The first thing you see when you login to WordPress is the Dashboard. In fact, you see so much of the WordPress Dashboard, that most users tend to take it for granted. Before you rush off to add a post or moderate your comments, spend a few minutes getting to know the WordPress Dashboard. You’ll be surprised by how much of useful information there is on the Dashboard.
This video provides a complete overview of the Dashboard and shows you how to customize it to your meet your needs.
Once again I am grateful for your training video. It is well worth the time it takes (short and informative) expecially for beginners. Thank you
Kirk,
Many thanks for these very useful videos.
As someone who was new to WordPress only a few days ago, and in a hurry to proceed, your videos are the most useful training I’ve found so far. They cover the things I need to know at this stage, are concise, well paced and well presented. I’ve watched them all!
Thank you
Good stuff. I am going to listen to rest of these videos. Wish I had found this several months ago.
Very clear information – thank you. I agree with Deborah – I only wish I had found this training months ago – I would have saved so much time.
I too wish I had found you long ago. I would have more site up by now. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I like the few vids I watched so far, – - just wish the sound was more consistent.
You seem to ‘trail off’ a lot when speaking.
Thanks for the feedback Tom, and sorry about that. Audio quality is becoming more consistent as the videos are updated with each new version.
Thank you so much for the site. It is my 2nd day on WordPress and i am learning very fast all thanks to your videos.
I have a question. How do i upload my picture to my profile on the site? I would like people to see it when i leave a comment. At the top left it has an ‘edit profile’ button but there is no option to upload a picture.
Thank you in advance.
Just found the answer. It is in Gravatar. Dont worry about it )))
Hi Alina, I was just about to point you in that direction. Glad you found the answer!
Hi Kirk,
I have a blog form more than one year and I don’t have pluggins on my dashboard. How is this posible?
Hi Goncalo,
The plugin box is probably hidden. Try clicking “Screen Options” in the upper right hand corner of your screen. Check the box next to Plugins and you should see those on your dashboard.
Rick,
Not on mine… I don’t have wordpress.org would this be the reason?
Yep, that’s the problem. No plugins on WordPress.com.

It’s under Settings. You can watch the video here.
