How You write articles

  • I plan I writing some articles on my site and I would just like input on how some of you guys and gals write articles on your wordpress site?

    I originally thought of making a category called Articles and then writing them as post in that category, but then I got to thinking is there another way perhaps.

    So my point is, is this the way to do it or is there a better / different way?

    Thanks

  • What would be the difference between your “normal” posts and the planned “articles”?
    (btw, there is no general rule – it all depends on your blog)

    Most folks simply create categories about what they will be writing about and then write posts to a specific category.
    There are many other ways, however.
    Do a google on “WordPress sites” for some examples.

    Hi jpconcepts,
    While I am relatively new to blogging (and totally new to WordPress) I have been writing articles for web sites for at least 8 years. The guideline that I am using to distinguish between what I write for a blog vs a website is what I’ll call lifespan. For example a basic reference article can be good for years but a short article about a cool youtube video is perhaps timely only for a month or so. Of course if a blog is your only vehicle then everything you write will go there.

    There aren’t really any rules as to length but blog entries do tend to be shorter than feature articles.

    And I do use categories since I will be writing on several different topics and categories will help visitors find the subject matter they are most interested in.

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    Jim.
