What are the experiences of newbies using wordpress to build a website?

I have been learning to use wordpress to make an independent blog this week. Then I also accumulated some rookie experiences. I recorded it to help novices like me. Experts, please don’t laugh.

One theme

1.1 Column position

Themes are generally divided by the number of columns. Some themes support changing the position of the entire sidebar, such as the k2 I am using now. By default, from left to right, they are main text, sidebar, and sidebar. Later, I adjusted it to sidebar, main text, and sidebar. There are related options in the theme's k2 options.

　1.2 Widget usage

The latest version comes with widgets, and you can change the position of the gadgets yourself. k2 is more convenient and supports quick dragging between sidebars

　1.3 Theme Chineseization

Like Bus, wordpress can also change themes, but there are relatively few Chinese themes. I also slowly translated the relevant text into Chinese. I think the better way to Chineseize it is to use Dreamweaver to search the entire theme folder, find the corresponding keywords in the source code (usually in quotation marks), and then modify it to Chinese. When saving, pay attention to the encoding problem. Change ANSI to UTF-8 to support Chinese display.

　二 Plug-ins

The most powerful thing about wordpress is its scalability, there are too many plug-ins.

Let me summarize the plug-ins I am using now. I personally think they are quite practical.

　1 all-in-one-seo-pack

Because everyone is using it, of course novices should also use it. It is said that it can be easily found by search engines such as Google, Cat, Sohu.

　2 subscribe-to-comments. This allows visitors to subscribe to comments so that they know when someone has responded, which can enhance interaction.

　3 different-posts-per-page. This can set the number of articles displayed on different pages.

　4 wp-thread-comment. This can enhance WordPress’ replies and add the function of nested replies.

　5 wp-db-backup. For backup, with this thing, you can also shout like the Terminator, "I am back in Terminator 4"

　6 wp-mail-smtp. This allows information such as backups, new comments, and review comment notifications to be sent to the designated email address for easy and timely viewing. As a newbie, I just barely managed to set it up successfully. Please ask the gugou master for relevant settings.

　7 wp-kit-cn. This is also very easy to use and is suitable for Chinese people's habits. It can add practical widgets such as the latest comments.

　8 audio-player. This allows you to insert audio very well when writing articles, and it is very simple, not simple (suspected of advertising~~)

　9 Sidebar player (although it is inserted, it is not actually a plug-in). I use blogcastone, which looks basically the same as audio-player, which makes me look everywhere for ways to use audio-player in the sidebar. Usage: Add a text widget to the sidebar and add the following code (don’t forget to add a song~~)

　10 ajax-random-posts. This can display random articles after the article to bring old articles to light again. (Some articles don’t even remember that they have been written just by looking at the title.)

　11 tsj_ajax_comment. You can add emoticons after the comment. I downloaded the Tuzki version~~

　12 wp-cumulus. This is a very interesting tag cloud plug-in. It displays tags in a sphere. It supports widgets and is available for download in Chinese.

Three others

There are many details Some areas still need to be adjusted, such as the font color, size, position, border, and background of the corresponding column. Use Dreamweaver to search for keywords to determine the position, and then modify it. It is more convenient for a novice.
