I am a newbie to WordPress and I am very imPress’ed by it;)

I wanted to know more about the under the hood stuff so I googled “books WordPress” and this forum was top of the list.

I am glad I read all the postings as now I know that all the information I need is available online. This is a change of paradigm for me as I normally tend to run towards linear media such as books when faced with the challenge of learning something new.

I am sure as WP continues to grow that more and more people will seek info about WP and its capabilities just as I did and looking for a book may probably be their first attempt to accomplish this.

Had I not read this particular heated forum topic I probably still would be looking for a printed guide.

Educationally speaking, people like me need to quickly learn the methods, etiquette and conventions associated with the online, do-it-yourself nature of learning about software such as WP. I need to build CONFIDENCE so that I can do this without a book beside me.

Now, my first step is to learn “how to learn” from online resources. I will set about researching WP through the fantastic resources that this community has contributed for free. THANK YOU to all who have provided beginners like me with very useful and encouraging information and the support to get me through this.

Thank you for your COMMUNITY
