WordPress gives the user all the tools they need to set up their own website or blog and installation takes just five minutes. Having completed this installation, they are presented with a choice of the many WordPress functions and features. Even the least experienced PC user will find the whole process is not nearly as intimidating as it seems, as there are a host of WordPress tutorials available to guide them through every step.
It is entirely up to the user just how many WordPress functions they choose to make use of on their site; each setup can be as simple or as complicated as they wish. Installing the default WordPress Theme initially, allows the user to explore and discover how things work before deciding on any changes they would like to make. A Theme is the layout or presentation of the website; how it looks overall, and each website or blog owner has their own idea of how they want their site to look.
One of the newest WordPress functions, introduced since version 1.5, is the WordPress Dashboard, which keeps the user current with new information and updates from WordPress, as well as any recent activity by the site owner.
Another feature called the Presentation Panel allows the choice of hundreds of different Themes to change the overall look of the site, without changing anything else therein. The main menu and admin panel will take the user step-by-step through all the features and set up of a WordPress site, while further help here and in the use of all the available WordPress functions can be found amongst the many WordPress tutorials on offer.
