Chapter 2. Setting Up Our Class Site

Now that WordPress is installed and we have explored the basics of the WordPress interface, it is time to set up our class site. The class site will serve as an example throughout the book, displaying how WordPress can be utilized as a means for instructors to communicate with their students. In this chapter we'll cover how to add and edit the pages and posts needed for a typical class site. We'll also enhance the look of our site with themes, add additional functionality using widgets, and improve our site's navigation with a custom menu.
