HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT?
My name is Kathleen, and I've been teaching technology to beginners under the moniker Robobunnyattack! since 2009. I believe that with the right approach, anyone can learn anything.
My goal in this course is to help you develop an intuitive understanding of how to use WordPress to build your own website.
In this course, we'll explore the many configuration options, functions and features available in the self-hosted version of WordPress. As we work together, I'll explain WHY and HOW things work in WordPress, so you can learn more quickly and with more confidence.
As we discover WordPress together, we'll cover:
- How to handle basic WordPress site administration
- Adding and formatting content the RIGHT way
- Using images, video and audio smartly
- How WordPress can help you better organize your website's content
- When, why and how to apply important updates in WordPress
- How to select and install WordPress themes and plugins
- And so much more...!
By the end of this course, you'll be able to configure, edit and update a WordPress site with confidence, following best practices every step of the way!
