WHAT IS AN E-PORTFOLIO?
“An e-portfolio, also known as electronic
portfolio, digital portfolio, or electronic resume,
is a collection of documents that display your
skill sets and body of work. These documents
are displayed on the web on a page that the user
updates frequently. The e-portfolio is more
formal than a Facebook page but more creative
and open than a LinkedIn page.”

WHAT IS WORDPRESS?
• WordPress is web software you can use
to create a website or blog.

PAGES & POSTS
• Posts are entries listed in reverse
chronological order on the blog home page or
on the posts page if you have set one.
• Pages are static and are not listed by date.
• Pages do not use tags or categories.
• An About page is the classic example. Pages
can be displayed in the sidebar using the
Pages widget, and some themes display
pages in tabs at the top of the blog.
WIDGETS & PLUG-INS
• Plugins add extra functions beyond what your
theme provides, things like calendars, testimonial
boxes, slideshows, etc.

functionality and instruction how to enable it.
