But what about when you\u2019re just starting out? Here\u2019s the A to Z of WordPress so that you understand what all the lingo means.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Appearance<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Appearance menu has all the items you need to make your website look unique. You access it from your Dashboard, and from there you can choose (or change) your theme, customise your theme, add widgets and change menus.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Blocks<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blocks are literally the building blocks of your website. WordPress released a new editor called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/a-beginners-guide-to-the-wordpress-gutenberg-editor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutenberg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a while ago that made creating pages and posts on your website even easier. Blocks are pre-built content areas designed to hold text, images, videos, audio, embedded links and more. When you\u2019re creating a post or page, you simply click the + button to add a block of your choice, and then fill it with the content you want. You can drag the blocks around to reorder the post or page, and even duplicate them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Categories<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Categories are a useful way of grouping together posts by subject matter, so that your visitors can easily find more information on a particular topic. Categories also help to organise the content on your site, because each category will have its own category page, with all the posts from that category in one place.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Comments<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comments are responses to posts and pages on your site &#8211; from you and the visitors to your site. They can be a great way of connecting to your visitors and finding out what they\u2019d like extra information about, but they\u2019re also a spam risk. It\u2019s a good idea to approve all comments before they\u2019re published. Do this by going to Settings &gt; Discussion from your Dashboard, and selecting \u2018Comment must be manually approved\u2019. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/how-to-disable-comments-in-wordpress\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how to disable comments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Customise<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the things that makes WordPress special is that, with a few tweaks, your website can look completely different to any other site &#8211; even if you both have the same theme. This is possible because of the customise function (Appearance &gt; Customise from your Dashboard). This function lets you create the site you want, with all the flexibility you need. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/5-reasons-to-choose-wordpress-for-your-website\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are 4 other reasons to choose WordPress.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Dashboard<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The WordPress Dashboard is the back-end home of your website. Here, you\u2019ll see all the various elements of your site and be able to navigate to any area. From the Dashboard you can write posts and pages, approve comments, switch themes and add plugins &#8211; it\u2019s the central hub of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>E-commerce<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is a flexible and powerful Content Management System (CMS) that works well as both a website and an e-commerce platform. Here are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/5-reasons-to-choose-wordpress-for-your-e-commerce-store\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 reasons to choose WordPress for your e-commerce store.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Gutenberg<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gutenberg is the name of the Block Editor WordPress uses. It\u2019s designed to be user-friendly and simple to understand, far more than the Classic Editor that WordPress used before it installed Gutenberg. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/a-beginners-guide-to-the-wordpress-gutenberg-editor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a beginner\u2019s guide to the Gutenberg editor.&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Media<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Media tab on your Dashboard contains all the media (images, video, PDFs etc) you have uploaded. You can upload a new image every time you create a new post or page, or access your Media Library to choose one you have previously uploaded.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Open-source<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress is often referred to as an open-source platform. This means that its code is freely available for anyone to download, modify, or redistribute: creating themes, plugins and apps that work with WordPress and that you can choose to use if you wish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Pages<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pages are static sections of your website. Posts are continually published updates or blog posts. Pages are a good way to organise your website\u2019s most important information &#8211; things like \u2018About\u2019 and \u2018Contact\u2019 will be pages, while \u2018News\u2019 or \u2018Blog\u2019 would be post pages. Pages don\u2019t have a date or time attached to them, and can be updated at any time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Plugins<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are over 50,000 plugins to choose from in the WordPress Plugin Directory, each of them offering a way to customise your website. There are plugins for SEO, redirects, security and so much more. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xneelo.co.za\/insights\/5-essential-plugins-for-wordpress-users\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are 5 essential plugins for WordPress websites.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Posts<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Posts will live on a page (generally a \u2018Blog\u2019 \/ \u2018News\u2019 \/ \u2018Updates\u2019 page) and are for timely information that you usually publish with a time and date. They are also called blog posts, and are published in reverse chronological order by default. You may choose to have a \u2018sticky\u2019 post that always remains at the top of your posts page. You may also choose to have your posts displayed on your home page, in a widget on your home page, or just on their own page.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Redirects<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A redirect is when a visitor is automatically redirected to a page other than the one they originally landed on. Redirects can be helpful if you need to change your site\u2019s domain or move a page. They\u2019re also beneficial to SEO because you can make sure your site content isn\u2019t lost to Google.
