7. Google XML Sitemaps Plugin This is one of my favorite Plugins, its Rated 5 on 5 by over 3000 users, downloaded over 10 million times.The XML Sitemaps plugin for WordPress will automatically generate XML Sitemaps for your site and notify search engines when they're updated.It automatically assigns the rate of updates and the weight based on statistics collected on your site. Contrary to other plugins that generate sitemap files, the xml sitemaps plugin will use the WP internals to determine the number of blog, category and tag pages on your site and also add a rewrite rule and store your cached sitemaps in the wp-content/sitemaps folder. Once you installed the plugin, you’re just required to build the sitemap for the first time – the plugin will keep maintaining the sitemap itself. 1 Share

Template rather, not theme I'm a newbie and I need a professional looking blogger template. I've visited many blogger sites and I've seen some very nice templates but I don't seem to be able to come across those online and if at all I see any, you can only get d complete features when you pay. I don't want to spend money on template for now as I am still trying out the whole blogging thing. But as soon as I have gotten just enough experience, I will migrate to wordpress. For now, I just need a very clean template, especially one that scrolls 'recent news images' on homepage, thank you! Tylive: |

most of these plugins come already installed in WordPress. and I'm not sure it's safe to use Google sitemap and yoast seo at the same time. since yoast does the work of Google sitemap. sumo me is great but the only feature I currently use there is the image sharer. 1 Like |

ITbomb:No website can ever be perfect, so let me just say my mind on everything i see bou d site. - The favicon and d site in general both have different colours, why? - The site Logo is too big and detailed - Talking about the navigation menus, why put 'home' on both the primary and the secondary navigation menus? - Remove this "ITy UNIT Tech, Tweaks, Free Browsing, Reviews, Android, Internet n Windows Solution Centre" at the top of the homepage. - Putting time on ur site is kinda archaic - You have two search boxes, one at the header, one on the widget - You have two Facebook like boxes, one on sidebar, one at the footer, why? - Then work more on ur seo, u av potentials Your site loads fast though..... 1 Like |

Yoast and analytic active at the same time? Do that and receive a warning immediately. Yoast does that job too, so why having two? |
