Anatomy of a Wordpress layout
-
These are recommended steps before adding content to your website
- Go to Settings and choose General
- Change the Site Title and Tagline (these are really important for SEO)
- Change the timezone (so there is no confusion on post timestamps)
- Click save changes (always remember to save your changes at the bottom of the interface)
- Go to the Reading section
- This is where you determine the home page. If you don't select the home page it will automatically list post by the most recent
- You can design any page to be the home page and this is where you would assign it
- Go to the Discussion section
- Uncheck "Allow people to submit comments on new posts". Otherwise you will get spammed
- Go to Permalinks
- Select Post Name so that your web pages have human addresses
