Don’t delete the background music. It ties your vid posts together, makes them unique and marks them as yours.

Im a newbie of WordPress and it helped..

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.

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.

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. 😀

Glad to have helped!

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.
-
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!

Thanks Michael
Basic stuff, but for we beginners, invaluable.
Very nice presentation technique and voice. -
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.
-
-
I don’t know how to do that, I ‘ll try and find out about it Thanks.
-
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.-
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

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.
-
These videos are a great help for novices. Great job, WordPress.
-
thank you that really help me coz im a newbie here thanks again
-
Well done! Thanks to WordPress!
-
I’ve used these tuts in the past, today and plan to in the future. Very well done, thanks for your time and effort!
-
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. -
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!

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. 😉 -
This is excellent!! If your a beginner this is the video for you.
-
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.

Easier to see once than read about a million times…

I am a newbie, and I was greatly helped by the video above. thanks

[…] for those of you unfamiliar with WordPress, or how to use it, wordpress.tv has a great video on how to write/edit your post. By Aaron Knoll | Posted in process, technology/software | Tagged blogging, fire, writing | […]

I admit I can sometimes be slow to comprehend things sometimes and I found this video clear, concise and informative.
My one request would be that when there are multiple videos in a series on how to do something we could have a way to play the next video without leaving this page.
-
To be honest, I’ve always shied away from blogging before but this course is persuading me otherwise.
I found the video helpful and informative. It is very clear and has raised my confidence. -
it’s very helpful to the new bloggers like me
-
This video has helped me. thanks wordpress
-
Great Intro, just what we needed to explain our users just how easy is to create content even for the most inexperienced.
-
All Videos that are being published through this site are so helping for the owners to break through.
I Love it -
Dear Mr. Pick,
Great Video! I went straight for the heading “Writing.” Your video gave me step by step instructions. But can you say that in French or Spanish as well? That is my question. I am interested in blogging in French one day Spanish the next and English of course. Will I be able to do so on WordPress?
I love languages and foreign accents. I haven’t seen any background material on you; but I would say linguistically, you sound like you were educated in England. And have some Indian via Mumbai heritage? Let me know if I have anywhere hit the mark.
In any case, please excuse the feedback, purely constructive, please understand. I could not understand the word “gear,” “rent something called ???” I had to listen to the video 5 times as well as the icon “pauldaddyPaul” gave me made me double take more than once. You may mean “Paul Getty Poll” but it didn’t come out that way.
Guess I will start reading some of the legal jargon now. Please let me know if WordPress is a multicultural blogging space.
Sincerely,
joyla-
Hi Joyla, thanks for the feedback. You’re right about the English part; I’m English, but with much less interesting heritage (probably a mixture of Viking, Anglo-Saxon and Roman if you go far back a few centuries or a millenium or so 🙂 ) I do, however, live in Japan, and have lived in Berlin, too, so perhaps those places have left their linguistic mark. I don’t personally speak French or Spanish, I’m afraid, but we do have a few French tutorials on the site from volunteers within the community. That said, WordPress is used by people in just about every language, and we have localized sites and information for many of them – we’re very much a multicultural platform I’d say and have WordCamps – events for WordPress users – appearing pretty much all over the world these days. Volunteers also contribute translations to the core of the WordPress code itself, along with the documentation.
I think the word you’re referring to is my pronunciation of “Polldaddy Poll”, by the way. Apologies if this wasn’t clear.
