How to Customize a WordPress as CMS

1. Create pages for your site. The pages automatically show up in most themes' navigation bars. Decide which is going to become your 'Home' page.
2. Log into your WordPress Dashboard and click 'Settings,' then click 'Reading.' Select 'A Static Page' and then choose the page that will become your homepage. You may also select the page that will be your blog page, but it isn't necessary to do so.

3. Change the permalinks to better reflect your site. Click 'Settings,' then click 'Permalinks' and choose 'Custom Structure.' Enter '/tegory%/%postname%/' into the text box. Click 'Save' at the bottom of the page.
4. Create categories for posts. Remember to choose at least one category for every post. It helps WordPress organize your content when you do. You can even create menus based on these categories.
