    Overview

    This innovative product combines interactive video and a full-color printed reference to explain everything a beginner needs to know to create a blog from scratch using Wordpress. Experienced instructor Joe Chellman presents 4.5 hours of exceptional quality video tutorials, complete with lesson files, assessment quizzes, and review materials. The video is wrapped in a unique interface that allows the viewer to jump to any topic and also bookmark individual sections for later review. The unique Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window to allow the student to work alongside in iMovie. Project files used in the lessons are included so viewers can practice what they've learned, and interactive review questions help reinforce freshly gained knowledge. The video is bundled with a printed booklet that provides supplemental material to enhance the video training.
