About the Author
I've been developing websites for over 20 years, and using WordPress almost exclusively for the last eight.
All of my books are driven by my experiences with clients, students, and readers of previous editions: the questions they ask, observing where they're having issues, and what works best for learning WordPress. I love helping people learn, not just how to use WordPress, but how to make a great website that visitors will love and use.
My number one tip for learning WordPress:
Don't worry about figuring out all the things WordPress can do. Think about what your visitors need and then learn the functions in WordPress that will help you achieve that.
In fact, I recommend learning any piece of software that way. Master what you need, rather than being a slave to all the details.
