Hello and welcome.
Now in this video we are going to take a look at all of the elements of the menu when you log into the
dashboard.
In particular you're going to notice that at the top right hand corner you're going to notice that you
have your profile icon.
And when you hover over that icon you're going to see that you have your user name and you have a place
where you can edit your profile.
So we're going to start the process right there by going to the edit my profile area.
Now one of the things that you're going to see right away is that you're going to have the ability to
disable the visual editor and that means the wheezy wig or the What You See Is What You Get.
Ed you typically are going to want to keep that there unless you know HCM all very well.
You can actually change the look of the color scheme of the inside of your WordPress site and you can
do that by clicking any one of these buttons.
And this is really just more of a preference and you'll see the colors are changing on the side there.
You can also enable keyboard shortcuts.
And once again this is something that's optional.
You don't have to do it and all it does is it helps you to be more efficient when you're working with
Wordpress.
Now the toolbar is what you'll see here at the top.
So you can actually have it so that your toolbar doesn't show up when you enter the site and you can
actually click that or leave it checked not in the name area.
You'll notice that your user name can't be changed but you can add a first name and a last name for
your or your log in it for your site.
Your nickname is required.
And then you can decide on how your nickname is going to be displayed publicly.
And if you want to change how it's going to be displayed publicly what you can do is you can click this
drop down menu and you're going to see some names there.
You can also write in some
and you can actually when you say that you're going to have that as an option available to you here.
So we're going to do is we're going to stop this and we're gonna save update our profile.
We're going to come back to this area where it says display the name publicly and you gonna notice that
we can actually have that as our display name.
The one that we put there as a nickname this email is going to be the one where all of our notifications
about our site are going to come this Web site is one that you can change.
And wherever you want your user name to be associated with a specific Web site you can put it there.
You can put whatever Web site there that you want to have their.
Now this area you're going to be able to put some biographical information about yourself and this is
going to matter when you actually update what's called your gravity which you're going to show you here
in the minute.
And this information will appear every place that you log in with this user name around the Internet.
Now you can actually generate a new password that's going to have several different kinds of of elements
in it that will make it hard for you to have someone gets it.
But in most cases you're going to want to leave it to something that you can get into readily OK.
So once you've updated all that information you're going to want to click Update profile
and then your profile will then be ready for you to use.
However you'd like to have it as you use your WordPress Web site OK.
So with that thanks and I'll see you in another video.
