This document provides an overview of how to build a WordPress site and highlights its benefits for sharing content like photos, videos, and research with students, family, and friends. Key aspects covered include registering for WordPress, using the dashboard to manage posts, media, themes, and settings, adding content and links to posts, and moderating comments. The goal is to illustrate how WordPress can be easily used to create an accessible blog to eliminate paper, allow two-way communication, and increase learning outside the classroom.
