Wordpress Video Tutorial: Why You Need a Wordpress Tutorial

A Wordpress tutorial can teach how to use Wordpress in blogging, but by far the best way to learn is by means of a Wordpress video tutorial. Why video and why Wordpress? Let's take the last question first.

Why Wordpress

Most people use either Blogger or Wordpress for their blog, and there appears to be an ongoing debate as to which is best. I prefer to design my own blogs using Drupal,but that's not related to this topic. With repect to the Blogger and Wordpress debate, there is only one answer for serious bloggers.

Wordpress. That is in now way being derogatory towards Blogger - just fact: run from Google's hosting site kown as Blogspot, Blogger is an easy blogging system to use, and being easy, it has very litle opportunity for customization; however Googe users can use Google's toobar to add posts or online content to their blog at the clickof a button. However, Wordpress wins hands down when we consider serious boggers seeking more detailed customization.

Sure, you can ftp Blogger to your website and run it from there, but if you do the same with Wordpress you have an infinitely larger number of possibilities that Blogger cannot even begin to compete against.

Wordpress Video Tutorials

If you want to operate Wordpress form your website you have to do it right, and it takes some knowledge of how your web space works and also of your online databases. However, learning is well worth it, and there are Wordpress video tutorials online that can help you to do so easily. There is a lot involved, but all you have to do is copy what you see on the video and you will get the same result as the video does.

Not only that, but in order to make best use of it, you have to learn the benefits of using plugins, widgets and themes and how to use them to your advantage. These are what make your blog what it is: add Adsense bocks, a calendar or a blogroll - or all three. If you understand how to do it, you can alter the entire appearance and functionlaity of your blog.

Wordpress Templates and Themes

Wordpress templates are what give your blog its online appearance. Your theme can be chosen according to style or color. For example you can a space-oriented style, woodland, nature, medical, etc. The themes and templates contain graphics that can represent any topic that your blog is based upon. An environmental theme, for example, could be based upon melting icebergs, or pets on a theme displaying any animal you want to choose. There are thousands of Wordpress templates available online, both free and paid.

Wordpress Plugins and Widgets

Plugins are small applications or code that carry out certain actions. As an example, there are plugins that optimize your posts for Google, amd you also get one that sends a tweet to Twitter when you make a new post. It will shrink the tweet to a TinyURL link. You can download a plugin to your blog that will allow you to add a calendar in any format you desire.

A widget is a small icon that activates these plugins when clicked upon. If you use a good Worpress tutorial, all that will be explained, but if your are doubly fortunate to have a Wordpress video tutorial, then you will be able to see what is being done and follow it exactly with your own blog and make it work as it should.

There is now doubt in my view that Blogger is inferior to Wordpress as a blogging system, as long as you run Wordpress from your own website, and you will also need a Wordpress tutorial, preferably a Wordpress video tutorial, to ensure that it is installed correctly and that you understand how your blog can be modified and customized to what you want it to look like.

Good Luck!
