Chapter 4Customizing and Fine-Tuning Your Blog

Visualize this thing that you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint, and begin to build.

Robert Collier

By following the instructions in the previous chapters, you should have a well-configured, basic installation of WordPress or a roughly equivalent setup for the platform of your choice.

In this chapter, you’ll step it up to the next level by fine-tuning and customizing your new blog so that it’s less bare-boned. You’ll take your basic blog and turn it into a full-fledged publication platform that’s carefully tailored to your needs and goals.
