If you've ever had to teach yourself how to install WordPress, you know it's not nearly as easy as the "one click" installs suggest.

Explaining to customers or friends how to set up WordPress can be quite challenging. Whether it's clarifying the difference between a post and a page, or why the Publish button mysteriously turns into Update after it's clicked, or explaining what plugins are and which ones to install, it can be a very frustrating process.

While there are tutorials available on sites like YouTube, you need to know exactly what you're looking for and hope that the videos are up-to-date with the current version of WordPress, as menus and options can change with each update.

Now, you can access over 68 minutes of "over-my-shoulder" videos that guide you through installing WordPress from start to finish.
