Ultimate Guide to the WordPress Dashboard

WordPress is an open source software system that has become the world’s most popular website-building platform. WordPress allows total flexibility over the design of each website and makes it incredibly easy for you, as the site owner, to edit existing content and add new content yourself.

The WordPress “admin dashboard” is the back end of your site, the behind-the-scenes part that isn’t visible to the public; the place your WordPress functions and the core itself reside. WordPress offers a great set of flexible and easily modified features and with some instruction you will be able to figure out how to manage the dashboard on your own.
