learn wordpress now – how to blog!

Archive for the ‘Learn Wordpress’ Category

Anyone who’s been around on the Internet for more than a few weeks knows that things can change very fast. Yesterday’s state-of-the-art can quickly become todays old-hat.

This is what’s happening with web design. If you want to learn how to build your own website it’s no longer just a question of ‘HTML For Dummies’. The technology for building and display web sites is getting more and more complex by the day.

Beginners who start out by trying to teach themselves web design find that they have to master several complex coding languages: not only HTML but also CSS, Javascript and PHP to name but a few. And if they do manage to pull it all together and throw up a webpage they risk it looking seriously amateurish.  It’s a tough world for budding web designers these days!

So, what can you do if you want to create your own website? Why, use WordPress of course!

Seriously – as web design has become progressively more complex, so WordPress has become correspondingly more sophisticated and powerful and easier and easier to use.

WordPress lets you create your own web presence without needing to know any coding languages. All the background work has been done for you by some of the smartest programmers in the world, and best of all, it’s free! Every new version that is released contains ever more enhancements and the number of useful plugins (which enhance the functionality even more) grows daily.

I’ve done a couple of tutorials to show you how to get started. Look over to the top right of this page to see what’s there for you to download.

WordPress 2.8.5 is the latest stable release of this wonderful blogging platform.

With each new release WordPress gets smoother, slicker and more functional!

The three biggest improvements to have happened in recent releases include:

• quick and easy widget setup
• automatic installation of themes
• improvements in media handling

A lot of the niggly little clinks have been smoothed away and the whole things works just much better.

If you’ve been looking to start a blog, look no further than WordPress.

You want to have a web presence and you have some good ideas about what you want to display, but you don’t know anything about how to build a website. And, frankly, you don’t want to know. But neither do you want to employ one of those expensive/unreliable/geeky webmasters.

So, why not do it yourself and start a WordPress blog?

This is not nearly as difficult as it seems. WordPress is easy to master once you know how. A WordPress blog can look and feel just like a conventional website if you want it to. But it can also become a unique and distinctive Internet identity just for you, designed by you, exactly how you want it to be.
