What is WordPress?
WordPress is an open source blogging platform that allows you to build websites/blogs in the matter of minutes. WordPress has a strong community of developers which puts WordPress on the forefront of simple, professional website building. It couldn’t be any easier to build a website, than with WordPress. The community has collections of thousand of themes (change the look and feel of your site) free for download. The community also has thousands of plugins (adds additional functionalality, such as shopping carts, advertisement, contact forms, and more) free for download. All of this can be found on WordPress.org. To find the themes and plugins, check out http://www.wordpress.org/extend.
What you may not know about WordPress
Literally anyone can build a WordPress site in one sitting. It’s so easy I put this quick video together for you below, starting with the very basics. I walk you step by step, from the beginning on how you can get a website up with WordPress. You can build any type of website with WordPress, whether it be a e-commerce (sell products), membership, blog, download, forum, or any other site you can think of, WordPress can do. It’s time to start thinking of WordPress outside of it’s blogging roots. (I plan in the future to create a post, outlining further details on how you can create WordPress for a whole plethora of different type of sites, stay tuned). For now, here’s a video of me installing WordPress…
I wish I saw this video before I downloaded WP. Very nice. Do you have any tutorials on how to edit a theme without knowing html? Is that even possible? I’m completely lost
Thank you, unfortunately I don’t have any WordPress videos to them edits. There are a few theme frameworks out there that allow you to edit the layout of your theme without knowing code, but for most WordPress themes, it requires code editing.
Nice article. Thanks for the help!
Anthony, How the heck are you? First off, I agree that WordPress is the way to go, great post!
Can you help with these 3 issues:
1) I have the traffic getting SEO plugin and in my blog details I changed my extended blog title, which should change my title of my site but it doesn’t change, any ideas?
2) I’m looking for a dropdown menu plugin for my categories. I have many categories and it takes up a lot of vertical room, so to clean it up I was wandering if you knew of any plugins where it just opens and closes the categories in a dropdown. I’ve seen some that create navigation menus but I just want to open and close my category items.
3) What Adsense plugin do you use above to add Adsense blocks to individual posts only?
I know this might not be the palce to ask but I would really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Neil

I have the blog above, but want to do the website through WP, as it is so easy to use. Please let me know where to find the rest of this video.
Sincerely,
