    Wordpress is a great softwear and can be learned easier that other web design applications. However, it is not that much that can be learned in 4 one hour lessons. More time and structurer is needed.

    I am so glad I took Terry's Wordpress: Build Your Website 4 Lessons class. I had tried to use Wordpress on my own, and I am not a natural at this sort of thing, and I couldn't get a site made. Terry changed all that for me. I now have a website ready to go. He takes you step-by-step through the process of using Wordpress and explains everything from how to sign up for hosting and buy a domain to how to pick a them and customize the CSS. By the end of the fourth class, you will be amazed at how much you have learned!

    He covered tons of material in an organized, accessible way. Terry definitely went that extra mile. This course is for people who are ready to have their sites up and running and whose WordPress sites are already hosted. He starts at full speed!
