  • you nailed it! very easy to understand !

  • Well done. Straight forward and you didn't dribble once. Greatly appreciated

  • Great tutorial! However, I'm stuck at 27.06 When I log in it just says 'welcome to your new WordPress site. It shows my website name in the top right hand corner, but when I press 'visit site', it takes me back to the Hostgator 'getting started' screen. It was all going so well up until then! :o( Would appreciate any advice. Thanks

  • Hey Tyler! My friend and I are currently creating a website using WordPress, and before installing themes or plugins or widgets or anything at all, the site is asking for the Host name, FTP username and password, and lastly the connection type. We believe to have the information but when we select "Proceed" it brings us to a blank page where no progress is made. We're not sure if this is a problem with WordPress, or just our information. We would very much appreciate the help! Thank you!

  • @logant44 Glad the last 25 helped =)

  • I found this very informative. I wish I had seen it before my wife went through a similar process setting up her blog. You've inspired me to start my own though, so thanks for sharing this! I'd be interested in seeing similar instruction on uploading custom CSS/HTML or using a template as a base and illustrating ways to modify it.

  • @etheneblog thanks! The custom css and html one might be a while away.

  • How do you get a video of that size to upload to Youtube? Its 52 minutes

  • @Wordpresssites magic!! or youtube allows me to do it?? I just used their uploader. Maybe you have to be approved first? idk?!

  • I am subbed. Man, you are an awesome teacher, this tutorial is incredibly clear and thorough.

  • @MaghoxFr Thank you!! I appreciate the support!

  • @MaghoxFr thanks good guideness. but:

    a ) what if I want to built my own layout

    b ) how do I upload pic to the server in the editor ?

  • @mobyboy I think you should forward your question to Conutant as it was him who made this tutorial.

  • THANKS! this was the perfect intro to understanding how wordpress works on the backend.

  • @clairetravels Thanks!!

  • Thank you for this very easy and explanatory video its help me a lot

  • @61voyager I am glad it helped. Would love to see the website you made.

  • Why did you buy the domain name with godaddy and not gatorhost? Thanks for this video. You do a great job explaining each process.

  • @extrmmxer I like to separate when I buy the domain name from who I get hosting from so one business doesn't have all the power.  Plus I wanted to show people how to do it if they already bought their domain name.

  • This is exactly what i needed! thank you!

  • @Stendermac thanks!!

  • Hi there and thanks a lot for this tutorial :)

    I followed all the steps but unfortunately, my account is blocked for now and they sent me a mail to ask for a scanned copy of my ID, in order to prevent fraud.

    That is odd, I mean, send my personal information just like that?

    I don't feel very comfortable doing that :/

    What do you think?

  • @CapitaineGMC that sounds weird to me. I wouldn't do that. They have never asked me to do that. 

  • Thanks! This was very simply taught :)

  • @BeenaKhakhria thank you!!

  • awesome stuff bro!

  • @swissqb thank you! would love to see your website. 

  • Very nice tutorial! It was very helpful in explaining several of the functions of Wordpress. I "liked" and shared it with my friend who is also designing her own website.

  • fantastic Bro!!!

  • @khalid2ks thanks bro!! =)

  • Thank you so much Tyler.

    Hope you get a great career as a web consultant.

    I'd recommend your services anytime!

  • @Akuidox I hope you do. =) Thank you! Things are going well.

  • This is very basic how to design the custom theme that is specific to that business?

  • @ThePrimovacations I am sorry I don't understand your question, could you rephrase it?

  • Great Job! I will be sharing this.

  • @hbarker216 Cool website! Thanks Heather!

  • Is this right?

    Account setup, please respond to this ticket with a scanned copy of a Photo ID such as as a passport, or drivers license. In addition to a photo ID, please include a scanned copy of the credit card that was used in your account purchase (assuming you purchased a hosting account with a credit card). For security purposes you can mask off all the digits of the card number except for the last 4 digits.

  • @jrulysesBz No doesn't sound right to me.

  • That was Awsome!

  • @CTSCAPER thank you!!

  • Amazing! Thank you. I was about to spend a lot of money for something I knew I could learn how to do given the right teacher. You are it! THANK YOU!!!

    Just one question...my templates already has a 'home' page built in. I renamed it and edited it but when I publish, it creates another tab. So now I have the original tab "home" and a new tab "Principal | Home" both with the same content. I've seen a lot of people google how to get rid of the original "home" tab but no clear answers. Any ideas?

  • @SmartChange could be a few different things, I messaged you to get more details.

  • Wow man. Thank you so much for this. And thank you for all the effort you put into making this. You seem like such a safe guy lol. Nice work man

  • @d4oud7 Safe guy? I think that is a compliment! Thank you!! Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • @Conutant lol its a good thing, im from England so the sense of humour barrier lol. good work with this though. made me want to start up a website

  • @d4oud7 =) well hello from los angeles. Glad it helped. I would like to see your website when you are done.

  • Ellie from London here. Really impressed that you've given so much of your time to put this together. Just starting to get into Wordpress and this was an excellent overview.

