Total BS Hackers are lining up to hack wordpress sites - nothing seems to be able to stop them - which is why I mentioned the 2 plugins that present HTML pages to web browsers, and not the actual wordpress site

At this stage I'd also choose wordpress - but with the static site plugins previously mentioned - so you have a hack proof site - still got the pain in the arse constant updates of wordpress and wordpress plugins though

First time I've heard of this one - seems to be a $25 a month add-on for Jekyll to enable cloud based web sites - and yes it does have some sort of user friendly interface so content creators can add their content to the site directly without assistance from coders I'm sure other add-ons will...

Best to set up on a linux PC Second best is a Mac Worst of all is settup on a Windows PC Wordpress users will miss the point and click Admin - but it's only a matter of time before user friendly Admin start being added to these site engines - at present these site engines are "techy" and more...

Yes, getting back to the original post, the SEO doesn't come into it - Jekyll and others of the same type are about site running speed and resistance to hacker attacks - and the fact that if the site gets hacked you just re-ftp the contents of the site generator's output file from your local server

These site generators require the use of a local server - they create the site inside an output folder - when you are happy with the site, you then upload the contents of the output folder to the web server using FTP Some of these site generators are "blog aware" - they closely resemble...

These platforms are intended for Web Devs, not amateur webmasters Whereas a Web Dev can set up a wordpress site and hand it over to the site owner to add their own content, these sites require content to be added via command line or markdown language - so a Web Dev will always be involved with...

Jekyll and all the other similar site builder engines still have 2 major problems - they are not easy to install on a Windows PC, and they don't have a user friendly admin interface like WordPress - i.e. no point and click - it's like being back in the 1980's and using DOS

For people who don't want to abandon wordpress there are 2 plugins that change wordpress to a static site which is presented to web browsers - they are simply static, and really static So you can use wordpress but the world only sees a static site, not the real wordpress site

It's a site builder that uses a flat file CMS and it creates a static HTML site that you then upload to your web space There are literally dozens of this type of site builder out now - a lot of them are open source (free) They are being created because web devs are sick and tired of overblown...

This one looks good - maybe you can tweak it to your needs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/business-directory-plugin/

It's both correct and incorrect to link the silos together - link them if the silos are related - don't link them if the silos are unrelated e.g. Car repair silos - alternator, suspension, brakes, are all parts of a car, and can/should be linked together Portal site silos - news, weather...

As it's a LSI keyword of dog training, simply make it a category of the site, and place sub-keywords of it as posts (presume you're using wordpress) I agree with the other poster - I don't see it as a problem at all

Just so people don't get the wrong idea and start breaking the silos by linking articles in one silo to articles in another silo - the above is a reference to the now discredited "daisy chaining" Daisy chaining was where the last article in silo 1, would link to the silo landing page of silo 2...

You guys are getting pretty worked up! Essentially, siloing is having a central theme for the home page, and having sub-pages for the sub-themes (silo landing pages) Finally, the sub-themes are once again divided into sub-sub-themes (article pages) So, an example I often give is a "pet site"...
