Title: Getting Started with WordPress Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Getting Started with WordPress * [bbradford71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbradford71/) * (@bbradford71) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/) * Hello All, * I am very new to all of this, and really need some assistance! I am responsible for doing weekly updates on my companies website, the site was set up with wordpress and it is very easy to make changes, all I do is log into our wordpress account and make the changes needed. * I am looking to create another site for a new company that my company is starting up and would like to know how I can go about creating this new site in the same fashion as our existing site. I would like to be able to just log into wordpress via the internet and create. * Is this possible? * Thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630468) * See [Getting_Started_with_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress) * Thread Starter [bbradford71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbradford71/) * (@bbradford71) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630474) * Thanks for the reply, which version should I start with?

Can I get access to create the site online through wordpress through godaddy.com? * [Gabe Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabeyoung/) * (@gabeyoung) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630501) * You can create a WP site in a few minutes with GoDaddy. If you’re not technical, simply give them a call and they can walk you through the process. * Thread Starter [bbradford71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbradford71/) * (@bbradford71) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630504) * Thanks, I just registered the domain and will give them a call later today about getting started with creating the site. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630508) * Wait at least 3 days for the new domain name to propagate fully before installing WordPress or you will just give yourself a rather big headache for a while. * Thread Starter [bbradford71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbradford71/) * (@bbradford71) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630513) * One I get everything in line and am ready, can I purchase a theme templete and incorporate that with the wordpress through godaddy.com? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630517) * Yes. * Thread Starter [bbradford71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbradford71/) * (@bbradford71) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630525) * Thanks for all of your assistance everyone, I appreciate it very much! * [Gabe Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabeyoung/) * (@gabeyoung) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630527) * Well, you typically wouldn’t purchase a theme through GoDaddy. You can find a theme here or at other sites. It might be a good idea to use a free theme to learn a bit first before purchasing a theme. * Thread Starter [bbradford71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbradford71/) * (@bbradford71) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630559) * If I buy a theme from here or anywhere else wouldn’t it be in file format? I need to be able to work on the site through the cloud. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-wordpress-4/#post-2630585) * Any theme from [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/) will work on a WordPress site. We cannot vouch for themes downloaded, or purchased, from other sites.
