A WordPress tutorial is a great way to learn WordPress. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced user you can easily watch a WordPress video tutorial and find out virtually any thing you want to know about either installing or enhancing and customizing your WordPress website.
WordPress tutorials are designed to give you a step-by-step, look-over-the-shoulder view of exactly how a particular procedure in WordPress is performed. For instance, in a tutorial on how to install WordPress you will be shown where to download WordPress as well as how to create a MySQL database for your WordPress. You will also be shown how to upload the WordPress files to your hosting server as well as how to connect the MySQL database to your WordPress website.
Want to change the look and feel of your WordPress website? No problem! This is easily done because WordPress has tens of thousands of free themes available to change the look and feel of your site. In addition to the free themes there are thousands of stunning premium themes available as well. And if that’s not enough you can customize any of those themes to meet your individual needs. In fact, some of the most requested tutorials are on the topic of how to customize WordPress themes and how to customize WordPress in general.
One of the most wonderful features of WordPress is that the content and design elements are stored separately from one another. What this means is that you have an opportunity to learn how to install a theme, install the theme, and not change anything about your content. Conversely, if you wish to change the content of your site, no worries, as editing the content, adding or subtracting, etc. won’t affect the main theme that you have installed. The flexibility of WordPress means that as your site grows you have the option of modifying your site to reflect that growth
There are also tons of tutorials on the installation and use of plug-ins. To date, there are over 20,000 free plug-ins available for WordPress. That number doesn’t even include those thousands and thousands of plug-ins that are paid premium plug-ins.
Plug-ins allow you to expand the capabilities of WordPress beyond that of the WordPress core. By learning to use plug-ins properly you learn how to take your website to the next level. This could include anything from enhancing your SEO, to creating a beautiful gallery of your photos, to displaying relevant YouTube videos or even videos of your own.
WordPress is useful for anyone that wants to get their content online from the casual hobbyist to the most serious of businesses. As we discussed plug-ins are also those that enhance WordPress this capability by including not only product pictures, but a shopping cart for e-commerce as well.
