Free Small Business Web Site 12 – Fancy Stuff
November 5th, 2008 | by Conrad Walton |Now that you have all of your pages, which has created all of your menus, and are filled with all of your content, what else do you want the site to do? On your free Wordpress.org web site, under the “Design” menu, there’s an item called “Wigets”.
Widgets add some bit of functionality to your site in the side bar. Every site has a body, a main section where all of your content goes. Each one will probably have at least one “sidebar” and maybe 2 or even 3.
These are those areas at the side of the main content. There are a set of installed widgets that come with your site. Each will display something in the side bar.
First, pick a sidebar to use. There’s a drop down at the top to pick and then hit “show”.
Second, pick a widget to add and hit “add” next to it. This will pop it over to the side bar. You can click and drag each one to change the order from top to bottom.
Each widget may have some options that you can change. Click on the “Edit” link on each one to see what the options are for each. When you’ve made your changes, click “change” to make the changes stick.
If you want to remove a widget, click “edit”, then “remove” and it’ll go away.
When you’re done messing with your widgets and your options, click on the “Save changes” link at the bottom, or you’ll lose everything.
After you’ve saved everything there, go back and view the front end of the site. Make sure that the right things are showing up in the right places with the right information. If everything is good, you should actually be done with your web site at this point.