  • @elliethousand Hello London!! You are welcome! I can't believe my video has been in 129 countries! Thanks for the support! Let me know if you have any questions.

  • @elliethousand Hello London!! You are welcome! I can't believe my video has been in 129 countries! Thanks for the support! Let me know if you have any questions.

  • One of the best hours I've spent on Youtube. Clueless to confident on websites / Wordpress in one go. Thanks.

  • @pno2ng Super glad it helped!  Thanks!

  • Nice video! I'm glad that people who help others exist!

    By the way, we are working on Wordpress tutorials ourselves. Would uou be interested in video answer? If so, we would be glad to five you one.

  • @divineIproject No thank you! But I am glad it helped!

  • I have watched this video for 2 days and created my site! You are awesome! Sad news-I can no longer access my site to make changes and finish playing with it. I kept going back to where it says wp-admin and also wp-login.php but nothing works. Any suggestions?

  • @MommaOcho Email me, I think I know what is wrong with it. But you have to access the database.

  • Wow! Just got done watching video. You were true to your word - no step was left out. What a great job you did. Thanks VERY much. I teach at a community college and this will be very helpful for my students. Again WOW - You did an amazing job. VERY appreciated.

  • @jayman6988 So cool! I would love to virtually be in your class room! Feel free to use it, copy it, distribute it etc.. Let me know if you need anything.

  • Fantastic.....I was a bit lost when I first downloaded wordpress, but this has made things much clearer. Thanks from the UK!

  • @yamin151 You're welcome from Los Angeles!

  • Very Informative! Never used Wordpress, I can usually figure things out, but could not until your video. I can navigate through it much better now!

  • @dvddks So happy! Thank you!

  • Great stuff. Can you now show how to clear out all the crap, and make a bare bones site for photographers that just want to show their images. Thank you.

  • @SoapyTitsWank The first thing I would do is go to a website like theme forest, woothemes or get a free theme from wordpress that is minimal. Then from there you would have to enter in the html/css/php and start deleting stuff. Email me if you want me to get more into it.

  • Wow,

    First, I'd like to say you're very brave for putting up your personal details on youtube with all the identity security issues. Great video and great tutorial.

    Your video has convinced me to finally getting off my butt to develop my website and your tutorial steps help make it painless

  • @JVADP I trust people =) let me know how the website goes.

  • Great video!! Thanks man!!

  • @geraner Thanks so much. I would love to see the website you have made.

  • @Conutant I'm still working on it. Looking for some themes now which I could use. Will not be a lot information on this page. But anyway, Wordpress looks for me much easier to work with than Joomla. Will send you a PM when I'm finished with my homepage.

  • Thank you!

  • Thank you so much!!!!!!!

  • @wfidan You are welcome! =)

  • thank you for the info, very very helpful.

  • @ChetaMeister Thanks!! 

  • The three dislikes are web developers scamming people thousands of dollars to build a $100 website. lol

  • @TRanceifyable Haha thank you! I was wondering about those people. I just told myself that they hit the button on accident. =)

  • @Conutant Did you get my message in inbox asking questions?

  • @TRanceifyable Oh yes! Sorry for the late response. It is a little complex to get rid of that you might want to hire a coder. But on the left side under appearance go to editor once you are in there on the right side click on footer and in that file you have to edit the code.

  • Ok thanks.

  • How do you add music to your home page when it start up

  • @sweetmargie2002 Most of the time that makes people leave the website because they could be at work or their baby could be sleeping. So I don't recommend it.

  • Best Vid EVER! Thank you for uploading this!

  • @JabberWinn You're welcome! Thank you!

  • They totally got you on "Offers from us related to your purchase" at 9:57! To be fair.. they deserve something after all that hard work trying to spam you :P

  • @jesperc20 Oh man!! I missed the click!! Good find! I wonder how many people shouted "you missed the button!" at the screen. Probably like 7,000.

  • Really Great video

    

  • @davidpierce7 Thank you!

  • Thank You so much. This video is really great for beginners. God Bless You

  • @MrHashim1987 Thanks!

  • Thank you. You have helped me understand Wordpress ! I currently use Moonfruit which is Flash based, but don't like not being able to read properly on ipad / iphone, so am looking to change. As a non techy person, this is not easy, but I am now more confident ! Thanks. Jim

  • @MT2Calling Great that you are moving from flash! and Thank you!

  • How do I make a page titled, Browse that goes to a list of genres, upon selecting a genre, goes to a list of bands. is wordpress capable of this? im trying to make a website with all different types of music and bands.

  • thank you very much you are a good teacher

  • @vanibal0077 I appreciate it! Thank you!

  • thank you so much for this. I have a better 'beginner' understanding. I am struggling with dandelion theme--funny that you should pick that one...

  • @happydragondesigns I always wanted to get that theme. It seems web design is always a struggle, even for me. But when you figure it out it is worth it and will help you in the future.

  • Thanks dude this video is so helpfull!!

  • @TheWorldEcho You're welcome!

  • Thank you so much for this. Bless you sir! 

  • @tinypaperboat you're welcome! Thanks =)

  • really well explained!!
