How To Get Started

The first step is not buying a WordPress site and playing around with it. Unless your only goal is to play around with WordPress, do a little preparation so you can have a site up and working for you quickly.

Words

Start by writing words. You have to have words for each page.

Whether you are starting a blog or a site for your business, you begin by writing words.

This page has step-by-step instructions that will make writing the words for a new business website easy.

The same principles apply to a blog. Some people already have a lot of writing that can be used to create an instant blog. But you still need to plan a little. Organize your writing.

Photos

You need some photos or graphics. This page has helpful tips on photos.

WordPress

Once you have a WordPress site installed, don’t start clicking around and changing things right away. WordPress has a tutorial that is really only easy to use if you haven’t already started changing things.

If you take a little time and do the tutorial FIRST, it will make everything else easier from now on. It doesn’t take long and you will learn a lot.
