Learn WordPress, WordPress Learn
Learn WordPress, WordPress learn!
There is quite a lot of information on graduatejobtips.com relating to creating a blog of your own. My eGuide touches on getting your blog setup through hosting, and also get WordPress installed whilst doing this.
What the eGuide does not cover is how to learn WordPress. WordPress is actually a very intuitive blogging platform, which is dynamic and constantly evolving as new and cool plugins are getting built all the time. Learning WordPress is therefore something one can do on his/own by simply adopting the trial and error approach.
BUT, if you wish to learn WordPress quickly I would far rather recommend taking a WordPress course for beginners. When I was l looking for an online WordPress course, the options were few and far between, and I ended up teaching myself. This worked out fine for me, only up to a point. There were still certain aspects of WordPress I was not familiar with, and felt it necessary to take a WordPress course, which would provide me with a comprehensive understanding of the platform. After hours of trawling the darkest depths of the interwebs, I found this little gem:
What made this course so good?
- An articulate and succinct presentation style from the Instructor Tessa Needham
- Transcends the usual basic WordPress stuff
- Teaches one the basics of FTP, which although is a bit advanced, is very important to know if something goes wrong on your site
- Teaches one basics of coding
All in all, of the three WordPress courses I have taken, this was by far the best one. The only thing I would change with this course is the name, perhaps to, “Learn WordPress, WordPress learn”.
If you are looking to learn WordPress and aim to become proficient in a short space of time, then why try this course on Udemy here.
