Nếu bạn mới bắt đầu với WordPress và bạn đang lo lắng về việc nên bắt đầu từ đâu, bạn đã đến đúng nơi bạn cần! Để bắt đầu với WordPress, bạn chỉ cần thực hiện từng bước một rất đơn giản. Hãy nhớ, nếu bạn cần trợ giúp, có nhiều tùy chọn để hỗ trợ bạn được liệt kê trong bài viết này. Chào mừng bạn đến với thế giới sôi động của WordPress!

Bước một - Đọc

Trước khi bạn đầu tư thời gian và công sức vào việc cài đặt WordPress, có một số tài liệu bạn cần phải đọc. WordPress là một sản phẩm tuyệt vời, rất dễ dàng sử dụng, khá mạnh mẽ, nhưng chưa chắc nó đã là phần mềm phù hợp cho tất cả mọi người. Giống như việc xây dựng một căn nhà, bạn phải sử dụng những công cụ phù hợp mỗi công việc khác nhau. Hãy xem xét việc tạo ra một file PDF để đọc trong thời gian rỗi của bạn.

Bước hai - Lên kế hoạch

The following documents will help you understand more about how WordPress works and how to make a plan for your WordPress site:

It is important to make a plan about how you want to use WordPress on your site. Here are some questions to ask yourself. Make a list of the answers so you can add to your plan.

Will you install WordPress in the root directory, subdirectory, or you just want to make a test site to make sure you want to use it?
Have you made a list of your site Categories? Understand that WordPress can only order Categories alphabetically by name or by ID (order entered through the Manage > Categories screen), so if the display order of your Categories is important to you, start making your list of Categories.
Have you made a list of Pages you may want to add to your site, such as About, Contact, or Events?

Step Three - Install WordPress

With this information and your plan, it's time to install WordPress.

Step Four - Set Up WordPress

With your installation complete, it's time to set up WordPress so it will work the way you want it to work. As you change various settings, it is recommended you view how those changes impact your site by frequently clicking the View Site link at the top of the Administration Screen. Though you may choose to do these steps in any order, your site will cause you fewer problems if you proceed in the following order:

Administering Your Blog
Users > Your User Profile - set the user information you want published on your site
Your User Profile > Other Users - add authors and users that will be using your site, if applicable
Options > General - set your site name and other site information
Options > Writing - set the settings of your Write Post screen
Options > Reading - set how many posts to show on the front page and in categories and your feed requirements
Options > Discussion - Turn on or off comments and set how to handle them
Manage > Categories - add a few categories to get started from your category list
Manage > Posts - After you have written a few posts, this is where you will manage them by editing or deleting
Presentation > Themes - maybe change the look of your site?
Manage > Pages - add a Page or two like "About Us" or "Contact Me"
Write > Write Post - start adding content to your site
Writing Posts - step-by-step instructions on writing posts
