This video will show you how to install plug ins, where to find them and what and how they work.

To start with, WordPress plug ins are simple apps that are really the heart of a WordPress blog. For instance, the small Share button that is at the bottom of this blog post is a plug in. The Add to Any Share plug in adds a feature that allows blog readers to share blog posts on social media.

Most plug ins you will use are generally free. Some of the more advanced ones you will pay for. These are the ones that allow you to use your blog as an Amazon or Ebay store, a membership site, affiliate review site or whatever. The possibilities are endless.

Now, once your blog is installed, then it’s time to get set up with the right plug ins you need to get your blog powered up.

Part 5 of ‘How to Set up a WordPress Blog with Fantastico’

Now that you have your new blog installed, tweaked, have added all the really cool plug-ins and have found the perfect theme that really makes it shine, what do you do when the server goes down and your blog is nowhere to be seen?

This presents a problem.

The thing you have to remember is there is going to be times when the server that you host your blog on is going to go down. It’s just a fact of the Internet. Sometimes it can be hardware failure, or the hard drive can fail, or the network can go down. It happens, but hopefully not very often. A good web hosting service will have the ability to get your site back on as quick as possible when something happens.

But what do you do when it gets to be a regular occurrence?

It may be time to find a new host and move on, but what about all the hard work that you put into your blog?

This video will show you step-by-step the process to transferring your blog from one web host to another.
