Thinking about jumping into the blogging waters? Got your feet wet, but struggling with identifying your WordPress blog’s purpose or growing your readership? Whether you are just starting or at a sticky point in your blogging, you’ll find your answers here.
In today’s post I am sharing a recent recording of a webinar. What will you learn in these 70 minutes?
- How can a blog help your business?
- Should you create a free blog on WordPress.com or host it yourself?
- What tools can you use to manage and promote your blog?
- What are the elements of a blog, and which widgets and plugins are a must?
- What are some ways to make your content shine?
So why am I sharing a recording of a webinar I normally provide access to only if you registered? Recenty I have decided to no longer do my free webinars. Most of these webinars evolved from free workshops that I have done locally for the last 2-3 years. Now I have to focus on some other larger online training projects. So I figured “why not share these with my readers”?

That’s a good video Bob!
I was on some similar meetup with other professional WordPress trainer and coach Bill Belew, here in California.
Thanks!
And yes, I was able to meet Bill for the first time as we both spoke at New Media Expo in Vegas last month.

The World is so small
I just have to thank you for a fantastic, easy-to-follow video! I am just starting a blog—-have domain/hosting/wordpress, and have set up most of my site—-but want all my ducks in a row before going live. I have done months of research online and through actual good old-fashioned books, but feel so lucky that I stumbled on your site. I am an absolute “beginner” and have the Genesis/Prose combo, but have been looking for further clarification on the difference between using categories versus drop-downs from my navigation bar. Your site answered some of that, but I felt so lucky to stumble on everything else your site offers.
Loved the simplicity of your WordPress: Getting Started video, felt like I was taking a class (took notes and all!)
Thank you!
Hey Laura, so glad you found so much useful stuff here… always great to hear.
I know some designers and devs tend to stay away from drop downs, but I still believe there is a place for them. Really depends on so many things. As long as the navigation is still kept fairly simple with the least amount of clicks, it’s all good.
