Help me decipher the world of WordPress
Was thinking of getting xSitepro to start building my own sites, yet WP seems to be the way to go.
The only experience in that department I have is my own personal blog using the free wordpress site.
I now see that there is a lot more to learn. Lots of professional themes available, and lots to learn about using WP when you are using them as an actual website for a business, as opposed to a personal blog.
So.................
Please recommend me some good info. I'm at the stage of, "I don't quite know what I don't know" at the moment, so it's hard for me to even ask a question, sorry!
Is there a good "dummies guide" to WP?
Anything specific to "Using WP for business sites?"
Where are the best place to go for themes?
Do you (if you're an offline consultant) make web sites with many different themes / theme suppliers, or stick with one you like and jig it around?
"Theme" seems to be important for SEO. Why? When I first signed up for WP (personal blog) I thought it was just for how you like it to look. Yet I keep running across stuff talking about SEO being better with some themes.
How does this world of "themes" work?
Then I keep hearing about "plug-ins"..........security & WP issues...etc etc....
Help!
Basically, something that is too specific in one area is not going to help me right now - I'm more at the "A-Z guide" or "dummy guide" stage.....I need the broad overall.
However, something specifiically from an offline IM perspective would be much better than a generic "dummies guide" that's going to teach you how to build a pretty, personal blog......
Cheers!!!!
