Today, I'll take you (rather swiftly) through how to setup your first Wordpress blog, in less than 4 minutes. I'll also show you how to change the Wordpress theme, and publish your first blog post, with a picture included.

I use bluehost.com for my web-hosting and domain services, however there are many others out there with the same capabilities that you may use if you choose to do so.

Here is a shortcut to the affiliate link mentioned in the video:

  • CAN I JUST GO ON WORD PRESS AND SET UP INSTEAD OF BLUE HOST?

  • Yes, but then you'd be on a free hosted wordpress site, not a self hosted one. With a self hosted one, you can advertise on the site and have a LOT more options for themes and plugins and customization (and permalinks too). With going through wordpress (com not org), although it's free, you definitely limit yourself bigtime.

  • So bluehost cost $7 a month. Are there additional charges? Does it cost anything for the word-press...or is the total cost for the creation of that blog $7 a month?

  • Bluehost is $7/month (and actually if you buy two years worth it's only $6 a month), and you don't NEED anything else. There are upgrades for security and protection, but you don't need those things. The only other thing I can justify paying for is the extra $4.95 (i think, not monthly though) for domain privacy so your name and address doesn't show when someone looks up the owner of the website. Hope this helps!

  • Never mind....you're already on it!!

  • Pat, I highly recommend 1password to enter registration and credit card info. Saves you tons of time!!

  • Be nice to see you go into optimizing blog layouts. Hardest thing about wordpress is, most of the themes aren't that customizable, or if they are, you can only control a very narrow amount of variables.

    Or...premium themes tend to offer more? Do you think AdSense is the best thing to get passive income without a personal product like a physical item or e-book?

  • what is the best with or without the "w w w" ?

  • thats a nice video i ever like to show it it all time good
