Wordpress Installation Help

Wordpress installation help is needed if you are having difficulty in installing Worpress onto your website. This installation is not difficult if you have help: help such as a Wordpress video tutorial course that explains how to download Wordpress and then configure it for your website.

However, before discussing that, why should you download Wordpress to your website and why should you want to use it as your blog software of choice? It's not really difficult to figure out if you check Google for 'Wordpress plugins' or 'Wordpress templates'. Wordpress is by far the most popular blogging software for those that want to use their blogs seriously.

Blogger is fine as it is, but is most useful to kids and others that simply want to have a blog. However, for professional use, and for selling and promoting your business, Blogger cannot compete with Wordpress. The latter is without peer, unless you are adept with Drupal and can use that to build your own. However, very few are, and for them Wordpress is their best option.

So, that question answered, back to Wordpress installation help. You first have to go to Wordpress.org from where you can download the software (at the time of writing version Wordpress 2.7.1). That might date me by the time you read this! However, I don't care - I just want to make sure you get the best you can get.

Installing Wordpress is easy - just click the button and the instructions are easy to follow. It is what you do after that which is what you might need some help with. You have to install the software onto your site, and then set up a database configured with the correct passwords, and the files with the correct permissions.

Many people get confused at this stage, and that is where you could do with Wordpreess installion help - in other words, a good Wordpress tutorial. I can offer you a Wordpress video tutorial for $17 here:

Not only will you be shown how to download and set up the bog, but also how to ad templates to change its look, add plugins to improve its interactivity and how to edit your postings and deal with comments from readers.

In other words, how to handle anything that will crop up when you are managing your Wordpress blog. However the Blogger or Wordpress debate keeps raising its head.

That is largely because many of the principles also apply to Blogger blogs, although you don't have any control over the formatting and you will have no plugins. Best to switch to Wordpress I reckon, and then you can make best use of your bog and all that it can do for you. You can even use Wordpress to run a home business for you, though you are best to your blog in association with a regular website for that.

For each of my businesses, I use a regular website, a Wordpress blog, a Squidoo lens and also use Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to advertise my website and blog. I find that combination to be very successful, but then I also use social bookmarking sites such as Technorati, Furl, Blinklist and del.icio.us to promote my blog and web pages, and as many Craigslist listings as I can manage to maintain.

So, with some Wordpress installation help it is not difficult: what is hard is to get it working properly, and the top maintain. Make sure you get a good Wordpress video tutorial by CLICKING HERE .
