Your video was less than an hour and clarified so much for me and made me feel confident in my ability to run a blog. I truly owe you so much!! Thanks a ton to you and your awesome content!

[@WesMcDowellInc]

[@tlshachar]

This is golden! and so timely. Thanks much for keep producing such great videos 🙏

[@nepalicreator]

Brilliant.. thank you. My humble request.. if possible…Please make one video about rearranging the menu bar, how to edit and display pages under one stack, sitemap html page, footer menu, insert social profile, what to include and exclude with the sitemap in terms of header footer, how to avoid duplicate content when using this template… thank you from bottom of my heart..❤🎉

[@tereferafi5568]

Amazing content. This video is my savior. I struggled only with one thing. How to change the sidebar content. Answer -> apperance -> widgets in your dashboard.

[@talesfromthehorizon]

Wes , man, you are a lifesaver sir. U saved me.

[@hospobimbo]

Thank you for this amazing video! I just had one question that I can't seem to figure out: how do you create a way for visitors to subscribe? ie: a CTA option for them to input their email, and somehow capture that into an email when a new post goes up? Thanks!

[@me.as.tanner.19]

do have a question, so i need an RECENT Section on the home page how can I do that I want it to show the recent and I want the homepage to have "Home" "About Us"

[@ertv00]

Would it be beneficial to have the “main page” that Blocky creates be the blog page and then create a home page as a landing page? Can someone help me on how I would do that?

[@rufeelin5492]

Brilliant tutorial Wes - now i can keep keepin on 👏

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Rock on!

[@spinecollector9931]

If I already have a website using the hello elementor theme, can I also add this one onto it to get those pages?

[@littlewishtree]

Thanks for this video, you save my time. I setup blog for my company with in minutes. Best Part its very smooth and easy to customise.

[@KirstenSarle-np5dl]

Just gotta say, this video was a savior. I was struggling trying to make my blog. There are so many options and without knowing what is what this video really helped. Thanks!

[@sfbbtraining]

I want to thank you so much for the amount of time you have put in. All the best James M

[@sandrabaldwin7362]

Fantastic. I now have a great looking Blog site 🎉. Thank you 😊

[@Minnmic]

Are you able to add a store?

[@LeoBucko-lr7nl]

Thanks for the info! I was trying to build from scratch, and this helped move me forward!

[@HOAwatchers]

Although I like how this is specific to a blog, I'd like more of a homepage look versus page after page of blocks. I've tried to add an element or some kind of text underneath the header with a picture and info about my organization. In my posts, I"m having issues adjusting the pictures to be smaller or different shapes. I have used Wix but seem to be struggling with Wordpress. I've tried videos and other templates but not having great luck with those either. Any suggestions? Am I using the wrong template or do I not know how to do something? Looks like there might be an upgraded version of Blocksey.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

I have plenty of other tutorials about making regular websites!

[@kinesiology-moves9598]

Hi Wes, this is great, thanks. However, I then edited my blog article with Elementor and all the stuff I set up as shown in your video, disappeared. It turned into a page instead of a blog page. Any advise on that please?

[@BehindTheScenes307]

is this theme adsense friendly?

[@bioshock14]

Ive downloaded the Blocksy theme but the Starter Sites doesnt seem load up the addons. Can someone help me with this.

[@kheyriyoqasaaro]

i need to make blog page and add to menu after that all the categries is sub item of blog ? can you give explanation of how to do correctly ? and is this theme premium or free?

[@soji77]

Hi, thanks for this great tutorial. I have a question, can change the blog structure or custom this? Because blocksy just have 5 option, i need a custom structure.

[@zodn921]

Thanks for making this, Wes! Very helpful for a terrified WP begginer like me. I'm still struggling with the sidebar, however. Not sure what I did, but the original one disappeared and I can't figure out how to make one from scratch..

[@justinlee4434]

I thought I was a beginner until i knew 90% of the terms lol because i built websites with html5 but this was helpful thanks! just need to know how to manage themes and like the difference of themes since they operate differently lol

[@Utkarsh-z2i]

Very well made video, easy to follow and execute. Thank you so much.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beckymiller5446]

Would you be willing to create a video that shows us how to add a blog to an existing Wordpress/Elementor website? Your instruction is so awesome and thank you so much for helping us out.

[@mrdarryk1]

Awesome video Wes, but I have one question? There is a blue box in the side bar. How do you change what it says? Never mind, loved the theme so much i upgraded to Pro and talk about flipping a switch.

[@mohaab8786]

Thanks sir you helped me. Now i want to post using Ai , where i can your video link?

