3. Today's slide is about WordPress, so if you have a
WordPress blog or if you are planning to have a
WordPress blog, this slide is going to help you.
Because I am going to talk about one plugin which is
very popular and at the same time, configuring this
plugin is a challenge for many newbie.
So this will be helpful for you to understand how to use
the plugin and the plugin which I am talking about is
'Jetpack'.
4. This plugin is by the WordPress creator team and it
adds a lot of functionality. basically it connects you to
wordpress.com blog.
It offers lot of great features that you can use with this
one plugin.
But if you use all the features, it tends to slow down
your blog.
So in this video, you will learn everything about
Jetpack.
5. If you are using a cache plugin, ensure that
you flush your cache before doing that,
otherwise you might get the connection
error where you won’t be able to connect
Jetpack with your wordpress.com account.
Jetpack Plugin Installation
15. So here you can see that there are a lot of options
(modules) basically that you can use, so I will just give
you an overview of few of the important modules.
16. Photon
Photon is a free cdn offered by wordpress.com that you
can use to speed up your blog loading time and its free
which is pretty good. You can use it.
But I don’t use it because I’m using Cloudflare and its
also offers free CDN (content delivery network) and I
find it much better than using Photon.
In my other video I’ll show you how to use CloudFlare.
So don’t worry.
17. Protect
Protect is another
free module which is
very good for making
your WordPress blog
secure, so it basically
prevents from root
force attacks.
So keep it active.
18. Single Sign On
Secure user
authentication.
But you don’t need
this.
So Inactivate it.
19. Monitor
it basically notify
you when your site
goes down and this
is one feature you
should enable you
because sometimes
you won’t even get
to know that your
blog was down or is
down.
20. Data Backups
Data Backups a paid
backup module by
VaultPress and I have
been using it for a while
and if you are concerned
about your blog, I would
suggest to buy a
VaultPress subscription.
I think it’s about 5$ a
month.
21. Site Stats
With the Site Stats you can see your blog stats from the
dashboard.
Though many of you might be using Google Analytics
which is pretty good, it gives you advanced data.
But Site Stats give you data inside your dashboard and I
like it.
Especially if you are using a WordPress mobile app, you
can see all your stats from your WordPress mobile app on
your android or iphone.
22.
23. Sharing
Now Sharing, so this one
adds social sharing
button.
Or you can use
MashShare, it’s a great
social share plugins
both have free & paid.
I am already using it on
my blog.
24. Publicize
Publicize is another
great feature so you can
automatically share your
new published blog post
to Facebook, Twitter and
GooglePlus.
This feature will
automate your social
media marketing, pretty
great service.
26. Related Posts
Though I don’t like
it much because
there is very few
configuration
option.
If you’re using a
premium theme
then you don’t
need to use this
feature.
28. Jetpack Settings
You can click on Jetpack settings and you can always click on
Popular to see which are the most popular module. You can
see which all modules are activated.
Then you can click on Active and go through and see if you
really need them.
Whatever module that you don’t need, I suggest you to
disable them or otherwise it will increase the load time of
your blog.
So whatever module that you have activated, you can always
click on Configure and make extra changes there. So that’s a
pretty great idea and so this is what about Jetpack.
