How to login into dashboard

We have two options to login into control panel or dashboard. The first way and the fastest way is to go to your blog and at the end of URL of your blog just type: wp-admin and tap enter.

You were redirected to login page where you just fill in your username and password and click Log in button.

If the inserted characters were right you are now in your dashboard. If not, just try again
The other way is for the people who do not want to remember words and just want to click. For those there is a widget ready in their widgets section called Meta.
Just add it to your sidebar and now you can easily access to dashboard just by clicking “Site Admin“.

What is widget and why do we need it? Part 2

In previous part of the widget series I told you something about widgets more generally speaking: where can you find widgets in dashboard, what are they good for and what a widget is.
If you did not see the first part you can follow the link here: Part 1

In this post you will learn how to add video and image to widget.

For images is almost the same. The difference is just in the code you add, which is something like this:

<img src=”link-to-your-picture.jpg”>

Text in the red is always the same, text in black is the URL of the image you want to add.

If you want that your picture is a link to other website it has to look like this:

<a href=”link-to-page”> <img src=”link-to-your-picture.jpg”> </a>

First link is the connection to the page you want your picture to follow when you click on it. The other link is the URL of the image.

What is widget and why do we need it? Part 1

Widget is like a mini web application that you can put on your blog and can be easyily edited or modyfied. It provides your readers some information, extra functions.
It is usualy available in so called ready-to-use formats which means it is user friendly and easy to use. It can take a lot of forms like pictures, statistics, random text, actually anything.
If you want some link shows in a widget you just “copy” that code and “embed” it in your widget.

We use widgets in blog because of the easy implentation and when you dont like the spot where it is you just move it somewhere else.
