Customize WordPress With Four Easy-To-Add Scripts
Rochester OliveiraProbably at some point you wanted to customize things in WordPress instead of using the "default" for every page. Like a pretty image gallery in a few posts, a syntax highlighter for your tutorial category or a demo page for your tutorials. Well all those things break the standard, so people will see it as "impossible" to change. Should you put the following scripts on every page? No. That would be a waste of resources, since you'll load a lot of useful things many times. Should you put them directly in your content (dear lord, please, don't ever do this)? This would be really hard to maintain, since every simple change would be a big waste of time because you would have to make those changes post by post.

The Most Effective Tools To Enrich Reader Engagement On Your Site
What do we mean when talking about reader engagement? Well, in terms of blogging the first things that come to mind are comments, sharing, questions, conversion rates. To sum up we could compare reader engagement with building a community. A community where readers care about each other, where action doesn't stop after reading the final paragraph and where exciting discussions are born. Unfortunately, good content and neat design aren't the only factors which affect reader engagement. You need to learn to focus readers attention and start a conversation. Developing an engagement is a win-win situation. Your visitors will want to explore more and join the conversation but you, as the publisher, will be looking at higher conversion rates.
