Learn how to use your new Sport24 blog
A Page is another tool to add content to your blog and is often used to present “static” information about the site; Pages are typically “timeless” in nature. A good example of a Page is the information contained in “About” or “Contact” Pages.
Pages live outside of the normal blog chronology, and as such, are not displayed with the rest of your Posts, but are displayed individually and most often linked to from within your main menu.
All Pages
The All Pages Screen provides the necessary tools to edit, delete, and view existing Pages. On this Screen you can select the Page to edit or delete. Multiple Pages can be selected for deletion and for editing. As with Posts, a powerful bulk edit tool allows certain fields to be edited for a whole group of Pages. A handy in-line edit tool, called Quick Edit, allows you to update many fields for an individual Page. Various search and filtering options allow you to find the Pages you want to edit or delete.
Add New Page
The Add New Page Screen allows you to create new Pages. See the WordPress Pages article if you’d like to read more about creating Pages for your blog.
Comments
You’re going to be so much happier with your level of control over your comments!
Comments can now be controlled and regulated through the use of filters for language and content, and can be queued for approval before they are visible on the web site. This is very useful in dealing with comment spam.
In the Comments Screen you can edit and delete as well as mark comments as spam. Comments that are awaiting moderation can be marked as approved or previously approved comments can be unapproved. Multiple comments can be selected and approved, marked as spam, unapproved, or deleted. A section at the top of the Comments Screen displays the number of comments awaiting moderation and the number of approved comments. A search box allows you to find specific comments.
Detailed Comment Settings are discussed in the Settings Menu (further down).
Appearance
Themes
A Theme is the overall design of a site and encompasses colour, graphics, and text. A Theme is sometimes called the skin.
Widgets
Widgets are cool gadgets or gizmos that you can add to your sidebar content. Widgets, for example, can be used to add Categories, Archives, Blogroll, Recent Posts, and Recent Comments to your sidebar.
And adding widgets to your sidebar is really easy! All you have to do is drag and drop them to the position you’d like them in within your sidebar. You can’t break anything, so play around and find out what each of them can do for you.
Header & Background
The Background feature allows you to manage the look and feel of the background for your theme.
If you don’t like the one we’ve given you, just upload your own background. In fact, I suspect many of you more seasoned bloggers have done that already!
Users – your blogging family
Every blog probably has at least two users: admin (that’s us), and the user account (that’s you). But maybe you want more; perhaps you want several authors for your blog. If you want a person to be able to post to your blog, that person must have access to a user account within your blog.
Via the Users option in the main navigation menu you can set up all of the user accounts you need, as well as change user information, or delete users.
An important administrative feature here is the Roles feature. Depending on their Role, different users have different Capabilities. Briefly, a user can be assigned the following Roles: Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor, or Subscriber.
You can also specify your, and others’, personal information, such as name, e-mail, etc. from these User Administration Screens.
All Users
You can manage the accounts of all your blog site’s users at the All Users Screen.
Add New User
You can create new users with the Users Add New Screen. (Aargh! Captain Obvious strikes again!)
Your Profile
This screen allows you to change any information related to your user account (avatar, display name etc).
