1. WHAT IS A CMS

A content management system or CMS for short is an application with the ability to create, modify and publish digital content. In most cases, it also supports multiple users, allowing them to work in collaboration.

For example, in WordPress it is possible to create several administrative users, each one having different privileges. Content management systems also include text and formatting features, the ability to upload videos, photos, audio, maps or even your own code.

      2. NAVIGATING IN THE WEBSITE ADMIN DASHBOARD

Once your website is complete and live, the first thing you would want to do is log in to the administrator dashboard.

The easiest way to log in to your administrator dashboard is by adding /wp-admin at the end of your website’s address like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin

This URL will direct you to the login screen where you will be asked to enter the log-in username and password. Remember, you received these details during design phase. If you have forgotten your password, click on the Lost your password? link.

After logging in, you will see the administrator dashboard. It’s built to give you an overview of your entire website and contains 3 main sections:

1. A toolbar at the top of the page. It contains links to the most commonly used administrative functions and resources. For example, if you hover over your website’s name, you will get a link to the public view of your site. It also displays simple notifications like updates and new comments count.
2. The main navigation menu on the left-hand side. It contains links to all administrative screens of WordPress. If you hover over a menu item, a submenu with additional items will be displayed.
3. The main work area, and quick step by step tutoral.

The first time you log in to the WordPress admin panel, you will see a welcome module which contains some useful links to help you get started.

Once you are comfortable with the dashboard, press the Dismiss button in order to hide this module.

Other Modules:

1. The activity box gives you a bit more information about your latest posts and comments. It shows the status of all comments and a shortlist of the most recent comments.
2. Quick Draft box. Entering content into this box will start a new blog post. However, you cannot publish one from here as this box is only for taking blog posts ideas for you to come back to later.
3. Must Watch Video Tutorials. This module displays the latest WordPress news.

Each of these windows has little arrows that you can use to quickly hide the box. You can also drag and drop them to different positions.
