I love WordPress! I talk about it all the time. I talk about it so much that many of my friends come to me for help setting up their own WordPress blogs. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.

But this month when I couldn’t pay a few bills because I was so busy helping people with their WordPress stuff I decided that my pro-bono work with bloggers had to end. It was fun while it lasted, but I really don’t like Ramen noodles or Mac n’ Cheese as as steady diet.

So I wrote this ebook about getting started with WordPress. I hope people take it for what it is intended to be - a short (11 pages) ebook about the handful of resources I found helpful, and still find helpful in working with WordPress.

Because I like to be generous I over-commit sometimes. When I reorder my priorities and back off to take of me, it’s not always met with understanding. As that removal of unpaid help happens, some people get angry because they’re not getting stuff for free any more.

This ebook is for people who are seriously just looking for someone to point them to the best online resources where they can learn about WordPress. It is not a “How-to” book because there are already SO many great WordPress How-To books out there. I don’t want to recreate the wheel. And I’m not that much of a geek anyway. Feel free to read it, share it, pass it on. Some will feel offended by the tone and message, others won’t. But I think I made my point - that there’s a difference between asking for an opinion, or direction and asking for someone to work for free. I still work for free sometimes, but it’s my gift and because I feel like it, not because someone has asked. Enjoy! Download it here: WordPress Tips For Newbies
