Tips to Make Your Posts More Read-a-ble

In this post, we’ll look at a couple of examples that can be used to make a blog post more scannable and easier to read. Things we’ll discuss include:

  • using blockquotes
  • including photos
  • including lists

The Purpose of the Blockquote

The blockquote is something that is used in virtually every type of printed media. From magazines, to websites, books, to newspapers, it’s a very well traveled path and it’s very effective to both separate what someone else has said and bring extra attention to the statement.

Different Styles for Photos

focusIn whatever theme I use, I like to control how my photos display by assigning a class to the different ways I’ll want them to fit within the post. I set mine up very similar to the way they are in the popular Cutline theme.

Using Ordered and Unordered Lists

First of all, what is the difference between and Ordered and an Unordered List? An ordered list is a list that is numbered. In other words, you style the list as “ordered”, and the numbers will automatically be there.

  1. lists
  2. photos
  3. blockquotes

On the other hand, an unordered list is a list that has no numbers. Most of the time, the list has bullets instead.

  • photos
  • blockquotes

Welcome to My New Demo Site!

Themes by Antbag will be a place where I will provide a demo for my themes. Up to this point, I’ve relied on the Wordpress Theme Viewer to provide both demos and downloads of my themes. While that was very convenient for me, I’ve realized that it’s probably not the best method. Not only do those running the Theme Viewer have complete control of whether or not my themes continue to be available, they are undergoing some major changes on the site.

So I’ve decided to make my own “theme viewer” as many other Wordpress Designers already have. I hope to continue using the Wordpress Theme Viewer as an added tool, but I will consider this site as the primary hot spot for demoing Themes by Antbag!
