Blog Post : – Reader often found, recent entries on the top of blog, it’s a sort of excerpts of index pages directing to page entry where blogger put his /her time efforts to give meaningful way of understanding. As to the blog post interface, here blogger can write just as an email is written.

Archives: – it is important element especially represents the efforts of blogger from past to present. The most common to notice in these archives is that it shows search engines a duplicate content with different URL. So in order to avoid this, our opinion is to no index Archives. One can ask webmaster to do so, He would code it, as you search on internet how to do it. The entries listed in these archives are shown monthly.
Category: – Although post is displayed but in order to give accessibility to reader and in order to generalize the blog posts it is better to put entries in category. It is very helpful to readers to get conclusion or say it is helpful in searching intent category of interest.
Comments: – this is really important, this section show popularity of topic. People prefer to seek this section. If you are missing comments on any blog entry, this means you to promote that post.
Another matter, which is being often noticed, is spammy on this section, spammers but promotional comments excluding topic of entry, especially on Word press, where spammers set programs and mostly irrelevant comments. So in order to avoid spamming make sure to enter Captcha, this will not completely eliminate spamming but to some extend it would makes your work easier.
