    Hi All,

    I have been working on a list-post which spans over 100 items. Each item on the list has a quick blurb to explain it, an image and a few resource links.

    I am trying to find an attractive way to present this long list post in Wordpress.

    I have seen several sites with long list posts however; they place their items one on top of the other which yields a VERY long page and the end user has to do a lot of scrolling.  Others turn their lists into slideshows, but I have no data on how slides perform against 10-mile-long-lists which load in 1 page.

    I would like to do something similar to what List25.com does as they present about 5-10 items per page and they seem to have pagination.

    The pagination part I understand however; is there a shortcode plugin to format lists in an attractive way just like list25?

        Thank you Dan!  I tried both and shortcodes-ultimate has heading styles that come very close to what I am trying to accomplish.

        Shortcodes-ultimate coupled with some css styling for my tag helped me accomplish my goal.  I just created a dummy-post in list format and the content looks great!

        Thanks Again!

          I am not aware of a plugin that does this thing exactly. You may want to look into general shortcode plugins that have a whole variety of shortcodes and maybe within them you will find something that does what you are looking for - I wouls start with these;

            Hi, Ivan,

            I believe there's no built-in shortcodes to display posts like list25.com, unless they're hosted in wordpress.com (http://en.support.wordpress.com/display-posts-shortcode/), or use plugin like "Display Posts Shortcode": http://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/.

            And no matter what a shortcode can do, you still need to customize the CSS to make it go with your theme.

            Good luck!

              Thank you for the input Yoren.c

              I suspected list25.com was using something custom in their loop; however, is that some sort of shortcode?

              If possible I'd like to find something I could use to style my lists in an attractive way (like a shortcode) without having to play too much with loop/css customization, although I am willing to go that extra mile if that's what it takes.

                Hi, Ivan,

                Based on my knowledge about WordPress, I think List25.com just use standard loop for the posts, and style the first one different from others.

                As to the post lists on left or right sidebar, you could use plugin like "WordPress Popular Posts": http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/ or "Ultimate Posts Widget": http://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-posts-widget/ to accomplish.

                  What should I name my Wordpress homepage?

                  I work almost exclusively in wordpress now. And I always hesitate when it comes to naming a site's homepage. I have to give it a name -  right? I usually pick the business name or /home. And then that is identifies as the site's static homepage in the Wordpress settings and it works just fine. But I've started to get warning that it is an issue because it creates redirects.  For example, I just ran the Ryte service analysis on a website and it warned me about "Non-indexable pages with high relevance" and it's basically my homepage that has 29 incoming links that "passes all pagerank to https://ourdomain/home But what am I supposed to call my homepage if not "Home"? It's not like the old days where anyone has to type it in. The root domain loads the homepage just as it should. Can anybody advise me regarding best practices for what to name a Wordpress homepage for good SEO? With thanks in advance for your help.

                  Schema markup for products is missing "price": Is this bad?

                  Hey guys, So a current client of mine has an e-commerce shop with a few hundred products. They purposely choose to keep the prices off of their website, which is causing errors in Google Webmaster Tools. Basically the error shows: Error: Structured Data > Product (markup: schema.org) Error type: missing price 208 items with error Is this a huge deal? Or are we allowed to have non-numerical prices for schema ie. "call for quote"

                  Magento Dublicate Content (Noindex and Rel"canonical")

                  Hi All, Just looking for some advice regarding my website on magento. We by mistake didnt enable canonical tags and noindex tags so had a big problem with dublicate content from filter pages but also have URLs to Cats as Yes so this didnt help with not having canonical tags enabled. We now have everything enabled for a few weeks now but dont see much drop in indexed pages in google. (currently 27k and we have only 5k products) My question basically is how do we speed up noindexation of dublicate content and also would you change URL to cats as No so google just now sees the url to products? (my concerns with this is would leaving it to Yes help because it will hopefully read the canonical tags on products now) Thank you in advance Michael

                  Hi I am optimising a new site that has been built in Wordpress using Pods.  The Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin is not recognising any content on the site - has anyone any ideas on how to get around this - does it matter - is it the plugin that is at fault rahter than the set up of the site?

                  Wordpress "incoming search terms" plugin

                  Hello everyone! newbie to SEO and have been trying to keep everything nice and ethical but I've seen on a couple of blogs today "incoming search terms" at the bottom of the blogs, then a bullet pointed list of search terms  beneath it. So I had a quick search about the use of it and noticed wordpress has a plugin that automatic ally generates these "incoming search terms". I ask is this a legitimate plugin or will this harm my blog? I assume it generally will as I can't see this being much use for the audience, rather it would be 100% for trying to lure in search engines.

                  How do you mark a quote HTML wise?

                  Hi, As far as I know, in the past Italic was used to emphasize (similar use to Bold). Now I've seen people use Italic for quotations. Is that the correct thing to do for an entire paragraph or is it a problem for Google wise? Thanks

                  Should we use "and" or "&"?

                  Our client has an ampersand in their brand name.  The logo has "&", their url is spelled out.  I'm trying to get them to standardize the use of the name for directories/listings.  Should we use "and" or "&"?
