Filed under: WordPress

Digging into WordpressThe much-anticipated book about the ins and outs of Wordpress is finally here. Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr released Digging into Wordpress today. Currently, the PDF version is available for immediate download for $27.

I suggest you pick up this book if you’re new to Wordpress or if you’ve been using it for a while. Chris is great at explaining how web-related concepts work at CSS Tricks. He joins Jeff Star in this project, and the professionalism in the product is stunning.

Page Division Benefits for Visitors to Your Web Site

This is great news for both sides of the SEO table. The search engine user can click directly to the desired information instead of wandering around the page once they’re directed to a site by the SERP. The old way was sort of like getting directions to a house party that left you at the entrance of a neighborhood. This new way leads you to the right driveway.
