Welcome to the WordPress guide section.

The goal of this section is to give you an introduction to WordPress, what WordPress can do for you, how to setup a website or blog with WordPress and how to actually make WordPress work for your website. If you are someone who has no idea what WordPress is and how to use it to make a website or blog, this section if here for your reference.

Please note that understanding WordPress is going to take some time. It will take some time before you completely understand each concept and how they fit together. Don’t worry if you do not understand everything, I didn’t understand it either. I did understand when I actually used WordPress for years. Nobody understands everything in the first go, it is perfectly fine not to understand everything on day one.

Carefully read through each topic and try to understand each concept. Do let me know if you have any questions.
