Setup, Build, Manage and Dominate with Wordpress Sites

About two years ago I made a decision to work with Wordpress.  At that time, my largest site had around 500 pages that I had typed.  The site was so big that I didn’t use Wordpress.  Now, when I start a website, the first thing that I do is setup Wordpress.

The process starts with going into the hosting account’s admin panel and setting up a MySQL Database and user.  I am making a video of this process later today and you can use it to setup your own site.

Anway, once that is done, the files for Wordpress are uploaded via FTP (file transfer protocol) to the hosting account.  Then you need to just type the name of the URL of the website and add a folder name if you put Wordpress in a folder.  If Wordpress is running the entire site, I recommend it in the root of the folder.

When the URL is entered to the browser, you’ll see the installation screen that asks for the database details, name of the site and email.  That’s it.  The installation actually takes about 2 minutes and just like that you’ll have a website that can manage millions of visitors, inform the search engines what you are writing about and broadcast your daily posts to the RSS (real simple syndication) feeds.

Wordpress is the foundation for the content management system.  Built on that are thousands of “applications” (pluggins) built by programmers, students and hobbyist that do everything from publishing content various ways to displaying video.  Wordpress does it all!

I’ll now spend a few minutes putting a video tutorial about Wordpress and in the coming days I’ll have several lessons here on what you can do to expand your business website or your personal site and get your message, corporate information out to the world.

What are the BEST MEDIA ACTIONS you can do with Wordpress?

• As I said, the broadcasts of RSS feeds are automated with a pluggin.
• Search engine optimisation is ‘boring’ but again, it’s automated now.
• Need to show YouTube videos? That can be done.
• Like to have comments? User feedback?  Wordpress allows it.

These are just a few of what it can do. There is NO WAY that I can list even 10% of what Wordpress can do.  Just go here and find out for yourself from Wordpress.ORG.
