Hi Case,
This is an extremely valuable guide that I believe you could safely recommend to all levels of WordPress site builders.
I am not a coder and this stuff was all gobbldeygoop when I started three years ago to learn how to build a WP site. At that time the only guide that I could find was from Caroline Middlebrook, which I believe is still available as a free download also, but the images and structure have to do with much earlier builds of WordPress and the nomenclature and instructions would not make much sense to some with the new 2.8.6 era versions.
So now I have built probably a thousand sites and guess what? I just learned a couple of things from this beginners guide that I will use from now on, such as adding the “./” (minus the quotes,) in permalink categories.
Little things mean a lot when we are all competing for the love of the search bots.
So thanks to the author and thank you for making it more widely known.
Now I just read your comment terms and am shocked that you do not know Romanian, Russian, Bahassa Indonesia and Turkish fluently! LOL
All the best and thanks again.

Word-press is awesome, seriously.
I wish I had used it when I made this fishing organizations site, I did not use WP, instead, I used the host’s default sit building tool….big mistake.
It had so many bugs, it probably added an extra 4 hours to my designing time.
Next time, I’m installing Word press!
Have used WordPress for years and have loved it. Be sure to check out the plug ins, too… these are constantly updated. I just installed one to remove the “no follow” command from my blog.
good luck!
Great guide! I gotta tell ya, if you take a look at my hacked up WP blog, auto profit launcher, you will see that I came upon your post a little too late. lol
This will give me the opportunity to make some much needed adjustments, thank you.
I have been using wordpress for quite some time now. I still picked up a few valuable things from this guide. I highly recommend that anyone that is thinking about creating a website read through this guide at least once. You can save yourself a lot of time and hassle going with the wordpress platform. As one of the other commenters mentioned there are tons of fantastic plugins to help your customize your website to your liking. I linked the most recent wordpress site I created, as you can see it doesn’t even look like a blog. WordPress is so customizable everyone should try it out!
Great guide you made, I my selves have although used 1 click install hosting till now, which makes it even easier.
I noticed you recommend to take a hosting packages for multiple domains, i also use that, but i also spread my pages to different hosting companies in different countries, to get maximum SEO value, as far as i have understood, google will detect that links comes from same IP tree and give them less value?
Anyway bottom line you did great job with this guide,i am sure it would come in handy for many new bloggers

wordpress is sure easy to use, you don’t need to spend a lot of time learning php, sql, html code etc
was i only spent 1 day learning almost all the basic, now i have 3 blog. all of them using wordpress. very easy to use and very cool design
WordPress is the CMS of choice. Many new internet marketers either don’t know this or are misguided. I wish I had gone for WP when I first started online, WP + Thesis = 80% seo work done.

Hi,
I got your ebook on WF before and now reading your post, both are valuable content. Well, I used your report as your recommendation at WF, however I need to add something there, apparently since the installation is in version 270 while Privacy setting is not a problem, but now with version 286, I think you should add Privacy settings too into the report because the privacy setting now will determine if our new blog will indexed or not.
Thank you for sharing

By God, I really appreciate you work posting such a informative post/guide, I earn my livelihood from internet and i want to make my own website using wordpress but i have no idea about it,I have asked my webmaster friend to guide but he was not taking interest to teach me, your this post really help me, Thanks so much.
WordPress is a God send! It is perfect for complete noobies looking to get a site up, running, and aesthetically pleasing. I picked up a few new cool things from this Beginners Guide. We learn something new everyday. This Guide is a must read for anybody looking to get a simple and easy jump start into website making. My link is an example of a simple and effective WordPress page that I made with help from this Guide.
From my starting day, I used to learn think myself but I still think if I get this book 1 year earlier then I may save some hours. Great E-Book for beginner.
I actually find the codex on wordpress.org site really useful http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page & of course codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development.
2009 is my first time to use wordpress… and it was an history! very user friendly for me.. i follow matt cutts suggestions on SEO plugins
Being an HTML/PHP coding guru, I never thought that WordPress was really worth using… Does it really make things easier? To me it seems like more hassle, but that’s probably because I’ve never used it. I think I should give it a try.
I must agree that this free beginner’s pdf guide to WordPress is a must have for a wordpress newbie. I downloaded it for curiosity’s sake and as I browse the pdf pages, I am gratified by the richness of it’s step-by-step content and the effort in providing the visual aids / screenshots. The 3.6 mb file size is worth downloading and browsing. This is a good find and I’m glad I downloaded it. Can’t wait to share it with some friends.
Good job.
I really wanted this type of guide so that i can make myself confident on word press theme set up. It really help me a lot personally. Thanks for such a informative guidance.

Hi Case,
Thanks for sharing the useful guide on wordpress installation. I’m a newbie in the web and just started a complete website on nainital travels. I was planning to install blog on my website so that my visitor can leave comments on the posts that I’d publish on it but I didn’t know how to install it. After reading your blog, I can install a blog on my partner site that will be linked to this (nainital) website. Thanks a lot again for sharing this useful info. Really helpful! I’ve heard about wordpress’s popularity and recommend it as I’ve seen that many people provides free templates for it.
Well, that’s good news.
Glad this guide helped setting up your own WordPress site.
Wishing you all the success.
that’s a great guide. I think installing wordpress is easy – that’s just clicking fantastico in your host. the headache is when modifying them. loads of work ahead and sometimes you’ll end up messing the whole theme if you happen to forget making back ups!
I can see, from your site, you must have a lot of experience with that!
