Before Publishing a Blog
So you’re ready to publish your blog! Make sure it’s 100% ready before you follow the publishing process. Here are seven things to do before publishing your blog.
- Edit and proofread: Carefully edit and proofread your blog post to ensure that it is free of errors and easy to read.
- Use images and other media: Include relevant and visually appealing images and other media, such as videos or infographics, to enhance the reader's experience.
- Optimize for search engines: Use relevant keywords and phrases in your blog post to optimize it for search engines and make it more likely to be found by readers.
- Link to other sources: If you reference other sources in your blog post, be sure to include hyperlinks to those sources.
- Choose a catchy headline: A catchy and informative headline can help grab the reader's attention and encourage them to read your blog post.
- Use subheadings and formatting: Use subheadings and formatting, such as bullet points and bold or italicized text, to make your blog post easy to scan and read.
- Preview and test: Preview your blog post to make sure it looks the way you want it to, and test any links or media to ensure they are working properly.
WordPress Publishing Process
At our company, we use WordPress as our blogging platform. This standard operating procedure (SOP) outlines the steps that we follow to publish a blog post in WordPress.
To publish a blog:
- Log in to WordPress using our unique username and password.
- Navigate to the "Posts" section of the WordPress dashboard, and click on the "Add New" button to create a new blog post.
- Enter the title and content of the blog post in the WordPress editor, and format the text, add images, and include any relevant links or external sources.
- Preview the blog post to ensure that it is accurate and well-formatted, and that it meets our editorial standards.
- Publish the blog post by clicking on the "Publish" button, and select the appropriate date and time for the blog post to be published.
- Review the published blog post to ensure that it is visible and accessible on our website, and share the blog post on social media and other channels to promote it to our audience.
By following this SOP, we will ensure that our blog posts are published accurately and efficiently in WordPress.
