Sample excerpt from ebook

Basic WordPress Components

You have WordPress installed, and that is barely half the battle. Your WordPress site can only do some very basic things at this point. With a new fresh install you have:

Basic Posting with basic editing and formatting tools<
Categorizing your posts
Multiple users can post and login
Basic RSS Feeds – Share your posts to the world.
File and image loading and management.
Drafts – Articles in development.
Archive and Search tools
Comments and moderation management
Notifications – Your WordPress site will keep you informed.

Out of the box that is quite a lot of features, and you can take a lot of time learning each of these features. But before you get into the bread and butter of your site you still need to make it uniquely your website. So we will now focus on three areas that will make your website special.

Those areas are:

Themes requirements and Custom design issues
Core Plugins – What you can't live without.
Site Maintenance
