On-Page SEO

Metadata – Allow you to tell the search engines what your web page is about.

Heading Summary – These tags not only help human readers read the content, they also help search engine spiders better understand the content on a page and what is most important.

Image Summary – HTML helps address this issue by providing a way to specify the textual content for an image using the “alt” attribute. The alt attribute allows web pages to assign specific text as the “alternative” content for images for those that cannot view the images themselves. This can be search engine crawlers or text-only web browsers.

Step 1

The first thing we want to do is create a new document with the dimensions of 1024×1200.

Step 2

Using your Paint Bucket Tool from your tool pallet, fill your background layer with #3E4C54

Step 3

Next lets use our Rectangle Marquee Tool to make a selection similar to the following and fill it with #1F2B33. This will represent our headers background

Step 4

On this layer we want to add some blending options, so go to your layers pallet and Right Click your layer and choose Blending Options from the drop down menu and insert the following

Step 5

Time to move onto a couple links for our header. This is where our page links will be displayed. Using your Rectangle Marquee Tool make a selection similar to the following and fill it with #FC4F83

Step 6

Next make 2 more boxes of equal size with a fill color of #27343C. Then you can add some text with the color #FFFFFF to your buttons similar to the following

Step 7

Keeping with the simple nature of this layout, our logo won’t be too flashy. For the logo, I used the font Helvetica Neu, set to bold, with the anti-alias set to strong. I used #FFFFFF for the “Your” and “Gallery“, and for “Photo” I used the color #FC4F83. For the tagline I used the color #B1D4E8. When it’s all said and done, you should have something that looks like this

Step 8

Now it is time to get the sidebar out of the way. Using your Rounded Rectangle Tool with a radius set to 10px, and a foreground color of #ECF1F3, make a rectangle similar to the following

Step 9

We now want to create our link units for our Category box, and our Highest Rated image box. Using your Rectangle Marquee Tool make a selection similar to the following and fill it with #000000

Step 10

Next, insert the following blending options onto it’s layer

Step 11

Now just use your text tool to add the heading “Categories” and you should have something that looks like this by now.

As a blogger, there are many different ways you can promote your website through Twitter.Here are 5 ways to market your blog with Twitter.

Promote your blog posts.

Use your Twitter account to share posts with your followers. There’s several different Twitter applications available that will automatically update your Twitter status when you publish a blog post. The power of it comes when your followers then share/retweet your blog post to their followers.

Involve your followers.

Twitter ultimately comes down to interaction. You’re not going to get more page views by just telling your followers to check out your new post. Pose a question or target your followers in a way that will spark discussion. Engage your followers!

Put a Twitter app on your blog.

Many bloggers are very active on Twitter, yet much of their audience doesn’t know it because there’s no place to show it on their blog. Put a Twitter widget with recent Tweets or a link on your blog that points people to your profile.

Interact with other bloggers in your niche.

Although it may not seem relevant to promoting your blog, it’s important to network with other bloggers and even promote their work. The better relationship you have with fellow bloggers and the more you share their work, the more likely they’ll be to share yours.

Offer incentives to your Twitter followers.

Doing regular contests and giveaways are the easiest ways to get easy traffic to your blog. Giveaways and deals are one of the most shared types of tweets on Twitter and as long as you’re giving away something interesting, then you’re sure to get traffic to your blog.

I consider Nate and his team the preeminent WordPress blog theme designers and pretty much all my recent design work has been done by them.

A custom blog theme is not essential for success as a blogger, but it certainly helps. Having your own theme, something you are proud of that uniquely identifies you and/or your brand, gives you a sense of ownership, which is actually a motivating factor – it makes you want to blog more often.

Completely custom themes can be expensive, so the next best option is to buy a unique theme, which won’t be universally unique to you, but not many people will use it because it requires a small investment to purchase. Buying a theme is a great way to get something that looks good, is almost unique and helps your blog stand out from the rest.
