I check this box over here, the masonry style will look even better. Then I can adjust the Excerpt Lenght, the Post Pagination as Number or Infinite Scroll, and so on. Let's say I want my thumbnails to be displayed between the title and excerpt. I'll need to drag and drop the element where I want, and that's it. So cool, right? Also, I can choose to hide the title or both title and description then I'll end up with a beautiful blog page showing images only. Interesting! In the meta settings below, I can change the separator and move or hide the metadata displayed below each title. Finally, I get the option to show my avatar, set its size in pixels, and choose the style of the read more link, which is a really cool feature for bloggers. I can change the read more text too. Neve works great with the Block Editor of WordPress, where you have access to useful document settings for your blog posts. As you can see in the Post Settings over here, you can switch the container to contained or full width, turn off the sidebar or move it to the left and disable components like Header, Title, Featured Image, and Footer. Moreover, you can enable individual content width and adjust it by using this cursor. Hestia is excellent If you look for something easy to use out of the box. The design of the blog page is really cool, and you can change its look and structure through the customizer.

 In the Blog Settings menu, you'll find options for the Layout, Display Blog Categories, Excerpt Lenght, Post Pagination and if you go to theHeader Options and click on Header Settings over here, you can see options for changing the Header Gradient. Your page header can display an image too, but keep in mind that this image will be the default image throughout your entire web site on pages that has no featured image set. Let's go back to what Hestia offers for bloggers. In the Appearance Settings, General, you can change the Blog Layout and chose if you want to see the sidebar on the left or right or even deactivate it.

 Enable or disable the Sharing Icons which you can see on the single post page, enable the scroll to top button, and switch the layout to plain instead of boxed. Sure, you can change the Accent Color and the Background Color too, and here are some useful settings for your blog Typography. But I think I already mentioned that. You can change the Headings and Body font-familylike so, and adjust the size of each font type in the Font Size tab. I think it's great that you can do it separately for mobile and tablets. Hestia works great with the Block Editor of WordPress too, where you can access some customizer settings in the document sidebar. 


The Zelle WordPress theme looks and works exactly like the former Zerif. It comes with great features, and the blog page looks really good. You have options to customize the layout to fit your business totally, that is for sure. As you can see on the single post demo here, you can use the theme options panel to customize any given element with the exact color that you desire

What is WordPress and what does it do for you WordPress

What is WordPress


we're going to teach you everything you need to know about setting up and managing your WordPress site. But first, let's take a look at what WordPress is and what it can do.

 If you're watching this, you probably already know a bit about WordPress, but let's just start with the absolute basics, to be sure. WordPress is a CMS, or content management system. It allows you to build a website and publish content that you want to share with the world. There are basically three things that are central to what WordPress does. First, there's an advanced text editor, called the block editor, that helps you write content for your post and add all kinds of media, like images and videos, to them. Second, it offers ways to manage and structure your content so it's an actual website and not just a collection of posts and pages. 

And, lastly, it has all kinds of options to customize how your site works and what it looks like. Now, the really cool thing about WordPress is that there are huge libraries of ready-to-use templates and features that people have created for you to hand-pick and apply to your site. 


Some are free, some are paid. In any case, all of these resources allow you to do a lot of things, even if you don't know how to code. By making smart use of these resources, you can make your site exactly what you want it to be. Which makes WordPressa very easy-to-use CMS. And in this course, we're going to show you exactly how to make maximum use of its beginner-friendly nature. Another great thing about WordPress is that it's both free and open-source.

 Open-source means that everyone can see and contribute to the program code that shapes WordPress. This creates a very powerful ecosystem. WordPress doesn't belong to any one company. It is freely editable by a bigger community of people who build on what's already there, improving WordPress one step at a time. That's one of the reasons why there are so many great extensions to the core of what WordPress provides, and why it's so versatile. 

Now, let's get practical: what can you actually do with WordPress? What are your options? Well, only almost everything! As I've told you, one of the big powers of WordPress is that you can use it to do all kinds of things. Want to blog? That's what it was made for. 

Want an online shop? No problem, just install an e-commerce plugin! Want to set up a news site, a membership site, a photography site? I could go on, the options are countless. Because it's so easy to customize, WordPress is a very strong and flexible foundation that can house anything you want to build. In the upcoming modules, we're going to dissect this foundation completely, so you'll be able to create your website as you've always imagined it! 

How to monetize your Blogger blog with AdSense ads

 

How to set up AdSense for your blog.

Today I am going to show you how to set up AdSense for your blog.
If you've created your AdSense account from YouTube or AdMob, remember to upgrade your hosted account to AdSense for content before placing ads on your own website or blog.
 If you have a full AdSense account rather than a hosted AdSense account, you can create an AdSense ad code in your AdSense account and paste it into an HTML / JavaScript gadget in the layout of your Blogger blog. If you want to set up AdSense gadgets or configure ads in the Blog Posts gadget, you need to link your Blogger account to your AdSense account.
To monetize your Blogger blog with AdSense, sign in to your Blogger account and switch to your blog (if needed), then click on Earnings in the left menu. If your blog is still unsuitable for use in the AdSense application, you will find "How to qualify for AdSense" in your earnings tab. Click on it for more information. It links to information in the AdSense Help Center that explains eligibility requirements.
 Read all of that information very carefully. If you are applying for a hosted AdSense account and your blog does not already have a custom domain, do not use the "Sign Up for AdSense" button on this page.

