Whether we create your website for you or you decide to do it yourself one of the things you will want to do is add Images directly to your website. If you are using Wordpress then this brief tutorial will show you how easy it is to add images directly to your pages or posts.
I hope you find it useful and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Incidentally it is exactly the same principle to add videos although I would strongly suggest that you invested in some software called Easy Video Player. I have put together a great Easy Video Player bonus package for anyone buying this.
I think it is fair to say that Wordpress has completely revolutionised webdesign. As an example this afternoon I went to wordpress.com and in the space of half an hour set up a simple site visible here..
People often ask us how they can set up a wordpress blog, or even wordpress based website. It is remarkably simple and easy.
You can either go to wordpress.com and set one up there, it is pretty easy and depending on what you want it can be completely free. You can add your own domain to your wordpress blog for just $14.97 if you register the domain through them or $9.97 if you already own a domain. Additional add ons can add up but it is still likely to cost less than webhosting for a year and your site is lilkely to always look like a blog.
Alternatively you can install your own instance of Wordpress on your own hosting which gives you much more flexibility and you can install plugins to enhance the functionality of your site and the theme of your choice, we tend to recommend Thesis as being highly customisable, fast and search engine friendly. To read more about the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org take a look at what wordpress themselves have to say here.
We would typically recommend hosting your own instance of wordpress on your own blog. Most web hosting companies have a script installer like fantastico, some like bluehost that we often use come with simplescripts which is more up to date than fantastico. This will help you install wordpress pretty quickly and easily. You can then configure the site how you want, use many of wordpresses useful plugins, edit the design to fit your needs and away you go.
Alternatively for those people who are not interested in configuring wordpress themselves we now offer a service where for anyone buying hosting through us we will install wordpress on your hosting package for free with all the most useful plugins.
If you are interested in this service please contact us:
Interestingly I was looking at Twitter earlier today and tried to add one of my competitors to my ‘friends’, nothing wrong with friendly competition after all.
