NEW RULES FOR CIPL 2024

One of the reasons I like working for IPL is because when I make suggestions and recommendations and you guys tend to take them to heart and act on them – but if this list of NEW RULES is a little more bossy and insistant its because there is a bit of a mess from legacy behavior and wegotta unlearn these habits to make the site perform better…

NO MORE linking to sites OFF ipl without telling the user and NO MORE linking without opening a new window

Example: https://www.interfaithpower.org/resilience-hubs/ – bottom of the page – fixed here on the development site

NO MORE uploading images named “Screen-shot……”

This image and it appears about 125 others are on the IPL site with names like this – they were taken from other sites or videos as screenshots and then uploaded with no thought given to their naming. Naming a photo is part of the SEO of a website so keep it simple if you are lazy – UNCO-COP28-UAE-banner.jpg will be fine. However the addition of context would help its usefulness as well

NO MORE using images with default image names like “img_8708.jpg”

Time to rename your images before you upload – its advisable to use a name which represents the image or story or category – again this is for SEO, but also for organizing and also just good practice – for instance can you describe what is happening in this image and what story or post it may be attached to or why?

Create new posts for blogs or news or anything that is NEW

No more adding them to the top or bottom of pages – this is seen by google as an edit and noit new content so it does nothing to help people search your site and does nothing to spread the word that your site has new content.
