Starting Wordpress

[oddzag]

I've just started working with Wordpress (setup a Wordpress site locally) but tbh, I have no idea what I'm doing. Does anyone know any useful tutorials or websites that can help get better acquainted with Wordpress?

Do you even read before you post? He said he already has it set up, just needs tutorials on how to use it.

@op- Its not hard to use. You can install plugins from the net without having to download them, as well as themes. Its all point and click. Check out wordpress.org. If you can't learn from that then you're retarded.

Not trying to be offensive. Wordpress really is that easy to use.

Mk, does that make you retarded since you don't realize at your age that everybody learns at their own pace? No, it makes you ignorant. If you simply refrain from using the wrong word at the wrong times and you won't be offensive. I shouldn't have even called you out for being ignorant- that too, is offensive.

Joocy, What parts of wordpress do you have trouble with? Basically, you do everything in the Administration panel. Do keep in mind that WordPress is blogging software- so the point of WordPress is for you to make blog entries. Just start fiddling around in the admin panel, but there are tutorials (such as the ones Solo! posted) for more advanced things such as plugins and themes.

He was joking to extent. Because everyone knows that Wordpress is most likely the easier blogging web software out there. It's quite literally made for people that are incapable of making of setting one up.

@op. I don't mean to be offensive, but just take your time in looking over it, I understand everyone has to learn. Trust me, I have gone through things myself and been the last one left behind. Just read it and try to understand as much as you can and ask questions for specific things to sort it out
