If you’ve just installed wordpress and your url is missing the www in front (http://bridge-city-marketing.com instead of  http://www.bridge-city-marketing.com), not to worry, it’s an easy fix.

WordPress makes things easy. That’s one of its greatest features. You don’t have to be and HTML wizard to get your site looking the way you want it to.

Now, if you do an online search, you might see some solutions that use the .htaccesss file, and rewrite commands and all of that. But in WordPress, you don’t need to touch that file.

To get the www in your domain name in WordPress, just go to your admin area, and on the left navigation, go to Settings/general. Now you will see your domain name written twice, and I bet the www is missing in both of them. Now all you need to do is just put the www in the right place and hit save, and that’s it – you’re done.

And don’t forget, if you need a great design for you WordPress blog or website, shoot me an email – I would love to help!
