Youtube tutorial

  • Unknown's avatar

    I thought that I found a video tutorial somewhere in your help section. It may have at some point become a video tutorial but it did not appear for me in such a way that I have come to expect in/on YouTube video’s.
    It occurs to me that WordPress has so much to offer that one simple tutorial may not suffice. That said I can envision a series of tutorials.
    Speaking for myself while keeping in mind that others may know more and some may know less. But instead of reading instructions then looking for the icons, boxes, buttons, spaces and places, I can say in a few words what I would like to know and can see a simple walk-thru that could have given me the knowledge necessary to set up a basic state page with a few basics moves for the most basic of pages with a headline and perhaps a color to a little more complicated one with ” a theme “, a color, or 2 or 3 other hints to spice up ones page.
    I downloaded the app several weeks ago and hoped that one of the people who recommended your app would have sat next to me and walked me through an initial set up. But that didn’t happen and since I signed up it’s taken me several days and many hours of searching and reading just to get to today’s first entry.
    My analogy of boarding an airplane as a passenger vs piloting it is a metaphor for my experience attempting to figure out things that I have already posted questions about and I still don’t know what the dollar amount means next to certain theme’s. Does that mean them need to be purchased? Rented? or something I have yet to figure out?
    I may have changed my theme or maybe I am just in a stage of looking at how it might look. But I’m not sure if hitting ” save ” leads to change and or if change means what existed with a different theme is lost or only displays with that theme.
    I can see a 2 minute YouTube building a page and a few minutes later I’m where I want to be.
    Your staff is GREAT with their replies! I was just saying how much easier it is for most people to be shown what to do rather than read about it.
    Hope this helps.
