This article was written by Tom george, who is working as a .NET consultant. Tom helps people to choose the best wordpress hosting and best web hosting companies for their site.

In this article, I am going to show you 5 easy and simple, yet very effective ways to speed up your WordPress blog. If you apply these proven techniques in your blog, I can guarantee you huge increase in your WordPress Blog’s Speed, as these tricks have worked in my blog too.

Check the speed of your blog, before starting to read these article. You can check it from Google Page Speed or GTMetrix. Note down your speed score in a paper. Read this article carefully and apply these speed up techniques in your blog, and re-check the speed of your site from the above mentioned sites. I don’t need to say anything more. You yourself will see the huge increase in speed with your own eyes.

1) Always Use A Premium or a Custom Theme

Each and everyone who owns a blog uses a theme in their blog of their choice, but while choosing a theme, no one takes things much into consideration. You will probably say yes to a free theme, but I will say NO. Don’t use a free theme in your blog as they are no way optimized for speed. Always go for a paid or premium theme, or if you have knowledge about designing then definitely consider designing your own theme.

If  by chance you have no other way than using a free theme, then customize each and every element of your theme and optimize it for speed.

2)Use Minimum External Scripts

This is yet an another important factor that determines speed of your blog. Whatever web host you use, or whatever CDN do you pay for, too many external scripts can drastically slow down any blog’s speed. So, never get into the fascination of embedding too many external scripts in your site. This will do not much help to you but in turn will drastically comprise with your site’s speed.

Only use the most important and much necessary scripts like Facebook, Alexa, Google Analytics, etc in your blog. Try to realise what is more important, useless features or valuable speed.

3)Use Optimized Images

By optimized images, I mean to make your blog optimized for speed in terms of the images that you use. Always use scaled images in you blog. Never go for high resolution images, as they will do no good to you. Also remember never to use too many images in your blog unnecessarily. Google and Bing have oficially recommended to keep the size of you posts below 150kb and not use too many high resolution images in it unnecessarily. But if there is a need for it, then definitely go for it, but consider reducing the size of the images by a great tool named Yahoo! Smush.it.

4)Use a CDN

CDN is a Content Delivery Network, whose main aim is to speed up your site and improve it’s security with its simple yet fantastic technology. A CDN stores a copy of your site in its server’s that are widely distributed throughout the World, thereby making it easy for your visitors to fetch your site, and reduce the loading time of your site drastically.

To speed up a WordPress blog, there are many paid as well as free CDN’s. But I personally use and prefer CloudFlare, as it provides premium quality service for free. And setting up Cloudflare for you site is the easiest thing you can imagine. So dont wait for anything, go to the site, grab a free account, and start setting up Cloudflare for your blog.

5) Use Caching Plugins

Caching plugins claim to increase the speed of your WordPress blog, by even more than 10x. At least some plugin’s literally do so or even better. I personally have used many caching plugins in my blog, and found that W3 Total Cache stands out from the rest. It is a great plugin that effectively performs various nifty jobs like minifying your CSS, HTML, JS, object caching, leveraging WordPress caching, etc.

I personally recommend that each and every WordPress blog must use a caching plugin. And I personally recommend W3 Total Cache for its exquisite performance I myself have obtained in my own blog. Even Mashable uses this same plugin to speed up its own blog. So why shouldn’t you.

These quick, easy and simple techniques will help you to speed up your own blog. These techniques are very effective as I personally have tested them in my own blog and is very happy to increase my own blog’s speed with these. Share how much have you been able to speed up your WordPress Blog with the help of this article?

This post has written by Aritra Roy, who is an eminent blogger at daPazze, which is a Technology blog focusing on Blogging, SEO, Social Media, Tutorials and more.  He invites you to check his ultimate guide to speed up WordPress using 15 simple yet proven ways.

As WordPress gains more ground, every designer should know how to build a website with WordPress. There are various reasons why you need to know WordPress:

• There is no doubt that if you want to get a website that is design wise the best, it will cost you some money. But with WordPress you can design a decent website for a very low price. So money wise anyone from small scale to large scale companies can afford it.
• It does not take very long to build a WordPress website. A normal site will hardly take 2 to 3 working days or a week to the max. So if you need website quickly and you do not have time to wait then WordPress site is the right choice for them.
• WordPress can be customized and it has a very good CMS that can be easily managed. Moreover it offers a lot of free plug-ins, templates and skins that can also be customized and used according to your own will.

WordPress websites will not lose their popularity because it is hard to get so many features for free and moreover the development cost is quite cheap to the other technologies and platforms. WordPress designers will never lose their demand and as it is easy to learn so know WordPress and know more and increase your expertise.

Plugin currently has five predesigned Templates that you can customize through the admin area. Themes follow a basic structure which includes home page with slider, portfolio, contact form and blog section which picks your latest blog posts from WordPress and displays them on your Facebook Page. This is the feature that people like the most since it will keep your Fan Page updated with your latest news / posts.

Plugin uses widely used Nivo slideshow as an image rotator on front pages and lightbox for image presentations in Portfolio section of the site.

Every part of the Theme can be managed from WordPress Dashboard. You first select  the Theme you wish to use and then start editing the content.

