I am following your tutorial. As far as I can see, you are telling things which are not included in the "free website". So to me that's misleading and very confusing. What a shame. Unless things have changed in the last 3 years...
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... -"-
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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.
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
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?
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.

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 ?
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 really wish you tubers would understand that we are not experts. Please slow down and tell us what you are entering. I got last right after confirming the email.

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
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
Thank you so much for sharing this! It really helped me for one of my assignments !! :)
Great, happy to help!
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.

Thank you for this wonderful video because I was struggling!
No worries, happy to help.

Thanks for the tutorial. Question, by the wordpress "visit site" button the only way you can access the free site you have created?
I didn't get that wp-admin option. what can I do now?

Amazing Tutorial You Help me A Lot Thank You Upload this video
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. :)
Yes will do. I have updated a lot of videos, actually. Google Sites, Blogger, WordPress. I'm on it.
@@DavidUtke hi did you ever make a video for the newer version of wordpress as this video is so so helpful but a lot of the options have changed.
WordPress can't proceed to website without payment in 2022?
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.
if you do not see wp-admin it is under Appearance tab - AMP

Is wix free?
@@JessefollowJesus you can create a free account
There are plugins like elementor that do the same thing
Which one is best? WordPress or blogger?
Is it compulsory to purchase WordPress packages in order to activate google Adsense?

@@DavidUtke thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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 have to ask do the site got live forever without paying anything?
no you typically need some sort of monthly/yearly subscription
I cannot find the wp admin
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.
i couldn't change colors i guess is for paid version 😓
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
Thank you!
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.
i haven't wp admain button
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. 😀
can we monetize it?
Yes, with affiliate marketing. Yes with ads if you're on the business or higher plan.
Thank You Sir...
I cant find WP admin
It's at the bottom where the settings are.
Step one to step done.
So ultimately it isn't free??? Is it right?! You gotta pay atleast 4$
Hello bro i need YOUR help???
tTHANKS A LOT, GOD BLESS U
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.
Thanks David Ute
It’s shows me I have to pay
Thanks you so much.
how i can change site name for free???
If you're using a custom domain, you'll have to switch to a different domain.
Very helpful, thank you🙏
