Overview
Having your own blog isn’t just for the nerdy anymore. Today,
it seems everyone—from multinational corporations to a neighbor up
the street—has a blog. They all have one, in part, because the
folks at WordPress make it easy to have one. But to actually build
a good blog—to create a blog people want to read—takes thought,
planning, and some effort. From picking a theme and using tags to
choosing widgets and building a community, creating your blog
really starts after you’ve set it up.
In the video for
Building a WordPress Blog People Want to Read,
you'll learn how to install and set up WordPress, pick a theme and
create custom menus, control your site with Dashboard and extend
its functionality with plugins, be the master of users and
profiles, manage pages and create posts, and deal with
comments.
