Here is an amazing video that I found on Google Video created by Chris Abraham. This is a 45 minute video that shows you all the in’s and out’s of WordPress.com, the free alternative to blogger.com blogging.
WordPress.com is a WordPress-powered weblog hosting provider. It runs WordPress MU, a less-customisable version of the software that allows people to create and manage their own weblogs without requiring the time, money and technical knowledge involved in setting up WordPress on an ordinary hosting account.

Enjoy watching the video, I can only imagine how much time and work Chris Abraham has put into this video. Take a minute to head over to his site and drop him a comment or two and show your appreciation for his hard work.

While I agree with Chris that WP is better than Blogger… I think people would be better off using a CMS like Joomla.
Then again… to each their own – was a great instructional video.

Joomla is awesome. Unfortunately, it is not quite as “user friendly” as blogging programs such as WordPress. Also, WordPress is a SEO magnet pretty much out of the box. Joomla, is very nice though… and packed full of features. But again, the common blogger who has little to no computer experience and or programming experience, is going to have a difficult time installing, configuring and maintaining Joomla or others similar.
You are right though, there is a huge world open to everyone outside from blogging. I agree 100%.
For people who want to take things to a higher level, give Open Source CMS a shot. This site is awesome. You can try over 100 various opensource programs via live demo before you invest the time into downloading and installing on your own site.
Thanks! Really useful video tips for beginners!
