For some reason the repetitiveness of my days has

For some reason the repetitiveness of my days has really hit me this week. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to fit everything into each day and I’m worried about how I’ll maintain this schedule once life “goes back to normal” but this week I’ve been finding it a little overwhelming. How have you been getting on? Are you back to work yet? Going back out to shops? Will you be out at bars and restaurants this weekend?

Yoast SEO version 14.4 was released yesterday and it has some amazing updates! Firstly, you can FINALLY add rel attributes (like nofollow and sponsored) to external links in the Block Editor 🙌

They've also added post-publish sharing actions for Facebook and Twitter. And added the readability and SEO score to the document sidebar and to the publish checks 👏

Not sure what sponsored and nofollow link attributes are? DM me for an explanation and the link to a blog post for more information ☺️

Today is Juneteenth (June 19th), it celebrates the

Today is Juneteenth (June 19th), it celebrates the ending of slavery in the United States in 1865. My weekend task is to read up on the history of this day and the information on the Juneteenth website. But I wanted to share two quotes with you that have been on my mind lately. The first is from Michelle Obama’s Becoming documentary on Netflix, which made me fall even more in love with her. In the documentary, she discusses some of the issues she’s dealt with during her time in US politics. The other is from Dave, one of my favourite artists, his song Black features some powerful thought-provoking lyrics. If you haven’t already seen his performance at the Brit Awards, I encourage you to look it up and listen, he added a verse to discuss some of the issues present in the UK currently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like they both summarise what is needed from all of us to move forward together - a willingness to be open, to educate, to communicate, to really listen and to be understanding. And then to dig deep, to use our voices and better the world for our children.
Hope you have a wonderful Friday ❤️

In terms of SEO, how long should blog posts be? Ac

In terms of SEO, how long should blog posts be? According to HubSpot data in 2020, the ideal blog post length is between 2,100 and 2,400 words. In 2013, Medium said 1,600 words, as did Buffer. Search Engine Journal 1,900 words, according to a 2016 study. Yoast says long blog posts over 1,000 words have a higher chance of ranking well. And in 2017 Moz said the ideal length was BS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what's the answer? The consensus is that blog posts that are longer result in a higher ranking, but really it depends on your situation, your content goals and your audience. A better question to ask is what value are you providing to your readers? And is your blog post achieving that? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Before I go back to posting about WordPress and SE

Before I go back to posting about WordPress and SEO related topics, I wanted to share some Black content creators I enjoy seeing on my feed. I used to share my favourites more regularly and I want to bring that back in the future. There’s obviously so many that deserve your time, but let’s start with these nine women, most of whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting IRL. I don’t have the character count allowance to write about them all properly here, so I’ll do that in the comments below ❤️
