about meWelcome back, today is day 4 out of 6!

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Be proud of what you`ve accomplished this far! Your site is installed and we`re getting ready to start working with it.

Today will be all about your site. We`ll get familiar with WordPress, plugins, how to create posts and pages and more…

Wealthy Affiliate where we installed our site yesterday sits on a goldmine when it comes to WordPress.

Today we will take advantage of their training, talk about logging in to your site, activating plugins (that are already installed) and the training on a SEO (search engine optimization) plugin called ”All in One SEO”.

But first let me explain what a plugin is.

WordPress Plugins

A plugin will allow you to add extra functions to your website, such as a poll, images, videos, social media, analytic and more.

There are certain plugins that you want to install from the beginning. When we use the free website from Wealthy Affiliate some of the plugins are installed already:

  • Akismet (to protect you from spam)
  • All in One SEO (search engine optimization)
  • Exclude pages (excludes pages from your menu)

These will all be discussed in detail, Lesson 6 over at Wealthy Affiliate.
