What is an online professional portfolio?


Driving in WordPress

Settings

  • General - change your tagline; change your time zone to Los Angeles
  • Reading - change your site's privacy settings (defaults to Evergreen users only)
  • Permalinks - set this to Post Name

Writing and Managing your content

Images, video and linked files

Designing Your Site

Front Page and Navigation

Sidebars

Many themes support sidebar content. Often times if you don't anything to your side bar a default set of "widgets" will appear. You can change this by adding your own widgets.

Working with themes

Themes allow you to change the design of your blog at anytime. Changing your theme will not affect the primary content of your site.

Adding functionality to your site

  • Plugin Overview - use plugins to connect your site with a variety of web content including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc. Want to connect to a popular service that you don't see listed in the available plugins? Let Academic Computing know and we can look into adding it.
