Title: After installing wordpress Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # After installing wordpress * [Howardsm86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howardsm86/) * (@howardsm86) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/) * Hello, I am new to wordpress and website building. I had someone helping me out but he has fallen into a depression and I need some help. I was wondering what needs to be done after installing wordpress and setting up my theme to make it look good. I have my theme picked out and have a header. Your help is very much appreciated 🙂 Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2719915) * > I was wondering what needs to be done after installing wordpress and setting > up my theme to make it look good. * Post 🙂 * [Rev.

So I don’t think anything needs done. I feel the WordPress looks fab the way it is! * Thread Starter [Howardsm86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howardsm86/) * (@howardsm86) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2720125) * here check it out… I’m not sure if you are able to view it, but here is my site lovetoloveu.com. What needs done before I can start making a little money from blogging? <—- I guess that was the real question. 🙂 * [Gabe Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabeyoung/) * (@gabeyoung) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2720130) * As Ipstenu stated, post. Out of the top 10 things to do, the first 11 are to add quality content. * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2720143) * > What needs done before I can start making a little money from blogging? * You need an audience. Much like you can only lose weight via diet and exercise, you can only make money off your site by advertising and attracting readers. * Thread Starter [Howardsm86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/howardsm86/) * (@howardsm86) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2720159) * Please check out my site and tell me what you think needs to be edited or added… [http://www.lovetoloveu.com](http://www.lovetoloveu.com).

I have my website up. I put a tag on each of my posts (maybe I should put more than one tag). I want to optimize my site so search engines can find me easily. I have a book I am following, but it is really more information than I can chew on as a beginner. * I think I need to add trackback, right? And there is some sort of an “all-in- one” search engine optimizer plug-in I should add (there are others according to the book, but I guess I need only one. * I also want to enable readers to get notification of my new posts. How is that done? RSS? * Thanks for any help you can offer a grandmother!!! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2720237) * Please post your own topic. * [turntothewright](https://wordpress.org/support/users/turntothewright/) * (@turntothewright) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-installing-wordpress/#post-2720238) * I’m sorry.
