This WordPress training section covers a lot of general settings info for using and extending WordPress to the fullest extent possible. Nothing on this page is critical (other than Permalinks) so you can refer back to this section whenever the need arises.

• Installing Themes – covered in the Getting Started section
• Managing Widgets – features and functions for the sidebar
• Installing Plugins – supercharge your site
• Permalinks – creating search engine friendly URLs
• Links Sidebar – create lists of outgoing links
• Modifying Pages + Posts Columns – customize what info you see
• Scheduled Backups – for peace of mind
• Upgrading WordPress

Under the Settings Menu we’ll cover:

• Writing - set up posting by email
• Reading – set your default homepage and more
• Discussion – choose settings regarding comments

If you’re wondering where the General Settings tutorial is, we didn’t write one. It’s where you’ll find the place to enter your site name and tagline (used to display a sub-heading which is a good place to add a few keywords). There are some other options there, but they don’t require a tutorial, so have at it!
