How to Get Free WordPress Training to Build Blogs and Websites

June 9th, 2010 No comments

If you want to build blogs or websites then you must seriously consider using WordPress to do this, but don’t forget to get some free WordPress training before you start.

There are many free tutorials and in some case whole websites that provide free training in WordPress including the latest version 2.7

Wordpress is just so easy to setup, use and maintain that you would be crazy not to use and of course this software is also Free!

To be honest there really is no reason to pay for your WordPress training as there is just so much available on the Internet – just go into Google and search for ‘Free WordPress Training’ and you will see what I mean.

As well as a great deal of text-only tutorials there are many other training resources available for WordPress, including step-by-step guides with images to clearly define what you need to do, many videos on how to configure the software and write content for your posts and pages and recommendations on the best plugins and free themes to use for your own websites or blogs.

Wordpress is free open source software, originally developed as a blog platform, but now after much development and recent enhancements it has become the ultimate website builder and content management system combined.

There really is nothing to beat it and thousands of bloggers and website builders have already created a huge number of sites using this great software. And of course most of them will have had some training of some sort before they started.

Like all software though you will do a lot better and progress a lot quicker if your train yourself first and I must say that the learning curve really is not that steep and even for the novice or non-technical person getting to grips with this software is a quick, easy and fairly painless process.

Even if you have never used online software before you will be able to use this website builder – it really is no harder than using Microsoft Word or Excel.

Always pick the right training for what you want to achieve with your site. There is so much free WordPress training available that it may be difficult to know where to start.

Initially I would recommend that you go to WordPress.com and setup up a free blog. This will let you play with the software for free while you follow whichever training course you select. This no cost solution is an easy and quick way to get up to speed and test out what the training tells you to do.

The easiest parts to learn will be how to write your content and how to set out the layout of your new site. This will mainly include writing posts and selecting a theme that you like from the many that will be made available to you. Once you have written a few posts you will soon get the hang of it and before long you will become a proficient blogger.

The more difficult stuff comes when you want to have your own WordPress website using your own domain name at your web host. This will require installing the software at your web hosting company and creating a self-hosted WordPress site. You will then also have to decide which plugins to use and how to make the correct settings for you site.

Once again if you get the right free training before you reach this stage you will be all set for an easy and fast track path to creating your own website or blog with WordPress. Then before you know it you will become a website builder, webmaster and blogger all rolled into one!

For the ultimate in Free WordPress Training just visit the http://freewptraining.com website and if you want to create your own website then checkout the How To Install WordPress post for full details on installing self-hosted WordPress at your web host.

The Idiots Guide to Configuring WordPress

June 7th, 2010 No comments

WordPress is simply the best blogging platform on the planet! Being open source software, developers around the world have produced hundreds of plugins to enhance its basic functionality, as a result blogging has never been easier, and the search engines love it!

Blogging with WordPress offers two huge advantages:

1. It’s FREE to download and use
2. The Search Engines, in particular Google, love WordPress blogs

WordPress is open source software, which means it’s free to use. When you choose a hosting account, try and choose one that uses a control panel called “CPanel”, because installing WordPress becomes as easy as clicking a handful of icons, it really is simple!

So you’ve bought a domain name, found a hosting company with CPanel and installed WordPress on your new domain! In theory you’re ready to make your first post! But before you do, read on!

Before you post, you need to configure your blog and optimise it for the search engines, doing this before you post makes life a lot easier for the future.

As WordPress is open source, developers around the world have written literally hundreds of plugins that enhance the functionality of your blog, and again the majority are free to install. Take a look at WordPress.org where you’ll find hundreds of free plugins. Ones I recommend are:

- Installer (install this one first, simplifies plugin installations)
- All In One SEO Pack (optimises your posts)
- Adsense Manager (adds Adsense blocks to your posts)
- Google XML Site Maps (creates a site map for your blog)
- Ultimate Tag Warrior (essential plugin for managing tags)
- Sociable (assists with social bookmarking)

Next, within your dashboard, select Options in the menu and then Permalinks. You need to change the settings on this page in order to optimise your post’s url for the search engines, this change will ensure your keywords appear in the url. In the Custom Options box, insert the following text:

/%category%/%postname%/

Typing this will optimise your posts, but you must be careful only to ever select one category per post in the future, and not change a post’s category after you’ve published it!

When you post with WordPress, it automatically notifies (known as pinging) blog directories of your new content, they index it based on the tags you assign. The search engine robots regularly visit these directories, and as a result your new post will be indexed by them very quickly. Rapid indexing is one of the huge advantages of blogging!

In your blogs configuration, you should add as many directory sites as possible to ping, in addition to the default url. Simply search on the web for “ping list”.

Finally, you need to optimise the appearance of your site. You don’t want to use the basic template that comes with WordPress. If you do a search online for WordPress themes, you’ll find hundreds to download for free.org again in their themes directory. Whilst there are hundreds of free themes around, I never seem to find one that perfectly meets my needs, so I often end up buying one!

Once you’ve installed the theme of your choice, activated all of your plugins, and made the configuration adjustments I’ve recommended, you’re ready to post, so what are you waiting for!

Get a copy of my personal “ping” list at http://www.essentialseotools.com/seoblog , where you’ll also find lots more information and tips on blogging with WordPress. For some great looking themes visit Instant WordPress Themes.
