Sub Posts to a main One
-
Hi!!
I want to posts my 15 days travel in SL as one post but with sub posts with each one being my experience in each city I visited. I did try to find out a way to do so, didn’t find a option, except that I could create a Page and have different posts as scroll down to it. If am not wrong that wouldn’t show in the home page which might not be good for my post.
Look forward to your advice.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I might do it as follows.
– one post per city
– one page providing an index of the trip
– at the end of each post, provide a link to the trip index pageI agree with you that you want those good fresh posts to be on the main page of your blog.

@Andrew….Thanks for the suggestion.
@raincoaster….could u elucidate a little more on how to use category and tag to have sub-posts????

You can’t use categories and tags to have sub-posts. My response is just to say that posts are inconceivably anti-Google. If you want things to remain visible to search engines, make the larger group a Category and the smaller Tags.
Making such things PAGES renders them essentially invisible to Google, for technical reasons. It may seem like a good idea, but trust me, it’s probably not.

I agree 100% with raincoaster. Abandon your intended plan as following it is not in your blog’s best interest. Do not play hide and seek with search engines by creating a blog that’s built on a static Page based structure. Do create a blog that has a Post based structure and assign relevant categories and tags to all your posts.Pages are intended to be used for content that rarely, if ever, changes. You can create as many static pages as you like but every one of them will require editing in order to add new information to it. Pages have very little “Google juice” and cannot have categories and tags assigned to them. Posts have Google juice and can have categories and tags assigned to them. Categories and tags are the index terms that potential readers may type into search engines and when they do search engines results include the indexed posts that have those categories and tags assigned to them.
The vast and overwhelming amount of Google juice goes to posts because that’s the way blogs are designed and how they function. The most Google juice of all goes to the front page of a blog, because blogs are structured in reverse chronological order, and search engines are programmed to locate dynamic content on the front page.
Consequently, if you want your Posts to be backlinked to, and you want your blog to garner targeted organic traffic from search engines, and achieve both authority in its niche and PageRank, then use the conventional post based structure that blogs are designed to have.

@raincoaster and timethief…thanks for the advice. I get the point, so no way having sub-posts. Thats too bad, but well guess that how it has to be :-)
thanks again.
