- 7. Plugins & Widgets Plugins Widgets A WordPress plugin allows you to add a function to WordPress by downloading a software script. There are thousands of plugins you can download for free that will make your WordPress installation more powerful. Some plugins are visible to the viewer of your WordPress while others are for the admin where only you can see they are present. A WordPress widget is an object you can add to your sidebar usually derived from a plugin. A widget is very important for your WordPress installation because the sidebar is where the action is other than your content. A well-organized sidebar is essential for reader interaction, and to explore other content on your WordPress.

Pages can be displayed in the sidebar using the Pages widget, and some themes display pages in tabs at the top of the blog. Posts are entries listed in reverse chronological order on the blog home page or on the posts page if you have set one in Settings → Reading. If you have created any sticky posts, those will appear before the other posts. Posts can be found in the Archives, Categories, Recent Posts, and other widgets. You can control how many posts are displayed at a time in the Reading Settings.
- 9. Menu, Categories, Tags Menus Tags Categories Menus will show in the header area at the top of your site (the main navigation area), though this location can vary from theme to theme. Category Page will allow you to create a filtered blog feed that displays only the posts from within a specific category. Only categories with at least one published post in them will appear in the list. Tags provide a useful way to group related posts together and to quickly tell readers what a post is about. Tags also make it easier for people to find your content. The use of tags is completely optional.
