Our affiliate program is up and running, if you hadn’t heard. Its quick and easy to sign up by clicking here. Then just share your unique link to StartWordPress.com and you’ll get $30 for every person who uses that link, then enrolls in our classes!

We wanted to let you know, we’ve just put up some buttons, banners, and skyscrapers, if you’d like to display them on your site. You simply copy and paste the code for whichever you would like to use, from the “Banners” section of your affiliate admin. Each one automatically uses your unique link, so you’ll receive the $30 credit for anyone who clicks the ads you place. If you haven’t already, sign up today! Its easy and free.

Some examples below (black border displayed here to separate blue in ads from background):

Skyscraper (120×600)	Small Banner (468×60)
	Tile (120×120)	Button (88×31)
	Block (300×250)

Note to students: you’re already automatically signed up. Just log in here, and use your student/class username and password.

We just put up the new video introduction for our Learn WordPress class. You can view it by going to the home page and clicking the intro video graphic (that says click here). If you’re still seeing the “coming soon” graphic, hold down shift and click the refresh button.

Thanks to everyone who’s given feedback on the site. Let us know what you think of the video!

Our site is now live, but hopefully won’t get picked up by search engines a lot, just yet. Its in its early form.

Just in case you’ve found us this early, here’s what Start WordPress is all about: we’re going to bring you classes that will enable you to learn WordPress (the best blogging platform, and in our opinion, one of the best platforms for building all kinds of websites) very quickly and effectively.

Graphic Designers

Maybe your a graphic designer who doesn’t like to do programming. Rather than paying developers to do that part for you, just take our class and you’ll be able to develop on WordPress with little or no programming involved.

Small Business Owners

Or perhaps you’re a small business owner, and the do-it-yourself type, who wants to save all that money of paying a company thousands of dollars to have them build you a website that looks just like a lot of other people’s. Or maybe its an employee or son or daughter who’s “good on the computer” and thinks they can build you a website, but don’t know where to stt. If so, you’re at the right place. $150 will get you (or somebody you know) building your own professional-quality website, including things like online stores where customer’s can purchase your merchandise, a bid-request form, and even social networking to get the word out.

Programmers / Developers

Or maybe you’re a programmer who’s realized that WordPress is the way to go. You’d like to build plugins, themes, whatever for WordPress, but are hesitating because of the time and effort it will take to get past the initial learning curve. You’ve worked with Open Source software before, and know it can take a lot of time and searching to just get the basics down. Well, you’re in luck, our Learn WordPress classes are short and effective and will teach you all the basics with minimal effort!

Everyone Interested in Web Building or Blogging

Or perhaps you’re a blogger, who’s been using Blogger.com or Typepad.com or even WordPress.com (much like Blogger, but running a limited version of WordPress), and want to move to something more powerful with more control. Whatever the case may be, if you want to learn WordPress and/or build powerful, professional websites, Start WordPress is the place for you.

Enrollment for our Learn WordPress class is starting soon! So check back soon for more information and pre-registration discounts.
