    The first tutorial I’ve seen where something actually goes wrong like it does in real life. And so — I LOVED this tutorial!

    Very real situation including things not going right. Well done in taking it slowly. The speed freaks can go somewhere else. I would have given up on wordpress if it was not for your explanations.

    @BillHobstetter Nope, not sexy at all. I am whatever is the opposite of sexy. Nerdy? Geeky? I will take “Cool, Hip, Savvy,Cutting Edge, Generous” just fine.

    @tuesdaynightjam Talk about a mixed message. I am not trying to sell myself. I already have almost 50 employees. I am glad you learned. I was just trying to help. The words are the content, silly. I am creepy. That’s my charm. You’re welcome.

    chris, you’re a dude for taking the time to help us all l. But this was excruciating. You’re trying to sell yourself as a professional and you sound everything but. use less words and more content. I would go as far as taking this and other videos like it down and start afresh. this was creepy. (but i did learn some very important aspects to wordpress though, so kudos!)

    Hi Chris,

    This is a great video for wordpress. However, I need some help to make a website. I think I’m almost there. However, since you live on hill. I was hoping you would consult to a fellow neighbor for a couple of hours or a set fee. Whatever works for you. my email address is msglrckr@aol.com.
    Thanks Gwen
