WP Blog Host has a television channel!
It’s my pleasure to introduce our new tutorials Web television channel, WP Blog Host.tv.
As many of you know, I’ve been spending lots of time creating easy to follow WordPress and WP Blog Host product video tutorials for bloggers and customers who host with WP Blog Host. The tutorials can be for anyone blogging and using WordPress, but bloggers who host with our company get the extra advantage of watching how to do everything using our hosting (click-by-click).
Here’s a snapshot of our new television channel:
Ok I know, a nice slick video slider would be nice on the home page. I spent days toying with lots of WordPress video themes and you know, none really clicked with me. Most of those themes are all very dark and hard to read. Some come with various color choices and I did experiment with color changes, but in the end a simple blog style theme worked best for me.
Down the road when I start doing “in the news” related videos, I’ll probably shell out the big bucks and really build a nice customized site.
I do have to give one mention, though, to a guy named Vishal from Fresh Lime Sode. They have a number of WordPress themes and this one in particular I really liked and tried. The best thing about him is when I ran into a few issues, Vishal was quick to reply to my emails and even did a little customization for me.
If you’re looking for nice WordPress Themes and want to know there will be someone available to help you with your support needs, I highly suggest checking out Fresh Lime Sode.
Subscribing To The Videos & Scheduling
The new site, http://wpbloghost.tv (opens in a new tab), has its own RSS subscription so you can keep up to date and notified when new videos are uploaded.
Because this is my project and it is relatively new, there is no set posting schedule at this time; however, that may change in the coming months. I do have a nice running to-do list and will add videos regularly, though.
WpBlogHost -> WP Blog Host
Converting our old tutorials page into its own tutorials Web channel is only the first step in some exciting changes coming to WP Blog Host.
Ah yes, did you catch that? I used WP Blog Host, not WpBlogHost. After months of watching how others reprint our name, WpBlogHost felt it best to go with what everyone usually remembers, WP Blog Host. Why not, right? That change will come to the main site real soon.
Also, released shortly will be a new design of our main site and my blog. I’m really excited about the redesign of my blog because it will be more representative of me, John Hoff the blogger, rather than our “corporation’s blog”.
Feedback
Back to the topic at hand, if you have a few moments, I’d love to hear a little feedback on the new site, WP Blog Host.tv and I hope you find the tutorials useful.

Hi John – This is brilliant! Your videos have been a great help to me in the past day after you pulled our hiney out of the fire when I overwrote the blog. Doh! Thank you so much again.

My pleasure, Betsy. It’s been great getting to know you a little and I’m pleased to know my videos are useful. Thank you for the comment.

Nice idea, think I may get thejimgaudet.tv soon.
First, your TV site has no FavIcon? Other than that I really like it. I didn’t know you did that many videos.
One day when I have time I will visit them, but for now I will just follow the new ones.
Good work and I can’t wait to see the updated WP Blog Host..

Hi Jim, thanks. Yeah I’ll get on that Favicon.
I try to do a few videos at least each month. It builds quickly when you do that.

Congrats on the new site. My apologies for being too swamped right now to check it out, but it sounds like a brilliant idea and very useful.

Hi Davina. Thanks. It was a lot of work moving my old tutorials “Page” to tutorials “Posts” onto another domain. Wish I didn’t have to lose all my comments, though. But I’m happy with the new site. Thanks for stopping by.
