00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:00,870
Welcome back.

2
00:00:00,870 --> 00:00:06,270
Now in this video we're going to be going over the settings menu and we're going to go first to the

3
00:00:06,270 --> 00:00:08,340
reading tab which is the next tab down.

4
00:00:08,910 --> 00:00:14,490
And you're going to notice that in the reading settings we can actually dictate how many blog posts

5
00:00:14,550 --> 00:00:17,040
are going to show on a particular page.

6
00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:25,270
So we can dictate and we can say we want to have less or fewer posts or we can have more posts and this

7
00:00:25,270 --> 00:00:31,240
is so you can actually start to see how your post is going to look and and the reality is that each

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,480
theme that you put on your WordPress site is going to change the nature of it.

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,960
And so you are going to come back to these settings over and over again whenever you add a new theme

10
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:43,490
or whenever you add and you plug in.

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,740
The same thing is going to be true for the syndication feeds.

12
00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:50,320
And typically you're going to want to keep this equal.

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,190
So Syndication Feeds showed the most recent 10 items.

14
00:00:54,220 --> 00:01:00,760
So when you're WordPress site is feeding into an RSS feed you want that RSS feed to show the last ten

15
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:06,100
items that you have posted you might want to start showing less or more depending on how frequently

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,660
you update your site.

17
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:14,860
But again this is going to change over time as you start to do more and more with your site inside of

18
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:15,730
an RSS feed.

19
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:19,350
You can actually dictate how much the reader is going to be able to see.

20
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:23,610
If you want them to have a summary so that they have to come back to your site to read the rest click

21
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:28,090
summary if you want them to read the whole thing so that they might be interested in more of what you

22
00:01:28,090 --> 00:01:28,760
have to say.

23
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:35,160
You'll click full text and again this is going to vary depending on what your business model is.

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,960
Now this button is going to be very important because you don't want to make your site visible to the

25
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,270
search engines until it's ready to go live.

26
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:48,580
And so you can discourage search engines from indexing the site so that people can find it by search

27
00:01:48,910 --> 00:01:50,860
but you can also encourage them.

28
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:56,080
So one of the things that you can do when you first start your site is to click this button and then

29
00:01:56,110 --> 00:02:02,770
this will discourage search engines from actually showing your pages on Google and being and all the

30
00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:07,600
other search engines until you until this button and make it ready.

31
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:16,820
So once we've done that we can click save changes and we can go on to the discussion tab the discussion

32
00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:23,150
tab is really for those things that occur on your site where you are interacting with other people who

33
00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:24,260
are coming to the site.

34
00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:30,170
Therefore you'll see here that you have default articles settings and comment settings and you will

35
00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:36,920
be able to determine what you want to do based on how your interaction will be with your customers and

36
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:38,090
with your site visitors.

37
00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:43,610
And again all of these things are going to vary every time you do a new theme or you change something

38
00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:47,280
about your site or you change the way you're going to be doing business.

39
00:02:47,450 --> 00:02:51,440
All these things are going to be fairly straightforward so we're not going to go through these in detail

40
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:58,080
but you will want to change them every time you make a major change with your site.

41
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:03,060
Lastly we're going to go to the media tab and you're going to notice that we can control how WordPress

42
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:08,940
displays the images or the media that we're going to be uploading to our site to be used in our post

43
00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:10,090
and our pages.

44
00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:16,080
And these are going to be dictated by pixel size whether you're talking about medium or large and all

45
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,000
of these are going to give us options when we're actually writing in our post and in our pages.

46
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,760
Now one thing that WordPress will do is it will organize all of your images in folders based on the

47
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,740
month and date when you uploaded them.

48
00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:33,840
And this is going to make it easy for you to be able to go and find them if you need them or if you

49
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,420
have to go back and get them for some reason most of the time you're going to leave this checked and

50
00:03:39,510 --> 00:03:47,350
leave the default setting once we've done with those things we can click say changes and that's it for

51
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:48,400
this video.

52
00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:50,230
We will see you in another video.
