User Guide

If you are going to have a blog on your site (but just don’t want it on the home

page), select a page to display your posts on.

This has to be an existing page, so you should create a page just for your blogs if

you have not done so yet. Follow the same process as you did when you added a

new page.

If you have put content on the page you select as your “Posts page” it

will not appear - only your blog will be displayed.

THE ADMINISTRATION MENUS

Down the left hand side of the screen is a set of menus, for

example “Posts”, “Media”, “Links” and so on. Beneath

each is a serious of options. If you can’t see those options

you can expand that particular menu by clicking on the

down arrow to the right of the heading.

The term for menus that you can show and hide via a

small icon is collapsible menus.

The image to the right shows some of those menus with the

Pages menu highlighted, and “Pages” shown as the selected

option (the little indent beside it, and in bold/black). In this

guide, this menu item would be referred to as:

Menu > Pages > Pages

You’ll use these menus all the time and will quickly get used to what is where!
