Wordpress seems too have updated their features and policy since the time of this lesson. It is a testament to how well the lessons were explained that it did not cause me too many problems.

Great for clueless beginners just like me! I really love the hands-on approach because I was able to explore and copy what the instructor was teaching.

This is my first bad review - this course is totally outdated, I could not complete it because the new WordPress is a lot different. Unfortunately, the free course on YouTube by Tyler Moore was much better.
If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. The "project" space NEVER matches the Instructor's screen. NOTHING is the same. The project needs to be updated to actually reflect the current WordPress site. This is the WORST online "class" or "project" I've ever taken, including some of the crud offered on StackSocial as "instruction."
This one class has wasted over three hours of my life and proven to me that Coursera isn't worth paying for.
Not current with updated version of Word Press. Can be a little confusing, especially if never used before.
It doesn’t follow the current version of WordPress and is therefore completely useless.
Not very good. The working pages do not match the video presentation.
Recommend everyone to follow this course who are willing to know what WordPress is and how it works. Instructor have ability to tell everything a beginner needs.
A well framed course to gather the basics of WordPress for the ones starting out fresh, without any prior knowledge. Concise, crisp and of much help.
Very Useful
Is good for beginners,but i suggest an update on the course due to the changes made on the wordpress website
No additional info provided. Whatever is told is all available on WP tutorials. Does not tell anything on optimization of a blog, which makes to whole purpose of having a blog for business worthless. The guided screen was slow and not responsive at times. The same can be achieved by opening WP in another screen or monitor...very disappointed in this course.
I couldn't do course. My sandbox screen did not match instructors and it was too frustrating.
This is well designed course and very well narrated course. I would like to say thank you to Stacey Shanklin-Langford for her guidance. This will certainly give me confidence to start mu blog post. I would like to say huge thank you to the Coursera for their new platform that provides hands-on experience to learners.

Amazing course And such a good Experience with hands on experience. Really good course If you don't know anything about How to make blog and website .. You're at right place.
Finally I created my own blog site to share my thoughts through publishing content.Thank You coursera for this wonderful course
Outdated tutorial, as WordPress has updated their own website so the tutorial does not match exactly.
The demonstration tool used by the teacher for visual explanation is not completely alligned with the tool the student uses for practice - one of them is either an older or newer version. But it's still possible to somehow navigate through the course
the project page timed out before I even finished and I can't find a way to go back and re watch. I passed the quiz because I took notes but I still have no idea how to use WordPress. I am a TOTAL beginner and I was hoping to be able to create my OWN blogsite but it was merely mirroring what the instructor did. I found it very frustrating as a complete beginner
