Splash Into Summer with WordPress

After having done a couple of Genesis webinars (and opening up Diving Into Genesis again), I had quite a few people email me to say that some of the material was a little overwhelming or above where they were at. SO… I decided to get back to basics and do more of a fundamental training [...]
