Now that you’ve figured out what rss means (from watching video #9), you can move onto a slightly more challenging tutorial. Inside the last video in this series, you’ll learn about “feedburner”, and how you can use it to help you boost your rss capabilities. If this is all gobbledegook for you, make sure you watch video #9 first.
Talk soon!

Hi Gideon,
Even though I didn’t upgrade to the latest wordpress program, it looks very different than it used to look. I was following along using two computers so I could listen, pause, implement, then continue on. It all broke down though when in video #10, you said to click on “design”. I looked all over the wordpress.admin page and it didn’t see it. Is it there and I just missed it?

Hi Sharon
I just noticed the web address you listed, and it looks like you’re still using the wordpress.com website for this?
All the videos on this site as well as the premium membership site is for wordpress.ORG (not wordpress.COM).
So just make sure you’re on the right “page” so to speak.
My apologies if you are indeed using a wordpress.org website… If so, just let me know and we can look at other options for you.
Also, if you’re still stuck with this, please send me an email at support[at]becomeablogger.com.

you guys are amazing. Thank you! Although, wordpress has had an upgrade since you did your video. I applied my rss feed but, now my left hand nav has disappeared. I will just change my theme.
Thankyou again!

Your videos have been an AMAZING help!! Thank you so much! Unfortunately I am extremely non-techy and I have blogger.com, not the one you are using in this video and I cannot figure out how to implement RSS and Feedburner. Can you please let me know where I could find info on how to do it on my blog page.
Thank you,
Melanie

Hi Melanie
That’s the problem with Blogger.com - your options are really limited. And I do not know how to actually add a Feedburner feed to blogger.com.
Have you done a Google search on it yet?
Also, have you considered just using a WordPress.org blog like we teach in this video series? It’s a bit more challenging to set up, but it will give you a lot more flexibility.
All the best!

Hey Becky
Thanks for your very kind words!
To answer your question, yes, there are more videos. But they are inside the Premium program which is currently closed to the general public. But we will open doors again to the program during the 2nd half of 2009.
In the mean time, make sure you are signed up to our free newsletter and that you’ve downloaded and read The Roadmap To Become A Blogger report here (it’s free):

I just wanted to thank you so much for these videos. They were very informative. While all of this blogging being very new to me this was a very exciting process. A few days ago I didn’t even understand how someone would run a website, but now I have a webpage going (still a work in progress) but none-the-less I am exciting.
Thank you to all that were involved in this video.

Gideon,
Thank you so much for your videos. Some of the best videos I have seen for instruction on setting up blogs and sites.
Your presentation is absolutely superb and thorough and your voice is great (easy to listen to). Thank you.
One question.
Do you plan to make videos on the new WP2.8 ?
Regards
Pamela

Hey Pamela
Thank you so much for your nice comments!
Inside the Premium members area, towards the end of the course, I show people how to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, which at the time of writing this is version 2.8.
To be honest though, I’m not too impressed with version 2.8 - it has a few nasty bugs. When I upgraded one of my other blogs to version 2.8, I lost my visual editor when creating posts and pages - not good.
So, version 2.6.3 is still a pretty good version… and pretty stable too.
All the best!

I went over to your GetYouVideoOnline.com and looked at your video series over there. Its amazing and just what I needed so once again thank you.
It is extremely generous of you to let us view those videos for free when you could just as easily sold them. They are superb. Your logical calm approach takes out the uncertainty of being a newbie to video production.
Look forward to anything you bring out in the future.
One more question (?) though. We don’t get an indication of how much Become a Blogger will be in the dollar vicinity.
Regards
Pamela
