If you've ever tried to teach yourself how to install WordPress, you'll know it's not as easy as the one-click installations make it seem!

Explaining to customers or friends how to set up WordPress can be even more challenging. Whether it's differentiating between a post and a page or understanding why the Publish button changes to Update after being clicked, the process can be confusing.

And then there are plugins—figuring out what they are and which ones to install can be overwhelming. It's enough to make anyone pull their hair out.

Sure, you can find tutorials on sites like YouTube, but you need to know what to search for and hope the videos are up-to-date with the current version of WordPress, not an outdated one with different menus and options.

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

• Video 1 walks you through the pre-installation process, such as choosing a username that isn't the default "admin," which is a prime target for hackers.
• Video 2 includes two versions: one for installing WordPress using Fantastico and another using Softaculous, the two most popular "one-click" installation routines offered by most web hosts.
• Video 3 shows you how to update anything the auto-install missed since automatic installation routines are often outdated.
• Video 4 covers additional settings changes and discusses the initial appearance of your new WordPress blog, including how to remove unnecessary default widgets.
• Video 5 guides you through installing the 9 essential plugins I recommend for every new WordPress installation, from contact forms to Yoast's SEO plugin, and much more.

And much, much more...
