Exploring <strong>WordPress</strong> Settings<br />

From the <strong>WordPress</strong> dashboard, locate<br />

the Settings menu. If we hover over this menu, you’ll see<br />

a submenu appear <strong>with</strong> options for various <strong>WordPress</strong><br />

settings including:<br />

• General<br />

• Writing<br />

• Reading<br />

• Discussion<br />

• Media<br />

• Permalinks<br />

<strong>WordPress</strong> General Settings<br />

To get started, expand the <strong>WordPress</strong> settings menu.<br />

Click General Settings.<br />

The first thing you’ll notice in General Settings is your Site<br />

Title and Tagline. You’ll want to make sure these titles<br />

match your site because your site title will be visible in<br />

Google search results. By default, <strong>WordPress</strong> includes<br />

“just another <strong>WordPress</strong> site” as your site’s tagline. You’ll<br />

probably want to update this tagline to be descriptive of<br />

your site, because the site tagline will also show up in<br />

Google search results for your site.<br />
