Wordpress Quickstart Screencast Tutorial (1)
August 20, 2006
In this tutorial I cover the following:
Installing a free FTP program and connecting to your website
Creating a database for Wordpress.
Installing Wordpress.
Configuring Wordpress settings.
Setting up permalinks.
Writing and editing a post.
Uploading images.
Creating a blog roll (list of links).
Setting up an about page.
Installing a plugin.
Setting up a contact page with a contact form.
The resulting site after Tutorial 1 is found at CelebCynic.
This only covers half the items I wanted to cover in the first screencast but it’s getting rather large already (~70MB) and long (30 minutes). The other items will be covered in part 2 of the tutorial.
