> 1. Sign up to $5/mo You already lost most people here. > virtual hosting service and choose a domain name. Actually, people don't even have to have a domain name for their webpage. But ignoring that - how will people know that this is what they need to do? "I want to create a homepage, I don't know what 'virtual hosting' is. I don't know why I need to be looking for 'services'." > 2. In their control panel, click "Install Wordpress". In their what now click what now? How are you so sure this is always possible? Also, what about search engines (cough-Google-cough) under-ranking individual pages in favor of larger, corporate-favored sites?

> how will people know that this is what they need to do? Why has the tech community at large completely failed to educate people on the basics of something used by billions of people daily and affecting increasingly-important parts of their lives? Is it because we keep infantilizing them the way you seem to be doing, pretending they are too stupid to learn anything new? Or is it because in an effort to simplify, everyone simplifies to a different way, resulting in even more complexity? Or is it because tech really doesn't care and sucks at explaining anything? A bit of all three (and probably more) if you ask me
