MOST NOTABLE BENEFITS OF USING WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN

MOST NOTABLE BENEFITS OF USING WORDPRESS WEBSITE DESIGN | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Remember the time when you or a friend wanted to start a blog back in high school? Blogs had only hit the internet back when I was in high school and everyone, writer or not, suddenly seemed to have an opinion on sports, fashion, food, life, and what not! The best way to make those opinions known to a wider audience was blogs. Everyone wanted to have one!

Thanks to WordPress, everyone got their fair share of blogging. No kidding. WordPress started in 2003 and took blogging to a whole new level of awesomeness. Everyone back in the day was totally flattered by WordPress’ default blog themes and the customization they allowed.

WordPress has done it, yet again. This time for websites! Designing a website has never been easier. Branding Agency, Dubai based e-shops, professional web development service providers, and many more businesses turn to WordPress to get an online presence and market their products. WordPress is by far the smoothest of all content management systems. It has upheld its good name all these years. Here’s how they are pulling it off....

As one of the most successful premium theme shops in the business, Elegant Themes is best known for its top of the line themes and plugins. Even on this blog, we tend to talk about how best to use those themes and plugins (or themes and plugins like them) to get the most out of WordPress. But today, I’m going to do something a little bit different. I’m going to roundup some of my personal favorite, free WordPress themes.


The Best Free WordPress Themes Available in 2015The themes I’ve collected below are all available via the official WordPress plugin repository. I selected most of them based on a combination of their popularity, user rating, and design. Those that do not have particularly high download counts or that are relatively new and untested made the cut due to unique design and/or standout plugin compatibility....

8 Easy Ways To Speed Up WordPress

8 Easy Ways To Speed Up WordPress | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
If your website takes too long to load, it is costing you money.

That’s a fact.

Studies have shown that just a 1 second delay in loading time can cause a 7% loss of conversions.

Think about it like this:

If your website pulled in just under $3,300 per day, 1 second delay in loading time could be costing you over $90,000 per year.

3 seconds would be getting close to a loss of $300,000 per year.

WordPress 3.9 Has Built-in Support for Pasting from Microsoft Word

WordPress 3.9 Has Built-in Support for Pasting from Microsoft Word | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

A common support question that’s been popping up on the web after WordPress users update to 3.9: What happened to the “Paste from Word” button in the visual editor? If you find that the button is missing, don’t worry – it’s not a bug. Prior to this update, the button was located in the kitchen sink of the visual editor:


WordPress 3.9, however, removes the “paste from word” button entirely. It includes TinyMCE 4.0 and has better built-in support for pasting in blocks of text for Microsoft Word. The better your software gets, the more the magic happens behind the scenes. WordPress now detects if the pasted text is coming from MS Word and makes the appropriate changes.


Until I saw the question on Reddit, indicating that the button had gone missing, I had no idea that anyone still used this feature. The missing button is actually an enhancement, not a bug. Hopefully this information has reached you before you started deactivating all your plugins.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Just the best news for bloggers! Thanks WordPress!
