00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,460
Hello and welcome.

2
00:00:01,460 --> 00:00:07,310
Now in this video we are going to take a look at all of the elements of the menu when you log into the

3
00:00:07,310 --> 00:00:08,330
dashboard.

4
00:00:08,330 --> 00:00:12,860
In particular you're going to notice that at the top right hand corner you're going to notice that you

5
00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:15,310
have your profile icon.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,500
And when you hover over that icon you're going to see that you have your user name and you have a place

7
00:00:21,530 --> 00:00:23,330
where you can edit your profile.

8
00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:28,160
So we're going to start the process right there by going to the edit my profile area.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,960
Now one of the things that you're going to see right away is that you're going to have the ability to

10
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:38,190
disable the visual editor and that means the wheezy wig or the What You See Is What You Get.

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,060
Ed you typically are going to want to keep that there unless you know HCM all very well.

12
00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:50,600
You can actually change the look of the color scheme of the inside of your WordPress site and you can

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,000
do that by clicking any one of these buttons.

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,880
And this is really just more of a preference and you'll see the colors are changing on the side there.

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,820
You can also enable keyboard shortcuts.

16
00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:07,640
And once again this is something that's optional.

17
00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:12,170
You don't have to do it and all it does is it helps you to be more efficient when you're working with

18
00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:13,940
Wordpress.

19
00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:17,850
Now the toolbar is what you'll see here at the top.

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,580
So you can actually have it so that your toolbar doesn't show up when you enter the site and you can

21
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:30,380
actually click that or leave it checked not in the name area.

22
00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:36,200
You'll notice that your user name can't be changed but you can add a first name and a last name for

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,070
your or your log in it for your site.

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,930
Your nickname is required.

25
00:01:40,940 --> 00:01:46,250
And then you can decide on how your nickname is going to be displayed publicly.

26
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:50,600
And if you want to change how it's going to be displayed publicly what you can do is you can click this

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,110
drop down menu and you're going to see some names there.

28
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:56,150
You can also write in some

29
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:10,670
and you can actually when you say that you're going to have that as an option available to you here.

30
00:02:10,670 --> 00:02:15,920
So we're going to do is we're going to stop this and we're gonna save update our profile.

31
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,200
We're going to come back to this area where it says display the name publicly and you gonna notice that

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,760
we can actually have that as our display name.

33
00:02:24,770 --> 00:02:31,600
The one that we put there as a nickname this email is going to be the one where all of our notifications

34
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,370
about our site are going to come this Web site is one that you can change.

35
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,360
And wherever you want your user name to be associated with a specific Web site you can put it there.

36
00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:49,710
You can put whatever Web site there that you want to have their.

37
00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:54,800
Now this area you're going to be able to put some biographical information about yourself and this is

38
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,210
going to matter when you actually update what's called your gravity which you're going to show you here

39
00:02:59,210 --> 00:03:00,120
in the minute.

40
00:03:00,230 --> 00:03:07,930
And this information will appear every place that you log in with this user name around the Internet.

41
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:14,290
Now you can actually generate a new password that's going to have several different kinds of of elements

42
00:03:14,350 --> 00:03:18,080
in it that will make it hard for you to have someone gets it.

43
00:03:18,190 --> 00:03:24,700
But in most cases you're going to want to leave it to something that you can get into readily OK.

44
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:28,450
So once you've updated all that information you're going to want to click Update profile

45
00:03:31,490 --> 00:03:34,690
and then your profile will then be ready for you to use.

46
00:03:34,790 --> 00:03:40,290
However you'd like to have it as you use your WordPress Web site OK.

47
00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:43,430
So with that thanks and I'll see you in another video.
