Materials to create a site on a free CMS (content management system) WordPress great many in the World Wide Web. However, in this article I would like to tell complete “teapots”, which have just begun to know the basics of site construction, how to create their site or blog quickly and simply, without any supernatural efforts, and without installing the WordPress engine for paid hosting.
So, in fact, everything is quite simple here. In this example, we consider the English version of the control panel of our WordPress site (it is she who is used by default).
The first thing you need to do is to register on the website http: // WordPress.com and, in fact, that’s all … You already become the happy owner of your site. The domain address of your brainchild will have the following view: Your_login.WordPress.Com. Everything is quite simple, isn’t it?
After you registered on the service and created your website, you will need to issue it and fill it with content – information (posts, articles, notes, reasoning, audio/video, etc.D.).
To fill the site with content, go to your control panel under your login and password.
Create the pages you need (Pages). To do this, click on the left in the menu “Pages” => “Add New”. In the window that appears, enter the page title, below – the text that will be displayed on this page. The following functions are also present here:
Quick formatting function;
Image insert;
Insertion of media content (audio/video);
The ability to insert a vote;
Standard shape insert.
After all the fields have filled and used the necessary functions, click the Publish button, located on the right side. Remember that the pages are static, the information on them changes extremely rarely. For example, these are pages such as “On the site”, “On the author”, “Contacts”, etc.D.
Next, we create notes (posts) – “Posts”. On the left in the menu, click “Posts” => “Add New”. Notes differ from static pages in that they are dynamic and can constantly update on your site/blog. Typically, all notes belong to any specific headings (Categories), which are as usual on the right. If when creating a note you did not choose the heading, then this record will be placed in the heading by default.
Comments (Comments)
CMS WordPress is mainly designed to create blogs, so it has the possibility of commenting on each record (post). Comments can be checked for spam, deleted, disconnected in certain posts, on various pages, sections, etc.D.
You can also choose the style of decorating your site, in other words, configure the design to your taste (Themes). The service provides an opportunity to choose from 80 free topics! To do this, in the menu on the left, select “Appe their” => “Themes”. You will be able to insert your name, change the main picture and background of the entire site. If you wish, you can use an additional paid service ($ 14.97 per year), which allows you to configure the design of the site more subtle. Mostly the majority have enough standard 80 topics.
If you want, for example, to make your site have a more beautiful domain name (without adding .WordPress.COM), this can be implemented using a paid service service where you can park the domain bought domain. There is a little pleasure – $ 12 per year. To do this, click in the menu on the left “Dashboard” => “Upgrades” => “Domains”.
Well, about something like that! Now your site/blog is ready for more productive use! I wish you great attendance!
