Other WordPress Resources

These resources are for those who want to learn a bit more about WordPress:

Easy WP Guide - A good up to date source. The aim is "to create a simple WordPress manual that will help you to get an understanding of how you use the various features within the WordPress Dashboard to keep your site or blog updated".

W3Schools WordPress Tutorials - Written for a more technical audience that the Easy WP Guide.

WP Beginner - Beginner's Guide to WordPress - The WP Beginner website is a good resource, though this guide contains some material on arranging hosting and installing WordPress that is not really relevant and can be skipped.

WordPress Gutenberg - The Ultimate Guide - a comprehensive video guide to the 'Gutenberg' page editor which is used for creating page content in WordPress.

Gutenberg WordPress Tutorial - another video introduction to the 'Gutenberg' page editor. You may want to skip the second half of the video (from about 16 minutes in) which covers add-ons to the standard WordPress features.

WordPress tutorials from Inmotion hosting - over 800 tutorials many written for beginners. A good section on using the WordPress Gutenberg editor.

Learn WordPress - The official WordPress repository for tutorials. Not recommended as a starting point as it's not organised in a way that introduces topics in a logical order for beginners. But it does contain useful material if you are looking for a guide to a specific task.

Resources for Images

Many websites hold collections of images that are either free of all copyright or where the licensing allows use without cost (though there may be some limitations or conditions such as non-commercial use, or requiring attribution). Try the following sources:

• openverse.org
• pixabay.com
• unsplash.com
• pexels.com
• openclipart.org
• Images from Wikipedia
• publicdomainreview.org
• publicdomainpictures.net

Beware that some of these sites may include non-free images and may lead you on to commercial image providers' web sites where the content may be "royalty free" but not free to use.

Always check carefully even when you find an image using one of the above sites. If in any doubt it's safer to ask or avoid using that image.
