New WordPress 2.5 Training Videos Now Online
When I launched this site earlier this year my goal was to provide a collection of high-quality training videos for WordPress bloggers (and would-be WordPress bloggers). While there were plenty of commercial WordPress training videos available, there wasn’t really a complete collection of free videos. Since WordPress is free, it seemed to me that there should be some free training available as well.
One of the things I find most annoying about many of the commercial training videos is that they simply aren’t current. New WordPress users were being asked to pay a premium for out-dated training videos. I’ve worked with enough new WordPress users to know that they can be confused enough as it is. Trying to learn about WordPress from an outdated video series only adds to the confusion.
Of course, it’s not surprising that most training videos are outdated. WordPress is a rapidly evolving system, with an ambitious product development roadmap. Videos that were current yesterday might easily be outdated today. That’s exactly what happened with the videos on this site when the newest version of WordPress was released last month.
Today I’m happy to announce that our WordPress training videos have been upgraded to include the recently released version 2.5. Meanwhile, based on the feedback received from our users, I’ve decided to keep the version 2.3.x videos online for the time being. The vast majority of topics listed in the training index now include videos for the last two major revisions of WordPress.
So, regardless of whether you’re using version 2.3 or 2.5, WordPress Training has you covered. And all of the core training videos on this site are still free. So, before you pay for an outdated WordPress video series, check here first. Chances are you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.
