Free WordPress Tutorial by WordPress-Tutor.com
Why WordPress?
WordPress is the best blogging tool available, with great features out of the box, and more great features with addins. But WordPress can be very intimidating for new users. Installation and setup are not exactly intuitive and can be frustrating the first (or second) time around. I’ve set up this tutorial for people just like you, who may have been putting off getting into WordPress because you just don’t know where to begin.
Why WordPress-Tutor.com?
I remember the first time I installed WordPress for my wife’s blog. She had been using blogger for a few months and we determined that upgrading to WordPress would be a good change. So I dove in head first - and had no idea where to go. If not for the help of a good friend to show me how to install and setup Wordpress, I would have never been able to make the conversion.
Since then, I’ve installed WordPress dozens of times, for personal projects, for friends and family, and for clients. I’ve worked through many of the pitfalls of a new user and can help you avoid them now.

Bonus
I’ll provide you with a links to many essential plugins and themes to get you started on the right track. There are many plugins and themes available, but not all are created equal. I’ve tested lots and lots of themes and many either don’t work or are just bad. I’ve even seen some with hidden links to porn sites. The themes I link to for your WordPress-Tutor installation are some of the best out there. The plugins I’ll help you install will help you get ranked in the major search engines, allow your readers to contact you securely, and automatically upgrade your WordPress installation. These are tools I wouldn’t do without.
