      Hello Anne, this course is for beginners with a focus on creating a WordPress.com site using the built-in software and tools of WordPress.com, including the use of the new Site Editor features. It won’t be covering third-party themes or plugins, and so won’t be covering Elementor.

    No one else has used my WordPress site. Once again: Please, just get me back to where I could draft/publish in 2 easy steps: Draft/Save/Write.

    I’m an 88 year old non-technical poet who writes/has been a wordless member and writing everyday for years. (17 books). I’ve gone to your ‘help’ advice. It’s so many steps, I can hardly get my head around it.

    Help! Please do it for me. Help! (Again)
