Now that’s out of the way, here’s the next steps on editing your very own website:

Choosing and Installing Your Theme

• A website’s homepage is static, whereas a blog’s homepage changes frequently. This is the main distinction between a website and a blog.

• By selecting “Pages” > “Add New” from the left menu, you can add a page with the title “Home.” After entering “Home” in the title, click “Publish.”
• Similar to the first step, add a page called “Blog” to your website.
• Then select “Settings” > “Reading” in the left menu.
• You must now choose the radio choice labeled “A static page.” Set your “Home” page as the home page, and your “Blog” page as the blog page. Make sure to click the blue button to save your changes.

What is a WordPress theme template?

• WordPress already has a “theme” in place. The design of your website is determined by its theme. It is a complex PHP and CSS coding system that enables you to have a more personalized appearance. Your editing will be considerably easier if you have a very clear notion of what you want from a theme.

If you’re not satisfied with your current theme, you can customize it more by:

• Remove the “Meta” data that certain WordPress themes automatically add.
• Include things in your sidebar like an email opt-in form and information on RSS feeds.

Note that using widgets is the simplest approach to modify the sidebars.Nearly all contemporary themes are “widget-friendly.” To discover what possibilities you have for customizing with widgets, simply click on “Widget” on the left menu of your WordPress program, which is located under “Appearance.”

You can even install a plugin to stop spams coming into your website using Akismet. In the section for plugins, Akismet is already installed. Find Akismet in the left menu bar by clicking “Plugins,” then click “activate.” then obtain a WordPress.com API key. Simply visit WordPress.com, register for a free account, visit your account settings to obtain the API key, and then return to your WordPress website and input the API key.

And here are steps to setup your chosen plugins:

• Select a plugin.
• From the left side menu, select “Plugins” and then click the “Add New” link.
• To activate the plugin, click “Activate Plugin” after selecting “Install.”
• Pick a plugin-adding method. Upload a plugin from your computer or perform a search in the plugin directory.

Write articles that are relevant to the aim of your website and that people are searching for. Put valuable content on your website that is of the highest caliber and serves a purpose. Create a plan that you can follow and that is effective for you. Get the word out there that your website exists. Choose the purpose for which you wish to use your website by setting specific objectives. Will the goal be to increase service usage? to get income from affiliate marketing? to market your own goods? or a combination of all three. Nonetheless, you already have all the tools, you’re ready to create and edit your website to your heart’s content!
