    I am trying to learn WordPress to edit my college student government website (I work in marketing) and this looks like it will involve a lot of coding and it seems way more difficult and harder to figure out than Wix. I have figured out how to use Wix with no issues or confusion at ALL and I am so overwhelmed by WordPress. I hope to figure it out but people that talk to me about WordPress express a lot of frustration with the organization and coding, saying they are up all night trying to figure stuff out. I know the basics of website building and got this tutorial easily so it wasn't exactly all that helpful for me personally. I have no choice but to use WordPress and I hate this already… wish me luck.

    Five Key Benefits of Using WordPress For Your Website

    Here are five key benefits of using WordPress for your website:

    Themes allow you to change the design of your website quickly. There are thousands of themes available for WordPress.

    Plugins allow you to extend the functionality of your WordPress site without knowing how to program. There are over 10,000 plugins available that help you add all kinds of functionality to your site, like social media sharing, SEO, photo slideshows, and much more.

    They are easy to update. If you can create a Word document, you can publish a new article to your WordPress website. Once it is set up, you can update it any time you want, and that is important for engagement with your visitors and for the search engines.

    Google loves WordPress sites. Because they are updated more frequently, and the content tends to be structured well, you can get a WordPress site ranking very quickly compared to a static website. Google has even gone on record as recommending WordPress for business sites (see YouTube video)

    WordPress is supported by a thriving, engaged community. A recent study estimates that approximately 8% of the sites on the Internet are run by WordPress. There are thousands of designers, developers and enthusiasts out there to help if you get stuck. Help is just a Google or Bing search away.

    well i would like to learn how to use word press but i cant download

    Sorry, WordPress is not this simple. It's qwerky and frustrating. When I put in simple content, it has a will of it's own and does weird formating that I'm not able to change. For example, I built a page with a series of text and pictures to display our nonprofit board of directors. It displays just fine on the dashboard but it truncates the text and pictures in funky & unchangeable ways.
    Regarding your video – it was not helpful or truthful. It's a promo for WordPress. WordPress is not the savor that you claim it to be.

    Great intro. I especially like the flexibility part in creating websites from my own custom themes which I am planning on creating.

    For some reason, this video doesn't play past 9:409:50 for me. What might there be at this point in the video, that keeps it from playing on?
