Most of my clients have never maintained a website before, and they’re pleasantly surprised when they see how easy it is to update their new WordPress website.

Here’s a copy of the handy WordPress tutorial I give to all my clients. I’d love to hear your feedback and questions. Is it helpful? Any gaps or need for clarification?

Please note, the tutorial is tailored to how we build most of our sites, so if your site is using a different WordPress theme, or has different plug-ins installed, some of the details may vary a bit. Also, the version linked above was written for WordPress 3.x.

If you like to learn via video, WordPress.tv has some great video tutorials you might enjoy. Here’s a few to start you off:

• Writing and publishing a post
• Adding photos, audio and video to your posts
• Using a widget to display your Flickr photos
