OK. Let's see the next two points ...
2. Changing the display name
First of all: the display name is NOT your username! The display name is the name that appears on your posts or on your comments.
On the very same page where we have changed the admin password you can see two fields marked as "Nickname" and "Display name publicly as". If you have followed my instructions in the previous chapters, you'll see the following screen:
If you select the "Display name publicly as" drop-down list you won't see any other options, but all you have to do, is to enter the desired name in the "Nickname" field and the new display name becomes available instantly:
And of course, click the "Update Profile" button.
3. Deleting the demo content
At this point your site contains a few content pieces that have been automatically created when you installed the Wordpress application. More exactly: the demo post called "Hello world!", the sample page with some dummy text and a comment sample. All you have to do is to select the targeted content type in your admin menu, and to hover your mouse (or to check the box) in order to display the contextual menu options:
Then, just click the "Trash" link to delete the given content piece.
I have some questions:
The password that WA gives you is necessary to change it, when? In the section of permanent links the last 2 are:
-Name of the post
-Personalized Structure
What is the difference between the two?
If my site has categories, pages and post, which would you choose and why?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your time!
So ...
1. As a first step you probably want to create your own personalized, easy-to-rember password. And of course, you should change it every single time when you detect any suspicious activity, for example failed login attempts
2. The name of the post will give you the standard post name based on the slug. The personalized structure will allow you to add other variables top, for example date, etc
3.1 If you are using WordPress as a blog, then you will end up using posts for majority of your site’s content. Posts are content entries listed in reverse chronological order on your blog’s home page. Due to their reverse chronological order, your posts are meant to be timely.
3.2 Pages are meant to be static “one-off” type content such as your about page, privacy policy, legal disclaimers, etc. While the WordPress database stores the published date of the page, pages are timeless entities.
3.3 Categories are meant for broad grouping of your posts. Think of these as general topics or the table of contents for your site. Categories are there to help identify what your blog is really about. It is to assist readers finding the right type of content on your site. Categories are hierarchical, so you can sub-categories.
Hopefully I've managed to answer your questions.

If I have "categories" in my site What is the type of permanent link that you would choose?
I´m working with Personalize Structure is OK for you?
Hopefully they will :)

Thank you for taking time and create this training.
I believe this will be useful to our new members.

If you've learned at least one thing, I achieved my goal :)
Yes, those blurry images usually are related to the pre-defined image sizes created by Wordpress.
By default, WordPress offers predetermined image sizes:
Thumbnail size (150px square);
Medium size (maximum 300px width and height);
Large size (maximum 1024px width and height);
Full size (full/original image size you uploaded).
If you are using a given (different) image size for your posts and that image size can't be proportionally resized to these default values, the result is a blurred image.
And before you ask :) You can define the exact size of your images in many ways when you are creating your content, but there are situations where you can't (at least without altering the source code) define the image sizes. One example: when a related post plugin displays thumbnails ...

Much appreciated
