Home page of your blog is really, really important. Although the home page may not be the first thing a visitor sees (think of a person by clicking on a link to your last post, for example), they can go to your home page later if they want to read more of your stuff.
The home page must be a fresh snapshot of your blog with content and links directly to some of the most interesting positions. Here are some things you should do with your home page to draw the attention of your visitors.
Not just a list of your last messages. Too boring. Try to view your last post, your author profile, a list of recent comments, your latest tweets, or a link to your ebook (if you have one). Keep things fresh by rotating things from time to time.
I highly recommend the framework of the (aff) Genesis - there are a lot of major themes which include a magazine-style home page.
I do not use the more adventurous disposition on the homepage of the Blog Tips-, but if you look at how is structured from the home page, you should be able to say that it is not simply a list of my latest posts. Well, most importantly, it is has a couple of bits I've slotted in manually.
Viewing a list of your most read messages or more tours is a great way to help the new or casual readers to find your best content. I installed just "positions popular WordPress" on my blog, but it did not collect data yet. I'll report back on this plugin, once I gave it a test appropriate.
I would like to know if you can recommend a good "popular posts" plugin for WordPress.
If the first post on your home page is not reading, you sell yourself short. Put a decent position at the top (or very close by) for those interested - and don't forget to rotate from time to time.
In an ideal world, I would say that you must make each position worthy of the best spot on your home page - but let's face, we can not write "best ever positions" all the time. We can try, but sometimes it just does that.
How to attract the attention of people on your home page?
