Okay, I want to show you a couple of the neat little things you can do inside the WordPress Admin area that most people do not know about.

So let’s log in and play around.

First thing we need to do is go to our website home page and either click a “log in” link like the one above or if we have do not have one then we need to add wp-admin after the URL.

 

Like the image below.

From here we should get a page that looks like this.

 

Now once we log in we should get a page that looks like this.

This is the control panel that we use to add content to the site as well as add pages, images, photos, videos and control the site.

By clicking the screen options link we can pick the number of columns we want to show up on our blog. We can then drag and drop everything in the order we want it to show. This gives us control of the look and feel of the admin area.

I now need to figure out where each section is controlled from within the admin control panel. And I want to play with the logo a little with its spacing and colors as well as add a phone number to the header.
