Wordpress. Step by step for beginners. part 2

After posting Wordpress. Step by step for beginners last night, I got to thinking about the whole thing, and realized this is actually an almost incredibly large topic.

However, it is aimed at the new owners of brand new Wordpress blogs, and the aim is to go through the initial learning stages, step by tiny detailed step.

Before going near your blog, you need to get online first. To do this, you will need a domain name, and hosting. I did discuss this in Wordpress. Step by step for beginners. Before aranging hosting, you will need a domain name.

As mentioned previously, TnT Unleashed are Proudly South African, and because we are Proudly South African we support fifa 2010, Malema, vuvuzela .co.za wholeheartedly!

In conversation, late in the evening, you mention to a fellow imbiber that you have a website all about the mating habits of amoeba called http:www.weareheretohelpugetabargainbe4yourneighbordoes.co.za .

WHOA!
You have lost a visitor, and a potential client. Your fellow sipping mate will NEVER remember the website address, and will NEVER get near it because he will NEVER get the spelling right! He, in all likelihood won't even remember the conversation, but that is not under discussion now.

4 Very Important Points arise:
Keep your domain name as short as you can.
Keep your domain name relevant
Your domain must reflect the brand you're trying to build
Don't use funny spelling in your domain name

Here at TnT Unleashed we are able to register your .co.za domain name for only R120-00. Send us a list of 3 domains, in order of preference, and we will do what needs doing for you! 

 This is a short contribution in itself, but we will be tackling a few of the most important pointers for maximising the use of your wordpress website very soon.

As the series grows I will be re-arranging the numbering to make it more logical, and I will (hopefully) soon be posting the planned curriculum, to help not only you, but help keep me more focussed.

Your overnight task? Start a list of domain names you think will suit you, your business, and your wordpress website. It will seem daunting, but without any conscious thought the right name will come to you.

Good Luck!
