13 Shortcuts for WordPress that you should know
Well I see that some people like to complain that they spend too much time on a blog and not get enough results therefore they think blogging is a waste of time. I also see some advising others on the forum that don’t rely entirely on blogging which is fine. But what I don’t understand is how long does it take you to write a post? An hour or two? thats it if you write quality posts. If you are Bs’ing a post then you can do that in 25 minutes. There are ways you can speed up your post writing process and those are shortcuts.
Here is a post that will save you some time on writing a post in wordpress. Yup some wordpress shortcuts that you should write down if you don’t already know about them. I have a list on my table that have all these shortcuts and more for photoshop. In time you will memorize them, but the way to start is writing it down on a paper and stick it on your table, so you can use them daily. Now I have all of these memorized.

Now when I wrote 13 ways I promote my blog post, I got questions like how much time do you spend on your blog. On email as well as comments on the forums. Now I don’t spend alot of time because I have web design firm as well. But I do take a good 1 – 2 hours a day to search for post and write a good post. Sometimes less, and sometimes more. But I can tell you one thing, if you use these shortcuts you will decrease the time you spend on writing a blog post.





















Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.




I know most of them and they always make work easier for me while writing a blog post.
yeah they are very common, but it helps alot, so I think people who are starting should know this.
Hmmm, good stuff!!! I never had heard of these before so it’s news to me. I can definitely see how this can work out to make posting quicker!
Thanks man
yes these are very helpful specially when you enter alot of urls. Save you the time on using the touch pad. If I am on my new laptop and somewhere where I don’t have access to the mouse, these help alot.

Good list, some I knew some I didn’t.

I can’t seem to get this to work on a WP 2.6.1 blog using Firefox on a Mac – can you confirm it’s not platform specific?
I just had a little play and I have to use CTRL + Alt to get it to work on a Mac.
OO Thanks let me edit the post and add that note there
Some of those are pretty simple but some I have never heard of and are really good
BTW, I would love to see a list of Photoshop shortcuts – that’s what I really need
hehe sure thing … will copy and paste my list and look for more online and share with you guys
Thats a great post. I actually write my posts in html code with the image tags and div tags and stuff so I haven’t come around those shortcuts yet. Cool stuff though, I actually didn’t know some of those things were possibly with shortcuts!
This is the first time I’ve seen any WP key shortcuts. This will help a lot and give me some time back! I can follow coding, but have never done any myself so where I lose time is in the layout of my type. You just cut that in half. Thank you!
[...] week ago I wrote about Essential Shortcuts for WordPress. Which recieved a few comments and one of the comments wanted me to share my photoshop shortcuts. [...]
Good practical advice. I learned the value of shortcuts when I start working with Photoshop. They CAN cut down on the scutwork part of posting a blog entry. Thanks for these. Got to your site via the ProBlogger Title contest. Have Stumbled you, too. Thanks! G.
