  1. Greg,
               thank you for creating this tutorial. This was EXTREMELY helpful.

  2. Great instructional video. Is there a way to install WordPress onto my computer without going to my hosting cPanal? I would prefer to work on my computer without the need to create a webpage while logged into the host site.

  3. Hey Greg. Im trying to switch from the tesseract theme to vantage. Had a few issues trying to set it up. When i activated vantage, tesseract is still at the bottom. How do i deactivate it?

  4. Really helpful, thanks! One question, do you really have to use hostgator to create this website? i mean, i live in Holland and i prefer to have a dutch webhosting, it's cheaper (bc of EU BTW) and its easier for me (bc of the language).

  5. Hi Greg, Good tutorial, one thing I'm getting really frustrated about, in fact so much that I'm debating comiting origarmi, (those paper cuts are lethal). How …. Just HOW do you change the colour of the place where you put your Logo ??????????. please help me before I turn my goldfish into sushi !!.

  6. Hey Greg, Loved your tutorial I already have a web page that I have started to build and I was wondering if I can change the look just by starting over or do I need to delete it first. Also I am using a different hosting company will the vantage style work in their site?

  7. One question, on the contact us page, I used this design and changed the layout bound option to boxed, but now the map is not inside of the box, how do I fix that? thanks for your help

  8. It says I have to pay for themes on wordpress. Did wordpress start charging for their themes?

  9. thanks Greg for your tutorial, I used a couple items from it. On my website I need to upload word documents but when I do the content is corrupted. My bolding, underlining, spacing is all changed. How do I upload my word docx without corruption?

  10. HI, I would like to know how to make the vantage website come up on all browsers. My site only shows up on firefox. I have researched it and found only complicated coding? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Angela

  11. Thanks Greg. Your tutorial was all I needed to set up my new wordpress website. Greatly appreciated. Please give me a link to your facebook and twitter pages so I can follow you. God bless.

  12. Hi Greg, great video. I was a little wary of spending an entire hour+ for a tutorial like this at first but after a few hours' looking at other shorter videos and still not quite getting it, I realised that this was probably actually the quickest and best way to go about making a wordpress site.
    I already have an account, so can I still do everything you did or would it be different for me?

  13. Thanks SO MUCH!! I thought I was destined to another month of painstakingly learning a new program.  But, no! Thanks to you in one hour-long video I'm almost up and running! One question? How do I publish? Thanks again!!

  18. Hi Greg, I need to add my email to my business cards….does the wordpress website have an email address – as i can't put the contact form on my business cards! thanks, clara

  19. I already own a domain name through register.com and I had a site through weebly, but will be canceling that. Do I still need to go through hostgator for hosting my site through wordpress. Thank you for your time

  20. Great video!  Was wondering if you could do a video using any of the themeforest (ie. Betheme) theme. That would be really awesome!

  21. Greg – thanks for the video, really helpful. Bt is there a way of centering the logo at the top? I've uploaded mine and it's clearly to the left of centre for some reason.

  22. Hi Greg. Great vid, thanks! I have created my site with a different theme (Amadeus), but would LOVE to include the circle icons as per the Vantage theme. I have searched for widgets that may be able to help, but can't seem to find any. Any suggestions?

  24. Went through the steps to add the logo. Did't take for some reason. I see it in the uploaded files and logo section in the dashboard, But still seeing the original text.
    Appreciate any help. Thanks.

  25. Best tutorial I have seen so far. Thanks for that.
    My question is: is it possible to create a website as an exercise without having to opload or publish it to a real website.

  26. hello there i want to build website for my winery,but i want it little bit clasy can you create a tutorial for winery or restorants cos it will rly help

  27. Hi Greg, Thanks for your tutorials, they're great. I have advantage theme and love the page builder. I'm wanting to add a blog but after creating a new page/select template the drop down menu does note give me the blog option as I've noted in your video. I pulling my hair out trying to figure out why. Can you give me a pointer?

  28. Your presentation was useful for me, a person so old I worked in a hot lead shop and was really happy when the IBM selectric correcting typewriter was invented. 

    My question is:  I am trying to help a friend revise a twentytwelve theme.  It seems that many of the features you used here are not part of that theme.  Can I download the plugins you used into that theme? 

    How did you generate the "inspect element" drop down selection? That seems exceptionally useful.

    I was reading some directions that mentioned folders for style.css, footer.php, header.php, .png, and a couple others.  Also, it was recommended to download firebug and fire FTP from firefox.  Are these elements utilized in your development process?

    thank you for all the time you have taken to create a clear instructional video, sj
