Anyway, I loved your article Mark, Thanks for sharing.

Therefore letting professionals deal with developing process is the better choice from my point of view. Anyways thanks mate for specifying pros and cons of maintaining own website nicely.

WPbeginner is surely a great place for beginners after they have launched a blog… Another great source is http://startbloggingonline.com – There's also a tutorial on how to install wordpress manually (which is quite handy in some cases).

Anyhow, it was a great video, loved it 🙂

WordPress is the biggest blogging platform in the world. It's used by everyone from amateurs (me) to pros. The best place to start learning about it is Michael Hyatt's video blog "How to Launch a Self-Hosted WordPress Blog in 20 Minutes or Less" at http://michaelhyatt.com/ez-wordpress-setup.html. After that, I recommend WPBeginner.com for all kinds of tips and tricks.

What is WordPress & how did you learn it or where did you learn it from?

I'm a new blogger, but I decided to build my website myself, even though my computer skills are limited and include NO ability to write code.

I've become a WordPress student – and fan. The process was time-consuming up front, but now I have full control over all my material and its delivery. Plus I've learned how to be a better blogger by having a better understanding of how websites work.
