    I am new to WordPress. Admittedly I was not aware of the how much I needed to know BEFORE I got started. So I am learning as I go. but at the moment I am not going to far.

    I am unable to change the appearance of my site. for example I would like to change the subtitle of my site. when I go to modify it the title and subtitle are subdued in a grey block. I am not able to make any changes. I have tried to changes other aspects of my site and I am not able to complete the action.

    Also, I would like to my site to be searchable on search engines. it was recommended that I install SEO by Yoast. I did. my side still doesn’t come up.

    I look forward to your response.

    Sincerely,

    Brian

    Hey Brian,

    In the admin area you should be able to change your title and subtitle by finding the navigation item named “Settings”. Both options are in fields at the top of the settings page.

    What other aspects are you looking to change? Do you have a link to your site that you can share? Also, do you know which theme you are using on your site?

    As far as the SEO goes, the WordPress SEO plugin is really good, but search engines could take a bit of time to index the site. There are also a variety of factor in how your site is ranked, including how you configure the SEO plugin, as well as well written post titles, content that contain some keyword that you think people may search for to bring them into your site, amongst others.

    If you want to learn more about SEO and configuring the plugin I would recommend reading this post by Yoast, and following up with more searching for other SEO tips and tricks.
