This is probably the only Wordpress tutorial you will ever need to know Wordpress. Be patient and you will benefit tremendously from this guy. Don't jump ahead of yourself, just be patient and you will enjoy and benefit from his teaching style. This is the first time, I looked into Word press and by the 3rd video, I am almost like an expert.

Brad, you have motivated me by this introduction piece. You are a natural teacher: pleasant voice, clear diction, you make complicated things look simple and do something others ignore, construct a well structured lesson plan and deliver a flowing narrative. There’s more to learn than just Wordpress in this piece.

I’m a beginner trying to figure out how to use WP now and this video has been more informative than dozens of current videos has been. Thank you!

WordPress still holds 26% of sites, 4 years back it was 29%. Even today your introduction to the WordPress site still works and it was updated with a lot of beautiful plugins. WordPress holds the key % of lead in the tough competition.

THANK YOU for truly starting at "ground zero" with Word Press. I feel so overwhelmed by just how much can be done and how much detail goes into making a website. I really needed to find someone who starts with the very basic ABC's of what hosting is, what wordpress is, backend vs. what the audience Anyways, thank you very much- I look forward to the rest of your tutorials!

Hello. Thank you for the tutorial. It's clear and informative ( I love how you explain how things work in WP )  straight to the point and easy to follow. The image is clear and your voice easy to understand. thumb up to you. Honestly I have been around looking for tuts on this topic and I wasn't satisfied with them. Yours is clearly the best by far. You are a natural born teacher so keep up the good work. I'll be following what other tutorials you'll be making in the future. Congrats

[bilalmohammed]

The best tutorial for Wordpress I found so far. Not for Wordpress itself only but it gave me the hints how to work on PHP and combine it with HTML being a beginner. Thank you our Tutor so much.

[toufiqulislam]

This tutorial made me actually appreciate WordPress for what is can do
and how it all works...so thanks for that.
A very helpful tutorial when I was struggling with what bit does what,
and generally scratching my head over it all. Although I am not starting
from scratch...but with an advanced site that is already built. I
didn't know where to start...but now I do.

Started dabbling with Wordpress and looked at the backend myself. But always wanted to know the core, the basics. This video really helped. Will look at other videos as well! Thank you very much for putting these!

Thanks for the 'plain English' version of explaining Wordpress! As a very new beginner to Wordpress, this has been extremely informative and helpful! Subscribed!

Thanks for this video series! I'm a web developer and know HTML5/CSS3 very well, and am learning JS, but don't have much experience with word-press or how to appropriately integrate my own HTML/CSS into a theme. These are great!
