Google's update is finally over!

Coaching | Past Tips | Share Feedback Blogging Bites #58 Happy Thursday Reader! 😊 In last week's newsletter I mentioned that Google's core update was still rolling out. Turns out it actually completed on April 19th, they just didn't announce it until April 26th. 🌟 Google did share a form where you can submit feedback on ranking changes. They're accepting responses through May 31st! I imagine it's going to take quite some time for industry experts and bloggers to analyze and understand the...

Coaching | Past Tips | Share Feedback Blogging Bites #57 Hey Reader! A few quick updates before I dive into today's topic! Google has delayed the depreciation of 3rd party cookies again. The March core update is still rolling out. TikTok is one step closer to getting banned in the U.S. Honestly this all feels like old news at this point, so onto something new! ✨ Have you heard of Flipboard? It seems like a fairly untapped platform but one that might make quite an impact. I'm not sure when it...

Coaching | Past Tips | Share Feedback Blogging Bites #56 Hey Reader! How's your week going? I've been feeling very overwhelmed, but pushing through it! I hope you've been enjoying the walkthroughs lately! Recently we've gone over Grow, Feast Modern Categories, and now Hubbub! If you aren't familiar with Hubbub, it's a Wordpress plugin used for social sharing. When Mediavine created it they called it Grow Social (super confusing since Grow is a separate thing), but NerdPress recently took over...

Coaching | Past Tips | Share Feedback Blogging Bites #55 Hey Reader! We have a lottt to talk about these days, and it looks like Feast's Modern Categories is something you're eager to learn about! I shared a poll on Instagram the other day and while it was a close race, Feast ended up pulling ahead! (I promise it wasn't rigged - Feast didn't vote or pay me to do this 😂) I'll cover the WPRM popup modal and Hubbub in future newsletters, but today I'll be walking you through Feast's Modern...

Coaching | Past Tips | Share Feedback Blogging Bites #54 Hey there Reader! Have you heard about this new Core Web Vital metric called Interaction to Next Paint (INP)?? It replaced an old metric, First Input Delay (FID), last month and has been failing for some websites. Andrew from NerdPress talked about it a bit in yesterday's TopHatRank webinar and I thought I'd share what I took away from it! First off, if you don't know what Core Web Vitals are, they're a set of metrics that basically...

Blogging Bites #51 COACHING · RESOURCES · PAST TIPS · INSTAGRAM Happy pi day Reader! 🥧 A couple weeks ago I shared a tutorial on how to add the Save This Recipe email signup form to your WPRM recipe card. I've gained over 70 new subscribers just from this form since adding it to my blog! If you've set it up, send it over - I'd love to see it 🤗 WPRM just came out with a few new features, including expandable blocks! Now you can turn parts of your recipe card into dropdown menus, like this:...

Blogging Bites #50 COACHING · RESOURCES · PAST TIPS · INSTAGRAM Hey Reader! How's your week going? I'm in Colorado visiting some friends for the next few days! Chris and a few others are fans of Mr. Beast and have been wanting to try Feastables. If you aren't familiar, it's his chocolate bar that he wants to stomp out Hershey's with. Mr. Beast recently rebranded Feastables with a new formula because the first one was, in my opinion, trash...and I guess everyone else thought so too 😅 Anyway,...
