Making a UMW Site

This tutorial assumes that you have already created an account or site in umwblogs. If you have not, you can find resources to help you set up here. Images for creating a umw site:

1. Click "Appearances" and then "Themes." This will take you to our selection of available themes, you will need the "Official UMW site" by Cathy Finn-Derecki.

2. Find the theme in the collection, it should be on page 7. Click activate theme. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5039209147_3e1511f47d.jpg

3. Create a static page. Note: Your site will already have an "About" page, but in this tutorial I went ahead and made a new page with a better title. 3a. Click new page. Pages unlike posts stay the same and are thus "static." http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5039180695_c5d285d331.jpg 3b. Click reading to get to set your new page as a static page. This will be the front page that your visitors will see.

Your site will remain the same until you have edited it. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5039180817_ef647d8079.jpg

4. Set the header for your website. Note: The UMW theme requires you to go to the back end of the website and select your header. Start by clicking theme options in the appearance category on the left sidebar. You will have an option on the next page to select the UMW header you need. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4150/5039180613_1a38aa9220.jpg
