How to Use Widgets to Create Your HomePage and Sidebars
This is part 6 in our 6 part series on Designing your Blog or Website in WordPress. YEAY!! You made it to the end of the WordPress course!!
In this tutorial I share with you all about the magic of widgets and how to use widgets to create your homepage and sidebars.
Creating a homepage that is more than just a list of recent posts is really quite easy to do. Follow along as I show you a really great homepage layout that you can easily duplicate on your blog. This layout organizes your information and makes it easy for your readers to stay interacted with the most recent and relevant information.
We break this homepage layout into 3 areas:
- A Popular posts horizontal slider (In the video you will need to install a plugin and grab a shortcode. You can find both of those by clicking here >>)
- A full width RECENT post area
- Columns with RECENT posts from 4 specific categories below that.
NOTE: in the video I send you to a website for a grab button code. Click here for this code >>
Also in the video, I show you all my essential widgets that I use in all my sidebars. I’ll walk you step by step through setting up your full sidebar.
