Making Your Website Your Own



Making Your Website Your Own

Time to personalize your WordPress site. Looking at the leftside of the Dashboard, near the bottom click the settings tab. You are now in the general settings, here you will give your site a title, add a brief description of what your site is about, and other settings to which you can see. Your site title and tagline will be displayed on your page, the title does not necessarily need to be the same as your web address. Unlike your web address, the title can be changed whenever you want. I bet you think, I will be going over each option, no we are not going to do that. Like I tell people that I tutor, and instruct, I will show you the path, it is your job to take it. I also say go ahead and break it, because fixing it is the best way to learn.

The next selection we will talk about is, appearance, go on click on it. Here you can select a theme, and manage your themes. By selecting customize, you will be granted access to change the header, background, title and menus. Widgets will allow you to add a calendar, an archive of your posts, if you choose to use the site as a blog. You can add a custom menu, and a whole host of other options, go on click it, just drag the widget to a sidebar on the right where you see the primary widget area. Menus will allow you to create custom menus, click menus and follow the directions. Menus on your site will allow visitors more options than just the title bar, menus also allow you to direct visitors to where you want them to go. The header button will allow you to change the image to something, more suitable to what you are promoting, or gives your site personality. You can upload your own image from a file on your computer or use the default images, you also can show random images for different pages. This website is yours, experiment, make it your own, do not hold back, let your creativity flow, you have the power. Do not forget to save any changes, by clicking the save changes button at the bottom. Read the previous post, To have a website or not to have a website http://1in100uwin.blogspot.com/2012/09/to-have-website-or-not-to-have-website.html for some guidelines to consider. Back to the top, in the appearance section, there are two tabs, Mangage Themes, and Install Themes. Until now we have been in the Manage Themes tab, if you would kindly click the Install Themes tab please, this will allow you to search for other themes offered by WordPress. The search option are many, giving you a wide variety of options, to help you find the best theme for your website. If you like, you can just browse the featured themes, or newest themes that have been added to this unique software. After experimenting with this software, you will forget that you are building a website. Using a sophisticated langauge, that could possibly be your ticket to ride, making money on the web, working from home, leaving the boss behind, or just maybe, it will be a cool hobby, that you can show off to your friends, and they will think you are somekind of Webmaster. 

The world wide web is yours to mold, and shape, into a dream come true. What are you waiting for? Why have you not staked your claim to this valuable real estate? There really is a gold mine in those hills, go ahead and join the gold rush, now being experienced by many.  Wait and see, what I have in store for you the next time, let’s activate the money machine.

Here is some shameless promotion, come on you know why. Goto my website http://www.tecavd.com and select the Go Daddy banner. Pretty Please with whipped cream and cherries on top. OK how about the Bluehost button. Do you blame a guy for trying?
