This is to give more detailed information on the features that are included with our basic blog setup for small and large businesses, or for personal use. In case of any upgrades or changes, this post will be updated with the most recent information.
These features are included wherever they are applicable, so long the necessary relevant information has been provided.
Admin Area – Your blog comes with a professional admin area, and a central control area known as a dashboard. This is your “back office” where you can make changes, adjust settings, and administer your blog. Once the setup of your blog is complete, we will give you login information so that you can enter your dashboard area whenever you need to, in order to update or modify your blog.
A Variety of Blog Themes to Choose From – The theme of your blog is its overall design, general layout, coloring, look, and feel. You will be able to choose from hundreds themes for your blog, or you can let us choose the theme we think is best. For some premium themes, prices may vary slightly.
Full Subscription Setup – Your blog will be set up with a full subscription service so that your visitors can choose to be notified whenever you post on your blog. They can choose to be notified by email, or by RSS (RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication).
Automatic DataBase Backup – A backup file of your blog’s content can be set up to be sent to you regularly by email.
Comment Moderation – You will have the option to moderate all comments that are left on your blog. This means that when a visitor leaves a comment, you can chose to approve or disapprove it, before it is published.
Anti-Spam – Your blog will be programmed to detect spam comments and protect you from them. You will have the option to view these comments if you like, in order to verify that they are spam. (Usually spam comments are marked accordingly by your blog, but occasionally a valid comment is labeled as spam, in which case you will have the option to manually approve it for posting.)
Broken Link Checker – When one of your posts contains a broken link (a link which leads nowhere, which can occur due to typographical errors or because the page that the link leads to has moved), you will be notified of this on your dashboard. Any time you log on, you will be able to see any broken links and repair them rapidly and easily.
Web Stats and Analytics – Your blog will be tracked by popular and well-established web analytics and analysis tools so that you can see how much traffic you are getting, where your traffic is coming from, and more.
Automatic Sitemap Generator – Your blog will be set up to generate and automatically update its own sitemap.
Sitemap Submission Your sitemap will be submitted to Google so that your pages can be found and easily indexed in by Google’s Search Engine.
Social Networking Integration – At the bottom of each blog post, a small button or group of buttons can appear which allows your visitors to easily share your content with others, by email or by using social networks and social bookmarking sites. (This is optional and may not apply to some designs).
Twitter Updates – If you have a Twitter account, you can set your blog up to post a notification on Twitter every time you add a new post.
Facebook Updates – Allows you to have your blog automatically post a link to new entries on your Facebook account whenever you add a new post.
Subscribe to Comments – When a visitor comments on one of your blog posts, this feature allows them to subscribe to be informed by email, whenever a new comment is made on that post.
Comment Editor – Allows your visitors to edit their comments after they have submitted them.
Theme Authenticity Checker – In case you choose to add new themes to your blog in the future (other than those we have already loaded) this feature will allow you to check those themes for malicious or troublesome code.
Privacy Policy and Disclaimer - If needed, we can create a Privacy Policy and/or Disclaimer page for your blog. (This does not constitute legal advice and is used at your own discretion.)
Search Engine Optimization – Your blog will be optimized for Search Engines in the following manner:
Each post will have meta data created automatically. This helps your content be found more easily when internet users search for related terms online. This meta data includes your post title, description, and keywords. You will also have the option of manually entering your own title, description, and keywords, or your blog will create it for you automatically based on the titles and content of your posts.
Automatic tagging. When we have a list of keywords related to your blog’s subject matter, we can set your blog up to automatically add those keywords to your posts whenever the same words occur within the body of the text. The keywords can be added both as tags (visible to the visitor) and keywords (only visible to Search Engines and important for SEO). Please note, this feature only works with compatible themes.
Your blog will be programmed to notify, or “ping” numerous other blog-related websites whenever you publish a new post. This helps you to get more traffic to your blog. We will also program your blog so that no “over-pinging” occurs when you edit your posts or if you create many posts in a short time period.
Additional SEO features will be set up which might be difficult to understand (and possibly uninteresting) for clients with limited technical knowledge in this field. If you would like further information on these, please contact us.
Centralized Plugin Management – Many of the above functions are performed by small software elements called “plugins.” These plugins need to be updated from time to time, and as you become more familiar with blogging, you might find that you want to install new plugins. Your blog will have a centralized plugin management area where you can easily add and update plugins.
(Note: The plugins we configure for your blog are created by individual developers. After your blog is turned over to you, you will be responsible for ensuring that your website and its software is updated regularly. This is not difficult. Additionally, we can provide no warranty or future guarantees regarding your website’s software or related plugins.)
One Month Free Support – After your blog is set up, you may have questions or need advice about how to perform different tasks within your admin panel. Feel free to email us with any questions you have and we will do everything we can to assist you.
Additional Features As Applicable – Dependent on the nature of your business or website, we may choose to install additional features which we think would be appropriate and useful for your blog.
