WordPress Semiologic Pro Theme Tip #2

Here is tip #2 on using the WYSIWYG editor of Semiologic Pro …

Give some variety to your blogs by making it more interactive.   

Apart from the fact that Semiologic Pro is search engine friendly (the canvass of the theme has been optimized for you), if anything will sway people from using the classic or free version to using the pro version, it's the WYSIWYG editor.  Not merely because of it's look and feel, but because of it functionality and ease of use.

In terms of making your blog interactive, you have several helpful task buttons on the tool bar including the 'add media button', 'the insert video button' and the 'ad unit button.'

By clicking on the media button, you can enter the url of where your audio is hosted (which could actually be a different server than where your WordPress blog is hosted) and it will insert a lovely looking player bar like this …

And, within just a few seconds (once you've obtained the code from say YouTube), you could have your own, a third party's or, an animated video on your blog like this one … 

Ouch!  I think it missed though.  I could have sworn I heard the mouse laugh after the click!

I'm sure there's a marketing lesson here somewhere, though I'm scraping the barrel to find one.  Perhaps the moral of the story is simply,

"know when to move on and find more big cheese rather than trying
 to make a last ditch effort for the crumbs… it's this 'last ditch' activity
 that could kill you - or your online business for that matter"

Anyway, finally, you can easily add Google AdSense blocks to your blog posts so you can earn some revenue from your visitors interactivity.

I hope you can see the advantages of how the Semiologic Pro WYSIWYG editor  can easily make a potentially boring blog post into a spiced up multimedia article, complete with some money making activity to add to the fun - and your bank account of course.

That's all for now,
