Setting up new plugins in wordpress can be done via a couple of ways. One way is to find and install plugins from within wordpress and another is to download them, extract them, and then upload them to your server.

By default, Atahualpa causes sections of table to be highlighted when someone moves their mouse over them. While that is nice, I prefer to control which tables have this effect.

By default, Atahualpa stripes all tables that it displays. While table striping is nice, I find it a lot better to specify which tables I want to use striping on.

If you are using the Atahualpa theme, you may want to replace or remove the three blocks which display to the left of your site title.

The theme Atahualpa can display banners if you wish it to. In fact, it can display random banners. While there are quite a few options, this quick tutorial will cover setting up a single banner with the Atahualpa theme and the various settings within it which relate to displaying banners.

While using the default display for WordPress is fine, I feel it is worth the little bit of extra effort to change the way WordPress creates your posts and pages.

If you make changes to the themes you use or build your own themes, you should do so with care, especially if you are using a newer wordpress version that has syntax highlighting built into it.

Unless you want to use the default wordpress theme ( which is fine for a basic blog, but not so great for a store traffic website ), you will need to select a suitable theme and then get it setup on your site.

If you are not sure which directory in a WordPress theme is the main directory for it, locate the directory with a style.css file in it.

Installing wordpress is fairly quick and simple with hosts offering cpanel access.
