WordPress Simplified

Jennifer M Weiner

Hi, I’m Jennifer Weiner, your guide to de-teching WordPress. I’m going to keep it simple so those who identify as tech-challenged can run with what’s covered, one episode at a time. I believe we can all become good with tech, even if we hate it. We just need someone to break it down and take out all the funny words that mean nothing to the average Jane. You don’t need a degree or even a ton of know-how to make a nice looking WordPress site to serve your needs until you can pay someone else to do it for you. That’s what we’re going to cover every week right here, one piece of that WordPress puzzle. You’ll also get some biz, social media, and tools tips to help out along the way.

    00: Who Is Jenn, What To Expect, And Why You Might Call Her An Expert

    Welcome to WordPress Simplified Podcast! I’m so excited to share my love for WordPress and all things tech with you. Don’t worry, I’ll keep it simple, as the name suggests! My mission is to help you take back your time by taking over your WordPress tasks so you can get back to doing that thing that lights you up. When we all stay in our zone of genius for as long as possible, we all rise together.  In this episode, you'll learn about my qualifications and who I am. I’ll share why I started this podcast and what you can expect to hear about as we move forward with “real” episodes. I’ll get deeper into my mission, so to speak, and why my overall business “why” changed late in 2020.  I misquoted my services website (how on earth!) the correct site is linked below and in the transcript. Please feel free to leave a review with honest feedback anywhere you listen to podcasts.  Want to keep up with me between episodes?
