So I thinkthisis a reallyinterestingtopic, andespeciallyforme, since I amactually a programmerandusuallydraganddropliketoolslikeWordPressdon't reallyenduplookingthatgreat.
Whichiswhy I think a lotofprogrammerswouldadvocatebuildingthingsoutincodeandnotusing a dragondogliketool.
However, withbuildingwebsites, I thinkthisisjustnottrue.
AndevenifyoudoknowhowtocodeandwriteyourownhtmlCSSforwebsites, youreallygottobebetteroffjuststartingwith a premadeword.
Christine.
Thereasonforthisislike I saidbefore, therearesomanydifferentthingsoutthereforWordPresswebsitesthatyou'reprobablygonnabeabletofindtheexactthesignthatyou'relookingfororyou'regonnabeabletofindsomethingthat's fairlyclose.
Andifyoufindsomethingthat's fairlycloseandyoucanjustadd a coupleofyourownlinesofHTMLandseeingsays.
Andreally, thisisjust a questionofproductivity, in a sense, becauseevenifyouknowhowtowriteyourowncodeandhtmlCSStobuildyourownwebsite, it's probablygonnabewayfastertouseWordPress, andit's justgonnasaveyou a lotoftime.
So I'vehadthisideafor a while, amountthat I wantedtomake a bloggerformyself, where I composeddifferentarticlesthatcansortof a companysomeofthevideosthat I makeonthischannel.
Solet's saythat I make a onedaybuild, forinstance.
Then I couldmake a postonmyblockwhere I gothrough.
Allthedifferentresourceisthat I usedtocreatethisonedaybuildandaddsomelinkstodifferenttutorialsthat I usedandbasicallyjust a guidetohelpThiodothisone.
Theybuildyourselfsothatthenyougetboththevideoandthenalsosomewrittenmaterialtogowithitsothatitmakesit a littlebiteasierforyoutoreplicatewhat I'vedone.
Andsothat's whatwe'regonnadotoday.
We'regonnabuildmylongessentially, and I'm justgonnashowyouveryquicklyhoweasily I cansetupmywebsiteusingWordPress.
It's notreally a tutorial.
It's justkindoftoshowyouhowsimpleitactuallyis.
Andbefore I started, justwannamentionTodaysponsor, whichishosting a dotcom.
Andwhattheydoistheyprovidehostingforyourwebsite, andifyoudon't knowwhatthatmeans, thatessentiallymeansthattheyhave a serverandyoucanrent a spotontheirserverforthemtohostyourwebsite.
It's supersimple, butit's still I feellikewhen I when I goto a siteand I wanttoreadanarticleorsomething, I'vewantedtobeextremelysimple.
I don't want a lotofclutter.
I don't wanttoomanyimages.
I justwanttheinformationthat I'm lookingforreallylike, easilyavailable.
Somyideaisessentially, I'm gonnapostdifferentarticlesonheremaybeonce a week.
I'm notgonnacommittodoingitexactlyonce a week, buthopefullyit's gonnabeaboutonce a week.
I'm gonnapick a daywhere I wouldpostandsometimes I mightskip a week.
I'm notgonnabesuperstrictaboutthis, butit's oneofthosethingswhere I feellikeitcouldbenicetohave a companyonaccompanyingarticlewithsomeofthevideosthat I do.
Soif I do a tutorialorif I do a onedaybuild I couldalsoaddanarticlewhere I'vewrittendownthedifferentsitesthathavegonetoandthedifferenttutorialsthathelpedmebuildwhat I built.
Andmaybethatcanthenbe a referenceforyouguystoactuallycheckoutonHave a lookatandah, basically, thiswassupersimpleusinghostingAh, todothis, youjustbasicallygetanaccountonhere.
Onceyouhaveyourdomainandthenyoubuy a domainthatonceyouhavethat, youjustclick, manageandthenyougetallthesechoicesandwhatyouneedtodoisyouneedtogoto a website.
Youneedtopressautoinstallerandthenyoujustneedtoinstallwordpresshere, which I alreadydid.
Andit's justsavesyousomuchtimecomparedtoactuallyhavingtocodeallthatstuffout, evenifyou'rereallyfast, thatcoatingthisstuffout, I stillthinkthatyou'reseeingWordPressis a reallygoodidea, andthere's tonsofhugecompaniesthatuseWordPress.
I thinkNewYorkTimesuseWordPress, and I mean, there's a tonofreally, reallybigcompaniesthatuseWordPressfortheirsights.
Andespeciallyifyouwanttomake a bloggerorsomethinglikethat, thendefinitelygowithWordPressandgettingthissetupwithhostingitwasjustsupersimple.
Soagain, ifyouwanttocheckthisout, youcangotohosting a dotcomslashcalandthenusedtocubecouponcodecalwithcapitalletters, andyou'llget 15% offallthehostingyourplans.
Ifyouwantedtostartthat, themainpointthat I wantedtogetacross, it's justthatyoudon't havetoworryaboutknowinghowtocodeinordertomake a reallygoodwebsite.
Andevenifyoudoknowhowtocode, you'reprobablygoingtobebetteroffusingWordPressanyway, becauseit's justgonnasavesomuchtimeandyoucouldspendthattimecodingmoreimportantthings, So I wouldjustsuggestspendyourtimewhereyougetthemostbangoutofyourbook.
Allright, That's itforthisone.
I hopeyouenjoyedit.
And I hope I'llseeyouinthenextone.
allright.
