  Hi,

  WordPress has this guide to help learn how to use WordPress.

  Just keep following the prompts for the free WordPress.com website. You don’t need to purchase anything to set up a site.

  From my own experience so far, the Rhyme iframe that they use causes a bunch of issues, but that has to be addressed by the course instructor on Coursera.

  Good luck with the course.

  Maybe I wasn’t clear. The video refers to a free WordPress option within the iFrame course. There is no such option, so I cannot follow along.

  I have a couple of websites (that were made with another program). I need to update them and make them mobile-friendly. That’s how I see convenient to learn WordPress now. My websites are hosted with GoDaddy, and I can add WordPress there, but I need to be able to build them in WordPress first.

  So what you are telling me is just to watch the video and ignore the other stuff. right?

  You’re in the wrong forum. Since you’re using the open-source WordPress software you need to seek help at these forums:

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the WordPress software you can read this document:
