What’s this – WordPress for Dummies?

Not even. You might FEEL dumb when you can’t understand tech speak but you’re not alone. Most of us can’t get good at a task that you only practice once every few years (like launching a new website).Even highly intelligent people, like you, will struggle to learn a foreign language.

I don’t know everything I need to know about online marketing but, I know a lot. I’ve been around the business block a few times and I’m tired of the scams, the shams, and the flimflams selling us crap we don’t need and directions we can’t read.

So, in my own fumbling dumbling kinda way, I’ll give out a few tips for us regular folk trying to make something happen on our websites and with our WordPress tools. I only speak English here. No offense to the rest of the world but I’ve got to focus on mastering this language before I move on to the next.

Why I Hate Techies

WordPress makes the online world available to us mere mortals. Superhuman techies suck. They do what they do well. We love them for their talents. Yet, we hate the way they communicate. Open any techie manual for non-techies or visit any support forum and ask for advice on something you no nothing about and ask a question.

It’s like asking a question in English and getting half the answer in English and the other in Mandarin Chinese. Too many techies answer non-technical people’s questions with too technical gibberish. That’s why I like WordPress… but not completely! Okay, this blog will be a combination of bitching and pitching. I’ll tell you why you should buy and why you should fly. I’ll tell you the truth even when…

“YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”

Okay, I’m just getting warmed up here. More to come. Gotta run. Let’s have some fun.
