This training will get you comfortable with the fundamentals of building pages on the NC State Web Platform. No prior WordPress experience is required. If you&#8217;re comfortable with Word, Google Docs, or any modern content editor, you already have the instincts you need. This training shows you how those instincts apply here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each video below builds on the last, so it&#8217;s best to watch them in order if you&#8217;re new to WordPress and the NC State Web Platform. A few short practice tasks are sprinkled in so you can try things yourself before moving on. There&#8217;s no quiz for this training; it&#8217;s available to everyone, anytime, and there&#8217;s an optional self-check at the end if you want to gauge your own readiness before tackling one of our required trainings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Estimated time to complete:<\/strong>&nbsp;about 20 minutes of video, plus practice time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"web-platform-intro\">What Is the NC State Web Platform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Completion Time:<\/strong> 2 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New to the platform entirely?
