Learn To Use WordPress with WpLifeGuard!

shandaman — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:42:56 +0000

Today is a very exciting day. Our friends of Bold Perspective a local web design company here in town who are the creators of the white-board frame work have been hard at work on another fantastic project that is finally released to the public! We want you all to show them the support they deserve.

Their newest project is called WpLifeGuard, this service will basically reach and teach newb bloggers how to work the often times confusing admin panel of a wordpress blog. Not only will they be teaching the core components that are essential for any great blogger to know, they will also venture into plugins for spam, and better usability so your blog can become even better!

The old saying you can’t teach an old dog new tricks has been shattered by these guys. Imagine, you no longer have to teach your customers how to use the admin panel, instead you just install WpLifeGuard to their blog that you designed and these guys do the hard part for you with video training!

I know from personal experience that teaching someone how to blog is very hard to do without some form of visual for them not to mention the learning curve in the first few days is intense. My phone has rung non-stop before from clients wanting answers to the questions they had.

So with all that said. Are you ready to taste freedom? Check out the WpLifeGuard site right now!
