Glossary of WordPress Terms: Part 1 – Basic Parts of a WordPress Website
To help you understand WordPress and its functions we have provided a glossary of WordPress Terms.
We will be discussing the basic parts of a WordPress Website:
a. Header – this usually contains your logo, headline and tagline. Though it is up to you what you put inside your header.
- Headline – this is also called a Blog Title. In http://momsonlinehelp.com the Blog title is MomsOnlineHelp.Com.
- Tagline - this is your website slogan which is usually found right below your Headline. In http://www.nichedesignsinc.com/ the tagline is “Creating Storage Solutions For Small Spaces”
b. Navigation Bar – this is also called menu bar. The navigation bar contains links to your pages or categories. This can either be placed below the header or above the header depending on the WordPress Theme you used. In http://www.nichedesignsinc.com/ you can see that the navigation bar is below the header while in http://innta.com/ the navigation bar is above the header.
c. Body – this is your main content. This can be a video, text, picture, table or combination of these elements. In http://yourwordpressexpert.com/wordpress-theme-customization-services/ you will notice that we use a combination of text, table and pictures. You can easily add or edit the body of your website from your WordPress Dashboard.
d. Widget Area – this contains your widgets. Such areas can be found on the left or right sidebar, below your header or above your footer, depending on the WordPress Theme you installed. Read our article What is a Widget for a WordPress Website? to better understand widgets.
e. Footer – this is found below your main body. It usually contains your copyright information, address and other links.
Next week we will continue our discussion on the Glossary of WordPress Terms. We will be talking about the basic parts of the dashboard.
