Best Wordpress theme for blogging
-
Hi all,
What is the best Wordpress theme for a professional DM blog? I am looking for something minimalistic where I can add my personal profile and have articles nicely listed, potentially grouped within categories.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

SparkleStore is the Best Wordpress theme, see currently im using this theme for my Blog Best Interior Designers Blog

"My Blog Tech" for me is the best version, in fact looks very nice, one thing of themeforest, that I don't like, is all the themes looks the same, for me is very hard to choose one, all have excellent color combination or font combination, but if you have some experience in 2 or seconds can recognize it.
Thats wht I prefer "My Blog Tech" simple and effective
Note. Keep me updated with progress of your website will be a pleasure if I can help you.

Hi Moe,
Wooow! It's really beautiful and it looks incredibly professional! So professional that it makes me feel I might not be ready for something that cool. I will need to see how I can simplify it as most demos come very rich and I would like to start very plain and simple. Thanks so much for your suggestion!

Thanks Roman,
You are right, Pluto is really nice, but I am not sure if it would work for a DM blog. It looks awesome for recipes, possibly would for fashion or interior design. I think Writing lacks something but Newspaper looks like it offers many options. I will definitely consider this.
What do you think about MyBlog? https://demo.mythemeshop.com/s/?theme=MyBlog
Thanks.

Avada theme is a really comprehensive one. It has been used for more than a few years which is really nice when you're looking for support as most question will have been already answered. It works very well with Wordpress and comes integrated with page builders and sliders.
The reason why I also really like it is because you can install your favorite demo, and just work over the existing content rather than starting from scratch, but even then with fusion page builder it takes a few minutes to build a page layout with drag and drop. Also, once you install the theme you'll basically have instruction videos with-in the theme settings for most set-up tasks or questions.
I recommend checking out the demos so you can understand the features available with in.

Ok this is just my personal opinion on themeforest
Newspaper
https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
has many options but was created for big publishers so in my case is the best option
for a personal blog but always use for project and clientsWriting Blog

Blog.site.com vs site.com/blog
Which is better for SEO: blog.site.com or site.com/blog. In other words, is it better to have the blog running in a subdomain or as a director within the main site? Right now we are running as a subdomain, but want to be sure Google isn't considering that a separate site. The blog shows up separately on Google Analytics, which makes me think site.com/blog is better if for no other reason, it would give our domain greater traffic. Not sure if this matters, but some site info: our site is a sharing economy tool for renting your stuff we are running the blog on Wordpress blog traffic is about 5% of total traffic

How Are You Handling Blog Posts/Author Pages when Employees Leave the Company?
What do you believe to be the best approach in handling blog content for employees once they have left the company? We don’t want to remove the blog posts so they need to stay, but then there are the author pages. This gets tricky because the CMS ties the blog post to the author. One approach might be to change the author’s name to the Company’s name to get around author pages for people no longer with the company. It’s kind of tricky because the blog posts won’t have the same credibility if they don’t have a person’s name/photo associated with the post. We could leave the blogger’s page and list him as a “Contributing Author” once he’s left the company. Thoughts?

Wordpress Blog Pages, Duplicate Title Tag
Anyone have any experience in fixing the duplicate Title tag on a Wordpress blog multiple pages Basically the title tag remains the same on the pages /Blog/ /Blog/Page/2/ /Blog/Page/3/ My good friend Yoast Plugin doesn't seem to of resolved this (Unless i have missed something?) I don't really see this to be effecting anything and wouldn't of through it would either, but it would be nice to not see the notification within Moz site crawls and campaigns etc, its more of a cosmetic problem Any solutions ? Thanks James

How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?
I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2,500 Word blog post? What's your advice?
Most of my blog posts end up being 400-600 words, sometimes more, sometimes less. I have written one that is 2,500 words this time. If it were you, would you make one huge post, or split it into two or three? Or would you say it wholly depends on my site and the type of content? As far as link bait goes, one page is better . . . I guess. But would anyone ever read a 2,500 word blog post, even it it's about a subject he/she is interested in? Additionally, what's better for SEO? Just wants some second opinions. Thanks!

Simple question: How many words optimal for blog posts
Hello, We're adding a blog to one of our sites. How many words should be in a blog post for it to be optimal for the search engines? If it varies from industry to industry, please give a couple of examples. We were going to do 500 words but that seems a bit long. Thanks!

Blog for SEO: embedded in the site or separate
Hello, For both ecommerce and sites that sell services, I've seen a lot of people recommending a blog for SEO. Should this blog be inside or separate from the main website for the most results? I can see how adding one to a site would create more unique content and an opportunity for link bait, but perhaps there is a reason to have a blog separate from the main site Thank you.
