Getting Started with WordPress 第一篇 开始WordPress之旅
今天是第一章 安装WordPress (Installation) 的 第二节 WordPress新手——从哪里开始 (New To WordPress - Where to Start)。
New To WordPress - Where to Start
If you are new to WordPress and you’re worried about where to start, you’ve come to the right place! Here is a very simple step-by-step plan for getting started with WordPress. Please remember, if you need help along the way, plenty of options for assistance are listed in this article. Welcome to the exciting world of WordPress!
After installing WordPress and going through the following process step-by-step, consider making your first plugin installation the Codex and Forum Searcher Plugin. It allows you to search both the WordPress Codex and WordPress Support Forum from your WordPress Administration Panels. Click on one of the search results and the page will open in a new window or tab so you can have the article or discussion open while working on WordPress. This will make your transition to WordPress a much gentler one with information right at your finger tips.
Step One - Read
Before you invest your valuable time and energy into installing WordPress, there are some documents you need to read. WordPress is a great product; it’s easy-to-use, it’s quite powerful, but it isn’t necessarily the right software for everyone. Just like building a house, you have to use the right tool for the right job. Consider creating a PDF to read at your leisure.

Step Two - Make a Plan
Based upon the information you’ve just read, including instructions on installing WordPress, you should have a list of the things you need, and the things you need to do. If not, make that list now–you’ll want to make sure it includes the following information:
Website Host Requirements Checked and Verified
Versions of PHP and MySQL Checked and Verified
Your Website Username and Password
Text Editor Software
An FTP Client Software
Your Web Browser of Choice
The following documents will help you understand more about how WordPress works and how to make a plan for your WordPress site:
WordPress Features
First Steps With WordPress
WordPress Lessons
It is important to make a plan about how you want to use WordPress on your site. Here are some questions to ask yourself. Make a list of the answers so you can add to your plan.
Will you install WordPress in the root directory, subdirectory, or you just want to make a test site to make sure you want to use it?
Have you made a list of your site Categories? Understand that WordPress can only order Categories alphabetically by name or by ID (order entered through the Manage > Categories screen), so if the display order of your Categories is important to you, start making your list of Categories.
Have you made a list of Pages you may want to add to your site, such as About, Contact, or Events?
Step Three - Install WordPress
With this information and your plan, it’s time to install WordPress.

Step Four - Set Up WordPress
With your installation complete, it’s time to set up WordPress so it will work the way you want it to work. As you change various settings, it is recommended you view how those changes impact your site by frequently clicking the View Site link at the top of the Administration Screen. Though you may choose to do these steps in any order, your site will cause you fewer problems if you proceed in the following order:
Administering Your Blog
Users > Your User Profile - set the user information you want published on your site
Your User Profile > Other Users - add authors and users that will be using your site, if applicable
Options > General - set your site name and other site information
Options > Writing - set the settings of your Write Post screen
Options > Reading - set how many posts to show on the front page and in categories and your feed requirements
Options > Discussion - Turn on or off comments and set how to handle them
Manage > Categories - add a few categories to get started from your category list
Manage > Posts - After you have written a few posts, this is where you will manage them by editing or deleting
Presentation > Themes - maybe change the look of your site?
Manage > Pages - add a Page or two like “About Us” or “Contact Me”
Write > Write Post - start adding content to your site
Writing Posts - step-by-step instructions on writing posts
Take time to explore the WordPress Codex site, the official documentation site for WordPress. You’ll find helpful information by reading WordPress Lessons, and these helpful documents:

WordPress 新手——从哪里开始
如果你是一个WordPress新手,而且不知道从哪里开始,那么你就来对地方了。在这里将教会你一步一步去学会使用WordPress。请记住,如果你这一路上需要任何帮助,在这里有各方面的帮助文档提供给你。欢迎光临令人激动的 WordPress 世界!
当你把 WordPress 安装完毕并打算接着一步一步进行后续操作,建议你安装的首个插件是WordPress源代码和论坛搜索插件。该插件允许你在WordPress的管理面板中搜索WordPress的源代码以及WordPress的支持论坛里的资源。点击其中的一个搜索结果页面,浏览器会打开一个新窗口或新标签,你可以看到相关的文章和讨论。通过这些正确的信息和信手拈来的小提示能让你由新手到老手的过渡更友好轻松。
第一步——阅读
在你投入宝贵的时间和精力去安装WordPress之前,你有必要仔细阅读WordPress的介绍文档。尽管WordPress是一个伟大的设计,它使用简单,而且十分强大,但它并不一定适合每一个人。正如建造一所房子,你必须将适当的工具用在适当的场合中工作。这就像你在闲暇时创建一个PDF文件供自己阅读,一样的道理。

你是否需要为你的日志分类制作列表?请注意,WordPress 中日志的分类只能按名称和类别ID的顺序排列(要管理分类,请点击“管理”链接>“分类”页面)。因此,如果你对分类的显示顺序比较在意的话,那就现在开始制作分类列表。
你需要在你的网站上添加相关的页面吗?比如说“关于”、“联系”、“事件”等页面。
