Learning More: First Steps With WordPress

The new modular Themes in WordPress make changing your website’s look fast and easy, but what if you want to customize that look and make it fit your own needs?

If you are new to WordPress and need some hand holding through this process, the WordPress Codex’s article First Steps With WordPress takes you step by step through the process of moving around a new WordPress site, learning the names of the parts and pieces, seeing how the information and look changes depending upon the type of page you are viewing within the site, how to customize the blog title and description, set up authors, and make a plan for creating categories and beginning the process of customizing your WordPress site to meet your needs.

It was written as if a WordPress Support Forum volunteer was sitting next to you at the computer, explaining the process one page at a time.

The WordPress Codex features several hundred articles with information on how to use, modify, and customize WordPress. Take a few minutes to stop in and see what amazing articles and resources WordPress Community volunteers have donated to help WordPress users learn more.
