One of the best worst things about WordPress is how easy hard it is to customize the way your website looks works acts makes your money. Did that seem almost like a game of MadLibs?
While there are many aspects to managing your WordPress installation and presence, most are secondary to understanding and taking care of your website’s theme. Simplistically a matter of what your site looks like, your theme controls everything not managed by WordPress itself, and depending on its design and how you tweak that can override even the mother ship’s directives for behavior.
It’s why we say you never “hack the core”.
