1 00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:05,970 Now that you set up your Wordpress Web site and you were logged into the backend I want to bring you 2 00:00:05,970 --> 00:00:11,550 on a tour of the Wordpress dashboard so you can really understand how easy it is to change the look 3 00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:14,300 and feel of your site. 4 00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:21,870 So the first thing that I want to explain to you is if you come into appearance and PMS is really the 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:28,710 most radical way that you can change the look and feel of your site and that is to change the team so 6 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:36,180 we can see right now that we have the 2017 2017 team installed on our site it's active and this team 7 00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:45,330 comes free with all WordPress sites in 2017 and also you can see the previous versions here as well 8 00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:47,380 which you can activate if you want. 9 00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:51,200 Also you can add themes that you find online. 10 00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:58,140 And I'm also going to show you how to install a premium corporate team in a little bit as well. 11 00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:03,240 But the key message that I want to say is that if this is not the type of site that you want do you 12 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,930 not worry about it at all. 13 00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:10,290 You can install a team that transform this into a fully functioning e-commerce site. 14 00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:13,590 You can change this to a corporate Web site or whatever. 15 00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:20,940 Wordpress is definitely not just for blogs and just bytes changing the team is really a radical way 16 00:01:20,940 --> 00:01:23,710 that you can change the look and feel of your site. 17 00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:29,850 But before we get into that I just want to walk through some of the more basic steps that you can easily 18 00:01:29,850 --> 00:01:31,960 change right away and play around with. 19 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,940 So let's come up to our posts and have a look at all of our posts here. 20 00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:44,120 We can see that we have just one post or blog posts or site called Hello world and this will come the 21 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,060 default swell so we can see it here. 22 00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:50,860 That's the title and this is the content of the post. 23 00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:59,220 So if we want to change that we can come in to address what we can do now is to edit the title of this 24 00:01:59,220 --> 00:01:59,870 post. 25 00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:02,940 So let's just change this first post. 26 00:02:03,830 --> 00:02:08,980 And if you were typing a blog post this is where the title of your blog post would go. 27 00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:12,610 And we can just say this is my first post. 28 00:02:13,870 --> 00:02:15,160 This is my first post. 29 00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:20,280 Yea what we can also do is change the L of this post as well. 30 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,470 So what we can put in here is first Dasch post. 31 00:02:25,930 --> 00:02:30,690 So let's update this and see how it changes on our site. 32 00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:33,890 So there we go. 33 00:02:33,890 --> 00:02:40,820 Change the title on the post and even if we click into this we should be able to see the URL that is 34 00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:42,280 changed as well. 35 00:02:42,290 --> 00:02:48,050 Now what you are seeing in the see where L is the days and it is possible to remove that so it's just 36 00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:55,070 our Web site dot com forward slash whatever we've put in there and so to do that I would highly recommend 37 00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:57,600 you do this just even for the search engines. 38 00:02:57,860 --> 00:02:59,420 So combined settings. 39 00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:11,090 And then we can set the URL as the post name and then we can go ahead and click save changes and now 40 00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:14,860 let us come back to our posts to make sure that it is changed. 41 00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:21,590 So we edited again so open that up we can see that that has been changed and if we get a read we'll 42 00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:23,440 have to change the URL here. 43 00:03:25,140 --> 00:03:26,820 And we can see that that's coming up. 44 00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:30,350 And that is showing much more cleaner and easier. 45 00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:32,740 And that's actually much more search engine friendly. 46 00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:38,640 So I would really recommend that you come in to your settings and change those permalink settings to 47 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,750 the post name so there where you've edited the post. 48 00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:45,320 Now what about if we wanted to post. 49 00:03:45,420 --> 00:03:47,630 Well again we just come to the sidebar. 50 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:57,140 We can add new and we can just type in second post. 51 00:03:57,180 --> 00:03:59,290 We just wanted to see the content again. 52 00:04:02,890 --> 00:04:07,210 And you can see that now because we changed the permalink settings that it's just showing up as forward 53 00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:10,340 slash our keyword or title. 54 00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:18,180 So we're going to go ahead and publish that and if we come into our site preview we can see that showing 55 00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:21,180 up here now in the recent posts. 56 00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:27,320 And even if we just come back to our home page we should be able to see the second post. 57 00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:28,570 And the first post. 58 00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:29,370 So there you go. 59 00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:35,440 That is how you add a post to your site and already that's how we're starting to build up the content. 60 00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:40,830 Now you're going to learn how to add pages to your Wordpress Web site to come back into the dashboard. 61 00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:46,920 Once again you want to come to pages this time and then that's firstly have a look at all the pages 62 00:04:47,010 --> 00:04:47,990 on our site. 63 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:55,410 So right now we can see that we just have one sample page and again we can click into edit this and 64 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,270 if we want to really preview the page we can just open it up as well. 65 00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:07,250 So here we can see it's just a sample page with the title of the page and looks like kind of an abiders 66 00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:08,320 section. 