YOU’LL NEED THIS

WORDPRESS SERVER

Any reputable web host will do, or you can host it yourself on your own server.

YOUR WORDPRESS WEBSITE is up, running, secure, backed up and looking exactly as you wanted. But you’ve barely scratched the surface of what you can do with a WordPress site. To finish off this four-part series we’ll look at several ways in which you can make better use of it, from setting up contributors to help you fashion content, to finding ways to tweak your site’s settings to maximize performance and make things better for your site’s visitors.

There’s also time to explore how to set up a commenting system, plus benchmark-and improve-the visibility of your website with search engines, helping you drive more traffic to your pages. We’ll even take a look at three types of plugin to add money-making capabilities to your site, from an online store to a subscription-based paywall to lock certain content away.

Once you’ve explored all these avenues, what next? It goes without saying that you should bookmark WordPress’s own support pages (https://wordpress.org/support)-a mixture of online documentation and community support through forums-but also take a look at CreativeBloq’s curated list of 40 brilliant WordPress tutorials (http://bit.ly/MPCcreativebloq) to give you more ideas, tips, and tricks to follow.
