Summary

This chapter demonstrated how to change the face of your blog to make your site more appealing to your visitors. I’ve shown you how to add pertinent information to enhance the readers’ experience of your site. All of this has been about the front page of your blog. This is important, as it is the first impression your first-time visitor gets. But you can go much further.

WordPress can do a lot more to enhance your visitors’ time on your site. It can help you keep your readers engaged by presenting the right information at the right time. In the next chapter, I will show you how to change the appearance of the blog depending on the page being viewed and include different content on different pages. I will also introduce more plug-ins to enhance the readers’ experience.
