I literally DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE TO START when I was trying to develop a WordPress site. When you're getting ready with your brand new domain name, it all sounds so easy: click, drag and drop, etc. Then you get going and you're like me, it's nine steps back and ZERO forward. And you want to throw your computer against the wall, and you feel stupid. You find forums, you post questions, and the answers make it even worse. You're in WordPressHell. And you stay there, stuck, until by some fortunate google search, you come across a clear, non-technical, easy-to-follow article by a group called WPBeginner.com. A little pop-up announces that they have a Facebook group of friendly helpers, so you join it, hopeful.And they do. And they help. And they hold your hand, and hold it, and hold it, until lo and behold, you have a functional website. But more importantly, you have an understanding of HOW WORDPRESS WORKS...so you can keep getting better at it. And they have HUNDREDS of articles on every aspect of WordPress...each of them clearly-written and easy to follow. Each has a video, and for those of us who need to go more slowly, a text version of the video. Yes, they have some affiliate programs. Yes, some other users may offer advice that is too technical or unhelpful; it's a forum, not a classroom. But don't let this sway your opinion: WPBeginner is the real deal in helping WordPress newbies get confident in using a great tool. THANK YOU!!!!
