Oh my God,thank you so much,ive been confused for a long time,and I kept on deleting my websites,but your video just explained everything to me,,I'm so grateful
I'm confused cos the menu bar that appeared on my screen is a little different than what appeared here and I can't find some of the tabs that was explained... like the 'writing' tab under setting is not there for me... -"-
David, great tutorial and lots of work on your part. Unfortunately these things change all the time and 2 years later a lot of options are gone. Can you make a short updated version? New subscriber. :)
you have "homepage" and "posts page"... under posts page, all I see under the dropdown is "homepage" I don't have option for blog? Ive tried several themes.
So I was watching your video on twenty twenty one theme because I'm struggling with building this little website (haven't worked on web building for over 20 years. You mentioned "Smush" as a good plugin to use. When searching for it, i get "no plugins found" Is it no longer supported?
I Run Compliance Check to determine my site's compliance with updated data processing and consent rules under GDPR, CCPA and other international data privacy laws. Didn't pass. What plugin to get which is simple and free and doesn't require study law for several years.
Mate I’ll be honest, you have put a lot of time in this video and talked about good points. But I expected a more detailed explanation about what rows and columns are, what on earth categories/blocks truly mean (i.e. how that effects the layout of things) and how you can change the positioning of assets on your page in any configuration out side of what the template provides. I find it extremely annoying trying to add simple elements and assets to a page and have them where I want them let alone creating separate pages. Just some friendly feedback.
You have to use a shared host like Bluehost and install WordPress to get access to plugins. If you're using the .com version of WordPress it's functionally a website builder and the restrict plugins until you upgrade to a business plan or higher.
i find wordpress a little limiting, especially when compared to software like wix where one can drag and drop and build it all yourself, what is the advantage of using Wordpress maybe im missing out on something ?
he creado un sitio web en su versión gratuita Es de mi ciudad y lo he puesto público y marcado "disuadir a los motores de búsqueda de indexar este sitio" Pero cuando escribo el nombre en google no veo que aparezca en los resultados. ¿qué ocurre? ¿tengo que contratar un hosting y comprar el dominio para salir en google? Gracias
Hello, thank you for making this video it helped me a lot! - I want to know if I pay for hosting (such as blue host) that gives me a domain name, do I have to pay the personal plan of WordPress? If so, can I run my website with the free plan until I can pay for the personal plan? I'm really broke lol
WordPress is confusing because they have two different offerings. A website builder found at the .com version and a CMS script you can install on Bluehost or any host. If you get a hosting account, WordPress is free to install and full featured.
Hi David! many thanks, awesome video! One question: when I click "new page" I don't see any layouts...why? Should I have to install a plugin? thank you!
@@DavidUtke I cant find embed html templates liek u sued to years ago. i used to just add the html code in the block. plug ins seem to be a way to force you. shame i cant fidn the code templates easy onlien anymore to make a site. any help?

Not really. My blogger blog is technically on a free host and I make $10-$30 a month max from ad revenue and the odd one off affiliate sale. A site on a WordPress dot com is a good start, but long term you'll want to upgrade to a paid account for all the features you'll need.
Thanks for watching. Subscribe for more videos :)
Missing the part *start with a free site* or its not free anymore?
Kindly Help me plz! I can't find the same options!!!
One of the best intro I have ever seen.
Thank you .Its my first and no idea for this but i will watch and watch again all your videos to gain more knowlegde
hey, man, thanks. Can people with Free account do basic SEO optimization? or no?
Basic yes, but it's not as feature rich as having your own website on a self hosted domain. What exactly are you looking to do?
@@DavidUtke I'm new to building website, noob. Can you advice what basic free SEO within wordpress I need to use/focus on within wordpress? Thanks
Some of the options are not showing anymore. I hope that there will be a new tutorial that is upto date. But this video is still awesome.
I am just starting out, this video really helped! Hoping that I'd get better at Wordpress as I go along.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It really helped me for one of my assignments !! :)
Great, happy to help!

Thank you. This was very helpful.
Happy to help out.
Great video, but I have a small question. If I launch the website with a paid domain, can I update the website's content later on?
Thank you for the video, it really helped. Keep up the good work and hope your channel grows a lot.
I'm confused cos the menu bar that appeared on my screen is a little different than what appeared here and I can't find some of the tabs that was explained... like the 'writing' tab under setting is not there for me... -"-
New update maybe
I need to study it well

Hi I have a burning question. Why are we only allowed to select 1 post page? What if we want to posts on multiple pages? Is that not possible? Thanks.
Thank you so so much♥️. This video helped me alot for my all projects.

thx man, learned a lot
Awesome video!Thanks!
Thanks David!
Thanks for this video. It was really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for this wonderful video! ;)
Thanks for the tutorial. Question, by the wordpress "visit site" button the only way you can access the free site you have created?
It's nice helpful video. When I click on Appearence option I wasn't able to find Menu option. how can I be able to find it??
if you do not see wp-admin it is under Appearance tab - AMP
you have "homepage" and "posts page"... under posts page, all I see under the dropdown is "homepage" I don't have option for blog? Ive tried several themes.
Thank you ! its very helpful for me as newbie :)

Is wix free?

