CUSTOMIZATION: WHAT I CAN DO.

Customizing the Interface.

THE DASHBOARD

The Dashboard is the main hub of the Wordpress

that users can use to access other parts of the word

blog.

The main idea of the dashboard is to give you a

place where you can get an at-a-glance overview of

what’s happening with your blog. You can catch up

on news, view your draft posts, see who’s linking to

you or how popular your content’s been, quickly put

out a no-frills post, or check out and moderate your

latest comments.

WELCOME TO WIDGETS

The next tool up on our list is what we commonly

call Widgets. Widgets are built in tools usually

created by a third person developer that Wordpress

collectively utilizes.

Some of the various Widgets may include polls and

data charts or even links to parts of your wordpress.

LINKING

A major part of the basic setup creating your

website, are links. Links are HTTP Url Addresses

that take you to another part of a site or even to a

new website.

Links are common in your Wordpress and should

be used frequently.

They are also editable and easily injected via the

admin dashboard.

AKISMET

The AKISMET counter function of your Wordpress

is an integrated tool used to count spam posts.

It is highly useful in monitoring your Wordpress’s

traffic.

SITE STATS

The site stats part of your Wordpress functions as

an integrated monitoring system.

This page tracks more then AKISMET, Including

Refers, followers, shares, clicks, and top posts.

(IM/EX)PORT TOOLS

The last function we will be discussing is the

integrated import export function. Using this

function allows the administrator to import videos,

images, and gifs to the Wordpress.
