Building a portfolio with WordPress
In this tutorial, I’ll be using WordPress, open-source software that powers 40% of the web. Not sure what open-source means, what the difference between web hosting and email hosting is, and how to buy a domain? I’ll walk you through all of it. Not only will you have a great portfolio at the end of it, you’ll also feel more confident about understanding the web and how to maintain your site.
