what the default post and link category is

You can also configure WordPress to monitor an email account so you can send

new posts via email.

Very handy at times, but be careful to set up an email account that can’t

be guessed or anyone can send new posts!

Reading

Menu > Settings > Reading

We already covered the first option available here in a previous chapter, but in

case you skipped that chapter, you will find here options to change the home

page from the blog to one of your site pages.

Other options are self explanatory, including changing the number of post

displayed.

Discussion

Menu > Settings > Discussion

There are numerous options available here that are described well on the

website.

The default installation is a sensible way to start, but if you review this page you

may find some options you would like to switch on or off.

For example, under “Other comment settings” you can set whether users must

be registered and logged in to be able to leave comments.

Avatars

These are images that are associated with members. Each member can set their

own avatar, but until they do you can select the default image displayed.
