    this is great. I am already getting this link to my clients for whom I set up blogs. I have them look at it and then we go over things. While things change every time WordPress updates, this still gives them the basic foundation.
    Thank you very much for this site.

    Hi Kirk,

    After writing a post, how do I get the title or content of that post to appear if a “search” is done within the Website? Excellent videos. Thank You

  22. Kirk says:

    Alex, the title and an excerpt should automatically be displayed in search results on your site. If your theme includes a template named “search.php” you can modify that to customize the search results layout.
