听起来不错？让我们开始吧。
What Is a WordPress Blog Page?
A WordPress blog page is a page on a WordPress website that displays posts in reverse chronological order, with the most recent post at the top of the page. The page is usually called the “blog” or “news” page and is often the main page of a WordPress website.
You can use a blog page to share updates, news, stories, and other information with website visitors. A blog posts page typically includes the following web design elements:
- Navigation menu
- Blog posts list
- 页脚
We also recommend having a sidebar to showcase your most popular posts, a newsletter subscription form, and even ads from Google AdSense or Google AdSense alternatives.
Blog pages are a common feature of WordPress websites and are easy to set up and customize. You can use the built-in WordPress editor to add and format your blog posts. But if you want to customize the blog page itself, you can use WordPress plugins to add features and functionality.
Why Create a Blog Page on WordPress?
There are many reasons why you might want to create a blog page on your WordPress website. Here are a few:
- Share updates and news with your audience: A blog page is a great way to share updates, news, and other information with your website visitors. You can use it to keep them informed about what’s going on with your business, organization, or personal life.
- Engage with your audience: By allowing comments on your blog posts, you can encourage your visitors to share their thoughts and ideas with you and with each other.
- Improve your website’s search engine rankings: Search engines, like Google, tend to favor websites that have fresh, regularly-updated content. By regularly publishing blog posts, you can help your website rank higher in search engine results.
- Establish yourself as an authority in your field: If you are knowledgeable about a particular topic, a blog can be a great way to share your expertise with others and establish yourself as an authority in your field.
- Monetize your website: If you have a large and engaged audience, you may be able to monetize your blog by selling advertising space or promoting products or services.
In short, a blog page can be a valuable addition to any WordPress website, whether you are using it for personal or professional purposes. If you’re not sure where to get started, you should check out our article on how to create a website.
How to Create a Blog Page on WordPress with a Page Builder
One of the easiest ways to create a blog page on WordPress is to use a WordPress page builder plugin. We recommend using SeedProd.
SeedProd 是创建高转化率着陆页的最佳 WordPress 插件。
您将获得一个拖放式着陆页构建器，其中包含用于构建电子商务页面和着陆页的各种选项。与 WordPress 网站构建器不同，您可以自定义着陆页的每一个细节，包括导航菜单、页脚和样式。SeedProd 还可以与任何 WordPress 主题配合使用，并创建移动友好型着陆页。
使用 SeedPreed，您将获得预制的高转化率着陆页模板，可以立即发布。这包括以下模板：
And lots more! We love using SeedProd and we even wrote an in-depth review of the SeedProd plugin. Go ahead and check that out!
步骤 #1：在您的网站上安装 SeedProd 插件
First, you’ll need to visit the SeedProd website and purchase the plugin. Then, you can download the plugin file to your computer. Then, copy the plugin license key from your SeedProd dashboard.
Next, you’ll have to log into your WordPress dashboard and install the plugin. If you need detailed instructions, check out this step-by-step guide to installing a WordPress plugin. Head over to the SeedProd plugin welcome screen on WordPress and verify your license key:
After your account is verified, you’re ready to create a blog page on WordPress.
Step #2. Choose a Starter Theme Template
Head over to SeedProd » Theme Builder in your WordPress dashboard:
Here, you can select a starter theme with SeedProd. You can create a custom theme using SeedProd very easily. But for now, we’re going to select a pre-built template. Click on the Themes button and select your starter theme.
After choosing a theme, SeedProd will automatically create all the theme templates. From here, you can edit each template using the drag-and-drop editor. Each page is set up automatically with an attractive layout and placeholder content ready for you to customize.
Here, you can choose to customize every part of your theme. We recommend customizing your home page first, but for this article, we’re going to skip ahead and go straight for the blog page.
Step #3. Customize Your Blog Page
SeedProd’s theme builder comes with many ways to customize your blog page. Click the Edit Design link on the Blog Page template file to get started:
It’s super easy to customize the blog page using the SeedProd builder. All you have to do is click on an element and edit it:
SeedProd offers several blocks you can use on your blog page. The most important is the Posts block which shows a list of recent blog posts.
You can change the layout of the Posts block easily by clicking it and choosing different settings in the left-hand panel.
If you scroll through the block settings, you’ll see other toggles to show or hide:
- Featured image
- Read more text
- Pagination
- Meta information
These settings allow you to display your blog posts to best suit your target audience. When you’re done customizing your page, click on Save. Then, click on the dropdown arrow next to the Save button and hit Publish:
Step #4: Add a Click to Subscribe Button to Your Blog Page
You can also add a click to subscribe button to collect push notification subscribers. Push notifications are a great way to increase your repeat traffic, get more engagement and even sell official merch if you have some.
In SeedProd, just drag and drop the Custom HTML module from the sidebar.
We’ve put the subscribe button directly underneath the blog title in the first fold.
But you can insert the button anywhere you like.
For this part, you need some experience with HTML and CSS. Or, you can copy this code and paste it into your Custom HTML block:
<button onclick="subscribeOnClickButton()" style="border: none; padding-left: 5%; padding-right:5%; text-align: center; display: inline-block; color: blue;">Get Updates via Push Notifications</button>That’s a standard button in HTML with very little styling. The only fancy bit is the onclickfunction in the code. It basically means that your visitors can click on the button to subscribe to something. Now, we need to give the button some extra code to allow your visitors to subscribe to push notifications.
前往 PushEngage 主页，然后点击“开始使用”按钮：
然后，您可以选择免费计划来试用 PushEngage，或者如果您想认真发展您的业务，可以选择付费计划。付费计划提供更多的营销活动选项，并能够建立更大的订阅用户列表。
在您的 PushEngage 仪表板中，转到“网站设置”»“网站详细信息”，然后点击“单击此处获取设置说明”按钮。在“任何网站”下，您将获得安装代码：
警告：您需要复制从仪表板获取的代码。该代码对于每个 PushEngage 用户都是唯一的。您将无法复制图像中的代码并收集推送通知订阅者。
在您的 PushEngage 仪表板中获取代码后，将此代码段添加到您的代码中：
<script> window._peq = window._peq || [];</script> <script>
function subscribeOnClickButton(){
window._peq.push(['subscribe',{}.pe,function(res){
if(res.statuscode==1)
{
// Code to return response
console.log(res);
}
}]);
}
</script>您的最终代码应如下所示：
<script src="https://clientcdn.pushengage.com/core/02a6e92667ae2279fcba8932356c1d93.js" async></script>
<script> window._peq = window._peq || [];</script> <script>
function subscribeOnClickButton(){
window._peq.push(['subscribe',{}.pe,function(res){
if(res.statuscode==1)
{
// Code to return response
console.log(res);
}
}]);
}
</script>You’ll want to add this code to the HTML block in your landing page after the code for the button. It should look something like this:
Feel free to customize the styles for the button any way you please. When you’re done customizing your blog page, go ahead and hit the Save button.
