Don't miss our latest blog entries. Keep updated!

We've created a demo site so that you can see an example of what can be created in a matter of minutes at Home for Artists.  If you watched the "5-Minute Web Site" video, we followed those exact steps to create this.  After that, a few posts were added and some settings were changed.  And you can see that we have a great web site with blog posts, pictures, comment system, etc.  We even changed out the billboard image at the top - this image can be anything you like.

If you're a visual artist, you may require an image gallery that exists on its own (rather than putting your images in blog posts, as we've done in the demo).  Remember that plugins exist for just about any functionality you like in Wordpress's plugin database.  For image galleries, we recommend the plugin NextGEN Gallery for most web sites.  Just to give an example of how simple this is, here are the installation instructions:  In your Wordpress admin area, click Plugins > Add New.  Type "nextgen gallery" into the search field and hit Enter.  In the results, find NextGEN Gallery and click "Install Now" then "Ok."  Then click "Activate Plugin."

And you're done!  Adding site functionality really is that easy!  Now you will find a Gallery link in the left column that will allow you to upload photos and manage your galleries.
