Using the Blocks element in WordPress

You need dedication and persistence to understand WordPress

Learning WordPress is easy as long as you are willing to commit a few hours each day for a week. You would need some very basic search skills (i.e know how to use search engines like Google), and the ability to follow instructions. No, you don’t need to know HTML or other programming languages to code a website.

So instead of taking screenshots of images on social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, you can embed posts.

When you embed posts from social media, your readers can click on these posts and it will take them directly to the embedded post. For example, when you click the embedded post above, it takes you to Free Surge’s Instagram account. Do this right now and remember to like and comment.

The above is a PULLQOUTE, you will use this WordPress block to emphasize a quote in your article. For example, one of the biggest key points of your article.

Remember to keep your paragraphs short and straight to the point

Since you are pasting in blocks it’s easy to write short paragraphs and move your next key point to the next paragraph. I cannot overemphasize writing short paragraphs. It is very important for SEO.

As Google is trying to mimic a human-like experience, writing clear paragraphs is really important for SEO as well. Google wants to present the user with well-written text. Google wants the reader to be able to understand the text.

We will.be talking more about SEO in subsequent classes, starting on Monday. An SEO-optimized post helps readers to find your articles easily. I will say the major reason why you are writing these articles is to add value to the web. For people to be able to find your articles easily using their search words.

SEO IS BROAD, we will be touching all the basics in subsequent classes

One of the main reasons we are having this internship for writers is so that you can write SEO-optimized articles. There’s no point in writing articles that would not be found online.
