Update: This free offer is gone and now you can take advantage of embedded video blog and learn WordPres.
WordPress is best Blogging platform but again you need to understand how to use WordPress and get use to it, to understand and getting things done with it. No matter what, Videos are the best way to getting started with learning anything. If you read my Blogging journey, you would know that I started with BlogSpot and later moved to WordPress. And I could do that with the help of few WordPress training videos, which I found on Web and realized it’s not hard to learn WordPress and using it.
Here at ShoutMeLoud, I offer an extensive WordPress guide, where you can understand WordPress completely and get best of my WordPress resources from one place. And I’m also working on creating more beginner WordPress videos, which I will share later in this article.

Thanks Harsh for your refer to such a great video tutorial site. I need that just because i am starting videos tutorial on my blog soon
Well yes, wordpress is the best platform for blogging, but one needs to understand how to use and get use to it (especially for newbies) and no doubt videos are the best way to get started. And yes, lynda.com has excellent learning resources and it’s the right place to get started for learning. Thanks Harsh for the link to WordPress Essential Training
Nice Post Harsh. This is really helpful for the newbies in the field that are looking for free coaching online to help you with basic WordPress and getting free videos from lynda would be awesome.
One thing I would like to ask is that which all tools you use to create these helpful tutorial videos?
Video turorial is the best way to learn new things. This will be very useful for newbies who don’t have much idea about WordPress. I’m going to watch the videos now. Thanks for sharing
I still sell Wordpress Training to old people in USA… via Skype consulting… I wish they never find out your post Harsh.
Though I am managing a blog (I could not have started on my own- needed and still do need help from a frnd to manage it).
I get stuck up so often and there are so many goof ups I keep making from time to time.
I saw just two videos mentioned here. And, needless to add, they have been extremely helpful.
Just can’t thank you enough!
these tutorial are good for new bloggers, rt now we know every thing about WordPress
That’s Great. Lynda.com course can really help beginners who are just starting with wordpress. I liked the concept of helping out WordPress users.
