Having never blogged before, I followed my intuition to set up my critical reflective journal last week, as best I could. I knew what I wanted to do, but couldn’t figure out how to do it, without assistance. So, I thought it would be a good idea to invest some time in learning how to use WordPress properly this week.
I did search on Lynda and found the tutorial video series: “WordPress 5 Essential Training” with Morten Rand-Hendriksen
This was a great, and relatively short, introductory course, which quite quickly helped me to see that a WordPress post is built up using blocks. I had been trying to use it like a word processing packages and getting quite puzzled (and a little frustrated) when my text wasn’t behaving as I expected it to.
Following the guidance of the tutorial video series, I feel like I have now grasped the main concepts quite well, and have managed to publish a number of posts that are easily navigated through the menu, category and tag systems that I have in place.
As I work through the rest of the module I will continue to experiment and learn more of the capabilities of WordPress, in an effort to eventually achieve blog that serves me well and I am proud to present.
