WordPress Tutorials

I love WordPress.

This site, like all the sites I build these days, uses WordPress as a base. No longer just a blogging platform, WordPress allows any user with enough technical skill to send email to manage their own website.

Of course, sometimes you want to do something a wee bit more complex (and, admittedly, sometimes WordPress can be maddeningly opaque.)

If you’re stuck, I’d love to help you out. I’ve created a handful of video tutorials (and we’re working on transcribing them all as well) for some fairly basic WordPress functions. If there’s anything else you’d like to see, just let me know and I’ll get it on my schedule.
