A plugin is a tool that you can use to extend the functionality of your website. Think of it as similar to an app that you can download onto your phone to give it additional features. WordPress, the program that is used to create your website, is designed in a way to allow for maximum customization, and this is accomplished through the use of plugins. The basic WordPress program contains everything you need to be able to create pages and blog posts, and you can add all of the additional features you want by installing the appropriate plugins. Most WordPress plugins are free. If you can think of a feature you want on your website, chances are a plugin has already been created for it. You can find plugins in a couple different ways. One way is to log in to your website content management system at domain. com/wp-admin. On your dashboard expand the “plugins” menu in the column on the left-hand side of the page. Click on “add new. ” A search box will pop up that will allow you to

This is not a bill – you ve already been charged – this is simply a copy of your invoice that you can keep for your own records. In this tutorial we ll review your initial invoice and help you understand your charges. Let s take a look at what your invoice will look like. Note: You re invoice may not look exactly like the invoice in the example below, but it should have the same basic components. Notice that where it says "Total Current Charges" the amount is $0. 00 (circled in the image below). This is because your credit card has already been charged. Again, this is only a courtesy copy of your invoice for you to keep for your records, not an actual bill. Note: If your payment did not go through for some reason, you will see a dollar amount there instead of $0. 00. You must pay this amount to avoid
