Wordpress Step By Step Blueprint In The Works …

Yes,there are many MANY resources and information products that cover Wordpress in some way or another, however piecing together the most essential things can be a huge pain in the ass! With that said, i’ve decided to put my experiences/knowledge on paper so to speak and share it you, the readers.

Although it’s not set in stone – at this stage the guide is focusing more on the following areas:

  1. Installing your blog in 5minutes or less
  2. Blog themes – what you should be looking for
  3. Plugins that i use and what they are used for
  4. Uploading your theme, activating and configuring theme options
  5. Plugin activation and configuration
  6. The WP Settings that i personally use
  7. Other configuration suggestions
  8. Final notes

At this stage I’ve created most of the rough draft and so far it’s weighing in at a nice hefty 27 pages!, but i do hope to cut this down dramatically and focus this guide towards more of a step by step blueprint with the least focus on filler content and fluff!.

The main goal after all is to give you a step by step guide that you’ll be able to use to setup and configure your blog like i would in less than 30 minutes.

I am really looking forward to completing this!

If you have any things you would like to see present in this guide, please leave a comment and i will consider.

Hi Colin,

Can’t get your email forms to submit. Tried to add my blog address then use your ‘Contact’ link.

I have come to the party a bit late so am playing catch up.

Anyway keep up the good work

Brian,

I have received the form submission just fine to my email. I am not quite sure what is happening on your end, but it worked over here.

Should show a success message at the top of the form when you’ve submitted it. It did during my tests anyways.

Cheers,
Colin
