Been quite busy these past few months, no time to update the blog. Several new foreign trade independent websites have emerged, ranking 16th. Overall website traffic has doubled compared to last year.
Before modification, the foreign trade independent website ranking fluctuated between 8th and 11th place.

Re-enabled the website sidebar and, following jack's suggestion, added recommended articles at the end of posts.
Changed the previously pinyin-based category directory to English, goodbye Baidu.
The previously used topic plugin had bugs under the Astra theme, so I switched to another one. Also changed the topic URL, set up 301 redirects, and modified the second part of the website subtitle and reorganized the description content.
To familiarize myselfAstra Theme, I switched my website to it. During this time, I also tested WooCommerce, but it was too slow on domestic servers, so I eventually uninstalled it. Customizing such advanced themes is not as convenient as regular themes, but it's easier for beginners.
Revised the titles and descriptions of several articles on the homepage. Previously written according to Baidu SEO rules, now changed to Google's. Will check ranking effects after some time.
AddedGoogle SEOcategory, returning to Google optimization, Baidu is too poor.
Rebuilt a homepage based on the current theme. Will modify several more pages in the coming days, but won't record them. Theme modifications have slowed down article updates these days.

把Breadcrumb code replaced with a dedicated plugin, adding structured data.
Added secondary categories for WP plugins and themes, deleted the WP theme topic category, and wrote TDK for all categories. Poor initial planning has left lingering issues, making it difficult to handle.

Discovered a site, bgwkf, that is reverse proxying this site.
After just one week, the itch to change themes struck again. This time, it was switched to a version I modified based on Twenty Twelve. Although frequently changing website theme templates is not good for SEO, I just can't resist tinkering.
After going around in circles, I'm back to the default theme.
Modified the website subtitle to "Recording WordPress website building tutorials and WordPress theme/plugin recommendations." Originally intended to write "sharing," but after modifying the SEO plugin several times, it didn"t update. Could it be that it"s not allowed?
The theme was changed from the default theme to a paid theme, which allows page generation via plugins, but the code is quite messy.
Server upgraded from Tencent Cloud 1G1H1M to 2G4H5M
Added Google Analytics code; Baidu hasn't been removed yet, comparing both to see which works better—I believe Google's will. Installed an AMP plugin; Baidu also supports AMP page crawling now.
Because the new mini-program code couldn't link to page URLs, I deleted the website building and VPS pages and republished the articles, then modified the new mini-program submission for review.
Modified the aliases for 'Recording Life' and 'Recording Work.' Originally wanted to remove the category URLs, but testing showed it would fail with subcategories, so I gave up. Changed the two main category aliases to English for brevity.
Added this timeline page to see how long this blog can keep going.
Already had Tencent CDN with only 10GB traffic per month; Upyun offers 15GB per month. Moved images to Upyun to save traffic and achieve dynamic-static separation.
Most records of the kid went to WeChat Moments and phone albums; text records weren't vivid enough. Parenting experiences lose appeal for writing unless it's a dedicated parenting site, and the initial enthusiasm faded. Since my old blog from years ago is gone, I'll settle on this domain.
The child is half a year old; registered this domain, planning to set up a blog to record things for her.
