It goes without saying that in the modern-day world a huge amount of communication and information is provided from the internet and accessed through mobile devices and desktop PCs.

By staking a space for yourself online you are creating a central point for where you can share and display your work. And also where you can promote your work and potentially build a community.

This will be a short 2-hour course and by the end of it, you will have a WordPress.com website and will have the basic knowledge to be able to go on and build similar WordPress.com sites.
