Let’s go Through all the steps to set up a blog. Take action step by step for the best results!

A basic overview of the backend of the WordPress Dashboard.

One of the main advantages of having our own domain name is that we can use professional email addresses – most of the technical stuff we will need to do works a lot better using a pro level email address rather than a gmail or hotmail type account.

Looking at some of the important general setting to ensure your WordPress blog is set up correctly.

We need to set up a few essential pages for our website. 

For trust we need pages like About Us, Contact and a few others.

Tidying up your website’s appearance.

The widget settings have changed a little since this video was made so I strongly recommend you have a look at the free tutorial “Getting Started with WordPress and Divi” for updates in this area.

The basics of how to set a home page.

Blogs work just as well by having the “home page” simply showing all the blog posts in a row down the page.

Setting a static home page is up to you.

Let’s have a look at other settings you need to be aware of in WordPress for the best function of your website.

Plugins are little pieces of software or coding that give WordPress different functions. Plugins save us from having to know how to code in order to get things done.

If there is something you can think of that you want your WordPress site to do – the chances are there is already a plugin to make it happen!

Themes create the “look and feel” of a WordPress website. There are literally thousands upon thousands of themes to choose from, many free and many premium.

Premium themes have a lot more flexibility and I always recommend the premium theme by Elegant Themes – Divi – for its ease of use and versitility.

Askimet is an Anti Spam plugin.

There are many that are easier to use, in fact I always delete the Askimet and install Wordfence Security instead.
