One of the great things about WordPress is the way it can be customized. Without entering a smidgeon of code, you can choose how many posts are displayed, pick a static page for your front page, add or change your site’s title and tagline, and set sizes for your uploaded images and thumbnails.

You can access all the settings for your WordPress site through the Dashboard’s sidebar menu, under Settings.
