Really appreciate this tutorial. Have lots of questions including if it is possible to create a post template etc.
You certainly can, you would want to take a look at our site for our articles such as: www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/create-custom-single-post-templates-for-specific-posts-or-sections-in-wordpress/
Hey Mark,
There is no need to do the post design manually.
I have found one easy solution for that named #BlogDesigner WordPress plugin. It is a free and user-friendly way to design your WordPress blog page. You can apply 6 different layouts to your blog without changing your WordPress theme.
Thanks.
This was a huge help for starting up my website. Thank-you so much!
Great to hear! Glad we could help :)

You are amazing lady.Explaining everything well.Thank you so much.Do you have any videos of how to include custom css,javascript into your wordpress website?currently i am on the look out for them.Thank you again for a wonderful video.
For custom JavaScript, you would want to take a look at our guide below:
www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-easily-add-javascript-in-wordpress-pages-or-posts/
For custom CSS you can normally add that under Appearance, Customize, Custom CSS

If a newbie knew what a site icon, header, etc, that you didn't explain and show with the cursor, he need not follow/ view this video. A newbie would be swamp with those many terms which needed be shown, especially with the cursor. It is those terms/items that confuse a newbie. . . and most newbies I believed are at least college-educated. Logical thinking is not an issue here. I recall decades ago, whenever we purchase a new item, there's always a parts list in the box. So a customer would always fetch the parts list and read it. There were no RUclips then. But it didn't pose a problem for the customer. That's why you should first start with identifying those parts in the page so that a newbie can absorb and have a better mental picture. Anyway, thanks for your effort.
Thank you for your feedback on a different way we could have done this video!
Love this video now got and idea how can i start my new blog
Glad our video could help guide you :)
I love this thank you! Question please - I want my current blog on the first page and then have them move to the Blog tab and be listed as recent blogs. Do you have a video that shows how to do that? Thank you!
That would depend on your current theme, we would recommend first reaching out to the support for your current theme and they should be able to help set that up.
Thank you so much for doing this it was an incredible help!
You're welcome, glad our guide could help :)
It helps me a lot! Thank you!
Glad to hear that!
I just want to start my blog and I have no idea about this would this channel guide me thoroughly?
Our guides are a great starting point :)
On the latest version of WordPress, I don't see Permalink settings. How can I do what you did in this video?
ughhh, same probleeeem :(
NVM, I figured it out :) Did you just signed up? if so, you have to go to blue host, then to my sites and you should find an icon "Log in to Wordpress" once you click that you get this Layout here :)
Just to be sure, are you using the same steps in this video or is your site on WordPress.com? WordPress.com has limitations that other WordPress sites do not:
www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/
Is this for wordpress.org only or does it work exactly the same way for wordpress.com too?
Our guides are for WordPress.org sites, some of the recommendations will also work on WordPress.com but not all of them
If you’re basically building a dedicated blog, not a store with a blog or something similar, why do you create a blog tab in the menu? Shouldn’t the blog posts (articles/stories) just be on the main page as they’re written? That always confused me with WP.
It is personal preference, it is not required but some users want the blog page to allow other personalization options for other pages like the home page.
@@wpbeginner thanks
This is brilliant, thanks
You're very welcome!
it was helpful thanks a lot
Glad our content was helpful :)
Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
I am new to blogging so wanna know things like - Does it limit my blogs, should I opt for a basic plan ? I understand that I would have only 1 website in a basic plan. What are the things that I cant do in that case?
It would depend on what you want to do on your site if there would be any limitations based on your plan. If you reach out to the hosting provider you're using they should be able to clarify any limitations you may be worried about.
Really informative. Thanks..
You're welcome, glad you found our guide informative :)
Can you pay monthly, I’m a student and paying a straight of yearly cost is impossible for me at the moment
Some hosts do allow for monthly payments. If you check with the hosting provider they will let you know if that is available.
@@wpbeginner inifinity free, google it. Its free hosting and they allow custom domain.
siteground has student hosting available, try to apply for it if you have a .edu email
Tanks very helpful
Glad it helped
very useful video for us
Glad you found it helpful!
Can you explain the difference between with bluehost does and what Wordpress is? And why you need both?
BlueHost is web hosting while WordPress is a tool to build your website. For understanding web hosting you may want to take a look at: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/whats-the-difference-between-domain-name-and-web-hosting-explained/
Hi, you (as many others) seem to use blog and website interchangeably. Could you explain why. I intend to start a website with a blog inside it. The website will also have lots of other content, including my advertising work, my music, stuff about my book, my photos, other writing, links to my social media etc etc etc. Is this the way to go about that. Thanks for the super detailed video!
