Wrox WordPress 24-Hour Trainer

While WordPress is currently the world’s number one blogging software, this is not a book about blogging. In WordPress 24-Hour Trainer, you learn how to use this open-source software to build and maintain a website, whether it’s a blog, has a blogging section, or has nothing at all to do with blogging. I treat WordPress as a content management system — a system you can customize in a number of ways to make it do exactly what you need. Whether you’re building a website for yourself or for someone else, you need to be concerned about twothings: the ease of setting up the site and of maintaining it. This book will show you how WordPress
offers both.
Website owners also face two growing challenges: the demand for ever-changing features and for ever-growing content. Both require a framework that makes the expansion of content fast and easy, and accommodates technological change quickly and easily. WordPress is well-positioned to meet these challenges and that, combined with its increasing popularity, makes it software well worth learning. Since I began building websites exclusively with WordPress, I’ve noticed an important change in my clients: they look forward to updating and expanding their sites. When changing some text, let alone adding a new page, is like pulling teeth, you’re less likely to do it. With WordPress, not only are my clients making their own changes, but they’re excited about it and that’s also made them more involved in their sites. Instead of having a site built and then sitting back, my clients are actively thinking about what they can change or add to make their sites better because they can go in and do it themselves when the thought strikes them.
That’s the real power of WordPress: putting more control in the hands of the website owner.
