We are almost three weeks into the new year and WordCamps are starting to get geared up. So far for 2017, 1,543 videos have been published on WordPress TV, with more videos being submitted. This is compared to the 1,804 total videos that were published for the year 2016.

I decided to feature two videos this week that are geared towards beginners.

Getting Started With WordPress

From WordCamp Kampala 2017 comes this video titled Getting Started With WordPress. Muakelele Rogers does a great job explaining how to perform a  basic installation of WordPress, setup a theme and creating a child theme.

Introduction to WordPress

And from WordCamp Ahmedabad 2017, Dhara Vihol has this Introduction to WordPress video. Dhara states: “WordPress” is a biggest buzzing word in the field of web development nowadays. Starting from 2003, WordPress has altered from just a blogging tool to a huge Web Development Platform.
