The XXX-Coach Blog Expert

I do receive frequently questions by other coaches how they can set up their themes. Based upon that, I have made a video exactly about that topic. You can find the video here:

Here you find those sites that I recommend for finding your theme:

• WordPress Themes at WordPress.org: http://themes.wordpress.net/
• WordPress Themes Free: http://www.wpthemesfree.com/
• Here you find also some great themes: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/
• WP Theme: http://www.wptheme.net/
• mandarinmusing themes: http://www.mandarinmusing.com/themes
• Top WordPress Themes: http://topwpthemes.com/

If you know another good site with themes, let me know so that I can put it here in the list.

Have a great and excellent day.

Hi there,

This is an enormous important point that you need to do when you just have installed WordPress on your server:

DELETE THE FILE ‘INSTALL.PHP’ WHICH YOU FIND UNDER THE FOLDER ‘WP-ADMIN’ AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED WORDPRESS SUCCESSFULLY!!!

The reason for that is that whoever can run the install.php again will be able to take full control of your blog, and I am convinced that you do NOT want this. So, when you have successfully installed WordPress and has just logged in for the first time, DELETE the ‘install.php’ NOW.

In one of the videos for installing WordPress I use an FTP program to upload the WordPress software.

Using an FTP Software program is the best and easiest way to upload, not only the WordPress software, but also themes templates, plugins, audios, videoas, images, etc. I personally use SmartFTP which is really user-friendly and easy to use. Unfortunately it is only available for Windows.

To make your FTP program to work, you will need to make a FTP account in the Control Panel of your webserver. Once you have the FTP account, you can create a new Remote Browser, and the following information you will need to enter:

• Host: is the location that you selected when you created the FTP account;
• Username
• Password

And that is it. You are ready to use your FTP manager. Well done.

Your comments are more then welcome.

Have a great  and excellent day!
