Wordpress 101: Introduction to Admin Interface and Posts
This is part one of our ongoing series: Wordpress 101.
Over the years, I have been using Wordpress and Blogger to make my weblogs and websites. Between, the two I like Wordpress the most. You may ask, why do I prefer Wordpress? First of all, I like its user interface for administrators. The most recent version (2.8) seperates Admin components into the following easily defined sections: Posts, Media, Links, Pages and Comments and then there are other non-content related and used less frequently are Appearance, Plugins, Users, Tools and Settings. Now let me introduce you to the Posts section. Within the Posts section, there are buttons for Edit (editing posts), Add New (creating posts), Post Tags (list of tags you used in your post) and Categories (list of catagories) once can use in Wordpress for your blog posts. Within the page where I am writing a post for your right now include spaces to write excerpts, send trackbacks and add custom fields to store along with your posts. Custom fields are useful if you want to add a way to track your posts that you don’t want users to see when they read your posts. Anyway, good luck with your blogging and let me know if you have any questions.
