Day 24 - Learn How to Build a Website Yourself in WordPress 2017

Hey there and a Big Welcome to Day 24 of Learn How to Build a Website Yourself in WordPress 2017 – it’s time to register a domain name!

NOTE:

In order to see any of the previous day’s posts – check out My Posts blog roll on the bottom right hand side.

A recap on what I did yesterday – Day 23:

· Researched my keywords and have made a list of 30 posts to be written and have made a list of 6 categories for my Authority Site

· Decided on Amazon as my affiliate program at this time as they have everything I need

So today I’ve moved onto the tasks in Day 2 from previous posts:

And what I’ve done today is:

· Chosen and registered a new domain name

· Chosen, installed and activated my theme which is a pretty simple, clean theme

· Went into Posts and Pages – trashed the current post and page and deleted the trash permanently

· Created Pages: my Main Keyword Page, an About Page, a Privacy Policy and a Contact Page with little to no content at this point.

· I’ll have a Blog Page but this won’t be on the Main Menu at this point as all of my posts will be going under one of 6 Categories. I will only have the Blog Roll visible on the right of my Main Keyword Page.

· Every post I create will be in full width format, at this point in time. I don’t want my visitors to have any distractions but there will be a full menu directly above my posts with my previous posts all in a category menu

· In Settings > Reading > I’ve a static page as my Front page of my main keywords and my Posts page as Blog

· In Settings > General > My Site Title is already there and I’ve added in my Tagline. I’ve changed my time zone as well

· The last thing I’ve done here is Settings > Permalinks > click on Post name. (This has changed from clicking on Custom Structure making sure that /%postname%/ is in the box provided) – it seems as though just clicking on Post name is all that’s required here now!

I’m going to leave it there for today­­­­­­­­­ and start getting onto other aspects of my site.

Here’s to you having a great day… I’ll see you tomorrow as

Tomorrow we’ll be on Day 25 of Learn how to build a website yourself in WordPress in 2017 and I will carry on from where we left off today!