When your Blogger blog is eligible to be linked to an AdSense account, place an orange "AdSense button" on your blog's revenue tab. Before adding AdSense to your blog, carefully review all AdSense program policies. Click the "Welcome to AdSense" page with two options: Click "Yes" to use a Google Account you already have logged in to use a different Google Account, or click "Create or Use Another Account" If you already have an existing AdSense account, be sure to sign in to that account, Do not apply for a second AdSense account. Next, you can verify that your blog URL is correct and your email username is correct.

If you link your blog to an existing AdSense account, you will see a button to confirm the association. Otherwise, if you are applying for AdSense, you will see the "Save and Continue" button. If you are applying for a new AdSense account, the next step will be asking you to enter your personal information.
This will open your blog's revenue tab, where you can customize your AdSense ad display settings. No ads will be displayed until your application is approved, but they must be enabled to review your application. You can also choose the basic layout for the ads on your blog. Note that if you are using a new Blogger theme, you will not find this "Sd Setup for Blog" section. Instead, you can choose the "Customize more in advanced advertising mode" option to go to your blog layout. To configure where ads appear on your blog, How to set up AdSense for your blog.

How to configure the Yoast SEO Search Appearance settings: General tab | Yoast SEO for WordPress

 







Hi, we're on the Search Appearance settings for Yoast SEO. In this screencast, we'll focus on the first tab, called "General". You'll find three different sections here, indicated by three different headings, called "Title separator", "Homepage" and "Knowledge Graph & Schema.org". 

First of all, you can choose the title separator. The title separator determines what we use to separate different parts of your SEO title from each other in the search results. At Yoast, we tend to use this bullet between, for instance, the site name and the title of a page. Let me show you what that looks like in the search results. Let's google "keyword research Yoast". OK, if you look at the first result, you'll see the bullet appear between the name of the post (Keyword research for SEO: the ultimate guide) and the site name(which is Yoast). Of course, you can also use dashes or pipes, or something else. What you choose depends mostly on taste, but if you choose a longer one, like this em dash, the amount of space that you have for your title shrinks by the space that the title separator takes up in your title. 

So we usually recommend picking a shorter one, like dots, or a pipe. The problem that we have with a pipe is that it looks too much like the letter L. Let's move on to the second section, called "Homepage". What can we do here? Let's click the question mark to find out more. "This is what shows in the search results when people find your homepage Site. This means this is probably what they see when they search for your brand name." Okay, so, what you can do here is change the SEO title and meta description of your homepage. As we've seen before, you can use snippet variables to determine the SEO title. In our case, the SEO title of the homepage would say: "Yoast" (our site title), then a page number if there is any(our page), a bullet (or separator) and "SEO for everyone" (our tagline). You can easily adjust the SEO title clicking "Insert snippet variable". And you can always check which variables are available by clicking "Need help" and then "Snippet variables". In the next field, you can enter the meta description for your homepage. 
You can insert snippet variables here as well if you like. Now, let's have a quick look at our own homepage snippet. Let's just google "Yoast". Here it is, just below the ad. If people click this result, they will land directly on our homepage. Now, as you can see, we've customized our SEO title a bit. Instead of showing the site title "Yoast" first, we've chosen to first show the tagline "SEO for everyone". And our meta description explains one clear sentence what we do and which products we offer. The last section on this tab is called"Knowledge Graph & Schema.org". That sounds rather difficult. Is it? Well, no, not for you. 

Because we take care of the difficult stuff for you. Let's first discuss the knowledge graph. What is it? A knowledge graph panel in Google's search results appears when you search for an organization or a person. If I search for, for example, "Walt Disney Company", this panel at the right is the knowledge panel. If I search for "Walt Disney" only, this is the knowledge panel. Within the plugin, you can change the settings that will determine what shows up here, which logo shows, and which social profiles show in this panel. You first have to determine whether you're an organization or a person. If you're an organization, you can set a name and logo here.

 The social profiles, like Facebook and Twitter, are taken care of in the Tools section of Yoast SEO. And we'll come back to that later in this course. If you're a person, you have to select the one that represents the site. Make sure that the user profile information is up-to-date as this information will be used the search results. You can edit this information by clicking this link. We'll come back to that later in this course as well. And... cool, cool, cool...

you can also upload an image for persons. What happens next? Well, we will automatically generate-called JSON-LD metadata (you don't have to know exactly what this is right now) but we show this data on the front page of your site. So you won't see this anywhere on the design of your site, this will just show in the code and it might show up in the search results. Good luck and don't forget to hit "Save changes" of course!
