Getting Your Feet Wet: WordPress Basics that Still Rock

WordPress is an amazingly powerful tool but how do you get started? There's a huge library of documentation on WordPress.org and at least 5 bajillion blog articles about WordPress which makes it impossible to know where to begin.

I'll be going over the fundamentals of everything WP and I'll dispel some of the common myths as we go. Some of the topics I'll be covering include:

-What is a content management system (CMS)

-The difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org

-Themes - some excellent free themes to get you started

-The difference between a post and a page

-How to upload images the right way

-Widgets - what they are and how to set them up

-Plugins - what they are and how to set them up
