What is the most romantic thing you can do this Valentines day? Well coming along to the Melbourne WordPress Meetup to hear me talk about how to “Attract more love to your WordPress Content”.
Why let the advertising industry tell you how to express your love? Book in a weekly date with your lover and then bring them along to the meetup.
You will both love it. And yes we will be serving cheeze on the pizzas.
Attract more love with alluring WordPress copy
Glenn Todd (upskill.coach) will introduce the concepts of writing for the web with the aim of seducing people to read/absorb more of your written content. From there he will discuss best practice for adding written content into WordPress, formatting for 1000’s of devices and screens, future proofing and optimising for google.

Formatting and Information Design
- Good old fashioned copywriting
- Inverted pyramid
- TL;DR
- Short paragraphs
- Lots of smart sub headings
- Brief as possible > lists
- Images > informational, info-graphics, aesthetics
Typography and Graphic Design
- easy to read font – fancy for heading – default if unsure
- font size – larger for intro
- Line spacing
- contrast and clean background
- bold/ colours > less is more
- links – clear – underline
- formatting via css – no editor
Lets get more geeky
- how many devices and screen shapes and sizes doe sour content be consumed on?
- how many new (maybe revolutionary) devices and screen shapes and sizes to be released in 2018/19
- Semantic HTML – machine readable formatting – eg google
- style sheets – future design
WordPress Editor
- applying these lessons
- copy and paste
