So, you strongly believe that WordPress is the best CMS out there. Fortunately, you aren't alone. According to https://www.data-alliance.net, over 50% of the websites in the entire world use WordPress today. Don't take my word for it; take a look at the graph below and see for yourself!

While I like the platform's WYSIWYG flexibility, I appreciate its behind-the-scenes power even more. Here are several sites that will help you boost your WordPress skills.

 

1. WordPress

 

As you would expect, WordPress provides its own training dojo, and you can check it out here. Access the link and you will be able to discover WordPress' key features and learn how to install it. Okay, you already knew how to do that, right? Then, you will definitely appreciate the WordPress Lessons section, which will teach you everything there is to know about post formats, WordPress feeds, password protection, color schemes, post meta data sections, styling lists with CSS, playing with fonts, WordPress blog design and layout, theme functions files, and more.

 

2. Udemy

 

Udemy is one of the most popular learning platforms in the world, and its "WordPress courses" section doesn't disappoint either. Follow this link to discover 111 high quality, free WordPress training resources.
