Creating an effective online magazine with WordPress: the planning
Subscriptions
Every article will provide a way to let people subscribe to this site.
I don’t want people subscribing to the entire site, though: I want them to subscribe to a section instead. Why would people want to receive a hodgepodge of articles about different subjects and in different languages?
Social contagion
The theme will prominently feature social network controls. This is a crucial effort that will enable readers to tell others about the articles they found. Once an article has “made it” in the Web sphere, the big boys will have to link to it!
Related content
After the end of each article, the theme will present related content to the user. Naturally, the WP theme should present (at the very least) popular and related content as a matter of course.
