Hello World!

I have been away from my blog for quite some time now. The reason being, I have started recording my own video tutorials on what I do best – WordPress. It took me some time to figure out how to get started using a Screencast application, editing and making sure the narration was useful.

Simply Something Sophisicated - a Wordpress poster

I am pleased to announce that from now on although my blogging frequency might go down but I would not be posting lots of Videos on WordPress, Internet Tools & Blogging.

I hope the readers of ProgrammingKid benefit from it and I would love to hear your feedback on the same. If all goes well, I also plan to start a Video Section soon.

Thanks!

This entry is part 4 of 4 in the series Video Guides & Tutorials

Continuing with the Video Tutorials on WordPress Essential Series , we’ll now discuss how to add Posts as well as Pages to WordPress.

If a CMS is your take then Pages are what you would be adding to your WordPres database.
