Pre-Requisites
The class requires competency with computers and web browsers. Also, this class requires access to WordPress on a self-hosted site — this does not mean a WordPress.com site. Before you arrive, we’ll make sure you have everything in place. We’ll guide you in purchasing only the hosting and/or domain names you need (approximate cost is $100/year), not what the vendors want you to buy. No other purchases are required. Just pay attention and get results. NOTE: All registrations are non-refundable. You will receive access to all videos, and if you wish to cancel, a credit will be given to you for a future class.