They're used interchangeably as they are two different organizational methods. You can understand what we mean better in our article below:
www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-is-a-blog-and-how-is-it-different-from-a-website-explained/
@@wpbeginner Will check it out thanks!
Thank you, this very usable help!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. I added the recent post widget, but it is not showing up on my side bar. This is a new site i'm working on . Thanks,
You would want to ensure you have published posts on your site for the most common reason.
Thanks, a great video.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks, this was helpful. Can you tell me about the "containers" for photos, and your process of uploading/shrinking the file size? I had some images on my site be the wrong size for the container, yet I can't find any info about the theme containers. I hope that made sense.
You would want to reach out to the support for your specific theme for the recommended image sized for your theme. For some tools to resize the images you could take a look at: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-resize-and-make-images-larger-without-losing-quality/
Simplified..thanks
Glad it helped :)
I can't thank you enough!,
Glad our guide could be helpful :)
Hiya, great video! One thing that really bothers me is the lack of backup and security. How do you manage this if you don't opt for the options offered? Because whenever anyone sees a website that's not secured, if they have any sense, they're off it straightaway!
For the different security options, you would want to take a look at our article below:
www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-security/
@@wpbeginner That's great for security but what about backup?
@@joecurran2811 3:13 has options for backups
very good video
Thank you!
I'm not seeing the permalinks spot in my settings tab...do you know why this could be/how I can fix it? Thanks in advance!
The most common reason we see for that issue would be if you are on WordPress.com instead of a self-hosted/WordPress.org site. You can see the difference in our article below:
www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/
Great job! I want to start affiliate marketing when I design my website, can I do that without any cost?
You can, some programs do want you to have content on your site before you add their affiliate program but there shouldn't be a cost.
Please, how to insert an image within a text and how to use categories and what does it serves for? Tks in advance.
For categories you would want to take a look at our article here: www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/category/
For image within a text it would depend on what you mean but for combining those two normally requires an image editor
When creating your blog for the first time, and each time you work on it, and click publish, can the entire country see your blog without being completed? I'd like to not have anyone see it until it is launched. Thanks.
If you want to keep your site private you can create a coming soon page to prevent users from seeing the site and any changes you make.
@@wpbeginner thanks very much. My next? ...where do I go in WP to create this coming soon page. Pages?
Not super great. I tried using this tutorial and was lost when actually setting up my blog.
Sorry to hear
How many views does my blog need to have in order to get monetize and how do you monetize? Whats the fee to get monetize, what info will I need to get monetize ?
We would recommend taking a look at our article below:
www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/make-money-online/
Hello Thank you for your hard work, I just found out the answer to my original question. So my second one is, I am not seeing wpforms lite in the plugins did I miss something?
There is a chance the plugin did not get added correctly, we would recommend adding WPForms under Plugins>Add New.
@@wpbeginner No it worked my email went to Spam which I did not check DUH! my fault, thank you very much for your response.
Thanks for your video. I wondering How I can display the posts in the blog's page and not in the homepage.
For that you would want to set a posts page and a static home page which we cover in our article here: www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-separate-page-for-blog-posts-in-wordpress/ :)
Hi, can we use WordPress without adding domain and add it later before publishing the website?
You can create a local installation for that purpose using one of the methods in our article here: www.wpbeginner.com/how-to-install-wordpress/#installlocal
very good
Thank you!

@@wpbeginner So is there a good way to set it up, so that it is a good design for the reader? My hubby doesn't like it when is called Blog. So should I create my own Good title for the Blog? I assume so. Do I sent out the link to my members in my business, in my email marketing? How is best to create a great design? I don't like when blogs have affliliate things in the middle of the body of the text. So I assume I could put those things on the side somehow??

WOW ! this is nice
i was trying to add page in my site. it did not appear in page section. is there any changes in wp ?
There shouldn't be a change that causes that. You may want to ensure you don't have any overaggressive caching on your site from your plugins or host. If you mean the page isn't visible on the front of your site, you would likely need to add it to your menu.
i have to use a specific theme to creative a urdu wordpress site?
No, some themes may have better tools for your language but a specific theme is not required.
@@wpbeginner one more question. Can I use both Urdu and English for one site. Mean posts in urdu and pages in English??
Can i start blog on blogging niche from beginning????
If you wanted to, you certainly could.
