In this step-by-step tutorial video, I demonstrate how to set up a Google Calendar and then embed that Calendar onto a page on your WordPress site. This is great for people that have events that they would like to display with a calendar on their website.
I also show you how to use hyperlinks with your Google Calendar so that users can be directed to other webpages such as a ticket purchasing page or a PayPal page directly from the calendar that is embedded on the website.
I will also show you how to use the recurring events feature with Google Calendar so that you only have to input data one time for these types of events.
You will also learn how to re-size the Calendar and use the “No Sidebars” template so that the Calendar will display full width on your webpage.

In this tutorial video, I demonstrate how to use a Free WordPress plugin called TubePress to create a clean looking YouTube gallery for your website. The gallery will display thumbnail images of the YouTube videos that will open up in a YouTube player when clicked.
You have complete control over which videos you want to display in your gallery. I will demonstrate how to:
-Display videos from your playlist or from any playlist on YouTube
-Display videos from a particular YouTube channel
This is a great plugin for people who have a YouTube channel or who want to display a lot of YouTube videos on their website. This is a great addition to a website and will definitely give you a professional look.

You can also have as many unique video galleries as you want. If for example you wanted to have a gallery on page 1 with a playlist with the ID of PL976B63B19B10843A and on page 2 you wanted a Gallery consisting of videos from a playlist with the ID of 6FB4C94909198AB7, your shortcode for page 1 would look like:
[tubepress mode=”playlist” playlistValue=”PL976B63B19B10843A”]
and your shortcode for the gallery for page 2 would be:
[tubepress mode=”playlist” playlistValue=”6FB4C94909198AB7″]

Learn How to Create a Blog with WordPress Using the Humix theme (this is the theme in the video and this tutorial is definitely comprehensive): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-zexszNgbE
In this video tutorial, I demonstrate step by step exactly how to install a WordPress social media plugin called social media feather.
You will learn how to easily integrate your social media pages like Facebook, twitter, Google Plus, YouTube, LinkedIn, and more with your WordPress website. This plugin comes with social media icons that can display as a widget in any widgetized area of your WordPress website.
Also, this plugin is light-weight which means it won’t cause your pages to load slowly. This plugin also has great reviews so it should be compatible with most WordPress themes.
This is a great way to grow your blog through your existing readers as it enables them to easily share your blog post content with their followers!
The plugin has two main features:
1) Social Sharing – you can choose to enable the social sharing functionality of the plugin at the end of every blog post so that users can click on the social media platform of their choice and share a URL of your content with their own followers. The URL is generated automatically which is a great feature of the plugin.
2) Social Following – you can easily build up your own social following through the different social media platforms by choosing which social media icons you want to appear in your sidebar or any widgetized part of your site. You can easily link your social media pages to these icons so that when users click on the icons that are on display as a widget, they will be directed to your social media pages.
