Hi everyone,

Despite having some success with SEO and monetization on my websites, I have not been able to understand any way to lay my text/images etc correctly in blog posts.

I use WordPress. First, I thought it had something to do with the themes I use. Bought couple of premium themes(bimber,newspaper) they are good but the text still does not please my eye.

The problem is:
When I publish the post, text is not flowing in a clean manner.
Random white spaces here and there between paragraphs(they do not show in editor).

I was wondering how you people approach the article text formation(layout editing), any tools etc?

P.S: by layout I do not mean page grid, sidebar, header etc.(I know there has to be a better term which unfortunately I do not have)
 
I actually found myself researching about this as well.

I´ve become obsessed about the look and design of my articles (I am a little OCD btw :D )

To the point where I started to open a shit lot of blogs and browse 50+ different articles to just check how they are designed, see their layouts, what graphical elements they used, how they are structured, font type and size, etc.

I also began taking screenshots and save them into my computer whenever I saw something in a blog article i really liked and wanted to incorporate into my posts.

How i formated my articles?
And I started formating my articles using a combination of Elementor + Elementor Pro + And a couple of addons for this.

The end up result was pretty close to what i was looking for.

Is there a problem?

Yes, it was! I was taking too long to format a single article.

I recently found another way to do it. I don´t know if it´s going to be better but it sure looks it will be faster.

What is it?

By using CSS Hero WordPress plugin!

I´ve seen a couple of tutorials on YouTube and the potential is endless.

Not saying this wasn´t the case with Elementor but the issue with it was time!

With CSS Hero I don´t even need to have 3 or 4 different plugins installed. I can just delete Elementor and all the other Elementor Addons and just use CSS Hero for this.

But to be honest, I am a bit worried because I´ve read several comments saying CSS Hero slows sites down a lot to the point it might even crash it if your site is not hosted on a good server.

I was about to open a thread here and ask for feedback about this plugin.

But beyond that? It looks very promising.
