Creating Your Own Workspace

The inline documentation, and the topics and text you find in the Help tab,

exist to assist users while they work with the WordPress platform, helping
make the experience as easy to understand as possible. Other places on the
Web that you can visit to find help and useful support for WordPress include
the WordPress Support Forums at http://wordpress.org/support.

Creating Your Own Workspace
Throughout the different pages of your WordPress Dashboard, you can
apply the customization features that we cover for the main Dashboard
page in the section “Arranging the Dashboard to Your Tastes,” earlier in this
chapter. Every section of the WordPress Dashboard is customizable, with
drag-and-drop modules, screen options, and inline help and documentation.
Figure 2-4 displays the Posts page in the WordPress Dashboard (the Posts page
is covered in greater detail in Book IV, Chapter 1), with the Screen Options
menu displayed, showing the different options for customization, including

✦ Check boxes that you can to select or deselect to display or hide,

respectively, the Author, Categories, Tags, Comments, and Date of
the posts listed on the Posts page
✦ A text box in which you can input the number of posts you want
displayed on the Posts page

The Help topics on the Posts page that appear when you
click the Help tab at the top of the page to display the inline documentation for the page.

In the Help menu on each page of the WordPress Dashboard, you can find
links that lead you to other areas on the Internet that contain additional help and support topics and resources so that you can find out more about the different WordPress features.
