Excellent, just what we needed some basic visual WordPress video tutorials in one place. Far better than trying to source tutorials from YouTube and the like.
Many thanks

Great resource for Noobs, but never, NEVER – put a post in more than one category! It’s a very bad practice, if you need to cross pollinate, use Tags as Spiders, really don’t take that much notice at them, but because / if you use categories to alter the URL of a post (best for SEO) and gives great spider bate!
Also found the music to be a bit cheesy but I liked it!!!

Being a newbie to WordPress, this is just what the doc ordered. The TV visual – sound and content you provide makes my learning experience 10 times more enjoyable. I see it and hear it now as I type. This is right up there with the invention of sliced bread. This Works, Keep it Up,
Great job!

To put out a post out onto your live blog, you’ll need to hit the “publish” button.
January 18, 2009 at 9:23 pm |
This video pointed me to publishing a post at a later time, which I’ve been considering, but had not checked out the “how to”. Thank you.

Hi @ all wp blogger.
I think it´s a great idea and the real modern way to deducing Web Videos with blogging. But the mix makes it between real good no duplicate content, Web Videos and pictures.
I use a desktop recording software to prepare web videos for my WP blog for according to the consumer protection. This web videos informs the web user about some criminal websites, rip-off, fraud at the WWW.
So this Blog is only in German.
Best regards and have a good time.

Very Very Very thank

I love these new videos however it would be good to have one that goes through the whole process for posting, embedding an audio, video, graphic and the final result.
Same for pages would also be good with a little on formatting etc.
Having said this all kudos to you for a great job.

It´s posible to post from a form? I want simplify posting and don´t let authors come in to the dashboard.

A great idea to help people understand and use WP better. On the net there are a lot of manuals, books, but video tutorials explain much better.
The ethno music in the background during your explanation is nice.
How did you do it? Sorry, if it can be a off-topic question, but
if I have time, I will try to translate and make new video in Italian language.
(I will, of course, tell you and link your official wordpress.tv).
Thanks.

This is very interesting as i review some of the videos and they are helping but here is what i think would be extremly helpful to all the newbies out there (including myself). Set up a daily video tutorials that take a newbie (an i mean newbie) through each step of utilizing webpress to do blogs. What do to how to do in a sequential way that allows them to go backa and review each of these videos over and over again (for the slow learners like myself) and this would give them to time to practice doing the excersice on their own but must be submitted (something like schoole where you would have a report due). Hope you can do this to keep guys like me on track for learning the stuff we need to learn.

March 7, 2009 at 8:35 pm |
Okay, but for us TOTAL beginners, how do you get to the writing page in the first place. I log in and get a completely different screen with no option to get to that…. Kind of frustrated.
March 10, 2009 at 7:04 pm |
Hi Hilary – as the video explains at the beginning (0:11), you need to go to the Posts> Add New option from the menu on the left (which you should be able to see regardless of which screen you’re on). If you’re seeing something radically different to this it could be that you’re running a self-hosted, older version of WordPress? If you have a menu along the top rather than down the side, that will be the case, and you’ll want to upgrade to the latest version (WordPress 2.7). If you’re using WordPress.com, that’s already taken care of for you. If you need help upgrading and are using a self-hosted version of WordPress, I’d recommend checking out the WordPress.org support forums – if you let people know your specific hosting situation someone should be able to lend a hand.

June 5, 2009 at 9:16 am |
OK…a huge thanks for the one who made this, it was so useful especially for me because until now i can’t use the blog professionally, every time i open it i become so nervous just because i don’t know how to use 100%, but with a videos such this one i think it will become so easy.
June 5, 2009 at 8:41 pm |
Glad to have helped!
June 9, 2009 at 5:36 pm |
Good video. It’s very useful for beginers.

This is very helpful – thank you. I have just been scratching my head on how to get started on my first blog! Many thanks!

This video is downloading so slowly that it is jittery and unwatchable. Is there any way to download it as a podcast or MPG video? Streaming Flash video interfaces simply do not work.
June 21, 2009 at 4:33 pm |
Sure, you can subscribe to all of the WordPress.tv videos in iTunes, Miro or your feedreader – just drop in our feed URL: http://wordpress.tv/feed. Alternatively, you can download individual videos from our Miro channel, here: https://miroguide.com/feeds/9703. Hope that helps!
June 28, 2009 at 9:43 am |
Thanks Michael
Basic stuff, but for we beginners, invaluable.
Very nice presentation technique and voice.
July 3, 2009 at 1:32 pm |
thanks
but I didn’t understand how can we change font & color of posts??
that toolbaar is not there

You need to switch to the visual editor to see the toolbar.
July 6, 2009 at 7:55 am |
I don’t know how to do that, I ‘ll try and find out about it Thanks.
July 7, 2009 at 11:15 pm |
I can’t find any info on how to “seperate” a post.
For instance, if it’s a long post and you want reader to have to click to where the rest of the article is.
I’ve seen this on lots of professional blogs like Perez Hilton.
I’m looking to break up my posts and increase page views.
July 8, 2009 at 2:50 am |
Check out our video on excerpts and the more tag – that should see you right: http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/14/creating-a-post-excerpt-using-the-more-tag/

This is a great starting point. Word Press and the whole Blogging arena are new to our group, looking forward to soaking up the information
July 19, 2009 at 9:59 pm |
Beginners here is your chance to jump in. This is a very basic and informative approach for beginners to WordPress. I agree with Andrea though it would be better without the background music. Your accent and step by step instructions are great but the music is unnecessary.
August 1, 2009 at 6:40 pm |
These videos are a great help for novices. Great job, WordPress.
August 5, 2009 at 6:03 pm |
thank you that really help me coz im a newbie here thanks again

I’ve used these tuts in the past, today and plan to in the future. Very well done, thanks for your time and effort!
October 21, 2009 at 7:20 am |
Thanks for the good job.
Is it possible to add subtitles to this and other videos in another language (Turkish for instance). I can help you for the translations if necessary. Then, I could have used these videos for training a group of blog users in my community.. Regards.
October 22, 2009 at 1:50 am |
You can certainly help us to translate more videos. You can find out more here.
December 17, 2009 at 5:41 pm |
The problem is that I can’t put the post on the page that I want it on! My blog has three pages, but even if I start on page 3, the post always appears on page 2! I have searched all over for some sort of guidance on this…haven’t found it yet!
January 26, 2010 at 12:15 pm |
This is a great way to describe basic wordpress functions to the public. Lately one of my friends asked my how to write a post and I just sent her the PDF file with instructions but it seems Videos work better and that’s why I came to this Video.
Thanks for making it Simple for everyone.
January 29, 2010 at 8:04 pm |
This is excellent!! If your a beginner this is the video for you.
February 3, 2010 at 8:50 pm |
all these comments but not a single one I can find that says what to do after you get a login id and password. yes it sounds silly but I’m stuck.
February 8, 2010 at 7:54 pm |
You can log in using the form that’s at the top of WordPress.com, and then you can get started.
February 4, 2010 at 1:15 pm |
