Here are some handy WordPress tips to get you started:
1. To edit any part of your site: go to http://yourfirstnameeb5.edublogs.org/wp-admin
Here you can log in with your username and password to edit your site.
2. The Dashboard tab is where you should go if you get confused! It has many useful links and will prompt you with instructions. (For example: “Do you want to change your theme?”)
3. The Write tab is where you can create your posts, or a page — just change the sub-tab to switch between. Click “publish” for it to appear on your site, or, “save” to continue working on it later.
Tip: If you want to edit it after you have published the post, then go to the Manage tab.
4. Manage tab: this is wehre you can see all of your previous posts and either edit or delete them.
5. Comments: Here you can allow comments to be published, or delete them. You have control!
6. Blogroll: this is where you add your favourite website links. For example, you will want to add: http://msd2007.edublogs.org as this is our main class site, and where I will post your homework!
7. Presentation: you can change the look of your site under “theme” and change what appears in your sidebars by adding “widgets” (just grab and drag the widgets around).
8. Plugins: explore!
9. Users: administrative area
10. Options tab: this is very useful as in here you can change the way your site looks under “reading“, and your “avatar” as well.
11. Upgrades: explore!
