For all those who still aren't part of Pi Network: JOIN Pi Network now! !!!!
You just need an Invitation Code >>>( lavdim1 )<<< to start earning your own Pi Coins.
It is very important to choose someone who is active at mining, because this will affect also your Pi earning. Once in 24h you have to open your Pi App, click "Mine" and close it, or the mining stops (you spend only 1 minute in 24h – that’s great).
I am very active and careful to not let my Pi account stop mining. If you don’t have a code yet, you can use mine: lavdim1
Hello. What if I want to build a gpt website where people can actually watch my own videos from social media and still get paid. Not ads but my videos, they can watch my videos, like my posts, drop comments from my site and still get paid. Can you help me with that? I look forward to your help. Thank you
Thank you Martie, I love the way you explain everything, it's clean, easy and, useful.
Thanks. After trying to set up my site for a month, I now have it ready to go. Clear instructions, not too fast like most, so easy to follow along.
Following along was so easy. Great video
Great instructional video. Leads you step by step through each customization and then lists table of contents with timeline below in case we need to review sections of video again. Thank you for a great video!
Thankyou for this post. i definitely learnt a lot within a short time
I appreciate this video. It's a great reference to be passed on to new WordPress users.
The only thing I would add is talking about alt text so that people with disabilities have more options.
Really appreciate this tutorial …
So glad that I found your video..you've explained very well and the instructions are simple and clear. It also help that you demonstrate the step by step process by pointing out the button or name to click to.
This is best tutorial for learning WordPress. After watching it I am more confident of making my blog than all the tutorials which tell non useful content

I just wanted to learn and practice using my computer without taking it to internet at first go.
Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! You are a genius and have helped me to look like one too.
It was the best video i have ever seen on wordpress. Thanks for this video.
Simplest tutorial video I've ever watched.
I spent days following other videos and I have found nothing as simple and easy to follow as this video. I'm a subscriber for sure now. Looking forward to binging on your videos. Thanks a lot.
thnk you for an amazing video
Such a wonderful tutorial thank you, don't static page will be bad for blogging and secondly premade free templates are badly coded for SEO than the pricey ones where you get updates and support from the developer.
Thank you for the video, so helpful!
Best video ever on the overall making! Glad I found you
Very clear and well explained. From zero to hero in 50 mins! Great

I would like to ask you, which editor do you use for making new posts?
Thank you very much! It was simple and useful.
This has been really helpful, thanks so much 🙂
Very good and thank you for making this video!
Are there any tutorials for building on wordpress.com? Like you pay them to host it?
Amazing video, would want to see more! Question – how to move posts to the page?
how do i change my email address on my website, please help using word press
Hello I liked you video very much but after trying to customize the theme you recommended i got the following message : Warning: Sprintf(): Too few arguments in C:…clash-custom-header line 267 and line 268. Any ideas?
Or a similar theme would be fine!!!
Thank you very much!!!
Simple and easy to follow. By the way, I cannot find the permalinks option in my dashboard. Is it part of a paid plan? I'm currently on free
19:24 there is no customize button on my screen
"WHAT A CUTE LITTLE BABY! WHERE'S YOUR MOMMY!"…….
I have looked at several tutorials (this one being one of the best) that promote Astra as being the theme of choice. I am sold, but one small problem, apparently my ISP of many years (Hosting Check), has an install of WordPress , that blocks the use of any but their choice of templates, and has no provision for deleting plugins (only disable). Is there a workaround for this problem? Several years ago I signed up for lifetime hosting, and hesitate paying for another ISP . The current site was written in HTML by my ex, so I have no way to change/update it.
This is cool
Please can you help me. I want to create new website but I can't make it please help me
Awesome
Best tutorial I had ever seen
How does one create sub-pages in WP?
The video was really helpful.
How can I add links to the my blog on my home page?
Hey, I have a prob, my logo is not shrinking even though I cropped it… It's like covering the entire page
I watched over 40 videos about this subject I got so stressed to the point that I gave up on having my own website until a friend sent me a link to this video a professional and easy to understand video like this people should pay to watch it you are awesome my friend for helping so many people in this subject and for free. I wish you and your family only the best of the best to come your way.
Why the heck does this say 2020 and this was created in 2019, thus, offers are no longer valid???
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am a complete newbie and I'm super chuffed with the results from following your video.
Best detailed tutorial…. Why I cant add plug ins

Excellent learning tool for all new WorldPress users. It was fast and simple. It is important to mention that the final result is easy to use and upgrade. Thank you very much.
Best tutorial yet. I think yours is the fourth one I've watched. 🙂
Question, why does every tutorials video look different than mine? Mine does not say dashboard anywhere. It just says My Site and Reader at the top left. I cant follow any of these videos…
Thankyou … I got my funnel working well now … Made $38.00 in the first 10 mins .. Thankyou !

Just curious – you didn't mention creating a child site, is that not basic security to ensure you can roll back in the event any customizations screw your site up?
