Description

Create your own blog from scratch even if you are not technical or are afraid of math.

What You'll Learn?

Develop the confidence you can be a blogger, as long as you have something to say
Create a blog online (using WordPress)
Create new posts for your brand spanking new blog
Add photos and videos to your blog
Manage Comments on your blog, because hey this will be huge, right?
Add new WordPress plugins to your blog to extend what it can do
Change the look of your blog (with different WordPress themes)

Who is this for?

This course is intended for people who don't have a blog or who have one on some other software and want to move to the world's most popular blogging platform, WordPress

This is not a get rich quick course. Blogging has been very very good to me, but it takes sustained effort

If you can use a word processor like Microsoft Word then you are smart enough to learn WordPress

What You Need to Know?

You should be able to know how to turn on your computer, get to a website (and hey you are here on Udemy!), and follow simple instructions

Description
In this course you will learn how to setup your own blog from an award winning blogger Chris Christensen. We will use WordPress which is the most popular blogging software. You don't need to be a programmer, be technical or be good with math. You do need to be able to follow a set of instructions and you need to be able to get to the web... looks like you have that working.
Set aside and afternoon, and follow along while you actually setup your website. Whether you use a blog to change your life and get invited to the White House (I did) or just use it to collect your thoughts, you can start today.
