SEO For Blogs (ABCs Plus Basics for Websites and Blogs)

SEO For Blogs (ABCs Plus Basics for Websites and Blogs) Review



SEO Basics for Blogs - *This is a transcript from a podcast roundtable discussion* There is an extensive list of resources and links at the end of the book. Also, we aren't trying to sell you anything, isn't that refreshing?

Blogging ABCs hosts Deborah Carney, Tricia Meyer, Vinny O’Hare, are joined by guest Eric Nagel in a roundtable discussion about the basics of SEO tactics for bloggers. Eric supplied us with an excellent outline, there is excellent discussion on each of the bullet points, plus a ton of great stuff that came out within the discussion.

This is a transcript of a podcast, we know a lot of people prefer to read and not necessarily listen. Included are 17 pages of SEO basics that even some experienced webmasters may have forgotten. At the end of the book is a resources page with lots of great references for you to implement the tips with.

Keyword research - Take your idea, and think about how people are going to search for it

Title Tag - This should be your keyword. Don’t be cute here, the title tag in WordPress is inside an H1 tag, which helps with on-site SEO

Meta Description - sometimes used for the snippet shown in organic search results

Permalinks - Don’t use default of ?p=87 - Choose one of the options that has %postname%

Images - Don’t hotlink images - Use the Title, Alternate Text & Caption fields - Name the image with your keyword
ex: your-keyword-here.jpg

Social Sharing - Twitter and Facebook buttons

Your social circle influences Google search results

Sitemaps - several resources listed in the Appendix of the book

We even have a place where you can go and ask questions when you are finished reading the book.

iWrite: Using Blogs, Wikis, and Digital Stories in the English Classroom

iWrite: Using Blogs, Wikis, and Digital Stories in the English Classroom Review



"It's not that our students aren't reading and writing, but that where and what they are reading and writing is off the school radar. We can build a bridge between the literate lives of our students outside of school and the literacies we want to teach them."

--Dana J. Wilber

The power of Dana Wilber's insight is in its simplicity. Students are texting, networking, and blogging- i.e., writing and reading- all the time, everywhere, just maybe in places we aren't necessarily paying attention to. Build on their authentic interest and motivation using the technologies they are already committed to and you've won half the battle. You won't believe how engaged they are; they won't believe they're learning for school.

In iWrite, Dana shows you how to guide students through the complexity of new literacies, including:

  • how to discern between media
  • how to account for audience and voice
  • how to choose appropriate genre
  • and how to harness what they already know to be more successful in school.

Dana deftly elucidates the lives of Millennials, those students growing up around the turn of the 21st century, and the technologies embedded into their everyday reading and writing. She shows us how three accessible tools-wikis, blogs, and digital storytelling -can be used to scaffold learning for our students. And she demonstrates how they can help us address 10 key issues in the literacies of today's students:

oSafety

oAuthenticity

oPractice

oRelevance

oMeaning and identity

oInterest and inquiry

oCognitive development

oCommunity

oProcess

oMotivation


Let iWrite show you how to capture students' daily literacy practices and develop them for the kind of writing we want them to learn.

imagine...{Gods's Blogs} Insights from his site Review



How would you feel if you thought God was writing a personal note to you …on his website…and it was about some of the stuff that was making you wonder if he really existed at all. This book does make you feel….while it makes you think. Maybe God isn’t the person we thought He was. Maybe his thoughts aren’t what we have been taught.

God’s Blogs has some insightful new and fresh thoughts that help us to see more of God’s character, his love, and his grace as he reflects on his own thoughts about marriage, death, laughter, dads, and questions like "Why are we here", and what about Tsunamis and poverty?" A fascinating read that will make you laugh and cry and search your own thoughts about who He is.
