WORDPRESS FOR NEWBIES

WordPress explained, not just demonstrated

Welcome! We are a website of free lessons and tutorials for WordPress beginners, or newbies as we like to call them. Our lessons are designed not only to solve your pressing WordPress problems, but to teach you how and why our fixes work, so you leave with greater comprehension than if you had simply followed some steps. We offer three skill-based paths in 9 WordPress topic areas, guiding you towards complete WordPress literacy, with new lessons added every week.

What's the fastest way to make a site look amateur? too many fonts in too many colors.

Use two fonts. One accent color. Consistent spacing.

The sites you admire for looking professional are doing LESS than you think, but doing it CONSISTENTLY

Email from your WordPress website isn't delivering? Check the spam folder. WP uses PHP email which is flagged as spam by every provider now.

Meaning: WP's built-in email system is useless

Download an SMTP email plugin. We use @FluentSMTP
but @wpmailsmtp is good stuff too

Hot off the presses

Open-source values

Community

We pledge to donate 10% of all profits to charities combatting homelessness in the U.S. and Europe, and we want our users to vote on and ultimately select the organizations we supported. Stay tuned for more on this topic.

Transparency

We don’t hide or obfuscate the way our site makes money. Affiliate fee-based tutorials are clearly marked, and we provide info about the programs we are members of as well.

Integrity

We don’t boost a product to get a commission because we want users to trust our recommendations. We believe any revenues lost will be more than made up by user loyalty.

The About page details more about our values and how they influence the way this website operates.