First tag in administration is called Slider and is used to add, delete and edit images and text for your slideshow on front page (used in BlueStar, GrungeStar BlackStar and RedStar Themes). Images can be added with standard WordPress upload form. Add the title and content text and you are ready to go.

Main settings allow you to add label names of the main menu, add logo and edit text of your footer. Home page settings tab contains all the settings for portfolio items. You can add title, upload an image and enter your content text. Quotes from your customers and fans can be an important part of your branding and you can add them on your front page from the same administration panel.

Probably the most intriguing part of the template is the blog page. It will pull the content of your WordPress blog and display it on your Facebook Fan Page. This means you don’t have to worry about republishing content on your Facebook page since it will automatically update. You can set how many posts to display and whether to display title, date and images. If your post titles are long you can use the short title function to shorten them.

Contact form is built in every theme and is customizable. You can change text of all labels (name, email, message and send button). You can also add the title and some description text for your users and visitors.

After you have successfully managed the theme you can now easily add it to Facebook Page. Simply use the appropriate link that is provided at the top of the plugin and setup your Facebook Application with it.

PremiumCoding plans to include new Themes in the future (about five a year) and add more functionalities (based on customers demands and wishes).

You can read more about this premium WordPress plugin and check all the included designs and screenshots of administration panel on home page of WordPress Facebook Page Themes Plugin.

Free Content Helps to Attract Subscribers

A successful WordPress membership site needs a lot of free content. What is more, you need free content of really good quality because only then you will rank well in search engines and be popular on the Internet in general, which in turn helps people to notice you and brings them to your site where they (hopefully) turn into paid subscribers.

You can consider your free content as your ambassador – you can’t afford to have a poorly-looking and incompetent ambassador, can you? This is why you need to make any effort to produce free content and distribute it to places where it stands a better chance to be noticed. One of the best ways to make your free content popular online is to turn it into viral content.

How to Make Your Free Content Viral

When your free content gets viral, you do have a reason to celebrate. With viral content you get people to link to it and distribute it for free. They are doing this because they like the content and are glad to recommend it to their friends. Of course, not every piece of content you make has a viral potential and even if your content is really outstanding, still there is no guarantee it will become viral but if you want to increase the chance, here are some tips how to make your free content viral:

• Make it really interesting and useful. The first prerequisite for your content to become viral is that it needs to be interesting and useful. When an article, a video, or an image provides great value to the readers/viewers, it is more likely that they will share it with other people. Unfortunately, even if your content is really interesting and useful, you still can’t be sure it will get viral but life is like this.
• Submit it to social sites. Social sites are one of the places where there is a chance for your great content to be noticed. If you are lucky to get noticed by power users (i.e. users that have huge networks of friends), this seriously increases to chance for your content to get viral and be distributed all over the Web.
• Tell your friends about it. Don’t forget about your own friends and acquaintances. If the content is really valuable, send them links and ask them to share it with their friends and acquaintances.

These three steps don’t guarantee your content will become viral but if you don’t follow them, it is certain that it won’t go viral. It is true that some of the most popular viral content on the Net is of far from top quality and that many really good pieces don’t get the popularity they deserve but this mustn’t discourage you. Try as hard as you can to make your content viral and if you are lucky, you might achieve a real viral storm to your site. If you do, the results are very rewarding, so definitely it is worth the effort.

What are some solutions?  Many project managers rely on email, but when you have multiple projects, your inbox becomes overwhelming. There’s also the possibility of losing an important email to spam or an accidental deletion. One of the best ways to keep your projects organized and efficient is with WordPress. It doesn’t cost a cent and the following steps can show you how to get started with just a domain and a hosting account.

1. First, create subdomains for each of your projects.  To do this, use abbreviations to the make the titles of the subdomain relate to your customer or project.
2. Install WordPress into each subdomain’s directory.  For example: Client1.yourwebsite.com

Client2.yourwebsite.com

1. Download and install Inline-Google-Docs Plugin.  Google Documents holds a great deal of data and is extremely user-friendly. The plugin will make it easier to share the content from Google Documents onto the blog without having to change locations.
2. Download and install Member-Only Plugin.  This tool keeps your blog private, preventing anyone who is not logged in from having access to the site. With this plugin, you have complete control over who does and does not view the blog.  You can also customize what page a person is sent to after he/she logs in
3. Next, download and install WP-Task-Manager.  This step adds a task manager to the administration panel of your blog.  You will be able to manage your own tasks as well as the task you assign to your employees.  Also, this plugin allows you and your staff to discuss tasks through the comments.
4. Download and install Events-Calendar.  The calendar tool helps you monitor your schedule and meet your deadlines.
5. Download and install P2 Theme. This WordPress offers many useful features that let you write quick messages, make inline comments, post right on the homepage and a lot more.  It is similar to writing a post but the messages update constantly in real time.
6. Change your privacy settings.  Choose “I would like to block search engines but allow normal visitors” in the privacy setting.  Since you’re not trying to promote these areas of your website it’s best to block search engines from crawling these pages.

Managing your project with WordPress is a great way to stay organized and keep all the pieces of your project running smoothly.  These 8 simple steps can help you take an overwhelming task and turn it into an efficient system that allows your employees to communicate smoothly and meet their deadlines.
