Install And Edit WordPress

If you DO NOT have a host or domain, please use BLUEHOST.COM. And you will need one; can’t use wordpress.com.

I have four full video tutorials from the moment you register for a domain to actually customizing the theme’s control panel. Sweet? Sweet.

Let’s begin.

1. Registering Your Own Domain Name

You need your own domain name and host (I suggest Bluehost) in order to have a customized theme; cannot use wordpress.com.

2. Setting Up FTP

This allows you to transfer files from your computer to your server.

3. Setting Up an SQL Database

You will need a database to store all of the information, posts, pictures and etc.

Customizing The Theme

You will not need to understand codes to customize this theme, it’s all click click click!

Ads

Install the WP125 plugin and you’ll be able to upload your own ads and monitor the number of click through. Note: It is not yet compatible with WordPress 3.0, so check first!

I understand that some of you might not have the time to install a WordPress blog or theme. Therefore, the following people can help out for a small creative fee.

Make sure you present them with a receipt of purchase and hosting / domain name ready to expedite your process.