[@ThriveCRMai]

Need the business plan to get blocksy. It's $300/year. Might want to lead with that

[@kerawelt2008]

Hellos Wes, smashing tutorial, many thanks ! In the time line, you write "Installing Template with Elementor" But it seems you are not using Elementor. Am I mislead ?

[@GradolfAyumbi]

I found this helpful. Thank you

[@peacefulnaturerelaxation8958]

Awesome tutorial

[@plabonsamsulhuda13]

How to add site logo?

[@Craftyfly]

Can you change your blog from basic to ecommerce at a later stage.

[@5l2f]

Anyone knows how I can change the logo onclick to redirect to a different site. It redirects to the blog homepage but I would want it to go to another site i.e. my main website

[@healthystepsforward]

Great video wes. Keep up the great work!

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Thank you!

[@Mychannels45]

WTF. i paid $600 for this😥😥😥. And here your giving full course for free in details.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Not at all! This is just the last part of the program where I teach how to bring it al to life... BUt the launchpad actually shows you all the content you need for a profitable website. Rest assured, THIS is not on the same level as the launchpad course.

[@Mychannels45]

How do I access it?​@@WesMcDowellInc

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Wait, you didnt buy it? lol Im confused. If you bought it, you'd have received an email with your logins after purchase.

[@Mychannels45]

​@@WesMcDowellIncok sir. I'll definitely check it

[@Craftyfly]

Amazing tutorial. Love it

[@peacefulnaturerelaxation8958]

Thank you so much. I am truly grateful

[@fionakatharina]

Thank you!

[@justlaura7177]

Just discovered you and wondered if you had any WordPress videos about how to install and customize a theme you bought on Etsy. I believe I've installed it, but I'm having trouble customizing it and wondered if there was a video about this.

[@nellymain8443]

Hi Wes, is Blocksy pricy? If so, maybe I need to get one of the free themes. I appreciate your answer. Thank you.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Nope it’s free

[@sparky1386]

I don't have Blocksey on my page.

[@johncruz1644]

Brother, please help me out here. Can you recommend a free theme for a music artist website with album releases and countdown support?

[@BarkingandMad]

YOU WON'T BELIEVE how long I spent scrolling through KZbin and Udemy trying to learn everything that was in this video, Wes, great job! I do have one question though, bit advanced but I want to have blogs and newsletters, but newsletters you have to subscribe for (I want them to be private) So. if I was to have a newsletter button on the top banner (with about us etc) how do I make it private with an email sub button to continue. I want my newsletters to be premium. access only through subscribing, and how would the site know without always making them login, I don't really want a login option. just email subs passed onto many chat. (for my business etc)

[@adrianrodriguez6503]

Although this didn't help me with my issue, It's a fantastic tutorial, thank you! My issue is that I'm trying to add my newsletters, published and distributed (email) through Constant Contact, to our website. Imagined it would be similar to a blog. Unfortunatly, I haven't seen any options to connect Wordpress with Constant Contact but I was able to download the newsletter as a PDF from the Constant Contact website. Is anybody able to assist with this?

[@rgasta7765]

Wes best teacher.

[@Sir-Atina]

Great content

[@thagabbybrand1326]

You are Awesome!!!!!Thank You!

[@kerribarrycrochet]

I don't have any of these options to edit.

[@charlesluck8921]

Wes, OMG!! You don't have an Indian accent!! You're cadence and articulation are great, as is your choice of theme. Thanks for this.

[@KhaterehMalekian2000]

[@zephyr4813]

Blocksy is not free.

[@HueyTurley]

This isn't a free theme?

[@princeekotite9277]

Blocksy is one of the best Wordpress free theme 🔥

[@beardedraider4751]

So i am coming to do this 3 months after you posted this vid, and blocksy is no longer free and needs a bussiness account :(

[@paddysilke]

it isn't £23.88 a month?>

[@WesMcDowellInc]

It might be, I know it’s not free anymore unfortunately. But sometimes u need to invest in your business.

[@Viral_Movies-u9b]

@@WesMcDowellIncpls what’s the coupon code It keep saying apply coupon code after go thru with your link

[@athenarocar]

so, your tutorial is really out of date. none of what you provided here is on wordpress and it is no longer free.

[@tastOne-m3s]

❤🎉

[@vanhelsingx69x]

I hate the fact that you start with the hosting.... that's wrong... you should do that as the last step... ffs what if it takes a year for me to build my website? I buy useless hosting from the start

[@WesMcDowellInc]

great, try doing without hosting. I'll wait right here :)
