    I was initially skeptical about taking an online course, but this experience has exceeded my expectations. The lessons were well-structured, and the instructor was very responsive and supportive.

    Let me begin by saying the focus of this review falls strictly on the course platform itself, and NOT on the instructor. The only negative comment I have about the course is that it is currently a little dated. In that WordPress has very recently released a major update, I am sure the course creator has not had the chance to update the instructions. That is perfectly understandable and not at all my complaint.

    My complaint, however, IS with the platform. To say it is wonky would be putting it nicely. The concept of a split-screen, with workspace on one side and instruction on the other, is interesting and attractive at first blush. The actual execution of this feat, however, is MUCH less attractive. The "hosted" browser window in the split-screen workspace is excruciatingly slooow and unresponsive to commands. Just trying to click around in the space is aggravating enough, but compound that with the minuscule text from the reduced screen size (to fit an entire screen in half the space), and you have enough rocket fuel to launch a laptop right across the room. I know, because I almost had to chase mine more than once.

    I do regret that I couldn't even finish this entire guided project. I was actually learning how to build a WordPress website despite the difference between the older WP look and the newer version. But the lagging and sometimes completely unresponsiveness of the workspace area was simply too much for me. I hate that, too, because I really wanted to finish this course and there are a few others I'd like to take that are presented in this same format. Maybe the next one will be different? I'll give another one a try and hope for the best, but you know the definition of insanity...

    I'm disappointed with this course. It appears that the content has not been updated in quite some time, and the information presented does not align with the current WordPress interface. This makes it very difficult to follow along, especially for students who are new to the platform. I reached out to Coursera support for assistance but have not received a response. I had high hopes for this course, but the outdated material and lack of support have been frustrating. I hope the course can be reviewed and updated soon to better support future learners.

    Very disappointing. Started "Build a Full Website around a Blog using WordPress" and after I selected "Add a New Site" on my existing WordPress account, it did not come up with the Add A New Site or Select an Existing Site page. Therefore, I was unable to continue and could not get help. I tried to Unenroll from the course, but the instructions for that didn't work either. I tried re-starting the course 10 times and got the same result.

    Very basic. This course is mostly rewriting the template. 80% plus time was spent changing the text in the WordPress template. The instructor knows what to do but doesn't explain the reason for doing it. Two hours of LinkedIn learning video teaches way more in-depth knowledge about WordPress. But I got a certificate (that's good!).

    Completely do not understand how to use the cloud box to ogring up wordpress site. I bring up wordpress site on independant page is nothing like on the instruction page. I am defeated. It is supposed to be easy. You can;t do it if you don;t know how and I could find nothing to help. I'm done and moving on.

    The course content needs to be updated, considering this is a guided project. The version of the WordPress available today is highly different than the one shown in this project. If you have certain experience working with WordPress before, you might be able to relate to the techniques used here.

    Wordpress has already updated its page and it is not like in the video, they should update the explanation of the course because it is not much use if it is with an old version of the current page, although it is quite good, more or less I can guess what it is or where everything is there.

    not easy to learn - cannot find videos alike some other courses. It is important to make easier formats for students to move around with ease as we are students only and to go at a slower pace as well. Thanks.

    very very unhappy with the course.

    This information is available FOC by visiting Wordpress.com. This was content I knew already but felt this would be more in depth, no actual "Build your own website" takes place, it's already enabled with content in place to simply edit.

    This course needs to be updated. The video does not mirror the steps needed to build a site; the theme they chose does not include images/assets they want you to use. I stopped taking the course as it is completely unfollowable.

    Absolutely terrible experience. Extremely confused instructor. She literally created extra pages and added it to the Menu without teaching that part to us. This class was very very very bad. I did not learn anything useful.

    The course is outdated, and somewhat hard to follow since all of the navigation and buttons are in different places. Also, the external tool runs very poorly, especially with WordPress, running at about 10 FPS.

    Requires a paid subscription to Wordpress as well as a domain name, which may or may not be free.

    LinkedIn Learning somehow manages to teach courses on Wordpress w/o making people pay for a Wordpress plan.

    It seems to be a few problems with the project, problems that a lot of people have. However no reply from the instrutor or Coursera. Keep your money folks! Or just go for another project.
