Secrets of WordPress Revealed!
Have you ever tried to build a WordPress blog but have been scared off by all the tech-speak and gobbledegook?
If so, you are not alone. WordPress is wonderful, but it isn’t easy. Which is why I decided to write create this WordPress tutorial.
WordPress2Go tutorial will teach you how to build your own WordPress blog even if you are a complete beginner. I take you by the hand and lead you step by step through the process of creating your own, unique, fully-functioning blog. Along the way I’ll explain what you need to know and what you can ignore and I’ll tell it all in simple, non-geek English.
WordPress is, without doubt, the premier blogging platform in the world. It is powerful, flexible and robust. WordPress blogs have penetrated all corners of the Internet and are now being used by some of the most influential figures in the blogosphere.
But, and this is a big BUT, barriers to entry by non-techies are high. If you want to create your own WordPress blog, you will soon find your way littered with jargon and acronyms and incomprehensible references. Building a WordPress blog when you are a relative newbie ain’t no picnic.
But here’s the secret. It isn’t nearly as difficult as it seems! When you have someone to guide you and explain, step by step, just what you need to do, building a WordPress blog becomes a breeze. And it gets to be fun. And, whatever you want a WordPress blog for, you’ll soon find yourself blogging away like a pro.

Hi Sarah
I’ve been reading through your tutorial and it looks good. It mentions that you’ve got a WordPress2Go video tutorial - where can I get my hands on this????
Edward
Hi Edward,
The video tutorial is in the course of preparation: estimated launch date is 2nd - 3rd week of April. This will cover the setting up of a blog on your own domain. I’ll be emailing everyone as soon as it’s ready. You’ll be one of the first to know!

Was about to read you page here I found that the edge of the page was missing. That was in the IE browser. I fired up the firefox and everything looks good. I read your tutorial a couple different times. You did a real good job on it. I was trying to follow along with it and found that I lost some of the pages that I put on. Found later that wordpress what updating the site with a new dashboard. Finally got it working more like you say in the tutorial. Thanks a bunch for the help that you are giving us newbies. Chuck.
Hello Sarah. Reset my screen back to 800×600 and found that I was missing the left part on the message that I just put on. This was in the firefox browser. Well anyway you have a nice looking site and the tutorial was real helpful. Chuck
To everyone who has downloaded my free WordPress tutorial:
WordPress.com have just updated their dashboard to reflect the new WordPress 2.5 interface. This means that the screenshots in the tutorial now don’t match the actual screens. I’m working on a new version of the tutorial ebook and this will be available for all to download again within a few days.
Sorry for the hassle!

Hi Sarah
Just downloaded your tutorial and fortunately spotted your latest message about the 2.5 dashboard update.
You see,after suffering a stroke and losing part of my sight, I find it very difficult to read from the screen and so print out everything I download.
Many thanks for your timely info, look forward to more and a mention for you on both my website and blog which I am in the course of constructing.
best wishes
Alex Trust there aren’t too many typos.
Thanks Alex, I appreciate your post. I will email all my downloaders as soon as the new version is ready. Now back to work
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Thanks!

Hi Sarah,
First, thanks so much for all you’ve done to help the novices like myself. I’m part of a group launching a fan site next month and hoping to implement WordPress as the format for our discussion area. Dying to pick your brain and get some help in determining specifics.
Hi Sarah
thanks for the free download WP E-Book well written and easy to understand. Do you have any videos on WP especially on how to create a link to an affiliate web page that doesn’t look like an affiliate link
Thanks brad
Hi Brad,
The easiest way to create a link to an affiliate webpage that doesn’t look like an affiliate link is to put it as a text link embedded in natural text, or you could hide the link behind a clickable graphic.
I’ll be covering the topic of affiliate linking in my upcoming video series which is in the course of preparation.
Watch this space!

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for sharing your Wordpress tutorial. I haven’t downloaded it yet but, I’ll check it out if I have time. I’m sure this really helps a lot.
Hi Sarah,
Read the tutorial…real easy to follow…great work! I’m trying to find your video on how to set-up a self hosted blog. Could you please send me the link? If I already created a blog under wp.com do i need to create a new blog under wp.org? Thx. J.
Julie - I haven’t released the WordPress video tutorial yet as I’m still working on it - when I have finished it I’ll let everyone know.
If you have a wordpress.com blog you can import it into a self-hosted blog. The video includes information on how to do this.
Thanks for your interest!
Sarah
