  2. Settings -> General (Set website name, date and time formats)
  3. Settings -> Permalinks (Set Permalink Settings to “Post name”)
  4. Theme (Find and install the theme that you are going to use)
  5. Website Header (Install the header for your website)
  6. Website Background (Setup the background for your website)
  7. Plugins (If you know the plugins that you are going to use, install them now.)
  8. Start loading the posts and/or pages (Content).
  9. Make tweaks to your theme to show the desired output.
