Thanks for giving a best experience
You’re welcome, Arif!
It’s hard to come by educated people in this particular topic, however, you seem like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks

Hey Ryan,
I am using the optimize press editor for my blog posts instead of the wordpress editor and recently got approved for mediavine ads.
My worry is that the ads will not work well alongside the op editor coding.
I was wondering whether you have any advice for me since I am really confused. What is your take on editors?
I would love to stick with the op editor since it has FAR more features than the classic wp editor.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hey Ryan! Congrats on getting accepted by MediaVine, that’s definitely a good move in terms of monetizing with ad placements.. I’ve heard nothing but great things.
What I used to do with running ad placements on my OptimizePress theme powered blog, was create a short code like [ad insert] that can be manually placed within the specific blog posts that I wanted to host advertisements… not ideal if you’re trying to implement across dozens (or hundreds) of posts and maintain on an ongoing basis though. I’d recommend chatting with the MediaVine technical support team to see what kinds of recommendations they have… there’s no doubt they’ve come across a situation like yours in the hundreds/thousands of blogs they work with.
Ultimately, you may have to contract with a freelance WordPress developer who can help with any technical integrations that are above your head—which is what I do often.
Your style is really unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from.

Hi Ryan,
Your all post’s feature image has unique color and fonts, I like that. Which tool do you use to design your feature image?
Thanks, Sanjay! I use a combination of Adobe Illustrator (for the graphics) and Adobe Photoshop (for creating the layout of the images). It’s a pretty quick process once you’ve designed your templates and can just plug in new headlines and graphics when you create a new image 🙂
Do you have any video of that? I’d care to find out some additional
information.
Hey Mariano! Video of what, specifically? There are a couple of video walkthroughs here in this guide actually 🙂
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I believe that you ought to publish more about this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t speak about the real challenges of blogging.
To the next! Kind regards!!
Thanks for the kind words, Laurene! Stay tuned (on my email list) for more blogging tutorials every week 🙂
