i made it 18:50 in and lost my will to live, much less learn to work wordpress.
watch him drag and drop widgets for 5 minutes and forget to save them EVERYTIME. wtf

Thank you ,although much of what you showed here I basically figured out by trial & error using WordPress . I was hoping this tutorial would have gone into more specifics of why & how widgets can be used ; your section on domains would have been more helpful had you discussed the benefits or advantages of purchasing a domain name.

you waste too much time. you need to go faster and stick to the stuff most people can’t figure out on their own. this tutorial would be a lot better if you weren’t wasting so many people’s time.

Thank you so much, Chris. This really helped out a lot! We have to use WordPress to create a ‘website’ for our Media coursework (our college is too cheap to get Dreamweaver) and as a complete novice, I didn’t know where to start. But this tutorial has helped fantastically, so thanks!

You can really tell which comments are from adults and which ones are from kids. This was a great tutorial. One of the best I’ve watched on any subject.

Thank you Chris, a million times! I could almost cry from relief. I was totally lost on WordPress but now am found. Blind, but now I see. I finally believe that I can get my blog started.

Boring. Self indulgent. If you want to make an instructional video cut out all the bloated ‘me’ crap and get straight to it.

This was incredibly boring! I almost fell asleep while watching this, probably cause your voice is Mono, other than that it was a great video for people who don’t know how to set up a wordpress blog. But I thought this video was going to be on how to blog, like writing and stuff like that.
