Get to Know the Layout of WordPress
You'll notice that your new
blog looks pretty basic.
Before you dive in and start
to change the look of
things, have a look around
at the layout. This will help
you later when you do start
to customize your site, as
you'll know where
everything is, and most
importantly, what
everything is called.
The layout you are looking
at is called a “Theme.” The
default WordPress theme features a blue header at the top with the title placeholder of your site.
Along the side you will see some titles and links. This is your sidebar menu. The post is the
primary, middle section. The footer is at the bottom of the page.
Let’s look at the post for a moment. Below the post’s title is some information, which is called
the post meta data and contains information about the post such as the date and time the post
was made, the author, and the categories the post is in.
Scroll down the page and notice the bar at the end of the page. This is the footer, and for now it
says “Your blog is proudly powered by WordPress.”
