Hi Peter, the easiest way is to use the “Softaculous Apps Installer” in your cPanel control panel. WordPress also has instructions on their website: https://wordpress.org/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/

Unless you’re an experienced website developer, however, it would probably be a lot better to use our WP-EZ Website Builder, which comes with your account. WP-EZ takes care of installing your theme, all the plugins, and comes with premium page layouts so all you have to do is swap in your text and image for the sample text and images to create a great looking website.

Hi Cal, the easiest way is using Fantastico. To do that…

– Login to your cPanel control panel at germantownbaptistky.org/cpanel
– Under the "Software/Services" heading, click "Fantastic De Luxe"
– Once on the Fantastico page, click WordPress
– Then click the "New Installation" link and follow the instructions.

Thanks for the feedback, Phillip. Those are two things I hadn't even thought about.

Thanks Cynthia. I appreciate your feedback. I almost never talk about our website services in the blog posts themselves, because don't want Christian Web Trends to be perceived as "salesy." But I would like those who read the blog to be aware of activities, services, and specials in case they might be of help to our readers.

My only recommendation is on the CWT site; when I first started visiting I had difficulty finding the link to the blog. Then when I registered, I did not find it easy to locate the login path.
So maybe a direct Graphic and link to the blog and a login option at the top?

otherwise I like the idea of the announcement 🙂

I've been following the 31DBBB since the first week and even bought the ebook. Unfortunately I'm spread so thin right now that I haven't had the time to read it. But I am learning a lot by following along and reading all of the comments.

I am surprised to read that you'll be redesigning this blog. As a graphic designer of 20 years I find it easy to navigate. The only problem I have noticed with it is the color red in the banner ad at the top left under "Follow us on" It is distracting to the reader, of course I know you want it to draw attention but the use of the flash can do that without the excess red. A lighter color would better balance the top of the page.

Keep up the good work, Paul.
