sophisticated yet still simple-to-use full-fledged content management system with full blogging support, multimedia support, syndication, and so much more. WordPress truly makes it possible to do it on your own-- one of the best ways to think of it is as a supercharged word processor for publishing web content. So, let's get started-- and thank you for choosing this book to help you get your new website online with WordPress, in an Hour or Less .
Chapter 1 – Your WordPress Site Online in An Hour or Less
This is THE book you’ll need if you want to get up and running quickly with WordPress, on your own privately-hosted website, and at a cost of just a few dollars a month. Follow the steps in this first chapter, and you’ll be up and running with your own privately-hosted WordPress web site! Best of all, you don’t need prior computer experience, programming knowledge, or web design skills. This book will show you-
How to register a domain and quickly set up web hosting using GoDaddy, the world’s leading provider of domain name and web hosting services
How you can install WordPress with just a few simple steps
How you can add posts and pages with content that gets attention
How you can use the incredible power of themes to give your site a distinctive look
How you can use widgets and plugins to vastly expand the functionality of your site
How you can easily add images, audio, and video to your site
In case you are the type of person that never reads introductions, this book has been published as two versions: this “slimmed down” version that retails for under a dollar at Amazon and gives you everything that you need to know to get up and running with the basic features of WordPress, and an “expanded” version with added coverage of more advanced topics that teach you how to take your WordPress-powered site even further. In the more detailed version of this book, you will find more extensive treatment of popular themes and popular plug-ins, as well as coverage of the installation and use of the popular NextGEN Gallery plug-in that performs phenomenally at displaying complex photo galleries complete with slideshows and custom effects. And you will find some points that lie in the admittedly “techie” area, such as how to perform a manual installation of WordPress (just the thing for those who are taking advantage of free web hosting through their college campus accounts), as well as how to manually install commercially-purchased themes. If you think that you will benefit from the details in the expanded version, I encourage you to shell out the princely sum of $2.99 (at the time of this writing) for a copy of the expanded version, WordPress from Start to Finish .
If you’ve wanted to build your own website but felt it was beyond your capabilities, think again! And if you want a website but you’ve been put off by the technobabble that is all too common in computer books, you’ve arrived at the right place. In an hour or less this book steps you through setting up a hosting account and your own private domain, and installing WordPress. You’ll find detailed step-by-step directions for setting up WordPress with GoDaddy, the world’s leading name in domain registrations, and you’ll find recommendations for many major web hosting companies that also offer automated installations of WordPress.
Why you need a WordPress-driven web site
Whether you're thinking of a site for a small business, for a personal blog , to sell products via e-commerce, or just because you want to showcase your prized assortment of vacation photos, a domain name brings you credibility. This is especially important if you are trying to promote a business of any sort, and it is the major reason that you need your own domain, and not some domain name provided by a free service.
