I also noticed that on other peoples email feeds, they changed from showing just the exerpt, to the whole post.</p> <p>Recently a friend questioned why I had the whole post in my feed. She argued that because she could read the whole post in the email, she didn't need to visit my site anymore. One less visitor to my site.</p> <p>I like to know which schools of though there are on this subject - pros &amp; cons etc. Do I leave my feed showing the complete post, or do I change it back to an excerpt?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Maria </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-to-include-videos-on-your-blogwebsite#post-2303 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 06:17:12 +0000 Angela 2303@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Is it better to create a separate Page for videos or just include them as part of your blog? What about showcasing videos on the right hand side of the page? I'd like to include more videos but I don't want to overwhelm my website or visitors to my website?

None of them really seem suitable for it. </p> <p>Or are there any other ways of sneaking it in?</p> <p><a href="http://www.mariastaal.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mariastaal.com</a></p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Maria </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/how-to-tweak-wp-themes#post-1988 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 07:52:25 +0000 SarahQT 1988@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I'd like to be able to "tweak" WordPress themes.

My site will be in English, but as some of my family and friends don't speak English that well, I was thinking of making it biligual.<br /> With that I don't mean the google thingy that can translate a site. That works, but as it directly translates English into Dutch it isn't much good. (Very funny, though...)</p> <p>I was thinking more of a plugin that enables my site to be read by visitors in either English or Dutch, by clicking on a little English or Dutch flag.</p> <p>Are people familiar with a plugin like that? Does it works? Does it slow the site up?<br /> I'd love to find out more about it. </p> <p>Maria </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/do-you-need-all-of-the-social-icons-on-your-blog#post-1513 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:09:28 +0000 RalphZ 1513@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>I noticed a lot of blogs have a ton of social media icons them. Is this necessary? I think it clutters the blog. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/building-a-template#post-1425 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:05:13 +0000 Angela 1425@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Could you use WordPress to build your own template or do you have to use a pre-existing WordPress template and have someone tweak it for you? Thanks </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/is-it-good-to-have-a-landing-page-for-your-blog#post-1383 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:59:40 +0000 Angela 1383@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Ok, my friend uses Linkreferral (I saw something about it on the forum) to drive traffic to her website. Someone reviewed her website which is a blog. The commenter remarked that no one will read a "home page" that has a bunch of text on it. But that's what a blog is. When you visit blogs, the "blog" is what shows up not a landing page. Should a blog have a landing page? Any thoughts on this... </p>
