Hello, dear readers!
Surely you have a need to hide some blog posts from the home page and RSS feeds.
If still does not appear necessarily appear in the future development of the blog. Or maybe it was after this post showing you part posts and izvlecete from it for your own resource, and apply wordpress plugins.
1. why this may be necessary?
2. How can this be implemented?
Let's start with the principles on the implementation of such a task. The most convenient, simple and quick way to hide some posts from readers (in part) — make that they do not appear on the main page of the blog and RSS feed. To do this, you need to publish entries in a column (category) and hide it. That is, when you publish a new post, it will be available for search and the blog, if you go to the heading. But article in hidden categories are not eye mozolit? RSS subscribers and will not be "scored" blog homepage.
Now about why you would want to do? Why most blogs so do?
Such "machinations" due to several reasons:
1. you have a serious blog on serious themes of technical or financial nature, etc. and you publish serious articles for business people. But sometimes one wants to just share your thoughts or any emotions, a little otvlecennymi from the topic. Or maybe just something personal. Such is the netematiceskie article can be placed in a separate category.
2. second reason may be able to post positions "for search engines". Such articles can attract additional traffic, both thematic and okolotematiceskij. For example, you have a blog about cars … But it is of a technical nature, it describes those. characteristics of the car and similar things. And you want to write an article about a new supercar or post post with auto-wallpaper on the desktop. Thus, you can post your article, without prejudice to the substantive topics and receive additional traffic.
3. another reason is the ability to use hide articles from categories and RSS if you earn selling links and articles in Gogetlinks or Miralinks. Such promotional materials, you can publish your invisible to readers, but without prejudice to the advertisers, because articles will be available from the blog and will be perfectly indexed by Yandex, Sars and other search engines.
