8 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratings

Hi, I’m Jennifer Weiner, your guide to de-teching WordPress. I’m going to keep it simple so those who identify as tech-challenged can run with what’s covered, one episode at a time.

I believe we can all become good with tech, even if we hate it. We just need someone to break it down and take out all the funny words that mean nothing to the average Jane.

You don’t need a degree or even a ton of know-how to make a nice looking WordPress site to serve your needs until you can pay someone else to do it for you.

That’s what we’re going to cover every week right here, one piece of that WordPress puzzle. You’ll also get some biz, social media, and tools tips to help out along the way.
