Getting Started With Your Website

Getting Started With Your Website

Let’s talk more about setting up a Wordpress site. Depending on the host provider you choose, you will have to install the Wordpress software. 

1. Login in to your Host Account. For bluehost (http://www.bluehost.com/track/ntelagnc), scroll down to SimpleScripts Installations. You will see the WordPress Icon, click it and follow the instructions. For Godaddy (http://x.co/ntelagnc), you will find the Icon under options and settings, again click and follow the directions. In both of these scenarios you should be in the control panel of your host provider.
2. If you have more than one domain name, you will need to select the domain name you would like to use.
3. When you are finish entering all the information, you should get a confirmation screen, confirm, and wait for your email.
4. Got your email, time to log in to the Wordpress dashboard for the first time.
5. Open your browser and go to the domain name where you installed Wordpress.
6. Looks a little plain, do not worry, this is where you will fix that. Take a look around, this is your work space. After you log in, you will find there are many themes to pick from.
7. Ready to log in to the Dashboard and Administration Panel, you should see a link labeled, Site Admin. Clicking that link will take you to the Administration login page.
8. Log in to your site using ther username and password you selected during the installation process.
9. Welcome to the Dashboard, this where the fun begins, where your site will come to life.
10. Look around, touch some stuff, like a kid in a candy store, just don’t lick yet.

What do you think? That was easy, I know, you are welcome, but wait there is more. Here is the link again to the Wordpress guide (http://products.secureserver.net/guides/wordpressgsg.pdf) you would benefit greatly, if you read pages ten to seventeen, this will get you started. 

There is so much you can do with this software, and you can access it on just about any computer, it is very versatile. I like it because you do not need to fiddle with other software, and you can design a really dynamic site.
