Wordpress has been the most effective content management platform for running the blog. While setting up the blog is quite a complex process but once your blog is set up and ready to post you have no worries. I have made a step by step tutorial for setting up the whole WordPress blog. So let's start with setting up initial WordPress settings. Once WordPress is installed and ready to configure go to Settings and in general settings fill your site info.
Once all the general info about your site is filled you can proceed to install a good theme for your blog. Hundreds of premium themes are available for Wordpress on themeforest.com. You can choose any premium theme for your blog from ThemeForest and buy it for your blog. Once you download the theme I will show you how to install the theme.
If you have bought a theme from ThemeForest then you will have to upload the WordPress theme manually. For uploading Wordpress themes go to themes and click on Add new theme.
Once you click on add new button and select upload theme and choose the theme file you downloaded from ThemeForest. Install it and your theme is successfully activated.
Go to users and select add new. Once you enter all the information about the user you can click on Add new user button to finally add the user.
Go to Appearance and select customize and you can edit your site's layout, add widgets, remove widgets and control how to site looks.
To write posts you will have to work on Wordpress new Gutenberg editor which is the most awesome drag and drop editor. All you got to do is write content and drag and drop whatever you require from the editor itself.
Well, that is for the basics of WordPress. The next tutorial will teach you all about plugins and installing the necessary plugins.
