Understanding the dashboard settings

The Dashboard (wp-admin) is the first screen you see when you log into the administration area of your blog.

You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/wp-admin)

The main idea of the dashboard is to give you a place where you can get an at-a-glance overview of what’s happening with your blog.

The features available to you in the Dashboard will depend on your user role. View a summary of these differences in EduBlogs ‘User Role Overview’.
