If You Were Writing Posts As Chapters Of A Book On Your WordPress Site… Try adjusting Date and Time

If you publish a new post that is an insert for a previous chapter of your book… your chapter will be placed on a very top of your posts on your WordPress Site/blog. Some authors may be frustrated because, they wanted their chapter to be placed before an existing chapter for their posts as chapters in a book.

I wanted to add Chapter 0.3 before Chapter 0.4 on my website/blog. How do I do it? This is kind of difficult for me! I don’t want my site be cluttered, and out of sync when writing posts as Chapters in a book.

If you wanted to write your site as a book. You may need to know the date and time frequency. You have to pay attention to the date and time. You can edit it to adjust your post’s position of your index page. For example; you can set your time to 00:00 on a starting posts of your website. And use either a 15-minute frequency, or after each minute per post. That enables you to get more room for your posts with chapters with decimals. Useful for breaking up posts for your readers on your website. Don’t forget to adjust the date to the close part of a day of a post that is last published. You may need to research if your posts are published in order.

If you were using a plugin to sort your posts via an ascending order… you can enable your readers to read through each post of your website without needing to go to the last page of your site to read your older posts first. But they will reach your newer posts at the last page of your site.

If you were using a hosted version of wordpress… such as wordpress.com… it’s the same way you rearrange posts,–it’s kind of like reordering pages in your book. However; your existing links may break, and it may lead you to too many broken links on your website,–if you interlinked your posts to other articles.

You were already using categories to sort your stories what you written from your imagination. Overtime; your category gets bigger, and bigger,–if you stay focused on one subject. If you were just focusing on 1 subject on your website… your site will become an online ebook on steroids! You will get loyal readers who were about to come back to your site, and they will see your work arranged like a normal book. For the best results; keep your post pages showing at least 5 posts. Use a <--more--> tag to break up your first part of your posts. They will NOT slow down browsers on your readers computers.

It takes 20 pages to reach 100 posts on your WordPress website/blog. Depending on your post size, it can take more storage overtime on your server, and you may need to upgrade your hosting plan to a stronger server. Let’s do the math!

If you have over 500 posts on your website, that can reach up to a size of a common ebook this big. A skilled writer who writes a post each day; can span up to 365 posts a year.

If your site as a book has over 2000 posts; you will be getting lots of readers going through each post. If your posts are text-based, but no images and your post contains over 8000 words; you can fill up an entire server in just a couple of months. That’s more than enough to hog 1 shared server. Some WordPress site owners often reach up to 25 GB in storage. That’s 1 shared 1TB HDD with 40 users! If your hosting account is located on a shared server, and your site starts to grow; your other neighbors may experience cramming on their websites themselves. It takes a 2 TB HDD to resolve this problem by 50%. If one of the users begin to grow; the remaining disk space is taken. a 4 TB HDD can resolve this issue by 75%. The bigger the drive; the more users will use it. If you just have 1 user on a shared server,–but some of the users has migrated to a VPS server; that enables a user to grow. However; some users are assigned to a drive,–if a shared server has multiple disks. Think about a server with 4 disks that are 4 TB each. That’s a total of 16 TB in total. If 40 users are in each drive; that’s a total of 160 users owning sites. However; shared drives often get changed,–after they reached failing state. If a web hosting company upgrades to a 16 TB HDD for 4 of these drives; you will get more space for your site as a book to grow. SSDs at the other hand takes less time to be read by other machines.

It takes a giant WordPress site/blog to fill one 4 TB HDD if a publisher schedules each post. If all users did this… that’s enough to slow down 1 shared server,–causing crashes to occur. However; it takes 16 GB of ram to handle a large WordPress site with endless amount of posts that are written like a book. If you publish a post each 30 minutes, and you scheduled your content to be published for the rest of the year; thousands of posts will fill up your entire site/blog. That’s enough to keep your readers reading for a long time.

Depending on a size of your site; you may take up a larger disk, and large amounts of memory. If your RAM is as large as your HDD; it will load your site as quick as a flash. Imagine your site in a shared server has large amounts of RAM as twice as a size of a disk inside… your site doesn’t have to take time to load. That enables a processor to do less work, and your HDD do less work, reducing wear and tear of these devices.

As you write a site as a book; don’t forget to check dates and times as you create a new post.
