STEP 2 / Set up your site (yes, it’s WordPress)

You can get pretty far using the Wordpress blog account to build a TEDx website.

STEP 3 / Theme 101

A Wordpress “theme” is a website visual template that governs most of what your website will look likestructurally. Picking the right theme is very important. Just because you see something pretty doesn’t alwaysmean it will work for you. The website is not a “blog” or a “store front” or a “portfolio”. Themes designedspecifically for these will not work.

STEP 4 / Hello world

In software development, the very first piece of code a developer writes in any language on any platform istypically referred to “hello world”. It basically means “just get the system to spit out a text that says “hello world””.Once you can master that, you can move on to bigger, better things.

STEP 5 / Page, Post, and Category

Pages are content items that stay evergreen for a while. Things like the About page.Posts are content items that you’ll write regularly. Things like speakers, events, and maybe even news items (inthe form of blog posts).
