WordPress: Create a Website or Blog (Self-Paced)

This WordPress class is for anyone who wants to learn to build or work with a WordPress website or blog. It's a good fit for:

• Anyone who needs to update the content (text, photos, and so on) of a WordPress website or blog.
• People who want to create a website or blog without having to learn code.
• Web designers or web developers who want to get comfortable using WordPress.

WordPress.com is merely one web hosting company you can use (which is run by one of the original creators of WordPress). Because of their name recognition, they are typically more expensive than other web hosts (such as GoDaddy, etc.) where you can also host a WordPress website.

WordPress.org is the place where the open source WordPress software is hosted and documented. Webhosts that offer easy WordPress installations get the software from WordPress.org 

This class is general WordPress training and it does not matter who your website is hosted with. WordPress.com does have an alternate (non-standard) interface it uses by default, but there’s a way to use the standard WordPress interface that we teach (and ever other WordPress hosts uses).
