Teaching WordPress to Absolute Beginners Part 1: The Build. One of the things that I love to do most with WordPress is to show absolute beginners how to use it . Recently I taught a group of writers how to get to grips with it. The aim was for them all to produce their own author’s portfolios. They ranged in age from around 25 – 60 so it was a pretty diverse group. Their technical ability ranged from someone who had been blogging for years to people who were horrified by the idea of having a blog. During a discussion of Twitter it was mentioned by a few that Twitter is only used by people who wanted to talk about what they had for breakfast. That should give you an idea of what I was up against! The fact is that there are many people who are put off from using blogs and internet tools more generally for a number of reasons: They don’t understand it They think there’s no future in it (my brother-in-law still thinks that everyone’s going to go back to playing with cup-and-ball instead of X-Boxes!)
