Users
MULTIPLE USERS
It is good practice never to share your login
credentials with anyone.
If you need to give someone else access to your
website, you can create a new user.
There are different levels of access that a user can
be assigned.
ACCESS TYPES
Administrator – somebody who has access to all
the administration features within a single site
Editor – somebody who can publish and manage
posts including the posts of other users
Author – somebody who can publish and manage
their own posts
Contributor – somebody who can write and
manage their own posts but cannot publish them

comments on your site.

You can also enable / disable comments on
individual posts and pages.
COMMENTS SETTINGS
If you enable comments, make sure to change at
least a couple of settings so that you can approve
the comments before they appear on the site:
Settings | Discussion |

GRAVATARS

You assign an image to an email address. Every
time you then use that email address to log into,
or comment on a WordPress site, that image will
appear next to your name.

WHY HAVE A DOMAIN NAME
Every website has a domain name / URL e.g.
molecularcodewebdesign.com
WordPress.com gives you a free name for your
website e.g. basilisk2001wp.wordpress.com
If you prefer, you can buy (register) different
domain name e.g. mysite.com or myname.com
THROUGH WORDPRESS.COM
$18/yr - you can register a new domain name
through WordPress.com and have them map it to
your existing WordPress.com website.
Store | Domains |
THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE
$13/yr - Or you can buy the domain name from
somewhere else, then have WordPress.com map it
to your WordPress.com website.
