WordPress Video Training - free & current
Well into the 2nd hour of banging my head against the wall while continually failing to fix my Post Via Email configuration problem and muttering “Hell if I know! what the darn problem is”, I finally turned to Google hoping for an answer - but sadly the results did not produce anything even close to a solution. However, there is certainly a bright and shiny turn to this frustrating fact-finding failure.
I happened upon Kirk Biglione’s blog over at WordPress Training. This site is a little gold mine of video tutorials. Not only are they current, but they are also free. There are about 30+ videos (at the time of this post). ‘Just take a look at the index of available training videos and I’m sure you’ll be impressed with the quality and range of subjects that you will find there. But take my advice and bookmark the page if you like what you see, because I had a heck of a time finding it again after changing the location and computer I was originally working on. For some reason Kirk’s site is not easily found in the Google search engine. If you are new to WordPress and to blogging in general, you will probably visit his site often.
As for my email problem, I’m still working on it and muttering, “!@#$ Hell if I know!”

Thanks for the site Sandy. Looks like it could be helpful in the future when we no longer have Bean to ask questions to.

I went to the training site and put it in my rss widgit but got an error message when I tried to see the link. There is something I must be doing wrong but am getting so side tracked reading all these blogs.
I will post a message in the class room to ask you more.
Thanks for the post.

Lee, you are welcome. And you can find the WP-Polls plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-polls/

These sound great, but for some reason neither of the links work for me. I will have to come back later & try again.

There were many reasons why I decided to use WordPress as the blogging platform for this class. One of the main reasons is the considerable wealth of resources to build a better WordPress blog. At the end of the six course you will have the basic skills to run a productive blog but we will only have begun to dig the depths of what you can do with your blog.

Your site seems to be very interesting. But I must tell you that I find it very hard to read. I am old and will soon have cataract surgery, but the white on black is still difficult.

Debbie, Donna, Adele, Lee, Bean, QuirkyArtist, Carol, Sliloh: Thank you all for your comments, support, and feedback. I’m glad you’re enjoying my little tips.
Carol, I totally agree with you - this white on black theme IS very hard to read and I intend on making some changes to it when I have a little spare time. I really appreciate your feedback on this.
