This is a high-level training course to give an introduction to the WordPress environment to orient yourself. 

This module uses a combination of LinkedIn Learning videos, YouTube videos and other formats. You will need to be signed in to your UCSC LinkedIn Learning account with your CruzID. 

 

When you’ve completed this training, you’ll have learned:

  • What is WordPress?
  • Creating Pages and Posts
  • The Block Editor
  • Working with Images
  • Creating Custom Menus
  • Managing Users

 

This module will take you approximately 1 hour to complete.

The LinkedIn Learning videos are a close representation of what you will find on your UCSC WordPress website, but some components might look slightly different, and not every feature will be available.
