I want to help all those marketers that fail. and that’s why I developed a training which will guide you through the process of creating full featured and profitable websites. if you wanna learn more? search on youtube for a video called: —-»”QQ Course” «– and transform WP into a money making machine

    That was a great piece of information that I will? be able to use well. I was looking to do this for a long time now and then I end up getting side tracked onto other stuff so this was really beneficial for me to find your video to clear this up easily.

    when it comes to mobile web design, free wordpress plugins do their job? better than anything. I demonstrated one of those on my latest video on my? channel. Don’t get scammed by those who try to sell you their highly-priced plugins when there are better alternatives. just go here: ===> /watch?v=l04p2A7sMNM <– or click on my username to watch it

    Hey Michael this was my first weekend building and using WordPress? and like everything its been a learning curve but all in all I can see it as a great program. But as you semi cleared up for me is the fact that everypage I created has a blog on in. And since I am really new to blogs it was really messing me up why. So at least I have some direction to go now. I must ask though it just making a static page going to be the answer? I guess not or you would have said just do that. Well thanks

    I have? created a lot of mobile friendly websites for my clients. It’s a very easy task though because I use a specific wordpress plugin which has really saved me a hundreds of hours and money. i demonstrate this awesome plugin on the? latest video on my channel. just go here: ===> /watch?v=iMqz_kv-UUI <=== or click on my username to watch it

    Ive found that using WP to try and make a website is like using dancing to describe architecture, or using pointers? graphs? and pictures to convey philosophical concepts. It is that clear and logical, or better still telling someone thats born color blind to keep practicing on the colors they cant differentiate, theyll eventually “get it” it just takes time. The illogic of WPs dashboard to get a web page from it are two processes so foreign to each other it would drive a Vulcan mad.

  14. TycoMusicChannel

    How could I do that? i have the? same problem!

    Hmmm, why not just create a static page from within wordpress using the full-width template that most themes include and? set that as your homepage? Then you can make the page look how you want, but you can create it like any other page from within WordPress? Unless you just aren’t very comfortable creating full static pages from within wordpress.

    A better title would? be :”Look at my website, isn’t it cool” It doesnt show how to create anything

    Mike,

    Ive tried this and i get the home page to show as a template, but doesn’t seem to read? the html? Comes up a blank page. Is this video still valid?

  20. emilxt

    A better title for this would? be “How to use a static web page as your home page in WordPress”

    When you see a word Template, you think “reuse” but this is… just a static page. There are millions of videos on Youtube, it is important to find what you’re looking for.

    It’s a useful and well put video, if that’s what you were looking for. But I just wasted 6:20 minutes watching something irrelevant to what I was searching.

    Very helpful.Thank? you so much!

    Some themes come with “Home page template” in built. You have to choose that option that’s it.? Here is one example theme which I use comes with home page template

    Search for “simplefolio” wordpress theme.

    Hope it helps.

    If the homepage.php? theme does NOT show up as a choice under the Template drop down…

    What could be the cause?
