  1. Wordpress On

    Google advises that webmasters set unrelated links as nofollow. This includes paid commercials on websites with hyperlinks to the advertisers’ web sites. Generally, you need to nofollow hyperlinks (such as a link to the RSS feed) that are both unrelated to the web site that they’re posted on, or are not useful to search engines like google and yahoo.

    I personally favor utilizing All in One SEO Pack by Michael Torbert. So many options under the hood make me love the plugin a lot.

    Not solely are WordPress web sites easily customizable, but they also have a simple framework and link structure that’s shared among quite a few different websites. Because search engines like google and yahoo are acquainted with these kind of websites, it’s easy for Google’s spiders to seek out your web pages, index them, and rank them. You now not need to click around to seek out out what you should optimize subsequent. In Yoast web optimization Premium, you possibly can obtain an outline of all the main target key phrases you’ve used so far and of the pages that need more search engine optimization care.

    You get to choose what data you’d prefer to see – key phrases, URL, readability score and/or title – and obtain your overview as a CSV file. And yes, this works for content material with multiple focus keywords as well. Yoast search engine optimization rolls out the pink carpet for the search bots, making it super easy to crawl your web site and find everything. Basically, the WordPress plugin takes care of all the technical stuff for you.

    Is a post on your blog a results of unique research and supplies nice value to the readers? You could link to it more often than you do in case of different posts in new posts and/or on the sidebar to let search engines know that it’s special and deserves more person attention. https://www.reviewengin.com/5-simple-wordpress-seo-hacks-to-boost-your-google-ranking/

  2. I seem to have quality issues with almost all my shorts. Very frustrating. Zippers not sipping properly, hems coming undone.

    Last year I purchased the Paper bag short Item K1514 which are perfect for these days. I don’t wash or dry them often and mostly on delicate. The hem stitching is so poorly done that yesterday I noticed a long thread down my leg and before I even realized what it was the hem started falling.
    The material on my black poplin tie waist shorts ripped and the zippers don’t zip well.

    The side zip trouser cut shorts seem to have better hem stitching but the zippers can be problematic. I feel like many of these could be found at discount stores under a different label for much less money. I just wish they’d last more than a season without needing repair or to be tossed.

  3. Styled the embroidered farmer's market dress and fringe straw hat on the blog yesterday. Dress runs large -- size 1-2 sizes down. Wearing the hat in a size small/medium. I have a pretty small head, and hats tend to be big on me. This one fits perfectly and arrived nicely packed and undamaged. It was $20 a day or two ago, which is a steal.

    1. The dress looks adorable on you. You styled it well. How tall are you Heather? Wondering if the dress will be short on my 5 ft 7" frame. Also thoughts on cotton quality?

    2. Thank you! I’m 5’4”. I think it would definitely work on you, because it’s longer in the back. It’s a nice cotton weight and lined.

  4. i don't think i single one of my orders has come anywhere near when it was supposed to. i'd chime in on the mask review but i can't. they were routed to the wrong post office and now have been sitting in my local post office for 5 days. this is so frustrating. i wanted to split the masks and give some to my parents when i saw them this past weekend.

  5. Has anyone tried the Sleeveless top in Watermelon stripe sequins? A few reviews mention the boxy cut but wondering if sizing down is needed?

    1. I fit it my 'usual' S, I am a 4 or 6 in tops, tending towards a 6. It is boxy, but that's the style.

    2. Thanks so much for your quick reply!

  6. Silk Tunic in Paisley Swirl- color is a lot more saturated than on the website, predominant color is a deep rosy violet, not that pale petal pink that almost looks white. It also only hits at low hip as other reviewers point out- 25 inch length is just a normal length top! Shape was loose and flowy but not boxy. A like for me, but not a love.

    Midi skirt in Wiltshire floral- trust the reviews and size up, if not UP UP! I'm normally a 2 or 4 in skirts at J. Crew and the 6 was workable but still snug at the waist. I did not find the skirt flattering at all, just too much fabric and it didn't seem to fold into nice loose pleats, just kinda poofed around me and made me look like a huge-hipped triangle. It's a shame because I love Liberty prints and it has pockets!!!

    Margot sweater- Wool is not nearly as soft as a Tippi; I really hope the Tippi comes back in a zillion colors in the fall because this is NOT a staple replacement for me. Proportions felt off- with the long sleeves I wanted the body of the sweater to be at least an inch or two longer.

    V-neck cardigan in neon stripe- The navy and violet are true to color on the screen but the pink is a screaming neon hot pink in real life- believe the title, not the pictures! The sweater didn't seem to be pulling or fit tight but the placket bubbled between the buttons for me when buttoned up. But the worst was the fabric. I did not know cotton could feel so stiff and scratchy. Immediate return.

  7. Item AP185 Dolman Sleeve Mini Dress in Lakshmi block print? I love short dresses just not sure about the maroon color in the print as well as the style. Thoughts anyone?

    1. I hadn't noticed that dress until you mentioned it. I really like the print and the colors. I know monitors can be different; on my screen it's more of a dark cherry red. I think it could make a cute summer option. Let us know if you try it.

    2. I hadn't noticed it either until you mentioned. The turquoise and poppy-esque print make it look like a 3D print or the artwork popular in 90s where if you stare at a dot print long enough, you see another image? I forget what those were called. I don't love the silhouette. It doesn't look tailored - it's essentially a loose shift with a thick waist belt.

    3. Thank you ladies, appreciated your thoughts.

  8. @eeps, Mygoddy, I was concerned about this too, sort of hippie effect which I really don’t like. I am going to pass and see if anyone else decides to purchase it and await feedback. I also don’t care for the dark cherry in there, I do like the pink and the blue background though.
