Next week, we'll look at plugins and widgets.

Site should contain at least 10 pages of content. This could be blog posts, product information, general articles, etc. A “page” should consist of at least a paragraph of information or something similar. “Lorem Ipsum” or similar placeholder content is not acceptable. Do not take content from other websites unless you wrote that content yourself, or unless it’s content for your company, your client, or a site you’re redesigning in some way and you have permission to use the content. (Please indicate as such in the document you turn in with the assignment.)
Site should demonstrate that you understand the difference between pages and posts in WordPress.
Site should contain images. You do not have to have images on every page, but you should demonstrate that you understand how to insert images into posts and pages in your website.
Site should include a blog. Since this is part of WordPress’s core functionality, this should not be too hard. By default, your blog is located on the home page of the website, but this is not required. You may move the blog to another area of the site and make something else the home page.
Site should contain a menu visible and accessible on each page of the site. The menu may be styled however you choose, with or without dropdowns. You may include more than one menu if you wish.
