Wacht! Voordat je dit leest, lezen deel 1.
Nu dat je hebt gekregen uw blog helemaal klaar, kunnen we beginnen kennis te maken met het.
Als u bent vergeten, Ik ben het schrijven van een voorbeeld blog terwijl we verder gaan, zodat u kunt volgen samen met deze handleiding.
Uw dashboard
Uw dashboard is waar je kunt beheren uw blog door het schrijven van nieuwe berichten, modereren commentaar, en. Dit is waar het allemaal naar beneden gaat, en uiteraard geen bezoekers zijn toegestaan in. Om uw dashboard te bezoeken, gaan naar <uw blog url.wordpress.com>/wp-admin en meld u aan met het wachtwoord en gebruikersnaam je je hebt aangemeld.
You’ll be greeted with your dashboard, which should look something like this.

Once you’re there, watch the video (it’s in the yellow box, but it didn’t show up in the screenshot.) That’s a good, if brief, introduction to the Dashboard.
The first thing you want to do is change your profiel – the link’s on the right side of the yellow box. Enter your name and display name (what your viewers will see your name as), as well as any social network accounts you have, if you feel like connecting with your readers.
You can also change the general settings; weer, the link’s on the right side of the yellow box. (Ja, it would be a good idea to read/click on all the stuff in that yellow box.)
While you’re at it, look at the menu bar on the left. That’s where you can make a new post, check out your comments, or make a poll. Click on a menu item to see some subitems. Take some time to look at what’s available to you in these menus and where to find it. (I’d recommend looking at the Posts, Appearance, and Settings menus at the very least.)
Make sure you change your Site Title, Tagline, and Time Zone in the Settings menu.
Tussen haakjes, je kunt collapse the menu bar (look under the settings tab) so it’s a lot less intrusive, not to mention easier to use.
At this point, you might have the flashiest date formatting on the web, but that’s not going to draw readers. This is what will.
Making your first post
Dat klopt! Your posts are the heart and soul of your blog. Go to the Post menu and click Add New.
You’ll see a standard text editor – it works just like a normal word processor would. Go ahead and type some stuff. (You can use bold, italic, en underline, and you can put in koppelingen too.) Not much to say here – you know what you want to write.
U kunt insert images that you’ve saved to your computer too. Click on the box next to “Upload/insert”, which will bring up the image insertion dialog. Choose the image you want to upload and fill out the text fields.

Once you’re done writing, just click Publiceren and voila! Your post has been published for the masses to feast their eyes on.
