Websites Made Easy - Domain & Hosting Setup and WordPress Installation Public Class

Thanks for your tip, Anneliese. I'm always happy when anyone converts to WordPress. Enjoy your blogging!

@ Priscilla and Tanja: I watched the recording and it inspired me to get Word Press as I use a third party blog and a third party forum. I have Networksolutions and they did not support php unless I got their Linux package. I went ahead and did this for $253.00. In doing so, I can now use mt OWN forum and my OWN blog, in this case word press. However, I did not want word press to take over my entire site but just to be used as a separate blog. This being said, I was having a difficult time finding how to edit the HOME page on word press. For those of your students whom may be interested, these are the steps.

1). Create a new page and name it "home".
(When you go to the home page of your blog, you will now see 2 home pages. This of course you do not want).

2). Go to Administation - Settings - Reading settings.
(It is here that you set your "Front Page" or Static page to the Home page that you created.)

By doing this, you erase your word press default home page and now your Home page that you created is your home page.

Anyone who has Networksolutions. This hosting package does not support php language unless you have the Linux package. If you have the standard windows package, which is what I had, then you will have to switch over.

One big plus about networksolutions is that they do have a 5 step automatic install for all of their forums and for word press. There even have a plug in that you can install so that if you were using blogger as a blog, they will automatically import blogger into word press and I thought this was a really great feature.

Anyway, thank you so much for your knowledge!

Thank you Tanja for another Excellent class. Until my next POST, this is Priscilla with S.E.E. Speak Excellent English
