Getting started with WordPress can be achieved in three simple steps:
1. Get Hosting
We recommend Hostgator’s Baby or Hatchling plan because it provides unlimited bandwidth and is under $10/month. In fact, click here and use code ‘ignitiondeck’ to save $9.94 on your purchase price.
2. Install WordPress
To install WordPress, you have 2 simple options:
A. Use your server’s Fantastico application in the cPanel.
B. Go to http://wordpress.org to download and get manual installation instructions.
3. Find a Nice Theme
WordPress comes with two default themes, but they are very basic and may not meet your design standards. Here are some themes/theme makers that we recommend:
A. Thesis
B. Theme Forest
C. WooThemes
Most themes are easy to install via the WordPress admin menu, but if you find yourself stuck, check the download for support and/or installation instructions.
