WordPress in an Hour

December 26, 2014 by Cathy Stucker 1 Comment

In this video, I show you the basics of getting a WordPress site installed and customized. We start with a one-click WP installation, then go through the menu items on the dashboard so you know what you need to do first and what options are available for your site, now and in the future.

Some of the things you will learn include where and how to set up your site, changing the theme, what plugins and widgets are (and which ones you should install) and more.

Don’t be afraid of WordPress! You need to have an online presence, and WP is one of the easiest ways to do that.
