clarify your goals for your website and/or blog

whoa!what the hellwas I thinking?

understand the difference betweenWordPress.com & WordPress.org & a self-hosted site

how many times do I have to tellyou that your site will not be on

WordPress.org

think about your

theme

oooooo, I want them all

choosing your learning resources

books & manuals

WordPress.org

codex

learn.WordPress.orgWordPress.tv

random tips and tutorials

video tutorials

online classes

one-on-one training

in-person workshops and classes

askingquestions

so how do we magically make what we learn

from these resources stick?

what is your learning style?

what are your

limitations?

what else can you add to your brain that is already filled with so much more important information...

like your first date, that poem you recited in the pageant in 3rd grade, the lines from the move Airplane, and the name of that weird, smelly kid that sat behind you in 5th grade

plus find other creative ways to make it stick

so, yeah baby,bring
