How to install WordPress.org, set it up and finally get started?
You’ll find answers to these questions right here where I’ll link you to the most useful video tutorials I know of.
We, bloggers have all been there. Most of us aren’t tech savvy, at all. If you thought otherwise, you were wrong my friend. Welcome to the club!
I can honestly and bravely say that there are three types of bloggers in this blogging community:
- Those techie kind of bloggers who can do it.
- There are non-techies who can’t do it and hire someone to do it for them. They don’t bother.
- And there are those like me, who can’t do it but keep digging until they know how to do it. Yup. Totally me.
Oh, and there’s this fourth group (you can call them majority) -> Those who can’t do it and quit after a short time.
Don’t be one of them.
If I’m being totally honest, being in the second group would be the best and would save you a lot of time and nerves. If you have extra money to hire a web designer you could use that extra time for creating more quality content and stuff.
But… But! …
… if you want to learn more about blogging than just writing itself, and if you like to keep things under your control, then I guess you’re in my group.
Well hello there, fella!

In case you haven’t even installed WordPress.org yet although I assume you already have it installed. So here is a short video guide for you:
So what to do AFTER installation?
After you’ve done with that, follow instructions from the video below:
You have probably noticed that both videos came from WPCrafter YouTube Channel.
It’s not a coincidence nor is it a collaboration.
I don’t work with them and this is not a sponsored post of any kind.
It’s simply sharing valuable tutorials/lessons as I learned most from this channel when I started blogging last year.
I really like their videos, and want them to reach more bloggers.
There are many other websites and YouTube channels I am following and I’m planning to share their information as well but only when relevant of course. As a matter of fact, I’ll do that now.
Gravatar
In the upper video, Adam mentions a Gravatar image. You’ll need one of those if you don’t have it yet.
As a way of helping you find useful information faster, I’ve found a great video tutorial from one of our fellow bloggers, Elna from Twins Mommy, on how to create your Gravatar:
That’s it for today, you guys. Hope you can finally set up all the necessary on your WordPress account so you can start blogging ready and clean.
