Installing Wordpress is often the biggest challenge a new user faces. But using the “One Click Install” method makes installing Wordpress easy. (Even for you.)
This is the first video in a new series of videos I will be producing for Art Palaver. I kept this one very simple because I had to learn the software for creating this type of video. Look for more involved videos down the road. I plan to cover many internet tools that artists can use to better promote themselves and sell more art. Feel free to leave a comment about what tutorials you’d like to see.
Wordpress is a great tool for any artist looking to have their own website. Often thought of as “just a blog” WP has really evolved to a complete content management system. These days when you are surfing the web you probably come across many sites that are built with WP but look nothing like a blog. Don’t get hung up on the fact that it started as a blog platform.
I’ve talked to a lot of artists that agree and want to get started with WP but get stuck on the install. They visit Wordpress.org and download the software but then don’t know what to do with it. Understandable, but there is a better way and that way is called “One Click Install.”
First thing you’ll need for this is a web host that offers one click install. (I recommend Site5 <— affiliate link*) Then all you have to do is watch this tutorial and you’ll have your very own website in no time.
Now that you have your new WP site be sure to stay tuned to Art Palaver for more video tutorials on how to secure, customize, and keep your site updated.
*that means I make a little money if you click the link and then buy from Site5)
