Holiday season is here… I just love this time of the year! And that is when you want to come up with some holiday blogging posts for your WordPress website. Often at this time of year, people are in a festive mode, and not necessarily have serious business on their minds. So come up with some holiday blogging tips for your community that will keep them in the festive mode.
To go with the holiday theme, here are a few of my quick & easy holiday blogging tips:
1. Use Canva to Create Stunning Holiday Graphics
My favorite online free graphic tool Canva is probably the easiest way to create holiday blog graphics! You can pick from their free or very low cost pre-designed images to start with, and add your personalized message or make modifications.
With their amazing design tools you can create your own unique graphics for your holiday blog posts. What’s nice about Canva, is that you don’t have be be a designer. They create the designs for you, and you just change to words to be your own! The images above are done with Canva.
2. Add Christmas Lights or Holiday Snow to Your WordPress Website
Winterize your website this holiday season with Christmas lights or snow! If you are seeing this post during the Christmas season, you should see my Christmas light at the top of this page. With WordPress, adding something like that is so easy and fun!
Learn how to do this in this Christmas Lights and Holiday Snow blog post.
3. Schedule Your Holiday Blogging Posts While You are Away
Want to publish a post to wish your reader a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, or anything else you are celebrating on a specific day? Write your post in advance, and just schedule it to be published at a certain time on a specific date!
WordPress makes it super-easy to do this. Just edit the Publish date/time in the Publish panel on the right and click on the Schedule button. WordPress will publish the post for you while you are spending fun time with your family and friends.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays
My blog always misses the schedule, so I’ve opted to take 3 weeks off everything
Linda,
if you blog is missing the schedule, you may not have your timezone set correctly. Look in settings –> general and see what time zone you are set at
Awesome Christina!Thanks!
First of all, the happiest and merriest of holidays, to you and your
family, this holiday season!
Unfortunately I tried three different plugins, two different snow flakes, and the Christmas lights,and none of the three plugins were compatible with my current theme!Bummer!LOL!
But at least, I know how to install them, once I find one this is!
