WordPress has a fairly robust list of settings. Many of these are really important to adjust when you start building your ePortfolio.
iThemes has a nice, brief video that walks you though many of the most important settings. You might open your Dashboard in a different browser window and adjust your Settings as the video unfolds.
(Find a written version of this tutorial at iThemes.)
Remember, it’s your ePortfolio. You can always change Settings whenever you want!
