And the last two points ...
12. Default post category
In order to classify your posts Wordpress needs a default category. During the installation process a default "uncategorized" post category will be automatically created. If you go to "Settings -> Writing" you'll see it as the only available category option:
As you can guess, you need to define a new default post category. Go to "Posts -> Categories" and simply add a new category:
Now, if you go back to "Settings -> Writing" you can set up the newly created category as a default post category for your site.
And of course, don't forget to delete the default "uncategorized" category from the available categories. You don't need it anymore and just looks ugly in the "Categories" panel displayed in the sidebar of your site.
13. Posting by email
This is a quite interesting feature ... Instead of logging in and posting content in the traditional way, you can set up Wordpress to automatically post content you email to your site.
All you need to do is to define your mail server, the username and the password:
It's not a feature that will used by any regular Wordpress user, but for many people (for example, those who travel a lot) could be a real life saver.
And that's it my friends!
If you have any comments, further questions or update requests please don't hesitate to react!
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.
