Data available on the main blog page

Home blog, of course, very important for the perception of its design as a whole.
Just a few years ago, most blogs contain just a list of messages in order of their publication, with the latest at the top.
Then became fashionable imposition of a separate citation and later - drawing the main page in a magazine style.
Appointment of the home page, of course, is not the same everywhere, for example, personal blog will be different from the worker, who led several authors.
In this paper we explore how to post information on the home page are available for bloggers and designers,

Data available on the main blog page 
as well as the arguments in support of each of them.

Without going into details yet, let's find out the main purpose of the page to the choice of options for your own blog was more literate.
Home is very important because it strongly influences the first impression visitors.
New visitors expect to get a clear idea about the content of the blog is the home page. In addition, they want to with it was a direct access to the sections that interest them.
Easy navigation and user friendliness are important, because home is likely to be the most visited Web site.
Finally, the importance of the home page that it contains the most valuable and current information.

Methods of data placement on the home page

In fact, there are three ways to make your blog content on the main page: published reports in full, to give only extracts from them or use a coffee style. We consider the "pros" of each of them, that should help you to assess your own situation and make an informed decision.

A. The publication in full

In this case, all the blog posts are displayed in full, without abbreviations, in reverse chronological order. This method is not as popular a few years ago. Here are the advantages of publishing the entire removal of the home page:
* Visitors can read the entire message without going to other pages
Fewer blogs publish full reports on the main page, as other ways easier. But a clear advantage publication without reductions in the fact that visitors can read the last few posts without leaving the page. The only restriction for them - the inability to comment on individual posts.
* Easy to publish short messages
If your blog posts are rather short (about 500 words or less), they are displayed on the home page as a whole can help you work. Excerpts may seem absurd, if they consist of half of all messages, and visitors will irritate the need to move to other pages for the two paragraphs of text.
* Do not distract the reader
The need to switch to a separate publication of the recommendation made by reading an extract from it may distract the reader from the topic, so that he may lose interest in it and completely gone from the site.
Two. The publication quotes

Another way - the publication of a post excerpts with links to full version for those who are interested in it.

You could put on the home page with dozens of citations for the seed, so that users will choose articles to read.WordPres creates exposure automatically, although you can cut piece and the taste right out of the published reports, or any other text.

Removal of citations to the home page is now used widely. The advantages of this solution:

* Ease of skimming
Most users prefer to quickly view the contents of the home page to know what is there and what the subject matter of publications. Long introductory texts make it difficult to view. Extracts allow visitors to quickly and easily find the latest additions to choose from and they are interesting.
* More opportunities decoration
The creators of visual themes and bloggers can be more creative approach to the design of citations than the entire message. The volume of citations is determined by you, allowing you to precisely mark and distribute content on the page without worrying about the fact that there are not lots of text fit. As can be seen in the examples below, some designers are showing great ingenuity in the design of citations. Their removal to the home page only greatly enhances the possibility of decorating designer.
* Compact main page
If your message is quite long, and you place them several entirely on the main page, it will very soon become impossible to work. Shutter speeds allow you to save pages compactness, ease of user navigation. Of course, their number also affects the suitability of the page to use, so consider this point.
* Increase attendance page
Some bloggers use a shutter speed to increase the attendance page after reading a quote, a user wants to get acquainted with the publication of the whole, for which he needed to leave home and go to another show which will also be counted. The greater the number of views can increase the profitability of some promotional resources. However, such prudence may cause irritation of users. In any case, do not make quotes on the home page only of those considerations.
* Avoid duplication of data
Search engines do not like to duplicate, they can punish you, suspecting such a feature of your blog. Home page containing texts without abbreviations, in essence, repeats the individual pages of the blog. Replacing the publication of quotations, you can avoid these problems.

Three. Magazine style

The third option - the log page layout. Looks like a take-out quotes, but without a clear history of compliance reports.Instead, the commonly used division into categories and the dates of publication.

This method is typical newsroom Web sites that headlines and announcements are given in thematic sections, such as sports, international news, etc.

Magazine style has all the advantages of using quotations in addition to its own. Here they are:

* More convenient location of information
The main advantage of this method is that the magazine page is easier to place the data. Instead, the removal of five or ten of the latest messages in their entire length, you can set the opening of the texts by category, or even take a special place publications that you consider most important. You decide which of your users will see the publication in the first place. And they may be able to better understand the theme of your blog, read the section titles.
* More opportunities decoration
When using the style of the magazine main page of this advantage is even more noticeable than in the case of quotations. Blogger chooses the specific location of each piece, according to its category. In addition, this method allows many options for page layout.
* Typically the kind of newsroom website
Divide the content into categories and feed it into a form attached to the main page look newsroom website. If your blog a lot of information in the first place, the nature of the news, it may serve as a deciding factor. This style creates a sense of volume web site that contains so much information and topics.