67 00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:15,680 So what we can do is change this page name again to bite us. 68 00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:19,430 We can also change some of the text here as well. 69 00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:23,830 So I'll just delete some of that just to show you the difference or maybe let's just keep this part 70 00:05:23,830 --> 00:05:24,420 here. 71 00:05:26,330 --> 00:05:34,280 And we can write this text as well when we can just make sure as well that this changes to about us 72 00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:42,900 now where we can go ahead and do is update the page and let us preview the changes. 73 00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:45,770 As well so we can really see it there. 74 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,530 And so they changed to about us. 75 00:05:47,690 --> 00:05:54,650 And we can see the text there that you either imported yourself or that I just just left in there. 76 00:05:54,650 --> 00:06:02,270 So if we come back to our just normal page though we can't actually see this about us page it's kind 77 00:06:02,270 --> 00:06:03,500 of hidden away somewhere. 78 00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:09,410 So what we want to do is insert a menu appear at the top so we can really see the pages of our site 79 00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:11,570 across the top. 80 00:06:11,690 --> 00:06:16,200 And before we do that we might end up in one more page. 81 00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:19,770 So let's just put in services 82 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:31,460 our services and again what we can do is previous to see how it looks like something there now. 83 00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:37,200 But essentially we've created another page and we can just go ahead and publishes. 84 00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:41,120 Now as we said we can see those pages from our home page. 85 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,940 So how do we get those visible to our visitors. 86 00:06:46,170 --> 00:06:52,580 Well what we can do is come down to appearance and then menus and what we want to do is go out and create 87 00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:53,270 a menu. 88 00:06:54,290 --> 00:07:03,380 We can call this main menu and then create it now what we want to do is add our pages to our menu. 89 00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:11,060 And then we can go ahead and click display location top menu and save the menu. 90 00:07:13,220 --> 00:07:20,480 And then if we open up our site and refresh the page we can see the menu items appearing up here on 91 00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:27,050 if we click through we can come and see our bios page or our services page. 92 00:07:27,050 --> 00:07:34,460 Now if you want to adjust how those appear if you want to put the About Us page first then you simply 93 00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:36,740 just rearrange the order. 94 00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:42,570 Click Save and take refreshed just to see those changes. 95 00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:49,220 Now what we might do actually is want to put in a menu item for our home page or our blog as well. 96 00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:58,290 So what we can do is come across to our menu click fuel quick home quick add to menu and then we can 97 00:07:58,290 --> 00:07:59,380 see that that's been added. 98 00:07:59,370 --> 00:08:03,520 Click save and click refresh. 99 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,160 And now we can see the home page which we can get back to quickly from any page on the site. 100 00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:14,820 So what about these links in the sidebar here how could we change the appearance of this or the order 101 00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:18,420 of these or what we want to do is come into our dashboard. 102 00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:27,720 Once again this time come down to widgets and in here we can see the blog sidebar and we can add widgets 103 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,070 in just to drag and drop them in if we wanted to see a calendar we could add that in. 104 00:08:33,390 --> 00:08:34,920 We could just give it a title 105 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:45,140 Collender say if we refresh our site we can see the calendar appears up here. 106 00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:50,700 So you can add in different things like a list of categories for your blog post custom hatred email 107 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:55,750 which you maybe might use to put in as a sign up form for an email. 108 00:08:55,950 --> 00:09:02,960 You can put in images caught recent Collin's different things like videos etc.. 109 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,930 Now what if you want to change the order where you simply just rearrange them here. 110 00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:11,520 So if we come back in we can see the search bar is at the top. 111 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,520 And if you want to delete any of these widgets you can just go ahead and Salita very easily and it will 112 00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:18,990 instantly update. 113 00:09:19,050 --> 00:09:22,890 Now there's one more important thing that you might want to change and that is up here and you can see 114 00:09:22,890 --> 00:09:25,310 it's as welcome just another WordPress site. 115 00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:33,270 So we do want to change that and to that we can come to appearance once again come to customize and 116 00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:36,160 in here you can come into site identity. 117 00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:39,290 And so what I'll put in here is the name of the site. 118 00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:43,320 WP Septem or dot com. 119 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:44,370 And then they can say 120 00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,820 learn how to set up a word press site. 121 00:09:49,980 --> 00:09:52,570 Then I can just click save and publish. 122 00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:58,320 Now if I come to my site once again refresh the page can see this change. 123 00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:00,080 Now that we've made all those changes. 124 00:10:00,090 --> 00:10:04,300 One things you might want to do and just make sure is that your site is live. 125 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,650 So if you come to blue house right at the top here you may see this here that you can launch your site 126 00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:12,960 your site is currently displaying coming scene page. 127 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:20,870 So I'm going to go ahead and click on the syce and once again we can go and view the site here. 128 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:28,980 So already you've learned how to change the tag line on your side menus posts pages change the widgets 129 00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:35,680 as you can see it's very simple to work with wordpress even if you're non-technical like me.