There are plugins like elementor that do the same thing

Hey David please can you make a video on how to migrate a free WordPress blog to Blue host hosting..
Please
Please I'd be expecting a response Dave
Sure, interesting idea.
@@DavidUtke thanks alot Dave..
great video really cool, detailed and so forth
Hello, thank you for making this video it helped me a lot! - I want to know if I pay for hosting (such as blue host) that gives me a domain name, do I have to pay the personal plan of WordPress?

@@DavidUtke explaining it like this to someone that's doing a website for their first time isn't really helping. Could you please explain?
Hi thanks for this video, I already have a problem .. WP Admin is not shown in my wordpress .. neither is Dashboard .. what am I missing ??
I guess wp admin and dashboard are premium functions or not used anymore in free version.
21:46 there's no "Full width" option though. this has been my problem for so long now. i wanted my cover to be a full width image
Thanks you so much.
I didn't get that wp-admin option. what can I do now?
Same here...
@@snigdhadey4712 And also add new plugin option
Appearance - AMP
same here. what can I do about. I tried to click the AMP in appearnace but it's not directing you to new window
Het David , thanks for your video, I want to ask can I use a free website created with wordpress to make money with google adsense ?
thanks a lot
Hi sir
Thanks for the tutorial

Hi David! many thanks, awesome video!
One question: when I click "new page" I don't see any layouts...why? Should I have to install a plugin?
thank you!
I actually don't see the WP admin link, happen to know why? hmm
same issue here man. have you found any fixes?
same, but what i did was I typed the url of my website and added /wp-admin at the end for example MyName.wordpress com/wp-admin
@@soundsoftherealm9520 thanks!

I'ts forcing me to pay for a plan and not use it free?
It's free but will interupt you to pay.

or any other way??
i couldn't change colors i guess is for paid version 😓
Very helpful, thank you🙏
I have to ask do the site got live forever without paying anything?
no you typically need some sort of monthly/yearly subscription
i want to make a photography base blog page is this tot can help,please tell me big bro and i dont want mobile view i only want to provide deskstop and tablent view !
I would consider looking at a website builder called format. It's specifically for photography - davidutke.com/blog/best-website-builders/
@@DavidUtke David big bro am a school student so yeah i need something free (wordpress is great but the problem ? i cant install elemantor wihtout buying the plan :( ) please help me :(
So ultimately it isn't free??? Is it right?! You gotta pay atleast 4$
Great video, but competition is highering the standard, you have some WB like mobi rrise that have crushed the market with template from another planet. Can you make a video comparing the market leader and some other site buider ?
I'm pretty sure you are now required to pay for it.
I sir i need make 6 page website how create the website
Google sites or Carrd dot co I would suggest.
What if WP Admin doesn't show for you?
Hi, have you later got a solution to it?
I love you.
I cannot find the wp admin
Does anyone know how to edit the wordpress timetable?
bro its still free to make a website or u need to pay ?
Keren👍
Why all of my settings looks and many option is not there 😐
I'm using the dot come version. You have to click the bottom link to enter the dashboard area. The main interface for WordPress is too simplistic.
@@DavidUtke thanks a lot.
Now i just need to understand the blog post management. The home and menus are done. 😀
how can i access plugins? it says i have to pay...
isn't there another free hosting website that has wordpress integration where i can install classic editor, elementor, etc without paying? i don't care about domain name, i don't need a nice slug is just for a personal page
They cost money
@@dragospahontu wix has free hosting and free domain (with their name).... but ther's no wordpress instalation....
i don't care about the domain name i just need a site to practice, i can't afford to pay one, it wold be dumb to pay for a domain and a host just to fool around and discover how to create a web
i haven't wp admain button
guys anyone, can i follow this for making blogpost website??
I have a totally different tutorial on using Google's Blogger platform you can check out.
It’s shows me I have to pay
deprecated UI. Please make a new tutorial with the new UI.
can I use elementor???
With the .com version, only if you upgrade to their business plan. If you go the self hosted route with Bluehost you can.
Hello bro i need YOUR help???
can we monetize it?
Yes, with affiliate marketing. Yes with ads if you're on the business or higher plan.
I couldn't register with wordpress. I fired hostgator.
Thank you! Very informative video. But wow how fast you are speaking 😅
Really? I actually try to speak slowly as Im from New England. Thanks for the feedback.
@@DavidUtke It needs money for dat domain bruh
I cant find WP admin
It's at the bottom where the settings are.
hey you need a video editor ? im freelancer on upwork
how i can change site name for free???
If you're using a custom domain, you'll have to switch to a different domain.
😍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What are the downsides of this free domain?
Not ranking well in search. Also, most want to build a brand they own.
Can you really earn money with free site blog?
Not really. My blogger blog is technically on a free host and I make $10-$30 a month max from ad revenue and the odd one off affiliate sale. A site on a WordPress dot com is a good start, but long term you'll want to upgrade to a paid account for all the features you'll need.
