Tell me more about these video tutorials
When you buy your website, you get access to my members' site, where you'll find tons of step-by-step video tutorials, showing you how to manage your site with WordPress. So if you forget how to do something, you can go back and watch the video as many times as you like.
And each video page has room for comments, so if you need extra help with something, you can post a question there. You can leave any great tips you've discovered, too! So over time, we'll develop a kind of living FAQ.
Here's a sample video:
