Introduction

GTOL Members are invited to create their own personal web space on the GTOL Website, using WordPress.

WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. WordPress is built by volunteers, and there are thousands of plugins and themes available to transform your site into almost anything you can imagine.

Your personal webspace can be about yourself, your interests, your travel, your work, your business, or ALL of them. Your space, your choice*.

If you'd like have your own personal web space, just visit the [GTOL Member – Site Request] page, where you can lodge your request, or <click> on my name below, if you have any questions.

Once you do that, we'll be in touch to set it up, just the way you want it (Name, Title, Email, etc.)

Tutorials

The following tutorial is the "official" WordPress.com tutorial and you can pretty much ignore the first 8 minutes, as it relates to setting up an account with WordPress.com and doesn't really apply to GTOL Member Sites.
