I have used Fantastico which comes with my hosting to install and configure Wordpress on all of my sites. The Wordpress manual is like reading one of those manuals that Microsoft gives you with their products. Great if you are some boring intellectual but not for the every day common person. These marketers are also all talking about web video being a great new trend but then why don't more of them offer some step by step Wordpress videos?
I have used the Web to do extensive research on how to videos and the best ones I have found are from companies who you never would have thought would have provided this stuff. Microsoft has some great Free video trainings for all of their Visual products like VB, VC, and Visual Studio.
I just visited the Wordpress site, very little help, no instructions for installing optional pluggins or themes, no video how to's used Drupal and Joomla and they are so much more than just a blog plus they had a lot of great help both in documentation plus a forum where you can talk to other users.
The advantage for people who install Wordpress is the fact that every time you make a post Wordpress automatically pings a bunch of sites. Other blogs all have an add on module that will do this pinging but for some reason every marketer says that Wordpress does it better. Plus Wordpress has fields for tags, keywords and trackback's that are all with the basic features.
Wordpress or somebody who knows Wordpress needs to come out with a video that teaches you everything in one day. The could then call it Wordpress in one day video instructions. The best video tutorials I have seen on Wordpress do not come from these Internet Marketers. I should say not from the over hyped marketers. If somebody is selling something regardless of whether or not they make a living online they are still a marketer of some sort.
Most of the information I have obtained from these marketers who make their living online are always missing something. I think they do this on purpose though. Some web hosting companies offer some basic video tutorials which you get free as a hosting customer. If you really want to find some good videos that will give you everything you want to know in a day of less then I suggest you do a search for "Wordpress in a day". Or "Wordpress in one day".
Wordpress can create a nice blog site for you but you just have to learn it first. Look at the theme I now have on my site. This was a free Wordpress theme that I got directly from the Wordpress site. Installing it took a little bit of trial and error though since I could not find any instructions on how to do so.
