Are you new to WordPress? What if you were?

Hey Guys,

In case you don't know already I have a website that teaches people how to make websites using WordPress (screen recorded videos) and I was wondering what videos to do next. All of the videos I have done at the moment are full length videos showing how to build a WordPress website, start to finish using a specific theme (the link in my signature is a link to one of them). Now I want to do shorter tutorial videos as well and was just looking for a few suggestions.

So I ask all fellow warriors these 2 questions....

1. If you were new to WordPress, what would you want to know?

2. If you knew someone who was new to WordPress, what is the one piece of (positive) advice you would give them?

I have a few ideas so far, which are -

change your password
remove "powered by WordPress"
add posts to your menu
add pictures to widget areas
add a contact form

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am planning to make these videos over the next few weeks and really could do with a few more ideas to bulk up my site!

Thank-You

      Thank-You very much for your input! VERY appreciated! I would never have thought of the "how to add and display a featured image" or "how to add "read more" button"

    Hi efil4renots,

    I think you should write posts and make videos on how to install some most used plugins.

    I'm also down the same road as you and I made a video on how to setup a particular plugin.

    Good luck!
