I have been reading a tutorial on using WP. The first thing it said to do was to configure WP. I have done some of the things suggested, but there are some things I don't understand how to do.
1. Remove or rename default post category. The standard post category in WordPress is set to “Uncategorized” with the same for the Slug. You don’t want that, you should have the main topic of your site reflected in that category. On this site that is set to “WordPress CMS”.
I can see where to do this, I just don't know what to put in the space.
2. Delete or rename default and create new link categories. The default for links in WordPress is “Blogroll” and you can leave it that way but I prefer to alter it, in my case into “Website Building”
Once again I see where to do this, but don't know what to put in the space.
3. Change the image settings. I change this for security to. The default is wp-content/uploads and I create a directory in the root called “images” and change the image settings to point to that directory. It makes it easier for me to open this directory for search engine robots to come in and index my images for image searches. You can change this under settings->Miscellaneous->Store uploads in this folder. Ps. make sure the folder has write permissions for WordPress uploading, be sure to test this.
I don't see image settings anywhere.
I guess that is enough for now. I'll work on some more for later. Thanks for you help!
