SCO0097 - Using Wordpress - Free Blogging Software

Following on from an earlier show (a much earlier show - SCO0057), this week I take you through some of the common features and new functionality in Wordpress, the free blogging software. The previous episode covered installtion and configuration so this time we get to look at how to actually use Wordpress.

However, this weeks show is an Extra! members only show (there is one every month) so if you're not an Extra! member you'll only get edited highlights of the full 30 minute show. Extra! members get the full show in a choice of three super resolutions including HD (1280x70 - perfect for the Apple TV), Enhanced Definition (960x540) and iPod (640x360). Extra! members also get access to over 100+ screencasts on all sorts of subjects as soon as they sign up for a 6 month, low cost membership. Check out the details here to get immediate access to this and all the other shows.

This weeks full show includes sections on:

Installation Recap
Using the Administration Panel
Downloading and Installing Templates
Downloading and Installing Plugins
Wordpress Widgets
Installing and Configuring Wordpress Widgets
Tiger Administration Plugin for Wordpress
Wordpress Options

Once you've mastered Wordpress, you're on your way to creating your very own blog with this amazing free software.
