    This is good, but almost 10 years old now, perhaps an update is required.

    I watched the first class and decided to watch the second. There are many useful things in these classes. I have nothing bad to say about Brian Wood and his teaching. Problem is that many things are outdated because this class was created years ago and we are now in 2020. Websites and creating websites are vital to many creative people and things changes quickly in technology. I am a fan of Creative Live but in this case we, students, need updated classes to be able to exhibit our work using modern tools. Some articles/links didn't open and WordPress 5.4.2 is different from Wordpress 4.0. Please, add more classes of Wordpress which actually resemble the time we live in. Thank you!

    I found the class useful, even if some things are a bit dated now, but it would have been better if the class had a dedicated period to ask questions instead of allowing the audience to jump in at-will. This seemed to cause the instructor to get off track and like several others have mentioned, it was incredibly annoying.

    I thought that Brian did a great job explaining how to set up a word press site. I am a novice and felt that I could handle it after watching this. I am a very linear learning and didn't feel like he was jumping around. I felt that he was explaining the process of using a very detailed and multiple optional program well and I didn't have any problems following him. I think you have to have an attention spam and be focused because it is a lot of info and can seem rather detailed. For a beginning class on Wordpress, I am very satisfied with what I just learned and feel comfortable creating websites. I am planning to take the more advanced class based on this. As far as the title, I guess I took the time to read the description of the class before I purchased it so I felt like it was money well spent and knew what I was signing up to receive. I will agree with other comments, the one female student made it difficult to watch due to her need to add something to prove her knowledge. I could have done without that, maybe they could ask the students to limit their comments or questions.

    Great class with clear examples and a patient instructor!

  • Isabell S. Feb 26, 2018

    I think he knows a lot about the topic, but the one student, who has to comment EVERYTHING, constantly interrupts him with comments and questions is really really annoying, so it's hard to follow his explanations and makes it a lot harder to understand the whole thing.

    Outstanding! Clear instructions and the project files are well organized and thought out.

  • Colleen G. Mar 17, 2015

    This is an excellent course! Brian is clear and easy to understand. The info he provided really filled in alot of blanks for me, as someone who knows HTML and CSS and has only some WordPress experience. One of my favorite courses. I learned so much!

  • Joan E. Jan 10, 2015

    As with any course, I hope to walk away with something to advance my skills, at least a step or two. Brian Wood's course helped pull some critical pieces together for me. Most importantly, how to set up and use a child theme. Also very helpful in setting up a favicon and why this is important. I used to get very frustrated trying to figure out the size of images, so his intro to the developer tools was a great help. Nice, easy going presentation style.

    Learned less than I expected. I came into the class with WP knowledge having a created my own functional site. I could have learned everything he covered by reading online, in less time and for free. The instructor was all over the place and never really answered all "really good questions" "you know what I mean?" I believe more could have been covered if the instructor was a better speaker and better organized. He was really difficult to listen to. I don't feel this course was worth what I paid but as I bought in a bundle I'm hoping the other sessions will be better. I recommend catching this course on a free preview before making the purchase. I wish I had.

    I was privilege to watch some of the rebroadcast and I learnt a lots of tips and information. I had a problem with my website and had to re- instal Wordpress. I am now going to apply this new information into the website I am redesigning. Thanks Brian for the free classes.

  • Geoffrey C. Dec 9, 2014

    This was a really great introduction into the workings of using Wordpress. I learned a lot.

  • Susan C. Dec 9, 2014

    In the process of upgrading our church's website responsive and this definitely was the course to watch. Have had a wordpress site for years, but got a great refresher and learned much I didn't know. Thanks a ton, and can't wait to get into the other courses as well to continue my journey.
