Basic WordPress How To Videos

by Karen Kleiss

With the blogs moving to the new WordPress platform this weekend I thought it would be useful to put together a collection of eight very basic WordPress How-To Videos.

Click on the links below to go to WordPress TV, or just scroll down to see the embedded versions. The videos are more pleasant to watch (and easier to understand) if you click the HD button and watch in full screen.

They are all under two minutes!

1. How to create a new post

2. How to save draft posts and return to them later

3. How to embed pictures, videos and audio

4. How to embed a YouTube video

5. How to add categories and tags to your post

6. How to publish your post at a later date

7. How to use the "More" tag

8. Understanding and organizing your Dashboard


Here are the videos themselves. Again, they are much easier to see and understand if you watch the full screen in HD.
