When I started blogging about 3 years back, I first set up my blog at blogger.com, which I believe, is one of the favorite platforms for all bloggers. But as you season as a blogger, your interest changes shores to Wordpress. This is exactly what happened with me. After blogging for almost about 8-9 months, I learnt about Wordpress and the extendability that it offers to a blogger. I was so amazed and awed at the potential of Wordpress that I straightaway headed over to a hosting company and bought a domain and installed my first Wordpress blog. The story doesn’t end there….!

Wordpress offers a world famous 5-minute installation process, which ensures that you are up with your blog in minutes. This statement is where I started my blog installation. But……It took me about 2 days to get my blog up and running. If your start-up was better than me then I should say that you are a much better player than me.

Let me tell you the points where I got stuck up:-

1. My hosting was not compatible for a Wordpress Installation.
2. I couldn’t figure out how to import my blogger blog into my new wordpress blog.
3. My theme would not install properly because of some stupid permission problems.
4. My database would not install properly.
5. I did not know how to configure my config.php file.
6. I couldn’t install the plugins that was required.

These were just the problems with my startup. The hiccups extended on until about 5 months into my launch by which time I had gained a fairly good understanding of php and MySQL, probably because I had an interest in it.

I had been on the lookout for a course that could offer the initial assistance required to any blogger starting off with Wordpress and gradually handhold them until they could popularize their blog and earn from it. I had even thought of starting a Wordpress Master course. While I was playing with this idea, I stumbled upon another course by a good friend of mine who was heading the Max Blog Press team. This course is called Wordpress Wizard. Though it is not a membership course, it offers an indepth study into Wordpress and Wordpress blog management.

You might want to check out this course in case you are really keen towards launching a Wordpress blog or, even bettering the blog that you are currently running on Wordpress.
